I think with the quotes in the title and the "(as seen at the evil empire, but I just had to liberate it)" they are trying to imply that they took it from Reddit.

Back when I was really into Pokemon I liked Dewott. After not playing Pokemon for several years, I think Pikachu became my favorite; it's really the only pokemon you get exposed to if you don't play the games and the design is very iconic.About a year ago I played Cobblemon (Minecraft Pokemon) and Joltik / Galvantula became my new favorite. 🕷️
It doesn't have a title but it goes like "Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click."It's my ceiling fan. I recommend it if you're hot.
Even if you believe in many worlds that are created by quantum events, you don't have to think that those events are influenced by or have anything to do with free will
Misogyny probably originates from a place of jealousy, tbh. They take a little more maintenance, but vaginas are absolutely the superior sex organ.

What I imagine to be the "true" answer to the question is that "consciousness" isn't really real, but if it's thought of as a result of physical/chemical properties, then there's no dividing line between what reactions count as consciousness (ie, a waterfall or tectonic plate could also be conscious).
You can't prove that you experience that sort of intangible experience and it can't be measured or well-defined, so I'm personally inclined to not really believe in it at all.OR if we do accept that it's a result of chemical reactions and we want to define it in terms of those, then there's not a strong reason to differentiate a human experience from rocks or computers or waterfalls.I think people are inclined to think that such a thing exists because we have the abilities of memory and communication, but the concept itself I think is not very useful. Which is why I suspect that a magically True answer would say that the physicality of the brain itself is as close as you can get to that idea.
The physical processes themselves are the so-called subjective conscious experience in a way that cannot be better described by an abstraction.There's no such thing as a conscious experience without physical processes and no hard-line difference between different physical reactions that would differentiate consciousness and non-consciousness.
I really got into anime in 2018 with Little Witch Academia but as a kid my first anime ever was probably Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind or another early Ghibli movie. Also as a kid I watched the Cardcaptor Sakura movies.
My first impressions were very positive. I was kinda primed to expect all anime to be trash and cringe so I was surprised when Little Witch Academia was actually just a great show. I've been watching non-stop since then, learned the language, translated some manga, etc.
My favorite series since I first watched it in 2020 has always been The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Every arc is amazing, the characters are so interesting, and the presentation is so creative. Though I just recently started PaniPoni Dash! and it's the first thing that's ever challenged Haruhi for me; it might be my new #1. It's 2005 Shaft and it's kinda the peak of Shaft's style and quirkiness and it's also really funny.
I also just recently watched absolutely the worst anime I've ever seen: Kennel Tokorozawa. It is funny, which is a positive, but not enough to outweigh how overwhelmingly awful it is as a whole.The worst things I've seen that (somehow) have an actual level of popularity and acclaim: Shinsekai yori, 86, The Boy and the Heron. All bad for different reasons, but each one irredeemably terrible.
You didn't ask, but I'll also mention what I think is the most underrated anime ever: Christmas in January. Amazing short movie. Not very popular or well-regarded, but very subtle and emotional and whimsical. Definitely the most "hidden gem" thing I've ever found.
The idea that July and August were added and shifted the months to be wrong is actually a misconception afaik. The months they replaced were already basically "fiveuary" and "sixuary".The numbering got shifted off when they decided January should be the first month; it used to be March. February was the last month, which explains why leap days are added to February.
I found out a few of my friends have never eaten a bunch of classic fruits. Things like mango, pomegranate, kiwi, and even tangerine.
I'm planning a fruit party for everybody to try and then judge different fruits.

If I could find something like AltSnap on Linux I would move like, this week.I know some of the features may already be part of Linux but I use this program pretty extensively and I don't know much about Linux desktops and how they control.
But anyway I'm gonna move to Linux anyway, I have a date in my calendar later this year and my friend is gonna help me switch to it.

I occasionally have really detailed dreams with plots and allegory and everything. Sometimes someone will tell a joke in my dream, and I don't get the joke until I wake up and think about it. My subconscious is sometimes more clever than I am.
Anyway, the best dream I ever had was one of those really detailed ones with a complex plot. I don't remember any of those details, but it was some kind of mystery story where two children are on the run from a detective. It was full of plot twists and complex lies. As the plot unfolded, it seemed like there were some contractions in the narrative. One character says it happened like this, but another character claims the opposite. Typical mystery story stuff.But as the dream went on, these little inconsistencies built up and up until I concluded that a key event in the plot must have happened two different ways at the same time. Irreconcilably, both ways must have been true, but they absolutely contradicted each other. It's not that somebody is lying, there must actually be something wrong in the timeline itself.This is when the dream drops its biggest plot twist: why is it inconsistent? Because it's not real; it's all a dream. And then I woke up.
I know the "it's all a dream" plot twist is usually cheap and stupid, but like, it WAS all a dream. I sat in bed for like 15 minutes just being impressed with how incredible the twist was, and how it was quite impossible for anybody else to experience the same story.
Very obscure 45-minute 1991 anime movie: Christmas in January. Rated extremely low (5.46 / 10) on MAL, it's absolutely one of my favorite movies. It's whimsical and melancholic and so so interesting. Reminds me a lot of the Ghibli movie Ocean Waves, which is also an underrated gem (and, while I'm at it, the Kimagure Orange Road masterpiece sequel movie from the same director as Ocean Waves).
I really love stories that are just miraculous/odd/interesting excerpts of people's lives that are otherwise inconsequential. There was nothing grand or life-changing about the events in the story, but I will never forget the delicate social interplay in the shoe store, or the only scene that actually takes place in January at the very end: just a moment of reflection.
I had assumed they were allophones and always wondered if there was a minimal pair to prove otherwise. It turns out though there is one: tooth (n) vs tooth (v), or tooþ vs tooð.

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.
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.
- The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006 & 2009) - amazing in every way. Every arc is perfect and it's the greatest character study ever in the medium of anime.
- Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (1998) - this one is Hideaki Anno's best work. The same depth of characterization as Eva but without the scifi or action.
- Hibike! Euphonium (first two seasons, 2015 & 2016) - kinda a retelling of Aim for the Ace (1973) in my mind. Really great characterization.
- March comes in like a lion (2016-2017) - another fantastic drama and hits really hard emotionally.
- Nana (2006) - more drama. This one has a great vibe and has a really unique feeling of yearning and incompleteness... Mostly because it's forever incomplete.
