It's not new years though.

It will be soon, and the other thread was too long

>>12698
but it isn't. And not long enough.

>>12699
Too long for filthy phone posters.
Can't take them when they are that long, bby

>>12700
small phone posters, damn.

>>12703
They suck!

Awoo

Btw about whether
specially exchange C to F for pindoses

>>12711
Hu.

>>12712
Aussie-kun~
Gonna bed now. Nighty night, enjoy yourmorning

>>12713
Sweet dreams.

>>12715
watched some more zeta!

>>12717
Wow!

>>12718
Finally got back on it.

>>12719
Good.
Are you still watching the shitty new Gundam show?

>>12720
We're very behind. Gonna wait until the last episode airs next week and just marathon it.

>>12721
I see.

>>12722
What do you see?

>>12723
>>12724
You.

>>12725
How do I look?

Typically with your eyes.

>>12726
>>12727
Beautiful.

>>12729
:)

>>12737
Any new years plans?

>>12738
Nope, my family normally doesn't celebrate New Years.
>>12739

>>12740
Just watched Geats.. Things happened...

>>12740
Friends don't either?

>>12741
F Girori and Punkjack I guess.
Not sure how I really feel about the twist at the end even though I kinda saw it coming, still liked the episode because at least Keiwa and Neon weren't wet blankets unlike last week.
>>12742
I think they are, as in with their family and not me.

>>12743
Damn.
Christmas is for family.
New years is for the BOYS.

>>12744
Are you doing something?

>>12743
So much for the dream of having him continue on as Ace's dad.
Yeah, not just giving up immediately was more in character, or something..
I'm not sure if I'll manage Donbrothers tonight or not.

>>12746
Sad... Maybe now Niram will be his daddy.
Mhmm. I also hope wolf girl lasts longer than the goat girl from this round.
Well, tell me if ya do! I'm still makin' slow progress on Precure...

>>12747
I merely hope for more Nee-san.
You mean not gone in the first five minutes? I'm not sure that's allowed.
I feel like it's going to have to be a Friday thing for me this episode.

>>12745
Gonna meet with friends yes.

>>12748
That part of the wish should still be intact, so hopefully.
Probably not.
Busy tomorrow?
>>12749
Have fun!

>>12750
Excellent news.
Big rip to anyone new, every time..
Yeah, kinda. Bar lunch and then stuff to do in the evening.
>>12751

>>12751
Hello.
>>12752
I bet Jamato Michinaga is just gonna kill both of them, and then get turned back into a human and the rest of the main characters will act like nothing ever happened.
Ah.

>>12753
I cen certainly see the first.. But how get turned back into a people unless Keiwa wins?
>>12754

>>12754
I dunno if I want that present...
>>12755
The farmer guy said he was still alive cause he used zombie too much, so basically stupid as fuck main cast plot armor.

>>12756
He did, but I was hoping that the Soon.™ to be experimentation didn't just mean he'd get pulled back into regular Buffa status like nothing ever happened.

>>12757
I agree but I'm also not gonna get my hopes up.
That said, I would definitely be happy if they subvert my expectations and actually have Ace or Keiwa put him out of his misery.

>>12758
That would be an acceptable way to go about it in my opinion, but you'd know more of what to expect than I.
>>12759

>>12761
Yep, but I can always hope to expect wrong.
>>12762

>>12774
heh

>>12776
do it

ded

Weeb, what is gonna be good next season?

>>12782
Kaina and OniMai.
>>12783

>>12784
Will keep those in mind, then!

>>12785
Good.
Did you like the last ep of Bocchi?

>>12786
No, but only because it was the last episode of Bocchi

Otherwise, it was great

>>12787
Yeah, it is sad that its over. Luckily its popular enough that they'd be stupid not to make an S2.
Yeah, I thought it was great too, three new songs even!
Actually, I wanted to ask because you seem to know more about this than me, but how did her using the bottle on her guitar actually help?

>>12788
..IDK how some of the shows coming for winter managed a second season. They are baaaaaaaaaaad

The bottle on the guitar did help. It really did what they explained; when you are using a slide like that, exact tuning is a lot less important.

Really, the more critical problem with the guitar was not that a string broke, but that one of the tuning pegs for another string had gone, also.

>>12791
Such as? When I looked at it I did notice a ton of isekai shows...

Ah, thanks, makes more sense now.

>>12793
https://myanimelist.net/anime/season
In/Spectre somehow managed to get a second season
Bofuri has a season 2, but I liked that one
danmachi is on season *4*
The one that really gets me is Fruit of Evolution. That one was shit.
Misfit in Demon Academy also has a season 2 already

There are at least 12 isekais on the list for the season and probably a few more isekai-tangential-fantasies that I didn't quite count

>>12794
>In/Spectre somehow managed to get a second season
Yeah, the manga for that was awful, I don't get it either.
>danmachi is on season *4*
I watched the first season and I think maybe one episode of the spinoff and thats it.
>Misfit in Demon Academy also has a season 2 already
I watched like 2 eps of this and yeah, it shouldn't be getting one either.
Haven't watched the other two.

