Seriously. Some guy at work recommended it to me and I got to the scene where the super big titty nurse, the girlfriend, the guy, and maybe another girl were all naked and they were like... I dunno rubbing massage oil into him or something? I forget the pretext. I stopped there, I was done. But even in episode 1 they…

Revolutionary Girl Utena / Shoujo Kakumei Utena, you mean. One of the best of all time.

Weirdly, I liked SAC for making the Major sexy. Masamune Shirow is of the super-oversexed school of drawing ladies (boobs as long as a torso that flop in different directions), and it’s a minor plot point that the Major’s body from the outside looks like a standard sexbot model, souped up on the inside with military…

What things?

It’s super okay. NGE is deeply flawed. The no-budget ending is probably the most revolutionary and interesting part.

That there is only one way “drive for status” plays out and that it’s how “Men” do it is classic sexism.

There are many women who aren’t like most women.

I could have sworn I was taught, years ago, that there were multiple romanji systems. One might choose, for example, transliteration to “ou.” A different one, for example, might choose transcription to “o.” Your explanation doesn’t line up with that. Which is more accurate?

People are all like, write it anyway. They’re not wrong. But, for me, after working in the tech industry for over a decade, I found that I had internalized so much self-doubt... I have an anxiety problem to monitor as well and noticed I’d stopped engaging in productive habits I’d once valued across many facets of my…

It’s “funny” how often the people who most insist that “blood is thicker than water” and “family is the most important thing” are the very same ones who harm their families. It’s a self-serving value that lets them blame their family for having a rational reaction to cruel, unacceptable, and abusive behavior.

I’m…

> A partner lied to me about his new love interest and lied to her about his level of involvement with me, and that shit cut like a knife. It took everything I had in me not to destroy her trust in him the way he had destroyed mine, but I realized it wasn’t her fault, and ultimately not my place to tell her what was…

And I didn’t like “One Punch Man” personally. But only to this extent: I didn’t find it engaging enough to continue to watch. However, I LOVED the premise. So whenever I have occasion to talk about it with someone who likes it, I say, “It didn’t grab me, but it’s definitely worth a watch—the idea is great.”

We actually probably don’t disagree that much on it in general. In the broad picture, I concur with what you’ve said.

I don’t even agree it has pacing issues. Its pace is one of the things I like about it and have been impressed with. Perhaps on an episode-by-episode basis, but then when you watch them continuously, it’s incredibly well done. The manga is perhaps more conventionally paced, but I’ve approved generally of the minor…

But they may see this as closure even if you don’t, and there’s an obvious reason why (although may not, in fact, be their reason). Domestic abuse is something most families hide, even if “everyone” guesses. At home, victims often walk on eggshells, trying to avoid any word or action that may trigger “drama.” They’re…

Why is everyone missing the part where the blog suggests doing this for men, too? Obviously individual men wouldn’t need to on their LinkedIn profiles, but the author did specifically mention, if you’re a founder trying to get funding, use initials for your staff, both men and women. I genuinely came away feeling that…

Oh, I don’t know. Yes, it’s deeply problematic to put the burden on the marginalized group. Yes, there’s plenty of bullshit in the article--as the hilarious translations show. Yes, it’s hypocritical given the writer’s own funding profile and sex.

Sure, I like Uber just fine. I like Uber the same way I like Walgreens. It provides a service that I find useful. I’m not super passionate about my adoration for Uber.

You seem to continuously recast my disagreements as misunderstanding law or policy. I understand them, I don’t agree with them. For example, I said, “it’d probably fall to the whole ‘private property, private rules’ thing” (which incidentally has nothing to do with it being an employer or not). That is precedent and…

I lean toward the idea that it Uber might need more regulation, but I agree with you about transparency and about this. I’ve used Uber off and on for about a year and a half when I need a quick ride or a late one. But I don’t always use Uber at those times: sometimes I’ll hail cabs as they pass, or use the Uber app to…
