my EVA and Fei-yen are advanced models though and larger ones

>>154355 If we assume that giant robots are manly, then models of giant robots are also manly, because giant robots in general are more manly that normal robots we can also assume tgat the larger a model of a giant robot is the more manly it is. Therefore 1/100 scale model giant robots are manlier than 1/144 scale model giant robots.
>>154356 Oh, this it pretty good so far I feel like the monologue in the middle is a little out of place though
>>154357 The underlying assumption that giant robots are manly is not entirely accurate. Is a giant robot punching another giant robot manly? Maybe. Is a human punching a human manlier? Absolutely. Moreover, MEN don't lose. The biggest robot in a show is always a villain and always loses. How can bigger robots possibly be manlier than smaller ones?

>>154359 It wasn't bad, just felt kind of out-of-place.

I think my family is not the norm in terms of respect and boundaries and politeness. I spend a lot of time at others' houses and I don't really ever see families that are as functional and peaceful as my current household, so my situation is probably a little different when it comes to privacy.

What is the deal with dark axe teams? I have been lead led to believe that the two ways to do dark are emnity and axes.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Yeah Enmity is fist, which means you have a weaker regular attack boost, but have enmity which means as your HP goes down a new attack modifier activates and makes you stronger. Enmity has been weakened since the past though, so // but players with S.Zoi can go to 1 hp instantly so they're at mega strong power because enmity.
Axe has a higher attack stat AND a higher modifier skill, but no enmity I use axes.
Well, I used to use axes, and still do, but now my grid is a strange mish-mash because I like using two bahamuts
Yeah, I don't care about emnity. My team is Vira, Forte, Cag so emnity isn't really good for them since neither Cag or Forte are compatible with enmity teams. I need to build axes with this team.
oh yeah, there's going to be a group watch of Lupin III Bloodshed of Goemon this saturday would anyone like to participate i will make a thread for it if so otherwise it'll just be me and kannagi and quarx
Also Rika, the only useless weapon Celeste can drop is the harp. Horns have the same attack modifier thing as axes but have less good stats. >>154498 Punch Celeste and Celeste Hard and also be rank 50. If you're all those you find the fight back on the first island you started on, not Tiamat's but // Oh Normal Celeste is a raid on her island.
I meant normal Celeste. How come I can't see it even though I'm rank 60?
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
If you go to chapter 24 Celeste should be there. If you want to get the weapons though you'll of course fight Celeste Omega, and if you want to open her raid yourself you go to Zinkentnagheahg or whatever, which is the first island even before Tiamats

They could bring in stuff like the Patlabor MG kits.
>>154537 Super Fumina by itself is a good design. I didn't watch more than two episodes of Try though. I watched episode one and then skipped ahead to Tryon3 because that was actually pretty cool.

>>154543 The stated motivation is that he really didn't want to die But he knowingly signed up for a mission that had a death rate guaranteed to be 7/8 And obviously went through a really intense screening process to be part of the mission
>>154546 If I was stuck on an ice planet I'd just kill myself tbh >knowingly signed up for a mission that had a death rate guaranteed to be 7/8 You could argue that it was out of character to sign up in the first place if he's super scared of death, but I don't think it's that dumb for someone facing certain death to act selfishly The desire to survive can be pretty powerful
Actually when he lied about the viability of his planet, why couldn't they have just like, looked at it from orbit or something? Why did they have to go down to the surface of the planet instead of just sending like a probe or using a big telescope to say "wow this place is full of ice shit's fucked"

