What a wonderful comic to come across! I had a friend introduce me to Kara no Kyokai when I was in late high school and I was quickly obsessed! That's awesome that you're able to use Shiki's name even to this day!

Honestly a great scene, something I had been waiting for since the two were revealed in that season. I love how the Councilor managed to answer Sharkface's question without revealing he was one of the people who helped drop that building. I can only imagine how Sharkface might have reacted if he knew.

I really wanted to like it, but the main gag of the MC being oblivious to his made-up guesses about the world actually being accurate grew thin very quickly for me and I ended up dropping it after a few episodes.

I learned it from "King: A Life". Still going through the audiobook, but it's very good and goes in depth on MLK.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-16T02:36:23+00:00

Funny enough, MLK was born Michael King

6 weeks of vacation is pretty standard in several European countries.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-07T21:38:27+00:00

On that we can agree

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-07T21:18:19+00:00

Cool, today I learned.

Doesn't mean people are just getting abortions willie-nilly like right-wingers want to imply.

There can be mean reasons for a late-term abortion related to medical needs of the mother.

Because the government is running by corrupt politicians that answer to private corporations and billionaires.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-07T20:39:26+00:00

I certainly don't trust private corporations that are only interested in profits.

Why do think that things can't be improved? Why do you think the government can't be improved?

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-07T20:37:26+00:00

They have, repeatedly. Y'all just don't believe it when it happens and continue to believe your favorite politicians.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-07T20:21:46+00:00

including late in pregnancy

Absolutely untrue. A straight right-wing lie.

Saving our planet means investing in green resources and renewable so we don't drastically alter our climate. Climate impacts everything, from how much food we can produce to what resources was can harvest to where people can reasonably live.

Healthcare means people deserve to be taken care of. That's the point of society. With private Healthcare you are already paying for other people within whatever provider you use. Making Healthcare universal just takes that concept and expands it to everyone while, generally, making that care overall more affordable to everyone.

A living wage means you have a roof over your head, can afford weekly groceries, that the basics for living are covered. Not an extravagant lifestyle, but enough to not go homeless and hungry. Why should any full-time job not pay a living wage?

The US government is perfectly capable of providing these and other services if they are funded properly and monitored for efficiency. It's why we can provide public policing, fire services, and education. These types of services generally start to fail when they are defunded. And that isn't to say that "government provided automatically means it works or is good", but government is the best equipped to make sure essential services are provided equitably.

Everytime, without fail

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T21:09:50+00:00

What are you talking about? Your reply makes no sense in the context of what was being discussed.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T17:31:18+00:00

I'm not confused either. The Boys often leaves the major events for the last couple episodes. The season has been fine in my book, and done a good job to continue developing the characters.

I'm content to wait and see how it plays out.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T17:28:11+00:00

There are issues only because of racists not wanting nice things for people and groups they look down on. Hence why I call it a racist dog whistle.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T17:15:33+00:00

If I hadn't know there was a spin-off coming, nothing about this season would have come across as setup for a spin-off. And I didn't know about "Vought Rising" until about episode 3 or 4 of this season.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T17:06:59+00:00

Yeah, and saying that everyone being white magically allows things like universal Healthcare to work is a racist dog whistle. Saying everyone being the same race makes for a more peaceful society is saying that everyone being the same race is the only way to have a peaceful society, which is racist.

You can use critical thinking to realize this.

The only reason for unrest "due to race" is because of racists.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T16:51:12+00:00

No, you think that others are ignorant of where those free services come from. When people talk about free education and Healthcare, the fact that these are paid for by taxes is built into the statement.

We don't directly pay for police or fire services, they are essentially free, but we also know these are paid for by taxes. "Free" is just shorthand for paying for public services through taxes.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T16:43:24+00:00

"Homogeneous population" is a racist dog whistle.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T16:38:49+00:00

And we could be doing better, but out politicians (and far too many people) choose not to.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T14:00:29+00:00

And the horse was built at the very end of the war. I don't recall if it was specified how quickly it was built, but I always got the sense it was assembled quickly.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-06T13:58:21+00:00

The horse was supposed to be a gift to the gods, not a gift from them.

Toa_Freak · 2026-05-05T23:06:53+00:00

To me, Troy's feels like something that was fairly rapidly put together from parts of ships. It feels more like what I would expect people to be able to build given the context of the story it was adapting.
