post cute girls to fight the turmoil

Hello yes this is ToN

Oh that method
it is pretty much the best possible, mixing the jefferson method and its derivates and shit
it just would complicate the counting process, not to mention lenghten it greatly too
I don't know of any countries actually using it

But seriously, jumping from past the post to that...
maybe should've had a stepping stone phase first.

I'd kind of like to see a small-scale test of it.
Maybe on a city-level government first to see how much it complicates and how it affects vote distribution.
Maybe I should mail John Tory and see if he wants Toronto to give it a test drive, hoh hoh hoh.

Some parties are pushing for it here, but...
not gonna happen, the jefferson derivate favours the larger parties and disfavours the small ones, so it isn't happening in near future.
Not to mention

can we talk about the stupid virgin-killer-sweater meme?
cause i'm not a fan

Why not about the serial drowner?

What's not to love?

>>11835
You can talk about it by explaining to me what it is
Out-of-the-loop desu

Actually, are these okay under spoilers?

>>11838
They're cute sweaters

>>11842
Fair enough

Sorry Rika

Everything is okay, there are no more rules.

I'm not Samu but I'd pass the first and fail the second image.

the fuck is this supposed to be?
mix between the boob window sweater and naked apron?
Silly as shit

HAHA DELETED

>>11839
That one is a bit too much.

I wonder will we ever learn the truth behind trump's hair.

It looks like it wants to be a mullet.
How gross.

is it fake?
is it an epic combover
is it some super tech secret hair transfer?
or does he drain hair from other people like a vampire?

Hmm maybe I should actuall sleep tonight

I know that song so well.
I have listening to most of the AKB48 songs way too much.
Also watching Akbingo.

Potatos are waiting for you marsh!

>>11857
Ugh.
Never again.
NEVER AGAIN.
The 6:00am starts in the middle of winter
The half-the-adult-mimum-wage pay
Nothing but shitkicker bogans for coworkers.

I'll starve before I go back to the vegetable packing factory.

Then go work on a potato farm

>>11858
go wait tables

I have a job, cunt..

And I'll have better internet soon too. 1000G a month. 80mb/s.
But I gotta wait for the technician to hook it up.
So until then it's PHONE TETHER.

potato factory better
especially if potato used to produce glorious votka
potato make man stronk and man who drink votka more stronk
stronkman do many pushups
make country proud

>>11862
>data cap

The only time I'd ever gotten anywhere close to 1000g is when I was actively trying to torrent as much as humanly possible every hour of the day.
I think I'll be fine.

Judging from my phonedata, using this laptop I do about 200gb a month easily
and if I was using my desktop I think that is anything between 300-500

Isn't where you live filled with rip off internet and data caps.

Isn't that new zealand?

I am pretty sure aussies have like only one company or something that serves them and everything super expensive.

Well both are south of tropic of cancer so...

Stralya is catching up with the rest of the first world.
In the cities you can get adsl2 for an okay price.

I bet eu soon makes some kind of law that fucks up finnish internet.
Cause that is all eu does
fucks up the border-minor countries over

Eastern Europe has surprisingly great internet
Bucharest has google fiber tier internet for $15 a month.

>>11875
I think they layed it themselves
The reason it's so good is because they started out with modern infrastructure, none of that crap about having to replace old copper lines

>>11877
It may be some company then, I don't know
I figured something on that scale would be done by the government.

I wonder who built their infrastructure.

>>11874
reminder that in bucharest 15 dollah is like 60 dollah in comparison to average wages and cost of living differences

>>11874
Sure about that?
For example finnish companies have built like internet infrastructure of like 10 african countries and telia-sonera practically owns the baltic states when it comes to internet
I wouldn't put it past some larger comapny going there after profits.
With no existing network it is easy to lay down a modern infrastructure and with lower cost of local labour it doesn't even become that big an investment, compared to owning/having privilege of using the national network

I want to play the new fire emblem.
It's 2/2 in Japan so where is it

have you preordered?

>>11874
>done by state
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

>>11880
*contracted out by the state

>>11878
Sleep until it comes out in the US!

That ain't how it works.
Like here is a story of fibre cables being installed
>state does water piping renovation and tores open street
>state contracts company to fix electrical layout and tores open street 1 month after they are rebuilt
>state contracts company to renovate district heating 2 months after streets were rebuilt
>local housing company installs fiber while streets open (contracts a company to do it)
>isp tears open streets 2 months after streets were rebuilt to install fiber to whole area anyhow
>water pipe explodes and streets are torn open once more a less than month after they were rebuilt
>a half a year later they just tear open all the streets in the area and install new asphalt
That was a fun year of EFFICIENCY

>>11879
It's a phone game so there is no preorder.
though there is another new fire emblem that I do have preordered, that won't be out for months though.

>>11883
Is what why you finally bought a new phone?

>>11884
No, I've been using a practically destroyed iphone for quite some time now.
It did spur me to finally go to the store and get a new phone though.

what are you using now?

I got a galaxy S7

>>11887
Must be nice to have all that DISPOSABLE INCOME

>>11889
Well, I felt a little bad because it is a pretty nice and expensive phone
but I've been using a crappy iphone 1 for years
so it's fine to get a nice phone

>>11890
Unforgivable decadence.

Sometimes you have to spoil yourself.

>>11891

>>11889
didn't you just travel across asia...

>>11887
oh nice
how do you like it?

>>11892
You're doing a good job at it.
>>11894
Hey man... That was like CHARACTER BUILDING or some shit.. - Good for the soul.
Not MINDLESS CAPITALISM

Time for sleep

nigth ton.

I gotta say in terms of eu4 stability events decadence is quite amusing whenever it happens to me
"In periods of prosperity and peace, while people were happy and secure, there was a tendency for them to gradually become less productive and lazier over time."
Whenever it pops up, I have most likely just waged 20´+ years of practically nonstop war and have been in peace maybe max 10 months

>>11895
It's a pretty nice phone.
It does a lot compared to my old one.

