Slayers is great, especially the first two seasons, before it went anime original.

Oh hey, my family did this back in early 2010s Italy. The local gold and silver dealership proudly displayed a copy of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics near the counter, that was fun.

New Windows feature… same as a virus?

Iowa man hauls grain, becomes involved in a minor diplomatic incident. Meanwhile, someone else on the ship wonders if he’s fated to become his own ancestor.

Nah, it’s the New Left -> Neoliberal pipeline, except for some reason they refused to admit it for themselves unlike in most other countries.

Some still can be considered leftists in spite of questionable views on foreign policy, but the majority are r/neoliberal types. Then there’s the sizeable amount of racists and clash of civilization types.

Yeah, it’s a decent site. Their reviews are a good way to find out what seasonals are interesting, which are horny nonsense… and sometimes praise is given to shows that are both.

I read that this weird aspect has in fact been toned down from the original game where unless you decide to involve yourself in a romantic relationship with the female social links, you can’t max then which… I don’t know what to say about it.

Yeah, the female route (from the PSP port and controversially not adapted to the remake) adds the innovation of… being able to not romance social links of the opposite sex. Also one of the characters rejects you no matter what. Though of course it has a very controversial romance choice which yea, was a huge L from ATLUS.

I haven’t played the remake, so I can’t comment on the music, but the best part of Persona 3 has to be the story imo.

However, in terms of the soundtrack, you can’t beat the atmosphere of Persona 1 on the PS1 in my opinion, even if Persona 3 has a lot of bangers.

Menthol, Pork and Pepper sausage, anyone?

In German right wing press.

The budget hole is actually not a big deal.

There was way less national debt before Covid-19 but the actual issue is that in 2011, the neoliberals pushed through a constitutional amendment requiring the country to have a balanced budget.

Then Covid comes and the war in Ukraine. The covid expenses are a given, but then the government pumps a lot of money into the military because the government sees itself as part of the western bloc and wants it to survive.

So they ran a deficit budget for two years as an arbitrary exemption, and now the constitutional court says “you can’t actually” - so the government is gonna do austerity now and throw people under the tank it just bought.

There’s no risk of collapse whatsoever. It’s just the new (old) form of the bourgeois state enforcing bourgeois interests.

Eeevil

they would have to find someone else who would want accepts meat and is willing to give them what they want.

Indeed, their dream of everyone becoming an entrepreneur on a truly free market. Being forced to grind all life, trade, sell for more than you bought for… swindle, cheat, steal, strongarm people.

There being a situation like in 90s Russia where the boss doesn’t have to pay you is something Milei wants.

The hope is that having an impoverished population will make them willing to work for less and make the line go up.

That’s more of an Abellio livery smh

It’s incredibly easy to pin down all the negatives in a society on the left - especially if they’ve never been in power.

Half Life is a GOAT game (2 is mid) and Black Mesa is a good remake. There’s also a mod that recreates the Blue Shift expansion, but I don’t know if it’s even close to being finished.

Kaiji hooked me HARD when I started it. The anime has a fantastic narrator as well.

Libs 100% don’t know what the PFLP is, or any of the secondary groups active in Palestine, including the Fatah and the Palestinian Authority.

To the average person’s view, the situation is filtered by the media and it is a dualism of:

Israel (Good Guys) vs Hamas (Evil Arbitrary Terrorists)

They’re just saying Ukraine needs to Bazinga it up and do more neoliberalism, as usual.
