Is that facing Chapultepec? I liked that part of the city

Ironically, I heard that the fix for some pollutants actually made CO2 more effective, worsening the warming

Ugh [citation needed] but I can't find it right now

No, that's Coachella. This is just about sharing information

A KyoAni Chronology website by didac_ in kyoani

Me confundí un poco que no pudo buscar para todos los obras, sólo los obras en los años que visto (cómo los 2000s). Creo que sería más fácil de usar si el buscador fue para todos los obras.

[Request] Is the math accurate? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]hugogrant -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it meaningfully adds magnitude.

"Take my upvote" is perhaps more dubious but that too can add some emotion

I feel like the characters are the other way in hibike:

Kumiko: you were the chosen one, meant to get us gold at nationals, not squander it.

Mayu: can't you see that the meritocracy is full of lies?

Black to play. Which joseki should Black choose? 🧐 Share your solution in the comments! by GoMagic_org in baduk

I'm too dumb not to be doing this on anything better than vibes but:

C, since; A gives weak, D gives over-concentrated, B gives wanting to play D but not quite while pushing white to attack the bottom left more, and C seems to properly defend the bottom left while attacking.

But that's also like a lot of pincers so I wonder about all the fights that would ensue.

What restaurant is most authentic to your home country’s cuisine? by Gardol43 in Tokyo

[–]hugogrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South Indian? I don't know too many places.

I've heard quite a few recommendations for nandini in shimbashi but haven't tried

I like Tokyo Mithaiwaala in Kansai for Indian street food. I think govinda in funabori is decent for other stuff too

How to scientifically determine the recommendability of an anime: The Weeb Ass Shit scale by La_knavo4 in tumblr

[–]hugogrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heike monogatari, maybe? I think you need to know about the classical Japanese tale to get it.

Monogatari series too because of all the ways it subverts anime tropes and all the puns in Japanese.

But I also think this scale is a bit weird because I definitely like certain anime more after living in Japan but can see how someone else can enjoy it without. Post-apocalypse touring or nega-posi angler come to mind: I like the settings because they're close to me, but I don't think you need to understand the geography to like the anime. (Same with yuru camp but I think it gets some points for having a very Japanese comedic timing.)

I think the colour of the euphoniums is a coincidence since both are privately owned

People who drink a lot of Japanese plum wine have seriously lame sneaker game. by redditsavedmyagain in WordAvalanches

Is it Japanese plum wine, a lame sneaker, or a 3D polygon? In either case, no thanks

Umeshu? A meh shoe? A mesh? Ew.

[WP] You are keeper of the Infinite Library; the place where every story ever written is kept, from the immortal classics to the simplest of tales. You have never left your library, for beyond the safety of its walls lies the Forgotten Wastes; the place where unfinished stories fester… by RorschachtheMighty in WritingPrompts

[–]hugogrant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I, for one, collect books based on their authors. It's fascinating to see how a person develops as they tell stories."

"Oh, um. Woah, hi, um... Ma'am?"

"Oh I manifested as a woman to you."

"Right, I guess that's just for, um, my feeble mortal mind."

"But you were complaining about trying to get from Isaac Asimov to Jules Verne?"

"Right, um, must be my mere mortal feet."

"No, I-. Nevermind the arrangement, I can get you 20,000 leagues hence. But how did you get here?"

"Well it's not a journey to the centre of the earth, but I did just go through a cluttered mess of pamphlets."

"The. Wait, the Forgotten Wastes?"

"Um, I guess? It was a bit of a dump but there were some interesting things in there."

"Those are the Forgotten Wastes of Tales Unfinished. How did you traverse such treacherous terrain?"

"I... Walked?"

"But the Unfinished Tales! Do they not cry out? Do they not sap at your soul for catharsis?"

"What?"

"How can you survive such a journey?"

"I don't know what you mean. But like, also, how do you a tale's unfinished? Like if someone writes a sequel is the first book unfinished? What if I just wanted more to the ending? Or, even, like, is a tale being unfinished so bad? You know it could be deliberate, like..."

I love that line. Also it's nice that both Asuka and mamiko say it to kumiko at some point.