I doubt it can compare with my off-brand Chinese model from an Indian Market.

Wonder what kinds of phones are in china nowadays
nokia used to be a big thing there, but then china went "ya know we could easily just have domestic phones on our markets"

Go Vivo or go home.

get a jolla

>>11902
Huawei is apparently a bit like Samsung-tier in China.

India was producing some domestic phones as well.
I got one of them because it was pretty cheap for the specs it had.
It was like a 4500ah battery, 1.5ghz processor. and it only cost about $120.


Unfortunately, next to your car, your smartphone is the biggest factor in determining your worth as a person over there, so if you don't have Apple or Android people will look down on you as dirt under their shoe.
Good luck breaking into that market.

I mean Samsung. Not android.

a single 1,5ghz processor
and 120 tag?
what a robbery

dual core.

Actually it was 1.1 and quad core.
This was it:
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/lyf-wind-4-3495

The biggest downside (and this was a pretty big downside)
was because if the way it's built it was cheaper just to write-off the phone and replace it than replace the screen after I smashed it.

I have never managed to smash a screen
how do people keep doing that

Then Shirou chose Saber over Rin I threw it down on some rocks.

That's the danger of loading up your phone with media.

I like the phone though.
I think I can do neat things with it.

Yes rika. Good job. Clever buying.

Well I did once break a phone with an agressive hard reset, but that was the build in feature in nokia phones, so it should've have broken.

A lot of things I own/use seem to break.
I don't know why that would be though.

Nokia phones had a feature that if it fell on floor, the battery would eject itself
dunno if it was intentional design feature, but practically 90% of the phones they made did that.
And it actually made them more damage resistant.

Welp, when myu phone dropped that time it took the battery connector with it
>>11919
the battery case opening and batteyr springing out spread the force somehow?
I dunno, but quite few nokia phones of the past broke from falling down and they all did the battery ejection so it kinda feels like an intentional thing.
*almost no
would be a better choice of words.

what would be the logic behind making that intentional?

either that or a design flaw nobody ever bothered to fix.

Well once they removed it and made their lumias, they just died out
though everyone knows microsoft ran them down on purpose

Microsoft wouldn't do something mean like that
bill gates has a nice smile

Fire Emblem isn't out though

>>11922
Kauppalehti's journalists Pekka Nykänen and Merina Salminen "Operation Elop 'book calculations, Elop worked for Nokia as CEO of 1 020 days. When Nokia's losses are distributed every day, fell Nokia owners of property EUR 18 million per day throughout the period of Elop's CEO period
a quick google translation from finwiki

before becoming ceo of nokia, elop was on microsoft paylist
and returned back to it after resigning
and then microsoft bought nokia's cellphone part + the attached staff

Cats always look like that.

i've been looking forward to this night for a whole week

It's nice and mellow.
I'm listening to it now.

It's important to assert yourself.

>old friend that I haven't seen for nearly 2 years
>Invite him over to dinner
>buy a $25 cut of lamb

>he just texted me that he's not coming.

well fuck you too.

>he cat owner said he now has eight cats left after his furry friend went to the bathroom on the wrong man's property.

So there's plenty more where that came from

>i killed your cat but you have eight others so it's cool
I wonder if this excuse also works with people.

The title is a bit misleading too. It was a BB gun. 'Shot' implies a real firearm.

I mean.. the cat still died
but that's beside the point.

Winter is the worst
It's so fucking cold every morning and it takes forever to heat my room back up

aww, Diddums.

They had these ads everywhere in Singapore
and they were so retarded I took a picture of one.

They're ads for watches
but nobody in them is ever WEARING A WATCH

hey guys i found a great image that definitely you should look at because it's really great and you'll love it i'm sure

10/10 good picture

Post it when Doc is around. He loves musclegirls.

i hate them
i think they're disgusting
but i'm always in for a good laff

They're unnatural.
You have to take a lot of steroids and stuff to be able to build that kind of muscle.

taters???

>>11951
that's just what bitter weak people say.

samurai, rate this anime waifu

LABEL HER WORTH WITH NUMBERS
DO IT

14645745

she looks a little too young to be wed

the artist said she's 20

oh ok
i rate her 1 paacento

why can't they release new episodes every day

because the animators are still mendokusai humans dess
soon too be replaced with hayai roboto

>>11961
ethics question maybe?
is it ethics?

if the anime that robots produce is still good enough to be worth watching
then is it better that they do it instead of humans?

it depends on if there support structures for jobless humans out there i guess

but i think there will always be human-directed animations, just the low-level grunt work will be automated

This is just like that book by that guy.


Player Piano.


Couldn't you pretty much reduce successful anime to a computer algorithm right now anyway

shit I gotta work

Works

>>11964
it seems close
someone could train neural nets on existing anime, marking the keyframes
then feed the neural net a series of original keyframes and see if it can do the inbetweening work

>>11964
Storytelling is a far more complicated creative technique than producing aesthetically pleasing sounds though.
There are physical reasons for why certain combinations of notes sound nice, and some sound unnerving, and so on.
But something like storytelling is extremely subjective and not exactly easily defined.

>>11967
This would be an interesting way for things to go, because it wouldn't drive animators out of work.
It would just allow animators to spend more time drawing beautiful keyframes.

And also yield some humorous QUALITY when the neural net gets it wrong.

>>11968
Yeah but who wants to watch anime with a compelling story anyway.

>the new software program, Adobe Anime Akiba Pro makes the creation of full-length anime series of professional quality easily capable from your home computer

>>11970
I never said anything about compelling!
I think the hardest wall for a storytelling AI to overcome would be for things to make sense.
And I don't just mean characters acting or things happening irrationally. I mean like biscuit tomatoing the Libya kind of nonsense.

If it doesn't make sense, just label it as intentionally complex and abstract.

-Welcome to Modern Art.

Problem solved.

When was the last time you saw a piece of modern art being discussed as heartily and as heated as some popular, successful anime though.
If you can't climb that hurdle then you can't make a piece of successful animation through AI.

