  After recently being reminded of Blame! I wanted to read more from the author Tsutomu Nihei. I did not expect that everything he touches would turn gold like Blame! did and was correct in that that assumption.

  • First I read Aposimz. I could take it or leave it. It’s very similar to Blame! in the setting and pasing but has a greater emphasis on the story and characters. While the setting is very cool and I enjoyed it I never felt connected to any of he characters. Which is sad since the story is mostly told through dialogue.
  • Secondly I read Kaina of the Great Snow Sea. I enjoyed spending my time with it. The setting is more nature focused here but the story is still about a mega structure. It works well and reminds me of Ghiblis Nasciaä of the Valley of the Wind. My biggest problem with it is that it never manages to build any tension. It kind of feels like the manga is being pulled in two different directions in that the characters and story feel very shounen but the setting is seinen. But overall its good.
  • Thirdly I read NOiSE. It’s very short. Nothing much yo say about this other than it’s more Blame!. +rec

  It’s a picture that was probably taken at the Army-Navy game. I couldn’t find the exact angle but this is what the screen and the surrounding architecture of the Northwest stadium looks like: …wikimedia.org/…/File:FedEx_Field_Faith_Leaders_-… Very similar to the screen capture.

  The Charlie Kirk memorial however was held at State Farm stadium which has screens looking like this: …wikimedia.org/…/File:Fiesta_Bowl_2019_Stadium.jp… and this: …wikimedia.org/…/File:Bell_Bank_partners_with_AZ_…

  I’m also not familar with the template. But it should speak for itself anyway. Diagrams are always selections. If you want a complete data representation you would need a table. If the author of the diagram wanted to show the effect of racial prejudices it would show the actually convicted offenders. There is enough space for another column.

  Well yes. Those statistics are paining a picture of black people being much more likely to be murderers than white people because of their skin colour. It makes it seem like the skin colour is the issue. Since skin colour is inherited that would mean tendencies to murder people are also inherited. Which would form a basis on which racist actions are justified. All of this just because the graph oversimplifies. The actual factors that cause people to commit homicide are complex and include amongst others income, gender, upbringing, view of women and mental health issues. Those correlate with skin colour but require very different actions to solve.

  I just watched the whole thing and I dont see any remarkable face dropping. He seems tired and mostly just reads the teleprompters, more so than usual. But not sick.

  Salad water is missing the element of heat.

  It’s from an old election ad from 1994 by Merz. I couldn’t find the original so just watch the first 40 seconds of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxuJekayt0M&t=105

  You are beeing very vague in what you describe so I wil be as well. If that means I’m talking about something else I’m sory. As a cis guy the way I understand it is, that some spaces meant for internal discussion about problems that are unique to LGBTQ+ people in order to share experience and advice where most people who are not part of the group can’t say anything since they aren’t affected. Since that is most people hetero peple are not welcome there in general for simplicity’s sake. Those spaces are not meant as an Information desk and they don’t have to be one since there are other spaces on the internet that can act as that. No one should have to be forced to be an information provider for something they are born with. The same as no blind person is obligated to answer your questions about their condition.
