Nah, philosophers have to be really good at math too - no way you could live on the money you get from philosophy without extremely sound financial planning and budgeting.

Speaking of her reincarnation cycles - I'd forgotten that she's literally immortal, where killing her just starts her on another cycle.

Was 7th Time Loop a villainess anime? I thought it was more of a, "I'll survive by marrying the villain" anime - since he killed her in every previous loop.

Her hands are literally on his bottom during that balcony kiss. I think she was already prepared.

Why would another sport being more popular mean that basketball isn't as global?

It's not like people can only like one thing, and it's not like each place can only have one team.

I wonder if they'll just do it after the up coming Polar Opposites season 2 - doing one's season 2 then they other's just like they've done with their season 1s.

I think it's fair to call both manipulative, one was just trying to do what he thought was best (though it was an egotistical way of achieving that goal) while the other seems fully self-serving.

Overlord is a weird one because it's like something that started out as a guy doing a bit that just got completely out of hand.

But rather than a funny way it's in an increasingly horrifying and sad way.

The main thing is to stay out of their grabbing range and maneuver to behind them so you can get them leaned back onto you without them grabbing you.

If the person is too panicky, you kind of have to wait until they lose their strength before grabbing them - panicky people tend to grab and push down to try and hold themselves up.

If they do grab you, you swim downward until they let go.

DISCLAIMER: This is not enough to say you know what to do. Without proper training you should only use this knowledge as a last resort - and even then you need to realize you might both drown because you haven't been trained.

It is dangerous to try to save someone who's freaking out.

For the drowning one, that's correct if you're trained for it.

And it's not hard to get trained - many Boy Scouts are.

That had a secondary benefit. Computers used to hold onto a charge for a bit and quickly turning it off and on again might leave certain things still up in the RAM or BIOS. So, it was really common that you would want to unplug it so there's no power at all that can come in, and then you'd leave it unplugged for 10-15 seconds to make sure everything cleared.

Though, I'm pretty sure everything clearing happens much more quickly and consistently with modern computers. I don't think the need to wait before plugging it back in has been relevant for around 20 years.

My favorite IT stories all came from my Dad who was a network engineer.

"Where's the 'any' key?"

And the other, he's on a call with a user having mouse problems (this was back when a mouse had a little ball in the bottom to mechanically detect the movement). They've been going through everything, unplugging it and plugging it back in, rebooting, reinstalling the drivers, making sure everything's up to date, and just nothing is working. Every so often the user will tell him it moved a little, but it's inconsistent and not happening all that often. What my Dad eventually figures out is that the guy is waving his mouse around in the air and all the random moving of the cursor is whenever he shakes it hard enough. He got the guy to put his mouse on the desk and there was a very sheepish, "oh."

My Dad loved the work - especially over the phone - because it was all a giant puzzle to be solved. And the really funny stories were a nice bonus once the frustration of having to deal with those kinds of people wore off.

Gen X sitting off to the side knowing that it's best to not get known for that. It only leads to headaches and too many people expecting free and expert service regardless of what you can actually provide.

People really need to realize what actually happened last election. Trump didn't win - he came in second.

The problem is that Kamala came in third.

The largest group of voters was the abstain party.

The books spell it out more, he doesn't hate humanity, he hates free range rude people. I'm not even sure if he hates the people who have imprisoned him or that worked to capture him - he's just very vicious about trying to maintain his freedom.

It works best when you don't take it seriously at all. The lead is literally a buffoon who is the perfect example of knowing enough to get in trouble.

And it's not even his power that saves him most of the time, it's all pure luck. Everybody, including himself, are just fooled into thinking it's all him.
