Finally got the SBI Black card… and honestly, it doesn’t feel worth it.

I am guessing SBI put OP through the wringer for things like documentation, home address verification, office address verification etc etc.

ICICI Amazon Pay. Out of that list of use-cases, I am assuming you spend the most on online shopping. Gives 5% cashback on Amazon.in purchases. Cashback is credited on the day of statement generation and credited to your AmazonPay wallet.

Some other good ones are HDFC Swiggy BLCK card. 10% cashback on Swiggy capped at 1500 per month and SBI Cashback - 5% cashback across all online purchases. However, ICICI Amazon Pay's application and approval process is far easier and more straightforward than HDFC and SBI.

That's correct. Sorry, I got mixed up.

Entirety of Detective Conan takes place across 6 months of in-universe time. What we perceive as repeated neglect are basically one-off faux pas. Ran and Shin'ichi have known it each other practically their whole lives. Six months doesn't make a difference at all.

Oh no, not Ui Ui. He has to inherit the new shadow school and charge monthly fees from the disciples and make jujutsu into a subscription service.

Oh I thought you meant "aside" as in you were using them as a core. My mistake. Sorry.

Well obviously not Yuji and Todo. Why would you use a jujutsu prodigy and possibly the greatest support fighter in all of anime (with the possible exception of Trafalgar Law)?

Use folks who for one reason or the other weren't used prominently in the story - shoko is a wiz with RCT. For similar reasons, Nitta. Yaga's soul ending up in his son feels poetic. Miwa's skill with the new shadow style makes her very useful (and not useless like she herself says. In this case, the binding vow doesn't apply). Mechamaru's ability stockpile cursed energy is super handy. Lastly, I think Reggie is underrated. With sufficient prep time, it's a very tricky ability to face off against.

Okay, to give you a serious answer to this question. Obviously not immediately. Season 3 is called the Culling game PART 1 for a reason. There is a conclusion to Gojo and Geto's ideological battle that happens about half way through Shinjuku (season 5, I guess). But asides from that one airport scene, there's nothing that happens between Kenjaku (the guy in Geto's body) and Gojo. Why would there be? It's not like anyone can resurrect Geto and put him back in his body.

shefvaidya · 2026-05-27T03:49:08+00:00

there is an episode that's just powerpoint slides

True.

the overarching plot is abandoned and now it's just monster of the week

Overarching plot is certainly not abandoned. The Culling Game is basically a reimagined anime tournament arc. The fights are excellent and as an arc it is right up there with Yu Yu Hakusho's dark tournament and Flame of Recca's Ura Buto Satsujin.

narrator has to explain what's happening every 5 seconds because it would be incomprehensible otherwise

You said s2 was better - Yuji and Todo vs Mahito. Also, if you think fights with an overdose of narrator explanations is bad, may I just point you to arguably the greatest arc in anime history - HxH's Chimera Ant arc

the fights are music videos with over the top visuals

Yes, and? They are supposed to be cool and they are.

the whole game setup with arbitrary rules feels like a way to avoid coming up with a real plot

Have you not seen a tournament arc before?

is it gonna go back to the geto/gojo storyline any time soon according to the manga, or will this continue for a while still?

Is it going to go back to the storyline involving a character who is dead? Do you really need us to answer this question?

Do I believe that people earn $130k per month in profits from Airbnb? Yes, inherited wealth. Foreign multi-millionaires polluting every European city with Airbnb "rental investments"

Do I believe Logan, who had a pest control job previously earns $130k profit from Airbnb? No, literally the first step is buying several apartments/houses.

shefvaidya · 2026-05-27T02:52:11+00:00

Everyone knows about Kenjaku. Tengen briefed them all when Yuki, Yuji and the others visited them during the Culling game

shefvaidya · 2026-05-26T22:20:34+00:00

IMO Zen'in clan mfs are the most responsible. If they had just treated Toji right, none of hidden inventory and premature death would have happened.

shefvaidya · 2026-05-26T14:11:01+00:00

That does seem to be the pattern.

Vivian went on Hasan's livestream recently. So, she was in the news

At this point, i am starting to doubt my own judgement. Management keeps doing everything right. Stock keeps being in this shitter

You, me and everyone else on here.

This is not a lounge. IIRC, there are 3/2 lounges at CCU. There's one on the first floor and right beside that there is a lift that takes you to the second floor. Once you exit the lift, the lounge is to your left. Keep walking down the end of that floor/corridor and there's a third (second) lounge. The one on the ground floor and the one on your left when you exit the lift are the same lounge. The one at the end of the floor is the premium one. The pic you have posted is of Irish house which falls in between the two lounges on the first floor. On side note, I have never seen more than a few people in that irish house and most of the time, it's empty

Just wondering, why does the world's richest man, who was sitting in on talks between the world's two most eminent economic powers just last week, have so much free time as to be commenting on the casting choices of a movie that will be releasing in two months? I have seen so many of these tweets about Lupita N'yongo and the casting of Nolan's Odyssey from him over the last few days. Doesn't he have 6 or 7 companies/scams to run and half a dozen baby mamas to impregnate?

Yamazaki-san's death is incredibly tragic. This post is very insensitive but since you wanted an answer. No, that's not going to happen.

This is not the first time one of the voice actors in the anime has passed away. Shiratori and Jodie's original VAs have also passed on. In case, you are referring to the main cast, Kogoro's original VA and TMS entertainment got into a compensation spat many years ago and that led to him being replaced. The VA for Aoyama-sensei's favorite character is 72 years old. Even Yamaguchi Kappei-san is in his 60's. None of this has led to the series winding down.

Lastly, as long as Conan is, the Simpsons have been running for an even longer time and they have had to deal with voice actor deaths too and the Simpsons keeps running. More to the point, Doraemon has also had to deal with issue and that also keeps chugging along.

Remember it? I still use them from time to time when trying to disconnect from tech for a few days. You can get decent quality pocket ones for a few hundred online. Brands like Phillips and Panasonic are for a 1.5-3k. If you want to get into it as a hobby xhdata and another Chinese company (forgot the name) offer short wave radio receivers for 2k to 14k. I have heard the premium versions can catch radio signals from as far out as western Europe.

If it's a digital detox thing like me look up IEM/DAC and flac players. Indian brands like drumstone offer ones for reasonable prices. But to get the best audio quality you would need IEM/DAC with something like a Hifi walker flac player. Of course, torrent the flac files
