no way anyone new is getting into this… shit’s been going for over 30 years now, since 1994.
That’s 1140 chapters across 101+ manga volumes… That’s insanity.
I said that, as I then read it’s only the 21st longest running manga series… there are 20 others manga series longer than 100 volumes… nah…
Eating bugs is an irrational fiction. It doesn’t even make sense even from a dystopian capitalist standpoint. Don’t worry, we won’t be eating bugs, just more soy and beans.
oh damn, are you guys all just me in alternate realities? Is this thread the rift linking all of us together? Also, 40s, also unmedicated, also aimless and depressive.
A new low I didn’t know was possible.
Just healthy freedom and democracy things. The FBI, Jim Jordan and the GOP by extension aren’t controlled at all. Just a whimsical coinkydink
We will be.
Dead puppies aren’t much fun.
I am so confused on their thought process. Like, I understand making mistakes, wrong operations, misunderstanding the question… but where did their numbers even come from?
1.32 + 1.42?
Where did the 1.42 come from?
And 43.80? Where is that from? Is it from the 42? Then where did the additional 1.80 come from?
But, y tho?
About the only song with Miku in it that I can stand to hear.
I love my cats, but they never go outside. Because I also love the birds.
Learning to read was a mistake. What a terrible day for comprehension.
OH DANG, so you mean to say, when I clocked it around 33% were poor and needed a job I was almost spot on with a study you found… crazy…
it’s almost like… My lived experience means that I probably know wtf I’m talking about vs some terminally online, privileged, teenagers.
You can be mad, you can downvote me in protest… but… you see the numbers, right? The same numbers I’ve just shown and you just linked to… You can’t downvote the facts and numbers. And the fact is, that you have a bias, a privilege, that blinds you. That tells you it’s justifiable to punch down at millions of people (active and veteran) who are victims of the same shitty system of opportunistic capitalism.
I’m not making excuses for the military as a whole, or its actions. But I’m not going to lump the cook as the same kind of monster as the general. And again, you’re a crazy person if you do.

Most people do have other choices than the military
THIS, is your privilege showing.
This is your normalized worldview because, to you, you had other options. Most people do, right? Meanwhile ignoring the minority of hundreds millions…
What percent of households make less than $30k net?
23.5% of 350milllion people. Actually, lets be fair here and only use that adult populate of 205.7million and round it down
23.5% of 200million?
47million people a struggling.
How many of them do you think have better options?
Most of them, right? Lets say 95% of them have better options, so, of 5% of 47million?
That’s 2.35 million people that don’t have better options…
what’s the size of the US active duty military?
US has 1.33 million active duty military… Obviously, not everyone in the military is some empoverished slave. The gungho yipee types do exist too.
But, just guess, what ratio do you think of those two types of people exist in 1.33 million? I’ll do you a solid, I’ll say that the gunghos outweigh 2:1…
That’s ~400,000 people who were poor, likely with no other options.
NONE of this excuses the actions of the American imperalist military. This is the system working as intended. Keep the people poor, and dangle socialism through military service.
If you didn’t have to choose between military and homeless, or Amazon and homeless… if you had other options, I’m happy for you, I am, really. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity and luck to do something else… but you’re using that privilege to punch down by ignoring the millions who didn’t have your opportunities.
what dignity? it’s fucking Pete Hegseth. The man is literally every Disney highschool bully stereotype wrapped in the body of an insecure manosphere grifter.
There is no better representation of an incredibly weak man trying to bully others into thinking he’s strong. That’s his whole schtick. So I ask again, what fucking dignity?
tbf, both of those tasks could be accomplished with prestidigitation; which is also a cantrip spell.
