I’m so out of the loop this season. I’ve only just caught up with Dandadan S2 and My Dress-Up Darling S2 and started with Dr Stone.

Probably CLANNAD, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was SAO S1, god forbid.

Hell yeah, the manga is so fun.

I love the supportiveness of everone

What is the actual context here? I don’t trust what this tweet says

I enjoyed it, but not more than the original. From what I remember, which is not as much as I thought, it became a bit of a slog for me either midway through or towards the end, which didn’t really have a pay off like the first eps of the original did.

Just a note before my comment: my reference is the Netherlands, which is struggling with too much cattle and too little land. I can imagine circumstances being different in Australia.

Methane is a worse greenhous gas than CO2 though (28 times more) and just growing more grass, which gets eaten pretty much immediately again, does not necessarily compensate for it. Tackling methane emissions is also a pretty effective short term improvement for global warming, due to it not being nearly as long in the atmosphere as CO2.

But methane is not the only problem with large amounts of cattle. The shit can actually become problematic in for the soil and water due to ammonia. This is a large problem in The Netherlands right now (and sadly we don’t have politicians in power willing to make actual changes here). Biodiversity and water quality are going down significantly and a very big contributor is cattle farming.

And let’s also not forget that the grass used is for optimizing growing cattle and producing milk (because the farmers get paid like shit). It’s not a grass field full of flowers, herbs and other kinds of plants that are good for insect life. They’re more or less green deserts.

Filler? I skipped forward during the Uron Mirage thing, thinking CR mistakenly uploaded to the wrong anime. Then I saw they didn’t but I didn’t go back to watch it. Seems like I didn’t need to either. 9 minutes was way unnecessary

The catch is that Trump changes his mind somewhere between tomorrow and next week

Great final episode. A very good end of this arc, all things considered. The resurrection medicine was expected, but loved it nonetheless.

This season was great, but hard to follow sometimes due to how much there was to keep up with. It’s been building since season 1 episode 1 after all. Loved it though. Would probably be great on a binge rewatch.

I’m very curious how this continues. The status quo is very different now. Both Xiaolan (poor girl, she deserved to see them off properly!) and Shisui (or Tamamo I suppose) are out of sight, Jinshi is no longer just a pretty eunuch, Gyokuyou is empress (deserved!) and Maomao is back in the pleasure district. I’m sure Jinshi gets her back in the royal affairs somehow, but we’ll see. At the very least, he’ll get cockblocked again next season and I’m all for it.

I don’t think it’s that strange. Both Shisou and Loulan are among the main traitors to the empire that planned to overthrow it and attempted to kill royals. In an ancient empire, they weren’t going to be let alive. The royal guard likely intended to kill in the entire clan, which was also why Loulan poisoned the children to let them die a “peaceful” death (though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the resurrection potion).

the human immune system is just terrible

Or just too adaptable to be highly specific.

they might eventually adapt and be able to live on Earth again.

Yeah! If they could ‘un-adapt’, I don’t see why they couldn’t re-adapt. No idea how much time that’d take though. They’ve been in space for a couple of centuries at this point after all.

Isn’t webview-based still essentially chromium-based?

Is Apple Music the same as iTunes?

This can happen to any store unfortunately. If a publisher withdraws, you’d no longer be able to download it. Qobuz has this too. Some publishers are quite scummy with this and upload a slightly different version, which no longer qualifies as the album you’ve purchased. You need to download it asap after buying.

It is, but I found it strange not seeing it in the actual purchaseable music section

Qobuz also does purchaseable music!

Incompetence might just be the point. Valid or not, it undermines people’s trust in democratic institutes, making it easier for fascists to break it down further.

Not sure tbh, but choosing a more niche instance will at least make your local feed different. Communities in more niche instances might also have less political flow into unrelated posts

It really depends on the instance. The big ones definitely have a lot of politics. More topic-focused instances tend to have less of that.
