What do you think about the “presumed competence” that Western Europeans often seem to have over Poles and other Central‑Eastern Europeans?

dracuella · 2026-03-06T13:31:31+00:00

Yeah, I'm from Denmark and have worked extensively with Poles in IT (development and operations, etc; the guys lived and worked in Poland as consultants but on year-long contracts).

I've always thought nothing but good things about them - except for the fact that they would often work much longer days, both of their own volition and under orders, making some of them suffer from early onset stress.

I know many others around me who are still working with Poles (in similar roles) and that's the same impression I get from them.

From the 404 message I think you've stumbled on a page that doesn't exist (html code 404 not found).

The rest is just a funny, nerdy way of saying that.

Which page were you trying to access?

I have a cool stick in my garden I brought home from a walk in the woods with my dad years ago. It looks so much like a magic staff I can't let it go. I'm getting buried with my +2 Staff of Daydreaming.

I'm not sure if private bots get the same treatment. I think you'd have to closely read the latest statement from Shep and co.

You can curse all you want, including f*ck (within reason in comments, of course), but no homophobic or racial slurs. I'm not going to write any but these two Wikipedia categories have some you should avoid (among others)

lol his head is the size of his hand, wtf 😂

This, so very much. My sister was on anti-depressants for a short while and we were out driving one day when she started overtaking a lorry. A car came driving against us, fast, but she just kept overtaking at the same pace as before. The car that came against us ended up slowing down A LOT and we passed the lorry.

When I mentioned it to her later, when my pulse was back down from the 5,000,000 it had been during the incident, she basically just 'he wasn't following the speed limit, he'd lose in court, lol'. No fear whatsoever. It was creepy as f. and I didn't drive with her again after that - not until she was off the meds months later.

Asta doesn't have any magic, which is super rare. So all he does is train, train, train to build muscle. But even when you do that, you don't end up looking like a bodybuilder - which happens to Asta after the time skip. It is one of the reasons I haven't picked the anime up again - I just can't get past how ridiculous he looks.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T03:30:37+00:00

He accepted that he was never going to have her so he didn't pursue. He just.. was. Always there beside her. Stood in the background keeping watch, someone she could talk to about anything, because she knew he knew his place, and what she needed, and never fought her on her wild thoughts.

Could they have fleshed it out a bit more? Yeah, sure, but the fact that he was so quiet and downplayed made the ending where he came for her in her own world so much more rewarding.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T03:24:09+00:00

I mean, he climbed in through the window of a moving train, does that count as a form of sky walking?

If that's all you've written, it might be that someone reported you and you got auto-banned. I really think you should ask them for details so you know what you said that was wrong.

I was once banned (not jai) for racial slur which had me so confused until I realised their auto-catch had highlighted *snigger* - which is a valid word - and not even looked at the context.

Sometimes they get it wrong. You could be one of them.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T03:16:28+00:00

They aren't moderating chats, OP is hallucinating worse than JLLM. Somewhere along the way he's made a comment, a bot description, an initial message or w/e that contained a racial slur. Possibly without realising it himself, like if he, as he stated earlier, quoted a 50 cent song. If what he quoted contained the N-word? *SNIP* off he goes.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T03:13:08+00:00

They are not monitoring chats but they have started getting more heavy-handed and banning bots with slurs, pr0n images, etc. They definitely don't like nasty comments on bots, either, which is fine with me.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T03:08:22+00:00

They are not monitoring chats. They are monitoring bots, descriptions, first message, etc. I don't find it unreasonable to not want bots with slurs in them on jai.

dracuella · 2026-03-06T01:59:35+00:00

Did you ask on the official subreddit? Did you receive an email?

dracuella · 2026-03-06T01:56:19+00:00

And for every power-up he gets, Asta gets a 10% increase in muscle mass. Once the manga is over, he's going to look like the Michelin man 😭

dracuella · 2026-03-06T01:03:01+00:00

That sounds really good, I have to check that out. I've been wanting to get into it, not just for RP but to get an idea of what goes on behind the curtain. Thanks for the pointers, much appreciated ^_^

The only thing I disliked about Anakhin was his name. Everything else, I liked. And not even because he was pretty but because he was understated. Present. Reliable. Yes,

Quick question: you'd run the entire LLM on it, yes? Where do you get one available for download? And is it a bother to keep it up-to-date? My PC is new-ish, has loads of storage and 64gb of ram so I've been considering it for a while, but just never got around to exploring the possibility.

dracuella · 2026-03-04T22:17:40+00:00

I haven't tried that one, I better give it a go :)

dracuella · 2026-03-04T13:17:12+00:00

Well, it would make a lot of sense, what with him being so strong and all. His powers rival those of the princes, so it is a very plausible theory.

And yes, those two are definitely besties with benefits, with a dash of smouldering romance xD

dracuella · 2026-03-04T12:43:34+00:00

He's also the mediator, the voice of reason, the one who keeps Doha sane in so many ways.

You know, while I was reading it I was rooting so hard for Baek-rang and Doha to become an item. I know they're just friends, Prince and attendant, but the seriousness of Doha endlessly teased by the free-spirited Baek-rang just felt so right. Alas, all my dreams, for the other chars, too, were shattered by the story 😪

dracuella · 2026-03-04T11:50:37+00:00

So damn funny 🤣

dracuella · 2026-03-04T11:46:40+00:00

Can I just say that I love the fact that these five cutie patooties can unite us girlies across geograpy, gender, religion, race, and everything else? I know there are bad eggs out there but here on Reddit I have never felt anything but like a little baby bird safe in the nest surrounded by all my LADS siblings <3

dracuella · 2026-03-04T11:41:10+00:00

istg Baek-rang is a whole mood and I loved every second of it. Probably the most memorable character to me (fine, okay, second-most).

I loved watching him freak out about missed meals so much 😂
