So in highschool, I was one of those annoying kids that went “why do we have to learn how to analyze poems? We’re never gonna need this in real life” in English (well… German, but doesn’t matter) class.

I’m deeply grateful for my teachers back then to patiently get me to do these things anyways, because there came a point in my life years later where I suddenly understood that those “useless” lessons and hours “wasted” analyzing Goethe and Borchert and Fitzgerald handed me the tools to understand media (and not just literature!) instead of just consuming it.

I hope it’s clear how that relates to the screenshot. More than that though, I sometimes feel like the slew of shit media over the past decade is at least in part to blame on writers/studios/… now assuming people do in fact merely consume. But that’s a rant that’s completely off-topic here, so I’ll shut up now.

I don’t know. I had never seen another magical girl anime before, and it still stood out to me.

The Dvorak symphony or the Yusuke Kishi novel?

If the former, how dare you.
If the latter, … sorry I haven’t read it. おすすめですか。

Yeah, truly.

It’s a beautiful encapsulation of “what the fuck”.

“Madoka Magica” might as well be my trigger phase by now.

LMAO, I might have missed the six fingers, mainly because my eyes went directly to the map with everything from France, Belgium, Germany,… simply labeled “Russland” (Russia).

Ah right, I forgot:

bottom, too

Femboyhead Martin pls.

Das wirkt wie ein Du-Problem, wenn du nur sowas schaust.

That ks for sharing this, this is fascinating.

Maybe the underlying rule is: the more you know about something, the more you are aware of its flaws, making the alternatives you know less about more attractive?

Astrology is not real.

If you use nixos, you basically have to know/learn/use day-to-day the nix language.

nixpkgs are written using nix the language, using concepts mostly familiar from just using nixos.

Basically everyone using nixos is capable of contributing packages.

Just gonna leave this here

Wait I can PET BUMBLEBEES?!

rmpc is great. But TUI, so not for everyone, I know.

Sat idly one day, it popped in my head, I went “huh, neat” and started the paperwork.

Oh, whew! Just grooming then, that’s A-OK!

Thanks, I just woke my partner because I burst out laughing. Comment of the week for me.
