No you just immerse in the wall for a femtosecond.

We might not know the parents, but we do know that iPads didn’t exist in the past and people still managed to raise kids.

No clue, also not a chemist. I would probably just say “atom” or “neutral molecule” instead.

You gave it a generous amount of your time. I’d say if you don’t like it in the first few episodes it might not be for you. I was hooked almost immediately.

Welp, I guess we didn’t need a terrorist attack to justify war with Iran after all.

I’m only familiar with “spectrum” from linear algebra (spectral theory), but I’m not sure that’s how people intend to use the word “spectrum” in this context haha.

I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.

Swapper
Not my actual favorite, but it’s very high on my list, and I didn’t see it posted yet.

I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.
I don’t think it’s fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn’t blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that’s a bad take, but it’s not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.
- Comment on What TV show always shows up on ‘best ever’ lists but just doesn’t belong? 4 months ago:
I’m reaching a little here, but I couldn’t get into Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I gave it around 10 episodes IIRC and just didn’t like any of the characters or find the plot very interesting. It’s possible the English VAs had something to do with it too; I normally watch in Japanese but I was watching FMA with friends that don’t like subs.
I was surprised because it’s ranked so highly among anime.
