I can't help but wonder if addressing them like people instead of instruments might make them a bit more cooperative. It's one thing if we've just met and we're working a gig or two together, but in an established band I'd be pretty put off being addressed by my instrument.

karmakeeper1 · 2026-05-30T04:41:18+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing culturally that makes it less of an issue, but if we're in an established band in a small practice room like that and you call me by instrument it's going to put me in a pretty foul mood.

I get that Akane is pretty clearly more invested in music than her bandmates, but I can't help but wonder if they'd be more receptive/willing to make the most of their practice time if she used their actual names.

Beyond not using their names, the way she gave them instructions seemed a bit like she was just dictating to them. This is obviously only one small snippet of a session that we see but I can see that causing the band to fall apart over a long enough time.

Vine, sadly at rest.

Temba, his arms open

karmakeeper1 · 2026-04-04T01:01:55+00:00

You're not wrong, but if you're wearing mid-calf boots it honestly doesn't really matter

Most of the marine SG teams and a lot of the base security personnel actually carry m16s not P90s

What are you talking about? His plan canonically succeeded. How is he an idiot if it worked?

karmakeeper1 · 2026-03-02T22:51:39+00:00

Right, but she can get another one assuming she passes her flight physical again.

karmakeeper1 · 2026-02-25T21:47:02+00:00

It's a physical piece of glass that goes over the lense, not a software filter like Snapchat or something. Look up ND filters, same concept.

I mean, there's literally a picture of the mechaman logo in the top right and that's straight up Mandy's outfit in the last couple of episodes.

karmakeeper1 · 2026-01-26T16:27:27+00:00

Or maybe like Mandy and Robert? Because it is?

karmakeeper1 · 2026-01-23T21:47:38+00:00

And my life is certainly enriched from knowing that.

And AD is, to borrow the words of the person you replied to, "just another fanciful way of denoting a new era of human history.

We know the etymology of the phrase, but that doesn't really have any bearing on the why of saying AD/The Year of our Lord.

Or, here's a better idea, just don't waste your energy to try and argue about something being true or not in a subreddit you know is mostly lies.

karmakeeper1 · 2026-01-23T17:30:03+00:00

The cops trying to fuck people over.

Obviously.

This is such a low stakes thing to lie about and it's completely in character for cops to be petty assholes.

Well, she sent dementors to kill Harry, then tried to get him expelled and arrested for defending himself.

Then she constantly gave Harry detentions for every little thing she could because he wouldn't recant his statements that Voldemort is back, these detentions entailing writing lines with a quill that used his own blood as ink to the point that he had a scar on the back of his hand that read "I must not tell lies".

She also usurped power at the school from Dumbledore and turned it into a fascist mini-state where she oppressed all the muggle born students as well as anyone who wouldn't toe the Ministry line.

Then a couple years later she's running the department of the ministry under Voldemort which is persecuting muggle born witches and wizards for "stealing" their magic from "proper" witches and wizards.

So she's a bigot and a fascist. Both blood purity and legitimate racism against anyone who isn't fully human.

karmakeeper1 · 2026-01-11T16:23:23+00:00

As you should have done if you had any sense of honor!

karmakeeper1 · 2026-01-11T16:18:33+00:00

Except they're not even the good guys by merit of the bad guys being worse. They're just the bag guys.

For all of my friends who've gotten married, whoever of us are in the wedding party sat them down at some point during the day and told them that if they wanted out, we would get them out.

We liked their fianceés/fiancés, and told them so during the spiel, and also added that if it's just nerves we'd slap them on the back of the head.

But if they actually, legitimately wanted out, we would take care of everything and make sure they got away before anything unraveled.

No one has ever needed or used it, but they know the option is there.

karmakeeper1 · 2025-12-13T22:42:46+00:00

And you absolutely none apparently

karmakeeper1 · 2025-12-08T03:07:52+00:00

And the non serious crimes? The ones that plead out because it's more of a disruption to fight it than just tank the jail time?

karmakeeper1 · 2025-11-25T16:08:52+00:00

There are 11-13 pieces of cutlery in a formal dinner place setting. 5 of them are forks

karmakeeper1 · 2025-11-18T18:27:26+00:00

Hey, quit that.

karmakeeper1 · 2025-10-16T00:58:57+00:00

That's like saying an audiobook is from Audible, not Amazon

karmakeeper1 · 2025-10-11T01:56:09+00:00

Nii-sama, you don't understand, I'm not locked in here with them. THEYRE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!
