It won't take Trump or any of his circle down directly. Best case scenario is we get a 3rd try that succeeds.

I don't know if it's a hot take but I did read the manga and I prefer the movie. There's a lot to talk about and I don't want to write a big spoiler block essay but I think a lot of the manga plot begins to meander around. The movie condenses things together in a way that feels cleaner. Also I really don't think the manga stuck the ending.

But as you say, the movie is worth watching in any case though because the animation is pristine

Considering I never hear people talk about the manga/second half and I didn't know about it til I found them at a library, prolly not a spicy take. I will say the added story isn't as good as the first half, but it's just something extra to experience. I have no problem saying Anime > Manga here.

Enchiladas and Tamales. Homemade tamales are always superior, but I like to be a prude and judge tamales while still enjoying them.

Idk if I would call tacos Al pastor Tex Mex, but my Californian ass loves them.

Watch it and read the manga. Movie is absolutely phenomenonal, one of the best animated movies period. Manga covers the second half of the story not shown in the movie, so it's worth a read. Definitely not gonna say Manga > Movie because dat animation fucking carries, but its a nice little treat.

There's a really easy political fix, actually. Add finance and investment to high school curriculum.

This is already a thing in 30 states. The problem is the wealth disparity and typical late-stage capitalism problems.

Slavery never stopped being legal, we just rebranded it as "prison labor".

This. We never got rid of slavery and nobody gives a shit now. Most of the world is gonna just let us burn, and I don't blame them.

Why are they hiding them in underwear or shoes?
Do they get patted down upon entry?

We have done random searches because our metal detector doesn't catch the plastic vapes. None of us are risking a damn thing so they know they can stash vapes there and get away with it.

You still have to put the vape to your mouth to hit it. Its very obvious if someone is trying to hit a vape.

I dont think this is actually for vape reasons

It is for vape reasons. It is that stupid. The whole decision was basically:

Teacher: Students are using masks to hide the smoke.
Principal: Ok then, ban the masks. If they're sick they need to stay home.

I heard the whole thing. Teacher and staff can and absolutely do wear masks. I really wish this was all more nefarious and political, but it's chalked up to unchecked neuroticism.

...you dont serve lunch? is this a private school? or some dystopian public school hell? i thought mine was bad when they had to take all the doors off the bathrooms to make it harder for kids to smoke crack...

honestly i dont see why the school admin would give a flying fuck about a few students doing their best to hide their vaping habits. the school isn't their parent, when caught just report them to their parents. if the parents wont do anything then go to CPS and wash your hands of it.

We're a charter school where they only attend 5 hours. Basically students are here just shy of us being legally required to serve lunch. The real reason we're going wild on vapes is because the principal is absolutely fucking insane and is the direct cause of half our staff planning to quit at the end of the year. Unfortunately I'm basically her secretary so my hands are tied. My attitude is, let this shit escalate until the district or management company comes down and fires her.

Punishing everyone for the actions of a few always works out well. I don't know how legally or ethically a school can refuse to serve lunch just because a few people are sneaking in vapes. Have you considered an anonymous tip to the media?

It's simply the easiest solution, and the one that took approximately 10 seconds of planning. Honestly I'm getting closer to an anonymous tip, I just need to prepare myself for handling that fallout.

Do you live in the US? Either way i imagine working in education nowadays is maddening. Half of parents are insane radicalized loons and lots of kids are fed iPad/phone slop 24/7 to keep pacified

Florida. The school mission and everything is amazing, we're dropout prevention so we basically give students a second chance. However the entire system is absolutely fucked. On federal, state, district, school, parent and student levels. I understand why so many teachers are leaving the field. It's frustrating and depressing.

how the hell does a mask hide a vape? they wearing a halloween mask?

They sneak the vape in their underwear or shoes, them blow the vapor into the mask. How that completely hides it, I don't know. We also don't serve lunch and had to ban outside snacks because resealers exist and they sneak them in the bags. Many students complain about being hungry and can't focus because of this.
Peace Love Dope
All because a select few students are sneaking in tobacco vapes and using the masks to hide the smoke. And I have to be the one sending out communication and fielding parents calling asking if we've lost our God damn minds.

I'm never working in education again.

Libertarian party are either gullible fucks or the rich trying to keep their money. They completely lost the plot when thinking the government is the only limiting factor in our freedom. In America at least, they just let Capitalism slide and pretend that it doesn't limit freedoms itself. They also tend to ignore the social hierarchies that limit freedom, such as white supremacy and patriarchy.

If you want to be independent of the State, you gotta build up other structures that replace what the State leverages over us. Medicine, food, infrastructure, community justice, etc. . Libertarians just want to jump to the end goal without putting in that work. Ultimately I want similar goals under a socialist economy, but it's not as easy as voting for a 3rd party.

Fun fact, you can be both a Buddhist and an atheist. Not saying you necessarily are but many Buddhists don't believe in the Devas and it's also arguable if the Devas would even be considered gods.

One of the reasons I was initially interested in Buddhism was because I used to be atheist, and Buddhism was pretty much non-theistic. You can also be Christian and Buddhist. Very interesting religion.

Later you can add abilities from other clans based on their utility.

Oh snap, I'm surprised they added that from the TTRPG. Might look at some Banu Haqim stuff and be a stealth mage.

I don't mind people dogging on it if it's really that bad, but some of the Steam reviews had people at 0.1 hours writing dissertation-length screeds undoubtedly prepared beforehand.

Yeah, I'm not gonna place stock in user reviews. Lot of people bitter about it not actually being a Bloodlines sequel, and more of its own thing. Everyone knew what this game was gonna be, the devs never obfuscated that it's really just Vampire Dishonored.

I read review saying you get pretty powerful by the end of the game, and that it's pretty fun when you get all your abilities.

I can see that. Honestly I am enjoying some of the Tremere abilities you get early. Can sneak and do the blood boil, lob a bottle and take out a small group then recall to safety. I can't wait to do even more crazy shit.

Put in like 3 hours tonight. Honestly, it's not bad at all. Combat is a little jank but I feel when you unlock more abilities, it'll pick up. Characters are awesome, especially Fabien, Tolly, Safia and Ryong. Great atmosphere as well.

I used to smoke, think worst was just like a pack a week in my teens/early 20s. Mainly for social and relaxation reasons. Started vaping when I was 27ish, felt like a douche, and "quit". Would smoke maybe 2-3 cigarettes a year until I met my wife and completely gave it up. Luckily I was never addicted because while I smoked, I was already prescribed Wellbutrin so I was effectively immune to nicotine addiction.

So glad I quit, and now that I work with teenagers its a shame to see so many vaping so young and think nothing of it. Then again I had the same attitude their age, we just didnt pretend it was healthy.

in the sense that i dislike fascists, sure

but i feel you have to actually do something to be able to earn that title, possibly hit a fascists, but at the very least take part in a counter-protest or something
which, i haven't done either
just writing a post on the internet isn't enough to call yourself that. in my personal opinion

I agree with this sentiment. "Antifa" is a super nebulous term that, honestly, only has two practical uses:

1) A label to slap on people to either disregard their grievances or turn them into a target.
2) Describe various actions and organizing against fascist elements of society.

While punching a Nazi while counter protesting is the biggest face of antifascist action, majority of it is information gathering/dispersing. Like identifying local members of white supremacist and fascist groups, giving that information to the public, notifying hotels/conference centers they're hosting fascists, etc.
