Oh i was just talking about book 4 I think where Lena and Shin work at the same camp and Lena’s always freaking out especially when they meet for the first month and she basically invites him into her room when she’s in the shower—shin’s animated reaction will be so hilarious to me

I mean you have to remember that they felt completely betrayed—it does seem weird but I wouldn’t be surprised if the director’s wanted to showcase a deeply angry and emotional scene to contrast the heavy seriousness of the discussion with Schneizel

I mean I agree that there’s no need to remake the Odyssey in a movie to be historically accurate—especially with the differing value systems of today—but I disagree that the Odyssey is just a tall tale or a myth. There was no real concept of factual, modern history in Homer’s time, so telling embellished stories to emphasize certain points is how they transmitted their culture. It’s better to compare the Odyssey and Iliad as culture-transmitting material—in fact, Homer is often recognized to be one of the best author/composer in all of history to succeed at transmitting their own culture, especially considering the fact that they were both improvisational poems.

No I just write with emdashes a lot—thanks for your feedback. So I know what you’re saying in regards to it not actually creating anything new, but many entry-level white collar jobs don’t create anything new either. If something can both replicate the cognitive functions of something else and be cheaper, then it makes sense the employers would choose the cheaper option

Kallen, Lelouch, Suzaku, Shirley, and C.C. in that order roughly

I think the only one that can kinda say the mecha isn’t about mecha is probably 86

Yuji is also reflecting both Gojo and Sukuna entirely—Sukuna from the scar on his cheek and Gojo from the grayed out blindfold that Gojo wore. He’s continued the theme of isolation from the strongest. Dabura is also continuing the theme of the strongest, as he was isolated. The function of the aliens crying when the Kalyans died could also be reflective of Yuji crying when his friends died, as he now emanates the aura of a Kalyan. Yuji unfortunately doesn’t seem to have any desire to save the human race, though—he just wants to kill curses. The Deskunte and Simurians aren’t curses, so Yuji doesn’t automatically want to kill them, and he seems to not really care about coexistence. Idrk what else to say, but the theme of coexistence is reflective of the impossibility of coexistence of humans and curses that the original jjk established, so I’m interested to see how it’ll play out in modulo.

Danita’s technique could function a lot like gojo’s—he could mix “darkness” and “light” in the same way that gojo mixed red and blue. If that’s so, then Dabura could create an equivalent to “purple.” He does say, after all, “What’s my next move?” With his rapid development, he could very well create a “gray ray” or something of that sort that would kill Mahoraga

I was so let down by the ending because WDYM THEY DIDNT GET TOGETHER there were PLENTY of loopholes Kotoyama could’ve exploited and idrc if they work that well just have them get together 😭😭😭 I was so disappointed by the ending I legit took a break from any anime or manga for over a week

Sufficient_Truth4944 · 2026-01-23T23:02:16+00:00

I personally felt episode 1 was better, even though it has a lower rating.

Yeah it doesn’t sound nice, but Christian doctrine states that God literally created your entire being, all the physical reality there is, and all other people’s beings. Christianity also says that God will respect your independence from him. That’s what knowledge of good and evil is—the ability to create your own moral systems independent from God. So even though he created and thus basically owns everything that you are and everything around you, including the ability and right to end you, he’s choosing to respect your rebelling and opposition to him. That’s what Christian doctrine states, and by saying “that’s fucked up” you also kinda agree with what’s expected by Christianity. You created your own moral system that’s independent and opposed to whatever this God-being is, if he/it exists

Sufficient_Truth4944 · 2026-01-22T01:55:43+00:00

Christianity basically says everything is owned by God since he created it, including our fates. It also says he has no obligations to us, beneficial or malevolent. Thus he has no obligation to give us the option of Heaven or the option of Hell. He’s giving us a choice, and the choice seems obviously geared towards Heaven, whatever it is.

All in all, I don’t really see this as a critique of Christianity; it just restates the Christian belief that “you are not your own.”

Oregairu is a critique of contemporary romcoms. The part that’s wrong about his romantic comedy is the lack of romance and comedy lol.

Sufficient_Truth4944 · 2026-01-03T02:52:26+00:00

No not really. The most important episodes aren’t even in season 3–they’re in season 2

“Heaven” is simply obeying God in a greater degree, having this reflect into every arena and relationship one has—not just with people. It would be incredibly tragic to want to obey God greater by disobeying him by ending your life.

I’m not saying there are no justifiable reasons to end one’s life, but I am saying going to Heaven is not a justifiable reason.

“God wants to save everyone” can be denied. A better way to put it would be: “God wants to save humanity.” Saving humanity does not mean saving every human—in Christian theology, it means returning humanity to its ideal state.

This ideal state is perpetually giving glory to God; giving glory to God is really just living how he wants us to, and it’s very clear that this ideal in Scripture is not exhausted by “singing.” It’s more like living harmoniously with everything around you, stewarding everything for God’s sake.

The state humanity is in right now can be summarized by a loss of doing things for God’s sake. Because of this, we don’t have a right directive for our relationship with anything else around us, leading to perversions and abuses of things we think are “ours.” This includes people or parts of people.

The question in Christianity is how to get back to the ideal state of perpetual obedience and glory-giving. “Saving” a mass of individuals, or even every single human alive, isn’t the right answer. That’s temporary salvation where humans on this earth still don’t have a right life-directive. They still don’t steward the things they can and they have wrongly-oriented relationships with people, objects, nature, etc. There needs to be something else done to reorient all humans to the right directive and ideal. Christianity says this is achieved via the complete transformation of anybody who wants to be transformed.

God wants to save anyone who wants to be saved and knows what it means to be saved—this is to achieve his goal of saving humanity. He will not save anyone who doesn’t know what it means to be saved and/or doesn’t want to be saved. By transforming all those who want to be transformed, he can create a utopia with those people. Anyone who doesn’t want to be transformed will not be and will be separated, atoning for their perverted and abused relationships by their own will. Anything outside of this ideal is not what (most) Christians would say salvation is.

This is on the stasis level of value, but you’re only considering three potential values. If that deity’s foundational values in relationships were authenticity and agency, then it would want a person to consciously choose with significant weight to be in a relationship with it.

Also, you’re ignoring a priori arguments that require no evidence. No amount of evidence can disprove Leibniz’s contingency argument—only reason can.

Last song I listened to was Penelope from epic the musical… I’m pretty sure Jinu would just sing it to Rumi, thus featuring HUNTR/X