I've seen people at the National Gallery get into a fist fight over whether the Red blob or the Yellow blob would make a better waifu.

Maybe so, but that pales in comparison to the amount of shitflinging that goes on with a colour wars anime.

YOU HAVE TO PICK A WAIFU WHO WILL ABSOLUTELY DIE IN 5 YEARS
WHO DO YOU CHOSE

>>11976
But those are the people who probably couldn't care less if a story makes sense anyway.
Just stuff a heap of meek, submissive moeblobs in a harem and call it a day.

I think all the successful harems have had a coherent plot to them.
It might be inane and randomly drawn

out because serialization, but they make sense.

I mean, maybe a GOOD harem (if there is such a thing)
but we're not talking quality anyway.
We're talking factory line production that the robot overlords could churn out around the clock.

Just have a generic protagonist that autists can self-insert as and a smattering of cute girls who all crave his dick despite his lack of outstanding qualities.

There. I've just saved anime.

We're talking successful anime here scrub.
Your own terms.

>>11981
there's some pretty good shows out that that fit the harem checkbox
konosuba, for instance, is technically a harem

The point isn't that there aren't a few harems out there worth watching.
Just that machines could probably write a shitty one if they had all the right inputs.

>>11982
success doesn't have to come from quality.
That's why you scrape the bottom of the barrel and appeal to the lowest denominator.

>>11986
Ain't that the truth

Every hour without Fire Emblem is living agony.

That's true, but you still shouldn't impersonate me!

All the smartphone games and new anime in the world can never fill the gaping void in my life.

"Living agony" and "void in my life" really aren't Rika phrases.
Those sound more like Marsh phrases.

Personally identifying me through my IP is shitty moderating.
I'm telling Samurai.

I don't need mod-goggles! It's obvious just by the way you write.

Anyway, are there anime friends around?
What's on tonight?

>>11993
You're identifiable through your use of phrases!

It's a little insulting then..
that you'd think that 'gaping void' and 'living agony' are typical things I'd say.
Like I'm some sort of EDGELORD.


This is just like the time I said I liked Sylvia Plath and you said you'd expect that of me.

Are you going to CONDEMN me?
For having a COMPLICATED SOUL and asking the BIGGER QUESTIONS

They're very Marsh phrases.
Not that that's a comment on your quality of life!
Just that you write at a high level.

>>11994
THE GOOD STUFF
can you give us time though

>>11998
Well thank you.

Clearly you know the right way to go about stroking my ego.

Oh, looks like you managed to het one.

BANG. YOU FUCKING IDIOT
IT WAS MARSH THE WHOLE TIME

I've been alt-tabbed
I should have realized it was you when I could smell the booze and hookers on the post though

>>12015
Oh, I see.
Well I guess you can watch it again in crappy vision then!

I have watched it for the first time.
Thrice.
It was one of the options for the in-flight movie on the way back from Japan.

>720p
>Crappy

I mean it's not 4K but it's still high definition.

The one on top is the quality we have now.
The bottom one is the old, shitty Chinese 480p rip.

Can you believe my school wants $350 for a years parking-permit
It's a fucking patch of ground..

That's like a dollar a day!
And you don't even use it the whole year!

I only have classes three days a week anyway.

Looks like it's back to PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Live on the street outside the school, dipshit.
Saves time AND money.

A couple of years ago some cunts actually built a teepee like thing out of branches and leaves on the nature strip behind the school.
I'd totally go for that.
Except I think they were doing it as some sort of stunt and had prior permission.

>>12029
Well it wasn't initially a dump for the degenerates
It just sorta happened I guess

Mostly because I don't complain about stuff openly so I don't tell people to fuck off
So they ended up there cause nobody else wants them on their table

How much does pay parking usually cost in other countries?
I feel like it should be cheaper here since there's so much FUCKING SPACE. I feel like it's not though.

birds of a feather

Wow mean

anmeg

Oh shit there's an open position as a waiter or something nearby
Imma go there on my way back from work

Bit of a detour but if I can get outta here that'd be ace

Do you think you're a good fit for a job like that?

There are a couple of people I know who work as waiters and they don't stop bitching about how awful it is.

>>12050
I'm a good fit for 'a job'
I bitch a lot, but I know how to convincingly be sociable

Also it PAYS
Because in Norway, even waiters are paid fairly well
No tipping culture to speak of though

But it probably won't really tolerate if you skip as well.

I'd skip way less, probably not at all, with an actual job I can not feel like a failure for having
Being here is torture for my ego because I didn't get hired or anything. I got this through the government, and my ego doesn't accept it
Also I don't get much money here

>>12048
there's a thread please pay attention

>>12055
Well go for it.
Don't let your dreams be dreams~

But BACK TO THINGS THAT COST TOO MUCH MONEY

How is it that a six-inch Subway Sandwich costs only $2 less than a Footlong.
It's got half the toppings.

How did nobody go "guys this is a really inconvenient way to measure stuff" during the development of the imperial system

You know Subway actually Registered '6-Inch'
It's got a little (r) after the word

Like you can copyright a measured number

How is it inconvenient?

A foot isn't even CLOSE to the length of a foot

Just like Cadbury registered a shade of purple.
Like they own a certain spectrum of visible light

>purple
>on the spectrum

Light is every colour.

Yeah but purple literally doesn't exist

Yeah?
Hallucinating. I see purple shit everywhere.

*I must be hallucinating.

>Purple is a color intermediate between blue and red.[1][2] It is similar to violet, but unlike violet, which is a spectral color with its own wavelength on the visible spectrum of light, purple is a composite color made by combining red and blue.[3

Purple doesn't actually exist on the spectrum

Fucking semantics.
It's made of red and blue which both occur on the spectrum.
It's still a naturally occurring colour

It's not like there's a PURPLE factory in which Cadbury made and designed the colour purple

Colors in general are pretty fun
Our eyes are more sensitive to green than red or blue for example, so green stuff that's objectively just as bright as some other blue thing looks way brighter

Which old TVs apparently adjusted for when everything was monochrome
It's cool

That is interesting.

