...so the (racist af) Tsukimichi series/manga/webnovel has this Demon race, right? Whole isekai happens because they instigate a war against the h(y)umans outta nowhere and the Goddess needs a hero.

spoiler
Well~ turns out these mofos had it comin'... and so does the Goddess. 🤷🏿‍♂️

it only sorta works for this post since the main character is quite indifferent to the ~~conflict~~ war for quite awhile
interestingly, the story primes you up for that reveal with a precursor villain of sorts

spoiler
Lime and his cohort are quite villainous until you learn what brought that fate upon the Rembrandt family 😐

was there a reasonable alternative?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

the method was the problem as far as i'm concerned
not that i saw enough episodes pre-timeskip to have a strong opinion, though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

something something "From my perspective the Jedi are evil."
something something "You were supposed to bring balance to the force, not destroy it."

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]
Spoilers for Berserk’s Golden Age Arc, Tsukimichi episode 11, and Attack on Titan season 4 episode 4.

A rectangular image bearing three characters on the bottom and a white title over a black background on the top. The title reads: The "he had no choice" starter pack.

The characters are, from left to right...

  1. Femto (aka: Griffith) from the anime Berserk stands ominously with head tilted partially down and eyes forward to the audience. He bears a purple skin-tight bird-like armor that only reveals his eyes and mouth areas respectively. Behind him are monstrous creatures bearing large teeth and eyes.

  2. Makoto from the anime Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy walks forward with dead eyes directed at the audience. His hair is black and neck-length with bangs reaching just past his eyelids while the center one passes his eyes completely. His expression is cold with unknown intention. He wears blue dapper buttoned-up clothes of a merchant. All around him is darkness and a strange mist.

  3. Eren from the anime Attack on Titan stands in front of an orange brick building while staring forward at the audience with a look of conviction. His left eye and forehead are covered with bandages while his dark brown neck-length hair covers half of that side of his face and flows far past his right eye, which is mostly visible. He wears a tan colored top of some sort.

All three characters either already have done something evil, have already decided to, or both.

Is this classism? (media.kbin.social)

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]
Is this a pigeon? meme adapted to typical claims of "classism".

A young man stands in the bottom left with a book tucked in his left hand and his right up and forward gestures at a yellow butterfly that flies a foot in front of his face and slightly above.
Placed over the young man's face is the text "racists, sexists, antisemites, xenophobes, etc." rotated at -11.86°.
Placed over the butterfly is the text "any 'ism that they'd rather not acknowledge".
The bottom text reads "Is this classism?" with the last word clearly placed over whatever was there before.

Anakin Padme 4 Panel meme (aka: For the Better, Right?) created from the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Both are sitting in a field of grass with a few flowers throughout. Each panel has their face occupy more of the space than the previous. Starting from the top left to bottom right...
Top Left Box: Anakin, a Jedi, squints to his left at Padmé, the love of his life, and says "We need to make sure they never rise against us"
Top Right Box: Padmé, the Senator of planet Naboo, smiles gleefully at Anakin and says "By healing old wounds, right?"
Bottom Left Box: Anakin, looking at Padmé arguably pleased or humoured with his hint of a smile, not saying anything at all.
Bottom Right Box: Padmé, looking at Anakin somewhat concerned, says "Right?"

If you Afro, feel free to criticize the meme. If you ain't, I don't wanna hear it. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Suddenly, Rebecca 😭 (media.kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]
A text messenger imitation displaying txts between two people. From top to bottom...
1st txt (sender): "hey"
2nd txt (receiver): "what's up?"
3rd txt (sender): "i've got the day off 😏 [smirk emoji]"
4th txt (receiver): "oh? 👀 [eyes emoji]"
5th txt (sender): "yeah"
6th txt (receiver): "so what do you wanna do? 🍑 [peach emoji]"
Bottom right: Image with 5% opacity of Rebecca (from Cyperbunk: Edgerunners series) in "Crying Amogus Eyes Rebecca" form.

The color scheme is based on Rebecca's colors from the above illustration. From top to bottom...
Background color: Light Cyan.
Sent txt box color: Medium Aquamarine.
Received txt box color: Chestnut.
Bottom box's "Type a message..." text color: Charcoal.
Bottom box's color: Onyx.
[END OF IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

Context & Explanation: The txt exchange is implying segs. The 6th txt is an unintended chorus lyric of the song "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" by Rosa Walton & Hallie Coggins, which was heard during key (emotional) moments of the series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and arguably sung in part by Rebecca herself (to put it simply). Even without the fancanon, the lyric would be a gut punch of a reminder of a tragedy within the series, hence the transparent image of Rebecca crying as a stand in for the person who received the 6th txt.
Thank you for coming to my meme talk.

  1. A tall pair of Ocean Boat Blue & White colored boots with slightly taller rainbow colored socks sticking out.
  2. A slightly pleated White colored mini skirt with a wide Sky Magenta colored vertical stripe down the middle and black underskirt shorts sticking out by maybe 4".
  3. An open zippered Ocean Boat Blue colored short-sleeved jacket with a non-folded collar.

Context:
Found myself experiencing a ton of gender envy yesterday while referencing this image of Rainbow Dash for something. Almost got intense. So of course I decided to spend hours making a meme about it. 📝🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️

 
 

When are you gonna start living?

 

I just wanted to know if anybody knows of specific kitchen utensil brands that're actually worth buying long-term. Or atleast which ones should be avoided.

I've wasted time checking reviews for various sets and always find concerning ones between the positives.
I really just need a Spoon, Slotted Spoon, (Flexible) Spatula, and Kitchen Tongs.
A Deep Soup Ladle, Whisk, and Pasta Server would just be convenient.
I don't expect a set to have a solid cheese grater, so I'll be buying that separately by default.

Preferences:
I'm trying to avoid exposed metal on the head of the utensils since I'd worry about scratching my pots and pans. Other than that, I've got no preference beyond "non putting toxins or its broken off material in my food". 🤷🏿‍♂️

If this post doesn't work out, I'll just start checking reviews for specific utensils. 😑

 

I plan to buy my first split keyboard (forever) very soon and would like to hear y'all's opinions on the Glove80 (switch: Kailh Choc v1 Brown Tactile) and Moonlander (switch: Kailh Copper or Cherry MX Brown) two. I've already searched for threads and comments on the matter a few days ago through kbin, so any links to them you provide would probably be for others reading after the fact, which is fine.

I'm very interested in the Glove80's keywelling, but can settle for the Moonlander's sculpted blank keys if people think I'd enjoy the latter more. It'd be staying on my desk indefinitely regardless of which one I buy, but keep in mind that I use my keyboard for a bare minimum of 40hrs a week. >.>
Feel free to comment on the switches, btw. 👀

Current Keyboard: Aula BE FIRE SI-859 Wired Gaming Keyboard. Been using for 8yrs now and would like a quieter one since I've been told I'm a loud typer, but can settle for switches that have the same volume. I just like typing on this not quite mechanical mechanical-ass keyboard. 😅
Hands: ~7.25" long from edge of palm to tip of middle finger.

edit: Should clarify that I use Logitech's G600 and enjoy the 16(?) side buttons, especially with the customizable profiles.

edit2: I'm leaning towards the Moonlander for keyswitch reasons and would really like switch opinions. I've got no experience with switches, btw. Just regular keyboards and my Aula.
