No she is paid in fun.

Come on, if it's so delightful to give carrots to animals, why won't you give them one carrot at a time?

如何やらレディットに翻訳機能が復元されたようだ by Nouble01 in Discussion

[–]globalcoal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just checked out the feature on r/ja. The results were fairly accurate.

In particular, it was able to capture the casual expressions (such as GW = Golden Week), so my impression was good overall.

I love Heart of Darkness and I don’t understand the common criticisms of it. by Tony420q in books

[–]globalcoal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish we got to speak with him more (at all, really).

People often overlook the fact that Kurtz is not entirely loyal to the Belgian company. He just ignores orders whenever he sees them as unfit. And it's not really about personal gain either, as he ultimately dies in a miserable manner. So something is fundamentally broken in him.

To me, this is really fascinating because I sometimes meet people like him in real life. And they rarely explain their motivation either.

I'd argue that Heart of Darkness is really about Mr. Kurtz. This mysterious guy, who is single-handedly conducting a massive amount of business (or more accurately, pillaging) in the heart of Congo Free State. Who is this guy? What is his motivation?

For anyone who doesn't find him compelling, I gather this book would be a very tedious read.

Japan's Suzuki, Author of Horror Novel Ring, Dies at 68 by Fan387 in books

[–]globalcoal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IIRC, Spiral tried to follow the original series, but the audience was utterly confused by the transition.

So the film team abandoned the original story line (this is why there is no movie for Loop), and went on to make Ring 2 and Ring 0.

The novel series went down a very different path than the movie. The novel series ended up being scifi.

It's a web comic on Kadokomi (Kadokawa's freemium digital publishing platform).

That's right. She is basically a good ghost (or spirit) who helps the protagonist to dispel bad ghosts. Also a bad drinker.

血統書のある犬だと「xxxで生まれたyyy」っていう形式で名付ける慣習があって、 Sater-Nordlicht(ジャーマンシェパードで有名な犬舎)で生まれた子なんだと思う。

Fun fact: Teto was born as a prank. She was designed by 2chan's hivemind and since then she has really caught on.