I kinda doubt that it will be a big deal in a few decades. The side that loses is always butthurt sore losers. The Republicans were sore losers when Obama won, the Democrats were sore losers when Bush won, it just goes on and on.
>>155227 You can still know about it even if you were young! There was awhile back then when nobody knew what was going to happen because it took a supreme court decision to resolve the election.
It was definitely close. Though I don't know how it would have happened in this day and age since the people this decade are far more inclined to visit violence upon their political opponents.
Probably about the same, Bush and Gore were different sides of the same coin. Gore is already remembered as goofy and inept, so he likely would have just taken the place as the goofy and inept president that happened to have the reigns at the time 9/11 happened. He probably would have also invaded Iraq since it was something pretty much the entire government wanted to do.
The only reason why this could "not be a big deal" is if worse things happen. But even worse things happening, I don't think it's any less of a big deal. I have finished Comey's statement.
I also really don't expect too much to come out of this testimony. ...Rather, I don't think that, even if anything of substance came out from the testimony, that anything will happen because of it. >>155240 That's actually the exact opposite of what I have been hearing because proper investigations take time. But rolling back to what I just said, even if anything was found out, I don't think congress would care.
>>155239 >>155241 While that is true, I think there's a misunderstanding about what an investigation is here.
The point of an investigation isn't to prove someone did something wrong, it's to build the case against them. Let's think about more mundane legal cases for a moment. If a random criminal gets caught with drugs or stealing something, the authorities usually have a very good idea that they've done it. The bulk of the investigation is gathering information to meet the high burden of proof required by the court. Most of the time a person is being investigated, the authorities have no doubt that the perp did it.
Compare that to Trump's investigation - it's been months and months and no one can really clearly state anything that he's done that's illegal.
>>155243 So what illegal acts would you say that Trump is guilty of? I've seen a lot of talk but people still can't really say exactly what it is that he did that's illegal.
And as far as this statement goes, it doesn't seem like FBI was investigating "Trump" anyway. Most of that 'investigating' is really just done by journalists.
>>155251 Do you think so? Do you think there is any legitimacy at all to this collusion with Russia stuff that is at the heart of all of the business with Comey?
>CEO Travis Kalanick has started meditating in Uber's lactation room, as his company spins in a whirlwind of bad press

>>155256 I think the administration was trying to make a smooth transition, and part of doing that would involve being in contact with Russia and trying to be on common ground actual happenings therein are kind of hidden, but the intentions aren't inherently incriminating. it's what an administration is supposed to be doing that's transitioning in and taking over
>>155256 The whole reason I found legitimacy in "investigating" any of it is because a lot of it sounded pretty suspicious. There were things worth looking into. Firing Comey made that incredibly LOUD. And from the statement he released, it sounds like him being investigated (even caused FUCK (Even though he wasn't) caused a moderate amount of paranoia.
>>155259 I think this is a valid statement, and at the heart of all the troubles that the administration is currently having with this Russia stuff. I think they started governing just a little bit sooner than they technically should have. I also think this sort of thing probably happens every time a new president comes in, but this time everybody was out to get Trump.
>>155260 Don't you think that part of the reason it was so loud is because the media made it loud? Comey is a civil servant, it was Trump's right to fire him. To the victor belongs the spoils has been a common practice in US government for a very long time.

>>155262 we're also in a period where there are people who only cognitively understand presidency through the eight years of obama which was not a standard run-of-the-mill presidency and the social platforms have drastically changed in such a short time so i think there are a lot of people right now that want to say "what the hell is going on!!!" because it's different than the expectations they've built i won't really comment on the matter, but a lot of people view obama's presidency as a relatively inactive president, whether he was or wasn't so it kind of makes them feel confused to have an overactive president
>>155262 For me, unfortunately, no. Because I asked this same question around election time. There was a thing going around, although it made little waves, about how the two teams talked with Russians. Simply put, the Clinton team refused to do so at all. And my thought was "Is that normal?" Hillary as the more-experienced politician to have her campaign not answer/return calls. I didn't know to take that as normal or a sign of frustration on her campaign. Fast forward to the future and now we have thoughts of collusion and I get to sit around going "Oh. I guess these things aren't normal."
There are lots of things that may or may not be big deals that you really don't know they are until someone tells you so. The only reason I don't think this is going to be big is because Congress, the only authority with ability to impeach the president, shows zero desire to do any such thing. Also, whether it was "his right" to fire Comey or if everything he's done is technically "legal", that doesn't really remove any reason to look into things.
>>155263 That's interesting. The social platform thing I think is a big thing, people seem to be convincing each other that it is the end of the world. It kind of is creating a phenomenon that feeds itself.
I think things are a lot more volatile than they've been in recent decades too. The peaceful transition of power was kind of touch and go this time. I believe some of this is due to the screeching insanity that is identity politics, though.
>>155264 What would they impeach him for? Obstruction of justice isn't actually something you can impeach a president for. Not that I think he's done that, he simply gace gave a directive to a civil servant, which is something other presidents have done many times.
I do agree that there was a hiccup regarding communicating with Russia too early, but Flynn's head has already rolled for that. Don't you think that's enough, or do you think that there was actually treasonous intent there that justifies ousting more people?