But it doesn't change the fact that being able to legally own certain colours is a bullshit concept.

I think the grayscale option in photoshop does it automatically too

>last episode is just a recap of the last five episodes
What a disappointing ending to an otherwise decent fantasy series.

inseminate

No you don't

what a loser

i think that's my favorite haruna pic
i think that's my favorite kongou-class pic actually

I like the one with Kongou in a t-shirt with the UK flag, but actually it's the Japanese symbol for rice
I don't have it on my phone though

This is the best Kongou class picture

that's not peaceful

Yeah but it's cool.

my favorite images are those that evoke a feeling of comfort and serenity

>>12106
I didn't say it was your favorite Kongou class pciture.
I said it was the best.

melancholy is also good

>>12110
the best for you maybe

now pay attention to the anime thread and be orange for konosuba

i'll be back inside in a second

See you bang

deadmau5 streams on twitch.
Wow, I didn't know that.
Also, I've never seen him before without the hat.

are you gonna reroll for a 5* unit

I'm not big on rerolling because it's boring.
You can upgrade them later.

but you gotta work for it

No you don't.

yeahhh
you have to make them strong

It's a mobage it's easy to just put minimal effort in and reap the long-term benefits.

I don't have a lot of patience for rerolling though.

>>12278
ar eyou gonna play
its pretty smooth
the game

Maybe.
I'm running F/GO right now and that might be enough for me.
If I do more than one mobage my interest in playing them drops doubly.

whats the first Drake song that comes to mind

Uh.
I don't now if -know if I know any Drake songs.

well you're pretty uncool

I did answer your question though!
Zero is still an answer!

I think it was hotline bling

I don't know the lyrics to either one, nor what they sound like.
If you played the instrumentals I would have no idea they were those two songs

Because when pop music is as popular as his is, I actively avoid it.
Cause 99% of the time it's shit and 1% it's good enough not to immediately kill myself upon hearing it.

the best drake song is Controlla

We got to get out of this place

And my Wisdom of TN is finally complete

THEY ARE THE PANZER ELITE
BORN TO COMPETE. NEVER RETREAT

GHOST DIVISION

I'd have posted Erwin for that but I couldn't find one

Is there any more gup coming out anytime soon?

No

Fug

Why is the main character always so boring in these kinda shows anyway?

What, miho isn't that boring

She's pretty boring

Especially when compared to the rest of the cast

You just like special needs characters

Mio is like the second most popular after Saori though

But that is a good question, why is the mc quite oft quite bland in these shpws?
They aren't "insert self in mc", but waifu shows, so faför?

In strike witches too
Brave, also

A bit in saki too
And even gainax airsoft

In C3 all the characters were pretty interesting

Yeah, bur mc mostly because "is she gonna schoolshoot?"

There's also that gungirl show where galil was best gril, but at least Mc was a little interesting

Yeah funco is quite bland, but cute

Maybe it's a running gag?
Or maybe the mc just can't be very interesting in her own right because then it's hard for the rest of the cast to shine through

Also she was only straight girl in the show

I think a lot of shows with an eccentric cast of characters will have futsuu character as the MC.
Or relatively futsuu I guess. It helps to contrast the ridiculousness of the other characters, and the character would be completely unneeded if they were off on the side.
Plus they need someone to be the tsukkomi. It is Japan after all.

>>12330
One of two on screen orgasms too
Japan pushing the boundaries

>>12331
Yeah, that's likely the case
It's a bit annoying but I guess there is a part of each fanbase who want a bland gril too

But it doesn't seem to be the case in shows that are JUST about the girls, which is odd

All of these shows have a common thread of being about something else, but also everyone involved is a kawaii girl

>>12305
But he was still hungry...

I guess it's important for the audience to have someone they can relate to, too
Hard to give exposition about the world if everyone is already on the same page on the show

A blank slate is a really good learning environment too.
Yeah you're on the same page here.

There's some exceptions like with Saki, but the exceptions also usually have decent extenuating circumstances anyway.

There's usually not a normie girl in harem shows though, I think
Somewhat, maybe, but not Yoshika levels of bland and normal, that's for sure

>Onodera
>Shinobu
>Haruna

LN harem stuff tends to be a bunch of exaggerated harem girls.

>>12340
Shinobu as in Love Hina!

Shinobu as in bakemono?

Oh right
I'd have said Naru for that, really

Violent tsundere doesn't really fit for bland and normal for me.

I mean it's a bland and normal trope, but it's not a bland and normal character.

Yeah that's true
Shinobu is basically a loli though so I dunno

Kitsune is sorta normie outside the dri-
Actually scratch that, she's the most sexually aggressive girl in the show aside from naruclone

Yeah she kind cuts it close.
But she has a lot of Yamato Nadeshiko traits, which is usually how I pinpoint the normal-y girls in a series.
Onodera from Nisekoi was similar too.

Makoto would be an OK fit if she wasn't so paranoid around men

I guess that's another argument for why these bland characters pop up a lot.
Yamato Nadeshiko is a long-running Japanese female "ideal", which tends to be a demure, reserved, respectful woman.
Basically very neutral in tone and not engaging in their own agency.

To be seen, not heard
Is the most apt summary of the type i think

I wonder what the gender ratio is for authors in Japan.
Literature, both in academic and popular pursuits, can really have subtle but powerful effects on a culture.
And women and men tackle writing very differently.

This is totally tangential by the way.

Mio would have made a good MC for gup, now that I think about it
She's super into tanks so her rating wouldn't be weird either

>>12349
I'd say

>>12349
Do you think there are less or more than in other comparable nations?

Ranting*

>>12349
Male dominated as japan was patriarchal more heavilu and longer than wesr
Why is ctrl+something a googlesearch quick key on chrome ffs

>>12352
No clue.
But I wonder if it might have some kind of effect if there's a particular dominance.

>>12354
That holds more weight once they hit industrialization though, since during the "Classical" Japanese era, both genders participated in the creation of art.
During that time the only people that had time to create were the nobles, and it was considered a suitable past time for nobles to make art.
I think the author of Tales of Genji was female.

