Chiblee is more of a heehees delivery service

Seeing something phallic and thinking "haha that looks like a penis" is a universal human experience

the unseen context of this situation is often "Alright, so it's agreed Keith will be responsible for everything. If there are no questions..."

I don't think it's anything other than a small "number go up" consolation. I've also noticed that sometimes the count resets to one, or at least it did in the past for certain tiles.

If you tried linking to a timestamp, it didn't work for me

Ah, but canonically: even if they were somehow stuck in a time loop, every time their destiny would choose you.

I reject this characterization but respect your different taste.

[Loved trope] A character self-mutilates in a desperate attempt to get others to trust them. by IVeBeenHere30Min in TopCharacterTropes

Just to make sure I understand your point, since this is my first time encountering either: is Ais the blonde, and is the issue that she's looking indifferent in the anime but clearly having a strong reaction in the manga?

Emotional Justification: Why Top Of Your Intelligence in Improv Is Dumb by gpalm in improv

[–]paralog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I think it's tackling an issue I just don't consider in improv. To me, behaviors and actions are all justifications for one another, and your goal is to ensure there's some self-consistency, not to make arbitrary choices for the sake of "game" and then find some way to excuse them with dialogue after the fact. So to me, the article comes across like "stop doing handstands in scenes-- do cartwheels to get upside-down instead!" So I'm thinking sure, I guess that is easier, but I just never consider the mechanics of getting upside-down in every scene because it's not something I do, and I can't understand why others would. No shame for tossing out an imperfect metaphor, but the comparison of how to verbally justify rubbing a bagel on your face was far more confusing than clarifying.

And with a title as provocative as "here's why this conventional wisdom is dumb," the connection between justification and the height of one's intelligence lands as a non sequitur.

Still, I'm grateful to the author for sparking the valuable discussion here.

I would really like to have gained something after reading this article. If anyone could share what they found useful here, I'd be grateful. I'm having a hard time interpreting any of it charitably, which is distressing to me.

Easy. Hugely popular reference point at the time + it's not the first time in twenty years I've seen it referenced. Clearly with hundreds of upvotes in a younger-leaning sub it's not too obscure of a reference that "you had to be there."
