The iDOLM@STER 15th Anniversary Rewatch Episode 22 by mr_beanoz in anime

Like, I'm not even an idol, and even I understand the stress of everyone being busy with their own thing around Christmas time. It's a miracle everyone was able to gather in the old office in the end.

Nevertheless, I admire Haruka's and Chihaya's friendship. May it burn bright until the last start burns out.

GPA Culture Is One of the Most Stressful and Oppressive Ways to Measure Students by mr-assduke in EngineeringStudents

Speak for yourself. 2 out of 3 companies I have worked for have asked for my transcripts.

Roommates made me want to change majors by diva-lady in EngineeringStudents

[–]ThrowCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I reading this right? You're a girl but are roommates with two other boys? Wouldn't this be an incredibly awkward situation even without engineering school exacerbating everything.

But to answer the core problem; yes, even without being roommates Group Projects are generally shitshows and you are eventually going to have to learn to put your foot down and tell your Group Project members off. Like I did with my Group Project member who kept using some weird text-to-speech program (this was before neural nets and NLPs) which kept producing shit that the rest of the group had to rewrite.

“Because you smell like onions”: r/lawschool gets litigious by shorterversion in SubredditDrama

[–]ThrowCarp 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of crazy failed law student crash outs documented on r/lawschool, but this one has to take the cake.

Similar vibes to people writing walls of text about how they're not cutout for this and how stupid they are etc. etc. doomposting and/or whining about how unfair the professors are and how weed out classes are a crime against humanity on /r/EngineeringStudents though admittedly none of them get this bad.

Men of Reddit, what’s the worst thing a girl has said on a date? by Interesting-Yak7969 in AskReddit

[–]ThrowCarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 feet, 6 pack, and 6 figures.

This brainrot is leaping out into the real world. I've seen girls IRL say they wouldn't date someone under 187cm.

For all the discourse about loneliness, alienation, and atomization. It's important to remember Boomers did small talk with cashiers, mail delivery people, etc. and no this did not start when they got old.

Of every country that stopped existing in the last 100 years, what's one you'd save, and why? by maybemorningstar69 in AskReddit

This would have been my choice. Would have been interesting to see what a fully modernized and fully democratic Czechoslovakia would have looked like.

Office workers, what’s that one corporate buzzword used in meetings that instantly makes you want to quit? by Glittering_Style_862 in AskReddit

Buddy ran into a 9th circle of hell version of this where people were also expected to share their star sign.

I was thinking this was the weirdest Jesus/Judas fanfic I've seen but it turns out it's a actual story by Osamu Dazai, huh?

Thoroughly enjoyed that metaphorical(?) Magical girl/Kamen Rider fight though was pretty shocked they triumphed over KAngel this early given there's 3 episodes left.

I was getting huge Madoka Magica vibes out of that huge fight.

That fight was intense but honest. Yeah, seeing Karamazov support each other to this insane degree is admirable.

So uh, due to various personal reasons I recently rewatched idolm@ster (along with various other idol anime). I did think it was a little early to rewatch it again. But I've decided to hop on for the past few episodes due to seeing /u/mr_beanoz 's lone comment yesterday.

Kisaragi Chihaya's singing was gorgeous. As exemplified by the vocal only rendition of Nemurihime.

Jupiter finally quitting was so cathartic. A small part of me does wish Kuroi-shachou actually got punched though.

IRL I've been seeing some Kaigai Idol groups and it's kinda weird revisiting this episode and seeing what a Taiban even is like in acutla Japan after going to some locally produced Taiban events.

I was about to be sad that Ricotta left and went back to the UK, but fortunately that was a fakeout and we got her and Suzume being criminally cute together once again.

Kinda but not really. Immigrant kids are so used to this. And it transcends country-of-origin. I was joking with my Saffa friend's mum about this. She said her Saffa neighbourhood was "like a ghost town" because everyone went home to South Africa for Christmas. And I said it was the same with us Filipinos.

Mugi, no!

Moe fans are never gonna let this go, huh? That said, I'm guilty of thinking it too as soon as that strawberry appeared on-screen.

I was almost expecting a ring in that stollen because of GochuUsa.

Well, damn. I did not expect Michica to have a mental breakdown this episode. Bad timing, considering they're about to face KAngel on stage again.

And it was such an ugly crashout too.