Spending too long thinking about the influence of gender ratios is a slippery slope.

Before you know it Glaciers are sexist.

Global warming is racist because black people live in shitter places

>>12355
Ryujin no Ken O kure

>>12356
I think it's interesting.
How much do we shape our culture, and how much does it shape us?
Where does the cycle start?

Dude Gorillaz on the radio

Of course, it's the ONE Gorillaz song ever played on the radio

Feels good

>>12359
Sure it's interesting.
I think so too.

Gender politics is just a dicey issue and it's hard to have a reasonable debate since a lot of people who are attracted to the subject are mostly just interested in blaming others for oppression instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.

>>12363
Politics and political attitudes are an offspring of culture.

Geez fuck man. I wasn't talking about politics I was talking about culture.
I'm not looking to blame or exonerate anyone here.
Both genders are responsible for how culture has turned out and how culture has turned us out.

>>12362
Yeah and I can talk about a parent without talking about their child.

>>12361
That's the one

And now back to our regularly scheduled shi
T disguised as music

fortuna favet fortibus
aa I love the feeling when the numbing starts to fade and your brain goes
waaait a minute there is a HOLE where a tooth used to be
time to send PAIN

>>12363
Alright. Fair enough.

Well like TN said, it was probably mostly male influenced since Japan was patriarchal for a long time.
The only thing that makes me think maybe otherwise is that reading/writing maybe was seen as a more appropriate activity for woman than other areas.

But it's all just speculation and guesswork. You can never really prove the source of things like social attitudes.

>>12365
Are you going to start bitching about Kpop again?

>>12355
a but past meiji era they implemented the "tradition" back so women were pushed quite heavily into house wifes
and that still reflects there
just thing othe Office Lady position, which is practically useless in terms of cost-efficiency.
The post afterall partially exists for women to flaunt themselves to men with prospecting carreers in good companies.
Basically, the more intelligent you were, the better company you could get hired in to flaunt yourself to better earning men.
Of course times have changed and for example in terms of mangaka especially in the doujin field, the so called "gender equality" has been reached.

But for example japan has no silly "gender equality" rules that we westerns have, so they don't hire women just because a rule states they need to.

>>12368
No I can't even make out the lyrics in the back here
I just know it's pop music and it's shit

New table
Further from the radio

>>12369
also since japan had no WW1 experience in the same way as the west, there was no "women work in the factories"
and their ww2 experience too was bit different in that field too.

Just sleep away the pain.

I was speaking to one of the Indian guys I met at the Mountaineering Institute.

He's from a modern, educated, middle-class household, so his parents aren't going to force him to have an arrange marriage.

But he wants one anyway because he's too beta around women and he wants his parents to find a girlfriend for him.

>>12389
>>12390
don't care about pain, I just want feeling back in my mouth so I can drink proper

Yeah the worst part of dental surgery is the anaesthetic.
Not having feeling in your mouth is an incredibly frustrating experience.

one annoying is cause they had to drill it a fuckton, the doc kinda pressed the drill occasionally against my not-so numbed upper lip
and the drill got like super hot
not leaves a burn hot, but quite uncomfortable pressed against the skin hot
and whatcha gonna do about it numbed lying on a chair with two people's hands in your mouth

oh codeine+ibubrofein paink illers
am I in the codeine club now?

is it liquid

this reminds me of rika for some reason
>>12400
nah pills
and just 30mg per pill

>>12401
then no you can not sit with us
the codeine club is exclusive

What kind of shit was it even
some kind of universal cureall or?
I just remember maany on moo having it prescribed to them

you are not from here so i cannot blame you that you dont know
however i dont have to disclose shit just stay out the VIP area

>>12398
SOCIAL PROGRESS

>>12404
That is what the alleyway behind the cool-kids club is called, eh

just remember snitches get stitches
now back off to the kids table

I already have stiches in my mouth biatch
bring it on my stand will beat you to pulb

so you want some on the outside to match or what

Yup
like a good pattern

But welp jokes aside, how much is codeine used over there
it is kinda semi-legal here, outside of prescribed medicine not used at all and even then its in low amounts
like these are 200mg of ibu and 30 mg of codeine, so you can't even eat many of them without risking painkiller death

they hand it out
its used in a common popular culture drug referenced to as 'lean,' which is a warm body-high associated with marijuana and slow-jam parties
they take the liquid codeine and mix it with sprite
but i prefer squirt because im a fucking trend setter

So they just sell codeine extract in bottles over the counter?

well its not over-the-counter usually, but you can get it that way if you're in the right place and time
but i mean its practically easy as heck to get
>>12415
i dont know about that aint nobody bangin or rollin on some flu shot

And next you tell me you hand over antibiotics way too loosely

lel last time i got vpen-antibiotics they had an expiration date of 2 years
now it is half a year

not hard to get those here
not hard to get anything here
dabs

Oh they changed the rules
last time it was 2 hours before or after a meal
now it is 30 min before, 2h after
makes it a lot easier to take

maybe im just so cool i wanna die

Also, amusingly when the first part of the tooth got removed
it flew off and I caught it with my tongue and then handed it to the docs like that
they were a fun pair of doc and nurse cracking jokes and being all relaxed, despite the thing clearly taking way longer than a normal tooth removal.
>>12421
cause they removed a wisdfom tooth and it needed to be cut to pieces

brush your damn teeth how you gonna let it get so bad you gotta drill that shit
i payed attention nigga i brush my shit
>>12420
oh thats a different story
that happened to me, i got the good 'ol surgery though
they told me i woke up in the middle and socked the nurse in the eye

>>12306
see this

I don't know of any normal dental operations that put you under.
Here is all anesthetics and then prodding in your mouth

well if you do private medicine, you can ask to be put under but public is all quick and easy

i think mine was abnormal because my tooth was some kind of janky
i cant remember that well i dont remember when i pay people massive piles of money
>>12425
thank you anonymous

>>12419

>>12424
All 4 of mineh ave had long and wicked roots, with each removal taking more time and more effort to pull
first one was quite easy maybe 5 minutes or so, but they didn't numb me well enough, because of the long roots I felt the whole thing partially
second took about 10 minutes but this time i asked for extra anesthethics because of the previous experience
third one took about 20 minutes and came off in three pieces
the final one was 30+ and 4 pieces

also each operation had more anesthesia than the previous one

Also, this time i Hope these "self-melting" stiches actually melt and don't require me to pull them out

they fucking dont melt im just saying
if your flesh grows wrong, like if it forms a bubble around them, they will become as a time capsule in your oral
and you will later spend many hours with a sharp knife digging them out of the fleshy and bleeding walls of your mouth and gums

coincidentally what does codeine do to you and how much do the "lol let's get high on codeine" takers take it?