NO MORE ISEKAI.

>>12796
In/Spectre had one of the worst last arcs I have ever seen in an anime. They were literally just sitting in a car and talking for multiple episodes

I am forgetting images, bad

>>12797
Correct, probably

>>12798
Sounds boring!

>>12801
And it got a season 2 for that!

>>12802
How dumb.

>>12803
Fix the industry!

>>12804
Dunno how.

>>12805
Bring Spec back

>>12806
I'm not good enough for ya, huh?

>>12807
I wouldn't be here if you weren't!

>>12809
I like the new guitar

>>12810
Yeah it was nice.

>>12811

Hu dum

Why are you two so gay?

>>12870
Weeb

>>12871
Shinoa.

>>12872
I wanna to UK, set on amphetamine diet, work in some pub and go to the club with ukg every weekend.

Shinoa's gonna go on a tour of all the Muslim countries I see.

>>12873
And then get knife'd or acid in the face?
Also, ukg?

>>12874
Living in a caliphate is just part and parcel of the 21st century.

>get knifed
He's from Russia. Gopniks can out stab limeys any day.

>>12874
From what United Kingdom is muslim country?..
But I wanna visit open Jumeirah's day in Qatar, they gonna open new hotel in Bahrein and hiring here.

>>12875
Lost my mind, got up in unfamilliar interior without money and with injures... Yeah, probably.
>ukg
UK garage. I fucking like this shit a lot.

>>12876
Rather some Asian religion.
I observed recently what Chinese have 17 banks in top 100 biggest banks in the world.

>>12878
>UK garage
Ah, I see.

China is getting their grubby little fingers into just about everything they can, especially places with low US interference, all the while shipping their low quality products and fentanyl to us.

>>12876
https://twitter.com/hanayu_aa/status/1603092016556314624

>>12878
It's a joke about the changing demographics of the U.K.
Though honestly, isn't Islam one of the fast growing religions in Russia, too?
Thanks in part to most of the Caucasus region, but still-

>>12877
I'm too pacifist for that... Heh.

>>12879
>low quality products
Honestly this stereotype should be in the deep past.
>finger to everything
I guess, yeap, it's kind of competition of titans. Don't tell that yours titan is better.

>>12880
>isn't Islam one of the fast growing religions in Russia, too?
Probably, yeah.
But people from Caucas and regiona is changing due environment.
Honestly I like some guys who arrived recently and trying to cooperate with their nation for keeping traditions. Sometimes what's like a bands, but mostly this is like big familly who trying to keep their culture... And Caucasus culture is much better than Russian... Moscow citizens lost everything, I don't tell even about some familly values...

>>12882
>>12883
>Don't tell that yours titan is better.
You're not wrong, the US, and its influence over the world for the last century has been pretty bad. Especially when our current government is constantly threatening to take away what freedoms we do have, and at that point we'd be no different from China, or worse even, because at least China has some traditional values intact.

>>12883
You and Becky would get along well, kinda wish Becky was here to shit post at you.

That sounds really sad... what happened in Moscow, aside from the usual BIG modern capitol city problems?

>>12884
https://twitter.com/HS_egg/status/1600146433058824194

>>12885
lmao

>>12884
>freedom we do have
I began to read "The grapes of wrath" someday... What can I say about? Honestly, a lot of, but it will be something scattered without any final end.
>China
As I said before, I don't like mentallity of strongest Asia but I wanna take a look at Malasiya, Taiwan, Singapur and etc, cause it's more "society" than "individual".

>>12885
I can only jealous to traditional values. I'm too spoil person at all...
So, so... I'm not sure about get along.
>what happend
Treatment of government and influence of that. Somewhere a lot of lye, somewhere try to control every action of everybody. People are a lot of selfish, don't feel theirself like a part of nation, forget history, they haven't reasons to proud of present government... This shit.
Government don't wanna unit nation, cause otherwise nation will change this corruption empire.

Imho...

>>12890
Yaoyao is not to be sexualized.

>>12891
Do you feel like there's some kind of regression back to the Soviet empire? Not in terms of Communism, but in terms of over controlling, corrupt government.
This seems like a thing Russia goes through every couple hundred years.

In some sense modern youngsters have... Oh, sorry, after war they HAD everything, but they haven't any reasons to live, to grow, to be a part of society.
They don't understand their social responsibillity, they see only stick of a law...
But probably I'm too utopist and people are really cows, which you should punch. I dunno. For an example my neighbors from villa - I already started used some strong maneurs and stick sometimes.

>>12891
>Grapes of Wrath
Haven't read it.

