But if that was true they would have to find a new person to write the story.

I can see a government official saying "it is cheaper and it gets rid of demographics we don't like! Win win!"

Perhaps they shouldn't have fired secret agent Bob and Steve in favor of shouty preachy people who don't care about what they're covering?

What you mean that trailer that was basically "I grew up the daughter of a great fighter pilot" and did absolutely nothing to tease what rogue squadron would even be about could potentially be an even worse show than the current disney crap?

I think you're putting a lot more effort to say that the show with bad world building and filmsy conflicts (exactly how do you build tension when the closest you have to a really difficult fight was in season 1 when the vampire bitch got mind controlled?) hasn't really done all that much to establish a fun setting or interesting plot. This show is like watching one punch man but the fight scenes suck and the main cast are all pricks who never face any real difficulty because they're all overly powerful.

Obviously the source material probably does a better job (I don't read the light novels, especially when I can hear from people who have read it who state they're sick of the story's pacing and how bleak it is). The anime itself suffers from bad pacing and waste of characters (you know those likeable people in season 1? Yeah they're all dead). Then we get to watch season 2 where the stupid lizard people are too busy trying to do the horizonal monster mash then prepare for an incoming war and we already know the outcome of the upcoming battle. Then season 3 hit and they put even less effort than they did before with ugly CGI and trash tier villians (the ones that aren't the main cast but I'd argue that the main cast also fails to be exciting in the anime because they are very one note and don't do anything endearing).

tl;dr its a show where sociopaths fight other sociopaths while some of the sociopaths try to bang the other sociopaths. The fact that world building brings things out of nowhere and does little to be consistent is the least of the shows problems.

TBF since the show does a very poor job of explaining what rules are and aren't in effect (i.e does race affect your morality? Why do some people have powerful stuff while others don't and will never get anywhere close? what were people doing before Momonga came into be? What is even the point of Momonga's adventures? etc) it isn't really out of the question to examine if the characters actually meet their archtypes like the vampire who can cast holy... somehow. It is certainly a setting where game rules seem to be turned on and off whenever it would be convenient to the Nazarick tomb supremacy.

It's a spinal injury. You really shouldn't move them if its a spinal injury because that could kill them or cause permanent disability beyond the original injury's damage

I forgot about the retired FBI part. Also I just remembered that Fed officers were at Uvalde. Yeah you are right. Shame Canadian don't have any real recourse if the government is in on it though.

I agree that Uvalde and Vegas shootings are pretty similar.

The key thing is that Uvalde shooting and Vegas shooting don't involve what obnoxiously looks like federal support. Maybe the Vegas shooting has some suppressed information that suggests the feds were involved but nothing gets more ridiculous than someone being allowed to impersonate federal officers (an officer already contacted the killer before the spree and told him that he is not allowed to drive the car as it was currently painted... somehow not realizing that no one paints their car like a federal officer's car by accidental) and get more way more guns than he could have possibly acquired without someone noticing (Canadian gun laws are very strict).

I'd say Canada is worse because things like this happen and then no one does anything or even remembers. Our Charter doesn't even have free speech in it and your right to representation isn't even properly enforced.

2020 Nova Scotia attacks. Dentist with known history of violence gets RCMP uniform (no clue how he got it) and car (via auction) and despite police knowing that he painted the car to resemble an RCMP vehicle was allowed to go on a large killing spree targeting people's homes and then eventually random people driving down the road.

dbomb 13 points ago +13 / -0

Considering we had a dentist go and buy a bunch of RCMP uniforms and guns. Then sit on a road for several hours dressed as an RCMP stopping and killing everyone who came near... AND we still don't have a reasonable explanation for how this happened (the government response was to ban 1.5k types of guns including guns that don't exist and ignores the fact that you don't need any special kind of gun to kill people who think you are a police officer and have stopped their vehicle also the fact that his weapons were illegally acquired)... I'd say yes.

This isn't even mentioning the obviously corrupt antics of a certain prime minister.

it's funny because sword and shield had characters people were finding attractive. Even the MC female character could be customized to be pretty good looking (at least not an eyesore like the people in the top right image) and plenty of people thought she looks good even at default.

Given the current political trends, I guess they decided it wasn't enough to dumb down pokemon gameplay, animations and storyline (sword and shield had pretty much non-existent villians; the danger was completely by accident) but also to destroy the graphics and character designs even further.

The idea I'm going for is the lack of foresight and the inability to really understand what it is they are actually doing and instead going for grandiose gestures to show how powerful they are (don't think we didn't see the flying trees in that city or in Mao's case how insane it was to kill birds instead of just building enclosures or something). They're doing this to look cool

In this case, this city isn't even meant to help agriculture so that definitely wasn't the angle I was going for. The city is meant to preserve nature... even though it kills the birds... who are apart of nature. Kinda like how Mao killed the birds to preserve his agriculture... even though those birds were a net positive to his agriculture (and this is ignoring the egoism of the "smash sparrow" campaign which we shouldn't ignore because both the campaign and the city are very egotistical in presentation; the smash sparrow stuff was apart of a an extermination list of 3 other creatures, flies, rats, and mosquitoes but since it was hard to kill those, they just went for sparrows apparently)

Why did the mao regime kill all those birds? There are particular end goals and ideologies their philosophies have in common.

Wait, if it's shameful to send women and daughters to war why is woke media constantly shoving women and daughters into ww2 and other conflicts where they barely made up the combatant population? Sorry but you normalized sending this demographic into combat.

The only major research I've seen that wasn't mindless droning from MSM that mentions myocarditis is that the vaccine causes it. Research typically mentions that covid19 is a respiratory illness. Meanwhile the MSM have claimed with minimal evidence that sure the vaccine causes myocarditis but so does covid19 and covid19 does it worse (citation needed also define worse myocarditis?). But the vaccine also doesn't prevent infection and isn't the same as getting covid19 so you can get vaccine and covid 19 problems... eh why not just take both to maximize your chance of myocarditis? and thrombosis... and dying from covid 19 strains?

We take vaccines to protect ourselves... except the vaccines don't protect individuals, to protect others! except the vaccines don't prevent spread... to save just one life... by maximizing the chances of death or injury... no wait... we take these vaccines because people in the government tell us to take it. That's what vaccines are supposed to be about, taking it because people who can't be coherent or consistent told you to take it. I'd write more but then my post would look like a lefty meme.

I don't think most humans would do what he did. Most humans at the time made a run for it, screwed over the system, did the minimal possible or turned traitor as soon as it became possible. The Nazi's had it pretty bad in terms of people being loyal. Italy basically overthrew itself as soon as it became relevant. Operations in France were never good and loads of German staff tried to kill Hitler and disarm the SS.

Many people like to point out that the superior orders defence aka the Nuremberg defence could help protect you since you're just doing your job but the defence immediately collapses one you have a moral choice. There was no gun to his head, there was no shielding of the information. He knew what he was doing was wrong and he did it. We can see now that loads of people are happy to be fired over not taking a vaccine, these are the people who are under tough times and yet they are not compliant and taking the vaccine wouldn't kill anyone under most circumstances (but so would not taking it but that's besides the point). Most people would not be happy or even willing to do Soro's job and that's not even commenting on what he does at the present.

I think the point is that no one is really comparing adverse reaction to that. The real thing to compare to is the protection from covid hospitalization (i.e severe reaction) and death. And the numbers clearly show that the vaccine will cause more severe adverse reactions (in addition to minor adverse reactions) than there would be covid deaths or hospitalizations for young demographics.
