I think Facebook is a good comparison with every business having an official FB page and FB groups being so big and active in the 2010s. Then FB started sucking shit and a lot of people left (many for Discord), so rn Discord is like this combo of Skype and FB and rotting once more.

this is really just one of many manifestations of "it's out of my hands" thought termination; same with "one person going vegan won't make an impact" and "the animals will die either way"

Praise for my self-control, or otherwise stressing how they would be unable to stop themselves from eating meat. It takes as much self control for me to be vegan as it does for me to not eat dead bugs off the sidewalk.

Ruri and her mom's interactions are some of the best and most believable I've seen in any manga, easy.

I've been having a similar experience with a lot of puzzle games lately. We need more games like Blue Prince that ask an unreasonable amount of the player.

Replace them with artisan caps that aren't really designed to be pressed

The biggest thing for me has been the switch from reading manga in EN to in JP, and a good workflow for flashcard creation. Even just keeping up with all the serialized manga I read on weekly or bi-weekly releases is just so much practice and new vocab. Completely transformative.

It's a close tie between ひらやすみ (Hirayasumi) which I read all of, and あかね噺 (Akane-banashi) which I read the first few volumes of; the former for its believable but still fun and adorable characters, and the latter for the sheer hype (and also Akane is the coolest).

I don't want anything at all, it just seems like you're anti-ai but you posted something that strongly looked like it, so I figured I'd point it out. If I'm wrong, then sorry for bothering you.

Also, the arm has an elbow bend as if its a right arm, but the hand is a left hand?

I'm gonna be real, I have a very hard time believing that. Why does the keyboard look so vague with all the text on the buttons being a blob? Why does the thumb on the hand look so weird? What is that cable going into the base of the monitor?

Did you realize this was AI when you posted it?

Congrats! I've been working on solo Ascent 4 one run per day and getting absolutely wrecked, personally.