I dislike China's ideology as well, and I'd still rather live in the US than have the government come weld my door shut just because I got covid, but also America is a society of degenerates who worship money and crime.
>>12892
Yeah yeah yeah.

>>12894
I think both are correct. The modern person is treated like livestock BECAUSE they no longer have any greater purpose, or sense of adventure, or anywhere or thing to adventure to.
And there's just so damn many of em all trying to live in one spot, that just makes it worse.

>>12895
YEAH!

>>12898
CELLS INTERLINKED
I still need to watch those movies someday...

>>12899
Oh holy shit, you haven't?

I litteraly asked them in the villa chat, tryed to provoke diacussion about rules, what I did for everybody... Wihout any reaction.

>>12893
>but in terms of over controlling
Honestly I explored this theme correctly only in Russia, how this government trying to control personal data, messages, location, money transactions and etc.
And I know, what it's worldwide problem.
But I'm just to proud to give my data for government which can't provide comfortable level of life for citizens include me.
>corrupt government
Same shit, question only is "how much".
In Russia it's kind of cheap comparing with others.

>>12895
>Haven't read it.
There's about family of americans farmers who had to move due to begining of capitalism. This period, when famillys value, social responsibillity and humanity started to throw out and some people tryed to make money on poor migrants and poor migrants were selfish and tryed to survive. Too hard to read for me.

>>12896
>BECAUSE they no longer have any greater purpose, or sense of adventure, or anywhere or thing to adventure to.
Man, c'mon... We have the space, we have oceans, we have our poles, we have a lot of countrys with different nations at least.

But modern world want a lot of stupid consumers who will burn your life for making money on nonsensicial things.
What a sense why now we have a lot of financial pyramids, sects and other shit.
...
Maybe we have too many people on Earth already?

Hard to think about it, cause thoughts aren't good.

>>12900
Nope!
I've seen Drive though, basically the same movie, right? ;^)
>>12901
>when famillys value, social responsibillity and humanity started to throw out
All of which is also coming to a head in the modern era.

>>12902
>coming to a head
Yeap. As I said - that was beginning, when people and earth were disconnected. When urbanism made big progression.

>>12901
I wouldn't give them my data even if they COULD provide me a comfortable life. But to some extent I already have either willingly or not.
But I understand what you mean.
"Cheap" what do you mean?

>Space, oceans, poles
The average person is only fit (physically, mentally, or otherwise) for small adventures. Be reminded that the average person has like a 10 mile radius bubble they NEVER leave.

We'll drop this subject then, it is a bit of a depressing one.

>>12902
Har. Sure sure.
But really the first Blade Runner is better watch it, and make sure you watch the right version 'cause the theatrical release was hilariously bad.
Then go watch 2049.

>>12905
From the first one I just know about the tears in the rain scene.

>>12906
Ah, but the context around it is what makes it.
Go forth and watch.

>>12904
Don't look on me like I'm pathetic shizophrenic speaking some bullshit...

>>12905
>I wouldn't give them my data
I think what's the reason why we're talking now on imageboard, right?
>"Cheap" what do you mean?
You can make fake criminal case for enemy for ~13k$. I avoided army for 5k$. In individual cases government tryed to regulate or wipe punishments even for criminals which cases been in media on TV or magazines.
Some sort of shit in Russia is cheaper and more availible for people. Qatar is very corrupted too, but here's you should know right people. In Russia even some road controller can offer you "regulate question on place", lityerally everybody with power
>mentally
This is the key. And nobody don't make a purpose to grow your mental abillities, cause you can make some dangerous if you will understand something.

>>12912
Eh, sorta kinda no. I have a Discord, and Steam. Imageboards were something I fell into many years ago, and it's a format I can't seem to let go of.
>you can bribe people
Oh... now that I think about it, Alex talked about this too. RIP Alex, wherever you are.
But I understand what you mean now. But damn, really? It cost you 5k to avoid conscription? Is that really "cheap"? I guess considering the alternative it is...
>that's the key
True, I won't argue that.

>>12913

>>12912
I meant it as a sad face because I agree with you!
>>12914

Good night guys

>>12917
Indeed.
>>12919
Night.

>>12917
>>12919
Sleep well!

>>12918

>>12922
WHORE

>>12924
She probably WOULDN'T be a whore, oddly enough.
Like just to be the odd one out, she'd be the most loyal...

>>12925
Nah, Karin is definitely the most pure of the group.
I bet either Akane or Toki is the biggest whore though.
>>12926

>>12927
I meant the uma tho.

>>12928
>>12929
Oh, true then.

>>12930
What's new?

>>12931
Not much.
I got Fuuka in 10 rolls and then Haruna took another 190.

>>12932
Who?

>>12933
The New Years girls! I sent you the PV before...
But to reiterate, Fuuka is the one in the pic in my previous post, and Haruna is pic rel.

