“Is that the new pope?”
“Yeah!”
“Is he doin a good job?”
*4 second pause, looks back at photo
“Uhh, yes. He’s doing a good job. Did you know he’s from America!?”
I thought the serious 4-second evaluation period was funny. Good to know he’s doing a good job. This was at a Catholic thrift store yesterday.
Your arms and hands would be pretty messed up. Depending on which arm was broken twice and how badly, it may be permanently damaged.
Biggest thing is probably blood loss. I think your survival comes down to how much blood you lost in your glass injuries and from every other injury combined.

I recognize your account and see you around a lot. I like your insightful posts, especially about Chinese language. I was just thinking about one of them earlier today, that country names in Chinese may predispose certain assumptions about the country like USA being written as “beautiful country” etc.
In defense of chronological order, the “original release” is only 14 episodes and the so-called broadcast order that many recommend is a fanmade amalgamation of the 2006 broadcast and 14 of the 28 episodes that aired in 2009.
In a literal sense, the “broadcast” or “original” order is not the original order of the broadcast. There were 14 episodes in the 2006 series and 28 episodes in the 2009 series, only half of which were new. “Broadcast” order is just the 2006 series with the new episodes tacked onto the end.
There’s nothing wrong with the broadcast order, but many people think of it as “the original” or “closer to the original artistic intent”. If you’re watching 28 episodes of the show, that’s simply not true. Many of the episodes are placed much better in the 2009 (chronological) order, especially Live Alive and Someday in the Rain. I would never recommend watching those so early, as one would do in “broadcast” order.
I personally recommend the chronological order OR if you’re willing to be a little bit confused trying to figure out what episode to watch next, a custom watch order like this one posted by user Xirema to Reddit or this one that I created and posted to MyAnimeList a couple years ago.
Seems to be queer exclusive, ignorant of climate change, ignorant of the economic reasons people aren’t having children, and (knowing the villainous Heritage Foundation) probably based strictly in prescribed gender roles.
Aside from all that, this is in theory a really good idea. Get people prepared for marriage and children, probably improving their own lives and the life of their kids. If this is done in a way that is cognizant of different cultures and queer families, it could be great. Maybe pay people a token amount to be there, too, just as a motivator.
Yes!
The sexual harassment is definitely a major part of the show and while I think its portrayal is very nuanced, many would disagree and that’s also a valid take. “Endless Eight” is the arc where they reanimated and rerecorded the same episode (8 times actually), but each episode was directed by a different person. It’s probably my favorite part of the whole show but again, many disagree and think it’s just boring.
So many pointless comments in here talking about how this cannot be objectively discussed. You are contributing nothing to the conversation. Of course it’s subjective. Do you see a thread called “what’s the best movie?” and respond like “☝️😏 actually there’s no such thing as a best movie because it’s all subjective.” Come on, the subjectivity is implied. You agree to a subjective discussion when you answer the question.
I find that the second model in your image is more accurate from a utilitarian perspective. At the most basic level, I think the origin of goodness is in pleasure (/happiness/whatever). Evil is the opposite: someone taking away your pleasure. Therefore goodness exists first, and then evil emerges as the absence of good.
Anything that’s evil, even pain and suffering and illness, is only evil because it’s preventing good. Why does this count as the absence of good instead of the presence of a novel concept of evil? Why not, rather, do we think of pain coming first with pleasure as its absence? I would argue that pain and suffering are not inherently bad; in a world without good, pain and suffering wouldn’t mean anything. On the other hand, pleasure is good even without the existence of suffering.
I’ve heard this one before and I’ve heard that the “correct” answer is to save your mother because “you can always get another wife but you can never get another mother.”
I’ve also heard that the answer to this (originally Chinese) question is indicative of cultural values (filial piety like you say) but I wonder how differently people would answer in a wide survey… If my mom asked me, I would choose my mom because I don’t have a wife.
Though it’s unintuitive, the validity of a sample size has more to do with its literal value/size than how it compares to the total population.
If you have a sample size of 1000, your predictions about the 2000th individual in a population of 2000 will be just as accurate as your prediction about the 10,000,000th individual in a population of 10,000,000.
A bigger sample size is better, but it has almost nothing to do with the total population, it doesn’t matter if it’s 1.2 billion or 100 trillion.
You might be right but that’s not a simple casting change
Personally I just have a list of animals that I have enough respect for to never consider eating them. If I’m convinced enough, I’ll add new animals to the list.
I get this too. I didn’t think/know it was air pressure though? Seems to happen to me randomly, and rarely.
What does a jellyfish-themed party entail? Nature documentaries? Jell-O?
It was my midnight snack while working on a project:
Hawaiian roll, slice of cheese, pesto.
I can only recommend it if you got the Hawaiian rolls and cheese for free, which was the case for me.
In the original picture I could only ever see white & gold, but in this photo you post I can see either way.
6/4 sounds great. I think 3/2/3/2 is also an option, or if there’s one more work day, maybe 3/1/4/2. If only five days of work, we could try the most radical 1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1/1 (work every other day). 5/5 is actually pretty reasonable and maybe my favorite. It’s actually pretty workable for employers too because if you need someone working every day, it’s simple to just hire two people. Makes it easier for everybody, and doesn’t it sound great to have three 5 day breaks every month?
I think the biggest advantage to a 10 day week is really just that it accommodates more variation in schedule, and not every person or every industry has to have the same work week. It certainly helps being an even number, so scheduling anything for every other day is easier.
I’m actually so down for calendar reform but it seems like it’s probably an impossible task.
I remember seeing this clip several months ago. In context, it was clearly in reference to Biden’s cancer diagnosis, which was still popular/relevant news at the time.