I can't believe my laptop has gone and fucked itself already
I'm sure the warranty is around here somewhere, but until I find it I'm going to act like it's gone for good, that way I won't be disappointed when it is.

>>12440
well, you see, the image is funny because they have a recently released LP titled 'Run The Jewels 3,' and a leading track from it is 'Call Ticketron,' which features a production involving a sample from a commercial for Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The song was definitely the top hit of the record, and the image features the repetitive beat as a sarcastic representation of the members of the music group in a literal garden

he gets better on the daily
met him at death grips a couple months back, it was cool
he signed my oversized chain

me and my friend saw him on his tour thingo... for laughs
>>12487
he just talks about music and shit
he did it last year
but I saw him 2012-ish
he'd have no other reason to come here anyway so it's not like I can see him at some random concert

when was that?
what'd he tour for? I'd actually like to see him performance-wise
just to see if he can actually perform publically

>>12486
oh that's not as fun, but i guess i can understand
i record music and i cant play public so
cant expect that of others
you know who i want to meet? frankjavcee for sure
dont give a shit about many of these youtube music people but he's really my kind of dude i think
you dont have concerts there?
oh well i guess most of the ones he goes too are around here

we do but I don't see many reasons to travel to spiderland

I thought you had to be REALLY into the nazi shit to even be considered for the SS?

When you don't care who wins as long as the COMMIES GO AND STAY GO

I like how the SS has their allegiance not as Nazi Germany, but Hitler specifically

"oh well, alteast it is hard to miss"

>>12532
Why does it say nazi germany? Isn't that just germany really?

>>12535
Nazi Germany is usually separated from just Germany in historical stuff for clarity
Cause it's a dictatorial state very different from the state on both sides of its like 10 year reign

>>12535
it's like the difference between america and trump's america

>>12535
basically to be less of anal to modern germany

Also there are fundamental differences between the SIX incarnations of germany we have seen so far.

>>12536
That seems to be not that rare for countries to change a lot through history.

Just call it germany.

Also Nazi Germany expanded HEAVILY

>>12540
Yeah but Germany went from... you know, Germany to COMPLETE RULE BY ADOLF HITLER, and then back to Germany
And his rule is so different from the status quo, it's just separated

I do think it would be fine to just call it Germany regardless though, but this is how it's done

>>12540
Yopu see germany at first was a mix between oligarchy, absolute monarchy and a constitutional monarchy like modern UK
then it was a semi-parliamentary republic
then it turned into a totalitarian state
then it split in two a western heavily militarised parliamentary state and a communist totalitarian state
and then they mixed into the modern abomination

all have quite different constitutions, national mottos, ideas goals and systems
While all are germany, in terms of state structure, governmental system, elections and so on
they are practically different countries.

>>12542
Do the french under napoleon have a term reserved for them as well?

>>12544
Don't think so

why don't we say "caesar's rome"

Oh well if we can't call it germany let's just call current germany nazi germany instead!

>>12543
I still think it's super fun how the Nazi party rose to power completely legally
I mean, after Hitler got out

...they did have the brown shirts fucking shit up, but the votes and everything were legit

Yeah they got that 40% block and then began to spread from there quite efficiently
I mean, just 40%!
a modern day party with 50% of a parliament can't even get their goals through, but nazies took over a nation.
damn efficient bastards.

Are they like the only totalitarian regime to rise to power through legal mechanics?
Like, from a democracy to totalitarian, I mean

>>12549
The Nationalist EFFICIENT Socialism Party

They then went on to bounce back from a post-defeat depression into one of the greatest war machines the world has ever known in the span of a few years
What a dedicated bunch they were

>>12550
Debatable, since they did then outlaw opposition and so on but yeah
Take mussolini, he just marched to rome and had the king declare himself prime minister for life

And while Franco kinda rose to power through the ranks legally, there was the whole CIVIL WAR

>>12552
They outlawed it legally
All the stuff the Nazis did after getting power was technically by the books
Granted, they rewrote the books almost immediately after getting into power, but they didn't break Germany's laws if you ignore the people fucking up newspapers and jewish stuff before they got to power

>>12551
Well, it is quite easy to revigorate an economy and one of the largest industries of the world
I mean, ww1 and the post chaos didn't actually damage the german industry and such.
All they had to do was get the economy rolling

and then the night of the long knives and so on...

Even the holocaust was by the books

Being willing to pick up a rifle if necessary should be a given if you want to vote

Bah
where do you need women in the army really?
they have way lower fighting capacity compared to men.
and also don't fall into the hierarchy that easily as men
and while she-beauty does increase morale it does distract too

>>12592
Women are still excluded as far as I know

>>12594
Oh?
Didn't they make it cover everyone very recently?
I thought that was up for a vote and passed

From what I understand the bill was dropped

>>12591
probably only if our guys die honestly

reuters said that US military officials told them that Trump approved the operation even though there wasn't enough intelligence, support, or backup

So what is the army's stance on trump?
Obama wasn't that popular in general, or atleast that is the image I got.

They got Mattis in charge now, they're gonna love 'im
Mattis is savage as hell

i have heard mixed stuff
some people say the armed forces love trump and others say they hate him
it's probably split like 50/50

I mean, the army and navy did went "fuck you bammers, we ain't going to syria" so...