>>12934
Ah-
Grats!
https://twitter.com/rrr_gns/status/1608117682427293698

>>12935
Cute.
Anything new on your end?

>>12936
Indeed.
Nope, not really.
Remember how I said I needed to call and make sure my application for that semiconductor thing went through?

>>12939
I'm guessing you just made that call?

>>12940
No- turns out I didn't have to, literally the next morning after I posted that, I got an email confirming what block I was in.
So, fingers crossed, come this Spring, I have a new job.

>>12941
I hope it works out for you!
Lets hope I do too.

>>12942
We both gotta make it bro, and show that dum Ran what's up.

>>12943
Yeah... Show Ran whats up while he's on his path to a well paying programming job...

>>12944
It's not about the money, it's personal!

>>12945
Mhmm.
So if I understand correctly, you're confirmed for taking their training, so that means you'll probably get the job too, right?

>>12946
NOTHING is confirmed other than I'm in that block of classes.
I still have to go through the entire hiring process post that.
Even if TSMC says "no" there's actually other fabs down here that are hiring on now.
Though, since TSMC just confirmed FORTY BILLION to build a SECOND fab, I think chances are okay they'll need people.
Really, I just find the idea of working for them cool. Even if they don't hire me, I'll only take the other fabs if they pay better than some of the cnc shops.

>>12947
But like, if they're training you, doesn't that mean they want to hire you?

>>12950
G'night.

>>12948
It's not actually them that's doing the training specifically, it's an industry partner thing with the local colleges.
It's why you have to go through the hiring process with one, or all of them once the program ends. TSMC is one of like seven that has moved here, and trying to hire on. It's just that TSMC is the biggest, and the one throwing the most money behind it.

>>12951
Night.
>>12952
Ah. Well still seems like you have a good chance if they're that in need of people.

>>12953
Everyone kind of knew they were going to be in desperate need of people.
The modern American isn't qualified to flip burgers, or pack your Amazon package. For them to suddenly uproot semiconductor fabrication out of desperation from fucking up global politics, anyone could have said they'd be desperate to train people.

>>12954
Americans have gotten too accustomed to the easy life, like me.

>>12955
You have skills just... none that can really be applied outside of a few niches.

You know part of the problem of the whole modern cluster fuck of people coming out with useless degrees I really feel stems from the lie we were all told (or that at least I was told) in high school of: "Just get any degree! We don't care if it's in underwater basket weaving!"
And now that a ton of people have absolutely useless degrees, and college is just an extension of high school (shackled with enough debt to bankrupt a country or two), they only now realized what corner they painted themselves into.

>>12956
I have ONE skill and on top of niche, its quickly depreciating.

You're not wrong there, although my parents both forcing me into going to college as soon as I got out of HS, and forcing me to choose a major immediately instead of letting me go undeclared didn't help.

>>12957
Why, because of DeepL or other translators? Or because foreign languages are becoming more accessible, and more people know English now on top of it, as well?

Well I can understand their reasoning, too. MOST people I know knew what they wanted to do when they were like- twelve. I didn't know what I actually wanted to do 'till I was almost thirty.
I'm still bouncing around between a lot of things, NEEThood was one of them.
I envy those that immediately found their niche, that just walked into the stride of whatever their profession was, but not knowing what to do is fun, too.
At least you have an idea now of what you want to do, right? Plus you're like twenty four, you could totally change course now if you wanted and do whatever.

>>12958
Both of those are true, but I meant in the sense that the longer I don't actively use the language in daily life, the worse the skill gets.

I envy those people too, and no, I really don't have an idea for what I want to do with the rest of my life. I mean, I would love to be a NEET in Japan, but I know thats not exactly feasible, and if nothing else I'd at least have to work long enough to get permanent residence. I guess I did actually have something I wanted to do when I was 12, but I let one bad teacher ruin it for me. Which, in hindsight I realize is silly, but its hard not to feel frustration towards something when someone harasses you about it for a year straight.

Also as for the debt thing, don't you love how that has perfectly come around to being a political talking point that will help get votes for the same people most in academia want electe?
>>12959

>>12959
>>12961
Oh, well, yes... you have a significantly perishable skill.
The DeepL stuff is vastly overstated anyway.

What was it? And how did she ruin it?

Hmmmmm... never let a tragedy go to waste, right?

hi

>>12963
Oh no :(

>>12964
Hi

>>12965
Hello

>>12962
>>12963
Yeah, DeepL is a meme and more people learning English isn't really a problem either because thats just not really true in Japan.

I think I've mentioned this before, and don't laugh, but artist. I had a teacher in my freshman year who just decided she hated me for some reason I could never understand, and she was always very mean to me and would refuse to give me any actually constructive criticism.

Somethin' like that.
>>12964
