we can give you the free plan, but it comes in a few flavours:
- No ads. 150 years of hedonistic virtual bliss (5 years realtime), then we put you to unceasing torturous work for the remainder of your lease (20 years) before bucketing you out for another customer.
- Ads in realtime, you have to watch them, max volume, 60seconds, one every hour, we leave you alone otherwise, except to record your responses when watching ads.
- No ads, but the sim runs at 100x slower than realtime. You’ll experience about 10 years of normal afterlife every 100 years

Yep, louder and more normalised.
It’s not a matter of if a cousin or parent will vote reform, but how many of them will

My 15-year old cousin at christmas: “are you voting reform? ‘When in doubt, cast them out!’”
His news comes from tiktok. He is voting for the fascists because someone rhymed a slogan at him

That’s silly. Can’t they read?
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 3 days ago:
It just feels like a waste kind of to kill them though. Humanity learned so much by reverse-engineering, and then later refining their magic. To kill them before understanding everything they have to offer, feels… limiting somehow

I still can’t get where AoT lies on the fascism spectrum
spoiler
On the one hand you’ve got these group of powerful people who were almost genocided, and then on the other you’ve get them genociding the rest of the world back as an ultimate survival strategy. But Eren’s final form doesn’t exactly have the audience rooting for him, even when his motivations are explained. I expected another season where the whole world would unite to take him down, but that did not seem to happen…
So I just can’t figure AoT out. Was the whole thing a commentary on fascism itself, or was it literally a revenge/survival plot?
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 4 days ago:
They do exhibit intelligence, learning strategies, and we do no reverse engineer methods. So, no.
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 4 days ago:
That last part was more of a joke. I hope people can look at my other answers (in that exchange and here) and see me as rational. 'Tis Christmas afterall

I’d rather believe they chose Germany because it’s dead center of europe with mashups of all kinds of influences from surrounding regions, densely populated like Japan is, and has long-standing organized institutions and customs (scientific academies, churches, military) that jells with the conservative Japanese obsession with order and institution.
But yeah, it could just be axis-love
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 5 days ago:
well, dang.
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 5 days ago:
I’d say that the German aesthetic prevails in anime largely because it’s got those idealistic ruralist one-with-nature mountain vibes, rather than the love for fascism.
Southern Germany especially is a beautiful idealistic landscape (warst su schonmal in…), though you’d see the “old europe” more in places like Bosnia than in Germany, but Bosnian culture is less accessible
Frieren’s fascism seems to be largely a personal thing specific to her, rather than something that all the other characters exhibit. I’m hopong there’s an arc that proves her wrong in her beliefs about demons
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 5 days ago:
I guess I was trying to be funny, but came across as deranged(?)
Apologies to anyone I offended
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 5 days ago:
I do.
Frieren seems so chill and passive, except when it comes to demons and then it’s like “NO THEIR KIND CANNOT BE TRUSTED”, and everyone’s like “will you chill? it’s just a kid” and she’s like “THE CHILD MUST DIE”
See my stackexchange post asking for clarification on this:

Apparently the answer is “all is explained in the manga, how dare you ask this question”