>>155265 re: social platform i won't bleed my information autism all of the place, but real quick i'd point out the happenstance of timing on a few things, about how the big data crews did things the evolution of analytics came at // the political climate started boiling around a time that the evolution of analytics was still kind of finding itself, and it was still commonplace for consumer data analytics to also be the same companies who bought and sold media it was a little young of a time for them to realize that these are two things that functionally have to be independent that's why Moat got so big and stuff like that, because they realized that the ability to analyze data was directly compromised by buying and selling media so what ended up happening was you got some social bubbles in this new platform that were extremely self-feeding, and that's because of that lack of commercial caution
>>155265 They could impeach him for lying for all they care. That's their ability. I do not know if there was or is anything else in there. I just think that with all this paranoia over it, they might as well investigate it and find out. If it goes nowhere, then congratulations. Imagine all of the victory laps one can do after a failure to find anything. >>155269 That congratulations wasn't for you, I meant for him.
月
>>155264 there are reasons someone may not want to be investigated other than that they're guilty of something for instance, it can really hold back important progress that needs to be made on other fronts i'm not saying that's the case in this scenario, but politics is multimanaging a ton of things. it's really hard to try to infer reasons for what's happening e.g. sometimes someone in congress will be a dick about an issue just to hold back progress. doesn't mean they're actually against it, but they need to leverage their choice // voice in order to make something else heard
>>155267 I'm not really looking for congratulations, I don't have a strong opinion of Trump. I think his time in office has been checkered, but I still think he's better than Hillary.
Also, he can't be impeached for lying. You can be impeached for perjury, but not lying. I haven't been following the news closely, but he hasn't perjured himself, has he? The reason Bill ended up in hot water was because he lied to Congress. Not that anything came of that, either. That was mostly conservatives being butthurt and trying to get a Democrat president over nothing.
>>155268 I can understand that. That doesn't really give me much reason to not want to see it followed through.

investigations can be really time-expensive we're potentially talking about slowing the government down to a screeching halt in a time where information is moving faster and the political climate is changing faster than ever it's possibly a self-fulfilling prophecy for everybody that wants trump to fail to throw everything in his way so he can't do anything and then he will fail and nobody really benefits from that other than people getting to say they were right and i'm aware that obama faced the same problem, and that's why there's a lot he wasn't able to get done and why a lot of people view him as an inactive president it doesn't really help the country out much truth is nice but it's really expensive, and it's kind of shameful and wasteful to do all that just to find out nothing
There wasn't even an investigation anyway, because the idea that Trump is working with Russia to overthrow the US is ludicrous. I find that this whole series of events is ridiculous, both sides have, at different times, expected Comey to be some kind of magic genie that made them win by arresting the candidate they didn't like.
>>155271 I have learned that getting things done also doesn't necessarily help the country out much. Just being a productive president doesn't mean good things get done. >>155274 The same statement goes for the rest of the government. Productivity != Positive Outcomes It just means that things happened.
月
>>155273 it's not just the president who gets slowed down by an investigation look at gowdy prosecuting the benghazi stuff it was so wasteful time-wise and a lot of stuff didn't get done >>155273 i understand what you're saying. i'm just really making a case why there might be a rationale behind dismissing comey and avoiding investigation without it being evidence of guilt

