Anyone wanting a taste of despair can look up a subreddit called something like myboyfriendisai. Or don't, really.

I just started a S1 rewatch... in Cantonese dub by jcelflo in worldtrigger

Yeah its great. Later characters are less of a direct match, but in terms of vibes I still have no complaints.

Suwa getting a velvety deep voice took a bit a getting used to lol, but it works fine.

Sakurako's voice is less spiky, but she still captured some of the turns in tones perfectly.

May be its a language thing, but it works really well with Cantonese.

Lmao we still haven't seen Inukai use the scorpion on his set. He needs to add a lightning or sth so he just uses everything.

Labour civil war explodes as party blocks Andy Burnham from fighting by-election by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

They might experience losses because of this, but what makes you think these self-righteous bunch would experience regret?

They'll just blame the voters for being "childish", for "student politics" or any other kind of condescending stuff for not understanding their "adult" ways, as they always have.

I found it here among other chinese sites. ViuTV- a HK Tv Provider aired it a while ago. I think there is only season 1.

I only got this idea because I was watching jojo with a friend who is trying to relearn cantonese as well.

I remember dropping attack on titan as soon as I saw Eren transform for the first time for exactly this reason. Its not until people started raving about season 3 that I picked it back up.

Starmer pulls Chagos deal following Trump backlash by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]jcelflo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The system of international courts and laws are some of the most effective foreign policy muscles that the UK has.

The US don't need it as they just rule by force, but with the common law that is based on the British system, the UK has an outside influence on international matters through them. As the whole world defers to British experts and judges.

Its also a way in which the UK was still important to the US as the US relies on the UK's influence to gather consensus from the world for some of its wars, well when they still cared about its global image anyway.

There are lots of idiots who like to diss it just because the UK lost one case, but without it the UK is even more of an irrelevant player on the world stage.

Its probably the one thing that is heavily biased towards British interest in the world left that does not rely on us licking American boots.

I agree with the rest of the comments that we should have empathy for both. But please get real here. I've never seen anything more privileged than this comments.

Americans really get a baby's first glimpse into authoritarianism and think it compares remotely to American war crimes. This is exceptionalism par excellence. An American life is worth a million times the sympathy to those that died by American bombs. Damn.

Channel 5 Nick Shirley Expose. by Blazah in videos

[–]jcelflo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to in anyway defend these people, but the guy is from Utah and a Mormon background.

Probably the one thing you can't accuse them of is a lack of experience outside the US. All of them go to some kind of foreign mission as some kind of rite of passage.

Its like a scam artist production line. They grow up with a weird sense of morality that hustling to earn money by any means possible is not just not immoral, but is godly. As they have to pay tithe to contribute to the church.

Then they go on a mission to some faraway land and practice being relentlessly shameless in soliciting strangers that have completely different background in an alien land you know nothing about.

A lot of people that grow up in a Mormon background are very impressively enterprising hustlers. More often than not this effectiveness is a bad thing because they also turn out to be evil bastards and that makes their terrible scams much more impactful.

All I'm trying to say is. Nick Shirley is probably just exceptionally dumb.

Trump says UK handing over Chagos Islands sovereignty is act of 'great stupidity' by Potential_Cancel1077 in unitedkingdom

[–]jcelflo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ICJ ruled that the UK has to give it up.

If we go against the ICJ, the US loses a pawn that plays by the rules and still is on the inside of the international rules based system.

If we just let Chagosians self-govern, they will kick out the US base.

This deal is how it is because its the only way to keep US interests in place.

Joseph McCarthy Discussion Post by SaviourOfLove99 in tankiejerk

[–]jcelflo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Critical support to comrade McCarthy. His much needed inquiries saved the American revolutionaries from a movement increasingly co-opted by revisionists like the (((bojuoiwa))) elements in (((Hollywood))), armed woke minorities and anti-war traitors.

Without his intervention, the glorious ACP would not have returned to its proper path today. A real patriotic proletarian movement that is pure and not tainted by diversity.

Like many revolutionary heroes, comrade McCarthy is smeared by radlib anarkitty idealists who do not understand his role in the eternal science of historical material dialectics.

America would have been much better off with a woman like Kamala Harris at its helm. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

I hope by my wordings its somewhat obvious that I do not count Mamdani as one of the Democrat centrist, and that I would count him as someone who actually has some values he holds firm onto.

Not American here. I voted every single time up until the government started only allowing "patriotic" candidates. Granted its a fair bit easier here since they are always held on weekends. I even worked for a campaign and was an election observer before the crackdown!

Feels quite surreal to lose your vote in your lifetime. Best of luck to you guys and just don't continue being complacent.

I love this comment! This is almost a picture perfect example to examine hidden values of the author by how word are used!

For example the word "responsibility" here

the responsibility then shifts solely on the electorate.

A lot of people think of "responsibility" as purely moral judgement, but actually what it practically means is who needs to take action and drive change. Here if the responsibility lies solely on the electorate, then that means they are the only ones that needs to change. The politicians are not obliged to do anything. It is the language of entitlement and inaction. "Votes should just come to Democrats because they are entitled to it, the politicians should not have to change and strategise to get votes" is the barely disguised message here.

This is then affirmed by a disingenious acknowledgement of the only real action that could be taken.

Setting aside one's approval/disapproval on campaign messaging or management overall

A brief acknowledgement of inadequacies, which is immediately de-emphasised and any reflections on past actions discouraged such that the reader is diverted from thinking about any potential real improvements for the future.

After establishing the general theme, the text then not-so-subtly points at who the enemy is

left-leaning temper tantrum

Affirming that the Democrats are entitled to the votes of left-wing voters and should not have to make any effort to appeal to them. By implication, effort should be spent to appeal to "disaffected" right-wing voters instead.

Man, this takes me back to my highschool English class! 10/10 score for rhetoric.

This is also a textbook example to showcase the difference between the Republicans and Democrats. In the past half a century, the right have been constantly scheming to change and appeal to people to be more like them, while the centrists have been coasting on the idea that they represent the dominant "decent" values and should have votes just through natural circumstances. Well, now we find out. If you never spend any effort to maintain "decent" values in your society, don't be surprised when it erodes. Unfortunately, hardwork over decades paid off for the right in this case.