Hmm is shame I have my life and time's of scrooge macduck buried somwhere atm.
I'd like to read the Scrooge and TR adventures

oh I found a subbed clip
>>>/watch?v=TuOVNMW0P2c

"This isn't chechnya, said general penguin"

"This is Ukraine again, you idiot, how do we keep ending up here by accident?"

"that is because you keep askint natalia-tan for directions, sir"

"Because of how popular fake news got during the election, there should be a government news agency that provides reliably true articles"
...you guys sure you wanna float this idea with Trump at the wheel?

We can just count on our great press secretary, Spicer, to tell us which articles are real, like when he retweets Onion articles for their truthfulness.

>>12608
HEHEHE
ah man I how even if he actually has no intentions to turn murrica into an actual oligarchy or a dictatorship, I love how he trips every "fascist" flag there is

>accidental fascism

It happens

>>12610
Actually that idea is from some liberal

have you ever been so damedame that you convinced the entire country you were a fascist

>>12614
it's called most EU members, though yeah
the general population doesn't/didn't think so

>>12613
>gov owned news outlets
>from liberal
I love how this is exact opposite of europe

>>12616
What?
The left are the ones who like putting taxes into stuff

liberal doesn't really mean left

and vice versa conservatist doesn't mean right
social convervatism is a movement afterall and our social democrat party switches betwen liberalism and conservatism every few decades

Conservatiism here is the left because the right are the ones trying to change stuff

But I meant "liberal" as it's used in the US, so the left

I think most conservatism party here is the central aligned parties
the Central, swedish party and christian party

Well I was speaking of actual "liberalism" as a political alignment and movement
and not murrican lalala stuff

>>12622
Oh yeah those are definitely the right
technically

But I love how Populist is the new fascist
maybe I should change from TouhouNazi to TouhouPopulist

The US haet populism because it's collectivist

But I really am a mess in terms of political alignment
like where do I even belong
I believe in maximum individual rights and absolute freedom of speech with no limitations
I believe in a sufficiently large state that can provide large and wide covering social security net and state funded public education, health care and such
and at the same time I believe that the best way to build an economy, especially to support such social care, is to leave it to the free market
free-er the better.
And of course I am an avid supporter of nationalism

>>12625
No, I mean EU
just look at Donald Tusks' statements recently
or Junkers
jungers*

Well the EU just hates nationalism in all its form because it's antithetical to their very existence
Much like a cave-in hates support beams

And also I support the constant maintenance of a sufficiently large military power and support military action as diplomatic tool if necessary
and I think state and military should be more intermingled
And while democracy is best, the cabinet should be formed from the people with most merit and such, forming a kind of a "dictatorship of the most intelligent" in a way
Only people with sufficient qualities or attributes would be allowed to form the government, though most decisions if not all would still go through a parliament of some sort that is elected by the people.
And of course the cabinet members are elected too, but not everyone could apply.
And of course I support a powerful head of state to keep the parliament and cabinet in check for that matter.
The three pointed balance with cabinet, parliament and head of state competeing with eachother and keeping eachother in check.

basically
hos could dismantle the
hmm should actually give that some thought

Hmm I guess the problem is that while you can easily give parliament the power to impeach the HoS and dismantle cabinet
and also HoS the power to dismantle cabinet
but you can't give HoS or cabinet the power to dismantle the parliament
but there should be a way for the parliament to be called off too if they are too shitty...
A referendum that the HoS/cabinet can call upon?

Maybe you can just have what amounts to the US senate and bank on the rest of the country not going along with it if they make a version of the Hitler Power law

Hmm, but I would love a system where every body holding even a bit of power can be taken down if need be.
It would also add pressure to the people working for the country to do their best, as they too could be fired
Not just "won't get a n+1 term" but proper fired

Like you can pass as many laws as you want
If the Military goes "...naw, the fuhrer 2.0 is going too far fam", what are they gonna do, pass another law?

And if they do shady shit like instate themselves as permanent rulers... there's like a few hundred of them
Nigga pick up a rifle and take them out

Obviously, there are huge problems with it, but I mean
Really, the whole concept of seizing power is a bit over my head because if you're the majority you're not really gonna be stopped by anything anyway, and if you aren't... how would you even take power even if it was open for it?
The nazi party happens again and writes a law making another Hitler, people could just go "you know what, fuck that" and go against it
The majority left standing

if the party seizing power has enough enforcing power, they can do whatever they want
I mean, it already is calculated weirdly that like 1 police officer per 1000 people or 10000 is enough

>>12637
But majority is gonna have that anyway, no matter how you fuck around with shit
Well, as long as it's 51%+

Yeah but this is where it goes from basic political shit to a completely different field

Yeah it's complicated
Too complicated for me to really get my head around it

I understand it but not well enough to explain
especially in the limited space of imageboard

I have a rough idea, too, but I don't really get it completely

I get it when you just have all the guns, cause you don't need a lotta guys then
But in the US the guns are pretty evenly distributed

Illusion of power is much more important than the actual power
as long as the people buy the illusion, it doesn't matter what the facts are

I guess there's also the whole thing with "I don't agree with this, but this did happen according to the system I accepted before"

>>12643
I'm not sure if they're evenly distributed in the US or not.

>>12646
I mean in the sense that people definitely HAVE a lot of guns

Like if the government goes rogue, it ain't gonna take another country intervening to supply the resistancce
They HAVE guns

NPR says 1 in 3 households have guns
oh yeah
definitely
there were 300 million guns in the US in 2015

we have enough guns to give every man, woman, child, and just-born baby a gun pretty much

Almost, anyway
You've got like 40m extra people who I guess won't get a gun

well arm the ablebodied and you have an army that numbers in tens of millions
a ragtag group of guerilla fighters with no discipline, but a force big enough to make any government think twice

>>12650
THEY'RE PROBABLY ILLEGALS ANYWAYS

to be fair there are probably easily 40million people we would not want to have guns due to mental illness haha

FUCKING ILLEGALS

Mental illness is basically a plus in guerilla warfare though

is hard to eat
I wish I could just IV this shit

>>12655
Depends on the way they're mentally ill

I doubt more than 10% of the US is so fucked up you can't point them at a guy and tell them to pull the trigger for the motherl- republic

oh right
my usual "liquid lunch" involves alcohol...

