Yes. All my yes.

I’m low-key excited. It has been a long time since the anime series, it was a blast, and based on this trailer it seems the movie keeps rather well the “everything is so fucked up might as well laugh” feel.

Added to my lists - I didn’t exactly like the first season, I think it did a poor job on adapting the novel (and the manga is considerably better), but hey, I’m a sucker for this kind of story.

I was expecting a s2, they hanged the loose endings in s1’s final episode a bit too obvious:

I’m probably watching it, but got to admit the first season wasn’t exactly memorable.

Ah. I would’ve never guessed it!

Now I’m really curious on what it is.

Numbers.

1. Ichinose Sayuri
2. Nikaidou Nanase
3. Mitaka Nozomi
4. Otonashi Mai
5. Godai Rina

I think it depends a lot.

If Frieren is transported into the KnY world and fights a bunch of local demons, then she’d likely conclude they’re the same shit as in her own world. Then I bet she’d kill Nezuko first and then ask questions.

However, if it’s Nezuko and Tanjiro being transported into the SnF world, I think Nezuko might stand a chance. Frieren would likely notice Nezuko isn’t the same sort of demon as she typically fights, get a bit more on the defensive side, and in the meantime Tanjiro can intervene and explain stuff.

Wow, this is useful. Main ones I’m picking are:

• Mynoghra - I like the manga and LN. I hope they adapt the story well to anime.
• Mizu Zokusei no Mahou Tsukai - I’m doing it based on genres, it seems like the sort of fantasy I like.
• Vending Machine s2 - s1 was a pleasant surprise for me.
• Shield Hero s4 - it’s getting a bit old, but hey, still fun.
• Dr. Stone s4.2 Science Future p2 - ditto as above
• [Movie] KnY: Infinity Castle - unlike the above, I feel like the series is getting better over time.
• [Movie] Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc - the first season was a banger, the manga is fun, so why not?

For some reason I don’t recall, in 2023 I decided to watch Hikaru no Go again. All 76 episodes (incl. the special). And I did it over the span of three days.

I also remember doing something similar with FMA:B some years ago.

Instant teleport is always a useful ability.

Besides the reasons already mentioned by others here: not all users are the same, and we’re better off if some of them remain in Reddit. And yet this sort of advertisement is bound to attract people who are at the very least completely clueless (otherwise they wouldn’t be seeing ads), if not worse.

Instead I think that a better approach is to simply use the platform. Create posts, insightful comments, use the voting buttons. Also, discourage people from derailing non-political threads with political content.

Moral of the episode: if you go to vacations, the world ends.

Okay, the gun thing made me laugh.

But perhaps you aren’t taking the analogy the wrong way?

A gun is usage of force. And the paradox of tolerance does prescribe the usage of force against “the intolerant”, in a few situations. Not everything is solved by, for example, letting fascists to hang with their friends in McDonald’s. (Except Mussolini. Upside down.)

I see two “deep” issues here.

One of them is that it’s damn hard to decide, in online communities, who should [not] be allowed to perform some action in a fair, transparent, and simple way. There’s always some way to circumvent it, and always someone who should perform it but gets locked out.

For example: what would prevent me from subscribing to a comm, downvoting everything there, and then unsubscribing from it? Or just subscribing to comms to vote-brigade them, while newbies legitimately interested on the comm are unable to vote in it?

I have no good solution for this issue.

The second one is that this sort of Reddit-like voting system doesn’t really work well. It’s at most bidimensional (score vs. controversy, or up vs. downvotes); and yet there are a thousand reasons why people vote, and a thousand pieces of info that they can retrieve (or falsely believe to retrieve) from them. And depending on those reasons, the vote might be completely fine or not.

There are also more practical concerns; I believe that @davel@lemmy.ml’s Hexbear example illustrates this well. If you anyhow hamper the ability to voice negative feedback through downvotes, people do it by noisier ways.

For this issue, perhaps a “reverse Slashdot” system would work better? Basically splitting the downvote (but not the upvote) into multiple categories (e.g. “disagree”, “this doesn’t contribute”, “this is factually wrong” etc.). It wouldn’t prevent this sort of voting brigade, but it would discourage it a tiiiny bit (you’d need more clicks per downvote), and make it more obvious.

Yup - it is, partially, Popper’s paradox of tolerance.

However there’s a second risk that I mentioned there, that Popper doesn’t talk about: that the mechanisms and procedures used to get rid of the intolerant might be abused and misused, to hunt the others.

I call this “witch hunting”, after the mediaeval practice - because the ones being thrown into the fire were rarely actual witches, they were mostly common people. You see this all the time in social media; specially in environments that value “trust” (i.e. gullibleness) and orthodoxy over rationality. Such as Twitter (cue to “the main character of the day”), Reddit (pitchfork emporium), and even here in Lemmy.

[from your other comment] There is another solution. Make it so witches cannot cause harm, everyone gives a little bit to make everything work for everyone.

It is trickier than it looks like. We might simplify them as “witches”, but we’re dealing with multiple groups. Some partially overlap (e.g. incels/misogynists vs. homophobic people), but some have almost nothing to do with each other, besides “they cause someone else harm”. So it’s actually a lot of work to prevent them from causing harm, to the point that it’s inviable.

It happens before the label. When you start seeing a witch flying on your sky every night, you’re already leaving.

In a few cases it is a matter of purity = orthodoxy, indeed. In some it’s simply stupidity: failure to realise that those things rely on a point of reference. And in some it was simply “it’s understood in the context anyway, so… meh”.

Still kind of amusing for outsiders.

For some people, if you reject Leninism you’re right wing.

It goes deeper: sometimes being Leninist is not enough.

I used to be part of a socialist party, split into many “tendencies” (sub-parties? Dunno how to translate it). The way that we often referred to the largest tendency? “The right-wing of the party”.
