  • My friend forces me to watch the anime and then showed me the manga. The anime feels like another souless adaptation. It lacks so much context, so many details that just make the whole thing a mess. There are scenes than are completely different in both works, if not completely missing, just beacuse the anime chose to not include inportant details.

    For anyone who like the anime, read the manga. It’s so much worth it.


  • Depends. Lots of shit doctors out there who don’t care avout their patient. I’ve seen guys go to a doctor with a problem, only to be barely checked, if at all, and sent home with an unhelpful prescription or advice.

    Plus gender-epecific conditions are poorly taught in med school, or to the wider public in general. Most members of the opposite sex rarely know about conditions affecting the other, or even their own. As a guy, I’ve learned about Endomitriosis because of youtube. But also I’ve learned that men have much worse symptoms with viruses than women, from a TV show.

    Thankfully there are many doctors who take their job very seriously, but it seems they are hard to come by, especially in the US.






  • So the AI provided factual information and they did not like that because ‘slavery bad, therefore there was no benefit to it.’ There were benefits to slavery, mainly for the owners. US had a huge cotton export at one point, with the fields being worked by slaves.

    But also a very few slaves did benefit, like being able to work a job that taught them very useful skills, which let them buy their own freedom, as they were able to earn money from it. Of course being a slave in the first place would be far better, but when you are one already, learning a skill that makes you earn your freedom and get a job afterwards is quite the blessing. Plus for a few individuals it might’ve been living in such terrible conditions, that being forced to work while getting fed might’ve not been so bad…



  • Unfortunately the death penalty is currently not about killing the criminal, but a good-looking death. Basically it does not matter if the person suffers for an hour, as long as it is not visible.

    From hanging, electrocution, to gassing (yes, US did that at one point) and lethal injections, the method was always slow and painful.

    With the lethal injections one, most chemicals were banned for it, so they are poorly researched by laymans, not as functional and literally made so the person is paralyzed, while they still can feel everything and can painfully be dying for half an hour.



  • Political extremism has been on the rise for more than a decade. Especially with the help of the internet, radicalization has been getting easier and easier. You just need a reasonable-sounding speaker and before you realize, you are far gone.

    Both sides in the US have been getting more and more extreme, pulling away from the middle One side will openly talk about their extreme ideologies, which attracts many with the same beliefs. The other side hides behind compassion and helping people, only to stab you in the back when it’s too late to run.

    I am sure the 2-party system does not help. You are forced to either vote bad guy n.1 or slightly less bad guy n.2. With no other option, it will not take long before you end up listening to your new side and well…you know what happens next. With no space for a more reasonable side to enter, everyone gets radicalized and then a third side becomes a solution no more.

    Hope the government falls and is rebuilt, before it all turns into another herrible page of history.

    We had those types of tests but as to what type of secondary school you would fit in. I of course did not take that test, because I already had a plan. And those who did, ignored it anyway. Not sure what is worse. These job tests, or what people use as a reason for their decision, or the lack of one. Studying computer network technics, two in my class were actually interested in computers. The rest: ,Well, I play videogames, so I figured I could do well here."

    -their answer to the question of why they picked that study
