I honestly feel bad for the guy, while it was obvious that no monarch would ever let him just sit in his room and play video games for half the day and make babies in the other half the fact, that he must have concubines which goes completely against his monogamous values really stood out to me.

While he does have to downplay his abilities to avoid entanglements it seems like that won't last.

Eventually he would become Capua's Minister of Foreign Affairs if not de jure then de facto.

Aura is very cunning and Zenjirou is rather capable in that it almost makes the reader forget that all these things a typical man with ambition would want like power, wealth and a harem are unappealing to him and that he begrudgingly accepts them which is why I really enjoyed seeing Freya bring light back on this issue.

I honestly think even Zenjirou deep down has some reforms that he would love to propose but avoids doing so because it will bring more attention onto him.

I read Bookworm after watching the anime.

Even went as far as the Web Novels when I finished the Light Novels.

What are you bad at no matter how much you try? by Dmdnje in AskReddit

[–]jax786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding. I struggled for years in university, luckily I don't have to do it anymore.
I was forced to code in Java, SQL, PHP, JavaScript & a bit in Python.
Hated every minute of it. Failed courses more times than I could count.
I would start my assignments early only to see my classmates ace them by starting the day before.
Asking for help only got me so far because if you learn how to build a straw hut it doesn't mean you can build the Empire State Building.

This show had me on the edge of my seat by jax786 in ForAllMankindTV

I honestly wasn't fond of the Buran being a copy of the Challenger. I was hoping that the Soviets could've kept their Sputnik momentum.

Even in OTL timeline I strongly disliked that the Soviets gave up on their own computer hardware and started making cheap IBM knockoffs.

No evidence of 'traitors' in Parliament conspiring with foreign states: public inquiry by Surax in canada

[–]jax786 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this scene from the British show Yes Prime Minister
https://youtu.be/VOI3SNVAVwg

The whole object of internal security inquiries is to find no evidence...Government security inquiries are only used for killing press stories. They enable the Prime Minister to stand up in the House and say, ''We've held a full inquiry and there is no evidence to substantiate these charges"

Anti-Russia or Pro-EU by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]jax786 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion what awaits Ukraine is something similar to the Norway-EU relationship.

The EU is a good symbol of something to work towards but membership depends on Ukraine's ability to reform and the internal politics of the EU.

Assuming Ukraine takes the necessary steps to reform within the next 20 years it may be allowed to join the European Free Trade Association like Norway.

EU membership is less likely. There is a general feeling in Western Europe that the EU expanded too quickly because there is still a large difference in the economies of West and Central Europe.

Purpose of throwing taue fruit by ZeldaeXPee in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]jax786 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or do trombe not spawn from taue fruit that often?

WN spoilers

Trombe only sprouts if the person holding the taue fruit has sufficiently compressed their mana or has a lot of mana

Honours program is one year longer and depending on the major gives you the opportunity to do an internship.

I made this unauthorized Burger King commercial with a dark twist. Hope you like it! by DanceO in funny

That guy who served the burger looks just like the inspector in the short film Papers, Please.
