not all of them of course, but main characters especially are often given time to develop and grow. over the course of a given series. maison ikkoku is a great example of this.

correction, meant to say "gut feeling," not "guy feeling"

it's just a gut feeling. could be completely wrong, but it feels tactical, meant to smooth things over by letting both parties think whatever they want.

or I could just be talking out a paper asshole, who knows?

I'll give a few examples.

Trump calm down, you're clearly in the wrong here.

Trump calm down, Don't lose your cool over this little shit.

that's what I mean by being interpreted multiple ways. one of the limitations of text-based communication is certain things can be interpreted multiple ways, and without non-verbal cues, it isn't always clear what the intent is.

this statement can be interpreted multiple ways, and I suspect that was the point.

according to a comment on the article, apparently you have to look for "android safetycore" or something like that. make sure you're in the "all apps" area, and "include system apps" is checked if it's an option, just to be sure.

inuyasha

Rumiko Takahashi has been spinning gold from her oekaki pen for decades... Not really in love with Yasha Hime (inuyasha spinoff, basically a "the next generation" type of deal), and Kyōkai no Rinne took me being in the right mood to get into, but most of her stuff is amazing.

sidenote: read the inuyasha manga. it's a lot darker, more in line with Mermaid Saga than her more light-hearted stuff, and the visuals give you a better idea of why inuyasha had so much trouble choosing between kagome and kikyo.

remember when canada honored a "Ukranian freedom fighter who defended the nation against russian aggression during WWII" (paraphrasing), and it turned out the dude was in a ukrainian SS division? his grandaughter made the comments...

horseshoe theory is utter bullshit, largely based on contradictions in political science, and the variable definitions of the false left/right dichotomy often ascribed to therein.

see that's the thing; he was technically supposed to have been taken off of suicide watch, but they never moved him, which adds a new wrinkle to the magic happening.

michael jackson

you know, that's an interesting wrinkle in the Diddy case worth digging into. right before the child abuse allegations, jackson was set to have sony return his own album catalog, while already owning the elvis and beatles catalogs, and sony was doing everything in their power to stop it.

not saying he's not guilty, i don't know the facts, but it would be interesting to dig into what business deals diddy was involved in right before the allegations started...
