(Mangaka is also notable for a short series where the premise is "what if I met my awesome traveling anthropologist wife because of COVID lockdowns" during the, well, irl COVID lockdowns)

Which delays do you think are unnecessary, and why do you think they are unnecessary?

Bit of a side tangent, but: given what's going on in Brazil right now, I'm starting to wonder if even locking up Trump might have failed to stop the MAGA movement in 2024

My Korean relatives living in Korea thought Trump was the shit, almost entirely because they thought at the time that he was charismatic, energetic, and wouldn't do anything particularly crazy And then the GA Hyundai factory thing went down

Out of curiosity, do BLS stats distinguish between "not in the labor force" due to retiring, vs "not in the labor force" due to misfortune in getting a new job (and therefore probably in dire financial distress)?
100
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Not that I disagree with the overall thrust of your argument, but given that the BLS expressly defines "unemployment" in that particular manner, does it not deliberately exclude from "unemployment" certain categories of people who do not have a job, technically speaking?
120
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I'm assuming that the next logical step taken from this definition is "ergo, once you have not actively looked for a job for 4+ weeks and fall under the 'not in the labor force' category, you no longer count as 'unemployed' in relevant BLS statistics"
000
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
For sake of clarity--and correct me if I;m wrong--I think Red Terra may be referring to the definition of "unemployed" as used by the BLS www.bls.gov/cps/definiti...

"My government should use military force to promote its interests" Well I dunno man, on one hand that could result in defending, say, Ukraine, on the other hand it could result in invading Ukraine

twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I found a similar issue with a lot of the questions on this quiz, especially ones revolving around government surveillance and use of military force to push national interests

This entry doesn't quite count as all the Dark Souls entries are generally pretty popular, but: while Dark Souls 3 might be the weakest entry (certainly the case in worldbuilding), it's got my favorite soundtrack of the lot

Shaq Fu is widely considered one of the worst fighting games of all time. It was so bad that there was a website dedicated to nothing but tracking down copies of it to destroy them. Yet its OST friggin' slaps www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nh7...

Otherwise, I find villains who cannot understand goodness or morality on a fundamental level. Frieren's various Demon antagonists come to mind.

On the surface he's a pretty vicious villain and he has a cool teleportation ability, but compared to the near-mythic grandeur of his old master, he's pretty second rate and it's implied that he permanently fucked things up for Team Evil

Fair enough, I checked around some polls myself and it looks like I hadn't updated my assumptions since ~last October, where democrat approval ratings were indeed at their nadir

Of course, given the current SCOTUS, it could also provide an opening for SCOTUS to declare that the 1964 Civil Rights Act went beyond the purview of the Commerce Clause and Equal Protection...

twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
FWIW, the constitutional authority underlying the 1964 Civil Rights Act seems to have been the Commerce Clause and the 14th's Equal Protection (plus the 15th in re voting). Current SCOTUS Calvinball shenanigans aside, I'm curious as to whether those bases could support (cont.)

Last I checked, approval ratings for the Democrats were quite low
110
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Democrats are obviously gaining in the polls, but it's unclear to me how much of that is people becoming genuinely fonder of Democrats, or people simply hating Republicans more
100
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
In my corner of the internet, opinions about the Democrats have either largely held steady since 2024, or have in fact gotten more negative (largely animus against old guard Dems like Schumer, Jeffries, and Harris who are perceived as do nothing centrists)
100
twiceborn.bsky.social @twiceborn.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yeah, from my anecdotal experience, it's not that Dems necessarily got more popular since 2024 it's just that the GOP's popularity plummeted

My gut says that much of the appeal is in is the luxury of it. In American cuisine, steak is considered a prestigious food, lobster is considered a prestigious food, so...if you have both on one plate, there's a certain decadence to it.

Out of curiosity, is kugel normally sweet? I had it one time at a Jewish diner and it had the texture of Mac and cheese but the flavor and sweetness of a ny cheesecake. Very unique.