>>>/@RT_com/824356190809268224

>>12659
Plenty of them probably are that fucked up
Maybe not 40million but

That's pretty disturbing
That's a lot of people unable to be useful

it is weird, that the open mouthpiece of propaganda russia today is at times more trustworthy and better quality journalism than many western media companies.

There are also factions in the US that will have to be put down afterwards or they'll go after you too
Like feminists

armed crazy feminists
i bet the would shoot themselves though

They'd work with you to get rid of a tyrant they don't like
But afterwards you'd become the tyrant in their eyes

>>12667
As long as the tyrant is one they don't like yeah
If it was another Lenin, they'd be the ones pointing AT you

A female lenin

We must seize the means of production from the men

to prove that you can make a more convincing argument than other people for money

There not being a right and wrong side means the laws are shit

That's the next MYTH

I think it means in civil law.

Embrace both sides being absolutely wrong.

>>12694
but a lawyer's job is to argue his client's case

Page one of the textbook and already my dreams are shattered.

This Education stuff isn't off to a very good start.

Argument is but a fragment of legal counsel

Living proof that following your dreams can end in despair.

I don't want to live in the real world quite yet though
Let me keep dreaming the good dream.

>>12708
Listen dreams are fine and all. Hell, they're practically necessary to get through school. But two years in, start looking for an out.
Not an out as in "What do I do if I fuck up?" but "Where the fuck am I going after I finish?"
Because the worst thing to do is to dream your way into a cardboard box because you liked to sleep in.

I think Law is a lot better at such a thing
Pulling you into a direction that people will throw money at.
>>12711
I didn't want to be a game dev either.

I never wanted to be a lawyer anyway so that's fine. It was always the fallback practical option.

Just nobody ever tell me the statistics on how many armature authors break into the publishing market.

You should look into tax law, unless you need a bachelors in accounting in order to do tax law just like you do in the US.
Assuming you don't have a bachelors in accounting.

Yeah.
For sure. Even if it's not specifically tax law.. something in demand in the private sector. Business law. Contract law... something like that.
That's where the jobs are.

And that's my future. Reading old documents at a desk. Losing my hair. No free time.
The dream.

Intellectual property law is also good, but I would not be surprised if that market gets flooded soon.
Also I meant pays well, not neccesarily that it is ethical.

I could be the guy getting paid to take down YouTube videos.

That would be kind of fun in it's own way I suppose - triggering neckbeards for a living.

>>12719
Yet another dream crushed.

>>12718
That's done by computer 99% of the time.

Will law schools accept you with your grades the way they are?

I had thought he was already in law school?
wait no, that would be wrong
nvm

System is different in 'Syralya. There isn't a separate institution for studying law (unless you count the year or so you need to do to actually pass the bar exam)

I'm just an undergraduate doing a bachelor of law.

>>12720
and how the fuck do you know what my grades are?
I might have done EXCELLENTLY.

So you don't need to get into the school of your university?

>>12723
I asked you once

>>12724
Well I kind of already did. They only let you study it in the first place if you do alright in your tests at the end of Year 12 or have done some other stuff at the University and have PROVED YOURSELF CAPABLE.

>>12725
Yeah. Alright. I have failed a lot of classes
but here's the thing:
After speaking to doctors/psychologists employed by the school I was able to make almost all the fail grades disappear on account of PROBLEMS IN MY PERSONAL LIFE

>>12726
i was only able to do that for one class. So far.
I might be able to get that done retroactively on a few others because of health problems.

>>12726

Why drop

>>12726
Ahh, very nice.

Yeah. Well. It's a bit of a blow to my pride
but it's better than racking up a whole bunch of HECs debt for classes I never attended.

I can even apply for bonus extensions and stuff for assignments now since I'm on the schools official list of DIFFERENTLY ABLED INDIVIDUALS

Infinite debt

infinity is impossible to ever pay back

..Still waiting on that million dollar idea.

Wait, I thought school was free in Australia?

Where is school free...

>>12735
You don't pay upfront.

You accumulate a HECs debt which is taken out of your taxes after you graduate and join the workforce and have enough money to give it back.

>>12737
Do they add interest on it?

>>12737
That is actually quite a clever system.

>>12738
No.
And the sums are affordable. It's not a system designed to earn money.
The government wants an educated public.

But still. It's not totally free. Even if most undergraduates act like is is, since the money won't be owed until far into the distant future.

And you never actually "pay for it"
you just earn less.
as it is not something you ever have to actually pay from your net income, it kinda is never "paying"

>>12741
Yeah.
Pretty much.

Which is also why the government has been talking about changing the system and increasing the fees for the last few years.
Lots of people - especially in shit-to-middle-teir Universities (like mine) don't take it very seriously since they don't see it as their money.

Here the system is practically free, but it shows in everyone's taxes in the end.
and also students are forbidden to earn more than 12k€ a year, which includes the 500€ a month student benefits, so basically you can only earn 6000€ a year if you want to receive the benefits
also there is a student loan system which is 100% interest free, if you do need extra money and can't get a job.

>>12743
And then you join the workforce proper and get slammed with a 40% income tax.
Welcome to Scandinavia.

Not really
But yeah say you earn more than 72k a year, which gives you a bit over 30% tax rate
when you add to that the other fees like social security, pensions, insurances etc.
it does come to 40%

for example few years back someone making about 40k€ a year had a total tax rate of about 30%
it is quite much, but at the same time you get it back through other ways

COMMUNISM

Which is why the system has begun to be questioned in many ways, as people are starting to feel no one actually really benefits from the social security net, aside from leeches and corrupt politicians.
