i got a reusable sticker book exactly for this reason. it's a notebook with pages of release paper so that you can stick and peel off stickers easily. it gives me the satisfaction of "using" my stickers without the permanence of losing them after sticking

Jellyfish are the storm clouds of the sea

i heard a similar idea that if humans can't see air then maybe undersea creatures can't see water. so fish would be like birds and crustaceans would be like land dwellers. so yeah jellyfish being storm clouds checks out

you're right, i think we're in agreement. the side with guns and tanks retaliated against the side with bricks and molotov cocktails by opening fire

I'm less concerned about the specifics of where it happened and how many people died, and more concerned about how military personnel shot live ammunition at citizens.
According to the Tiananmen Papers, a collection of internal Communist party files, soldiers started using live ammunition at around 10.30pm, after trying and failing to disperse the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets.

my favorite part about these kinds of comments is that the article they commonly cite basically says there was no tiananmen massacre because the massacre happened outside of the square in the rest of beijing, and that's treated like it's some big gotcha

i've been looking at mamavation's reports and jumping directly to the raw data at the bottom. here's the bandages one

i easily get annoyed at eating the same food so i end up just having a really really stocked freezer
in hindsight that's seems like my actual problem

respect bro
i bought one box of curry and some potatoes, carrots, and onions for that. it took me three days to finish one serving and i still have two more prepped servings in the freezer. but at least i don't have to worry about curry cravings for another couple months i have no problem with chips, those are gone

i have a personal grudge against this series because i came up with the same idea a week before i discovered it and it didn't hit the right spot compared to my own imagination, but otherwise i think it's decent

Not to disagree, but what examples are there of a different system being practiced which have a more even distribution of wealth?

That's a very misleading title, since "battles" here is referring to survey results and not actual legal battles. The results make sense though. AI will probably generate the most popular kind of post because that's what has the most representation in its training data.
The main issue here is what is "popular" changes over time, and is directly related to what is available to the public. So if AI floods the internet with the same style of posts because it's currently the most popular, that style will quickly become boring, and using AI to get clicks will essentially lead to it writing itself into obsolescence. Until it gets trained or fine tuned on a new dataset which includes its own results, which leads to a separate issue where the training data is objectively bad.

depends on what you want. i can't get a good grasp of the very new ones because they're too short, but "maoi reijou no shikousha" looks like the villainess' butler, and there's one with a really long title that you can probably find by searching "lougout vrmmo" that looks like sao after they get out
less recent ones i like are "everyone is from another world except me" (comedy) and "heroine survival" (otome game but the girl is grinding her levels and skills through battle)
if you don't mind webtoons, i'm a fan of "the extra's academy survival guide" (entered a game as a minor villain who had just been defeated by the protagonist) because i've read some of the webnovel, and "the archmage's restaurant" (op guy, cooking slice of life)

It should be a bad translation but some things are beyond my mortal comprehension
**Description:** Three panels. The first panel is a picture of a sign on a window with Chinese that tells people to not to throw things out the window. There is a poor English translation on the sign that says "Do not shit in the air like a god." The second panel is D.W. from Arthur glaring at the sign. The third panel is D.W. saying "That sign won't stop me because I can't read!"

i also feel a lot of peer pressure to be perfect, but this time i was feeling down because i had just restarted after taking a long break and was doing a lot worse than i used to. it's not as if i can go back to being as good as i was without practicing though, so i just have to keep doing it and laugh a bit to feel better

thanks dude, glad i got step one down
**Description**: A three panel comic often referred to as "No take, only throw." The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption "I want to be good at my hobbies."

The third panel is the dog, still angry and refusing to let go of the toy, with the caption "Only good."

sometimes it's something that can't be looked up like a song tune or a scene from a show. i tried searching once using humming and it didn't work, but thankfully it only took a couple days for me to remember where it was from

I've recently gotten into "people make fun of me because I'm super weak but I'm actually the best in my field and people just don't realize the importance of my role, and after I got kicked out of my party they discovered that they became much weaker and were initially in denial but they will soon be begging on their knees for me to come back, but I've already found other people who actually respect me and what I can do"
if i had a nickel for every time i read a series where the most powerful exorcist was killed and he reincarnated in another world where he was looked down upon for his low magical talent, but his exorcism powers made him the strongest anyways, i'd have two nickels, and that's fine with me second one is alternatively titled "reincarnated as a son of an aristocrat"