finna go get drunk with my little sister the time has come
I thought I hit cute anime girl reaction paydirt but all the faces are just two separate images layered on top of each other Taihen I'd have to put forth effort.
Quite curious that there is a lactation room, though or atleast the name here those kinds of spaces are usually somehting like "child care room" so you can also change diapers and shit there too
I imagine going the extra mile and naming it "lactation room" is a nice way to be the edgy kind of progressive so that you get lots of attention and stuff.
Also why would uber have a lactation room? I mean, you'd think it is for the employees, and I'd say any employee who comes to work with a child still in lactation age... the fuck are you doing, be a parent and concentrate on taking care of your kid, not working for the man.

>>155294 hello this is america we don't know how to not work
>>155296 Weird law, but the nagain I guess from another angle, our long child-leave legislation must be weird to some.
月
>>155300 yeah i was gonna mention that it's super weird to have like 15-month long paid paternity leave americans would lose their shit if they had to not work for 15 months
Effective March 23, 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act amended the FLSA to require employers to provide a nursing mother reasonable break time to express breast milk after the birth of her child. The amendment also requires that employers provide a place for an employee to express breast milk.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.
月
>>155303 we have a more diverse role structure keep doing what we're good at and have the people who are good at taking care of kids make their living by taking care of kids it's like an ant colony
>>155306 It does work on paper at the least I do say, though, as a more traditionalist, that a parents number one duty, man or woman, is to raise their kid.
>>155307 Yeah, it hasn't been allowed to be a bathroom for 7 years now.
月
>>155308 i think people here feel that way, but there's the pressure of supporting them that's all on us our government doesn't do what yours does in terms of taking care of everyone
>>155310 Yeah, and which is why you have more stay at home moms too, aye? if the father has good enough income. I don't think we've had those since the world wars.
月
>>155312 unfortunately, yes stay at home moms are not an asset to our society though they are the progenitors of toxic ideas like anti-vaccines and chemtrails
>>155311 Why would people without babies know about this stuff?
>>155309 There was a cool bathroom I used to use a lot with a couch in it for breast feeding. Bathrooms with couches in them are pretty common, at least on the ladies side of the fence.
>>155313 Haha kinda amusing spectrum there those who are stay at home, produce one kind of toxic and those who want to force mothers to work, produce another kind.
I knew about it but then again my mom is a nurse manager and my friends work in big companies

>>155316 that's what happens when you don't work your brain stops working right and you have to make things up to try and feel competent to your peers so they start all sorts of these little movements and demand attention about things that aren't real or don't matter and they won't accept the idea that a doctor understand something that they don't
>>155315 I've never followed the news very closely. It's probably just better to bottle it if you're going to take your kid to work. That way you don't have to whip them out at work.
>>155321 I'm sure they clean them in nice bathrooms. I don't touch anything in dirty bathrooms, couches included.
月
>>155314 those couches are incredibly unsanitary women's bathrooms in general are incredibly unsanitary especially if they use fabric and not something like leather or plastic
>>155323 You can lecture me on it if you want. I don't think having boobs makes one a lactation expert. I've never been pregnant or anything so it's not like I've ever even had to contemplate randomly leaking or something like that.
>>155324 Some women experience pressure and pain in their breasts, especially around the nupples, if they don't breastfeed. haha nupples nipples So having a lactation room allows them to go and relieve that pressure inconspicuously. They might not necessarily be bringing their baby to work so bottling the milk won't help.
I just think you're pretty smart and know a wide range of topics at least a little, and I think you are the kind of person that would know about the human body enough to know that much
>>155332 I know about the theory of lactation but because I've never experienced it I can't say I've thought too much about the day to day logistics. When it comes to taking care of people, I don't know maternity stuff very well. My areas deal with people who are falling apart for one reason or another.
>>155337 I don't think there's anything to investigate. If you lactate and you're not pregnant, it's a sign of a hormone imbalance. My hormones have never been substantially imbalanced. Maybe I was kind of a slow starter but I've always been more or less normal.
Yeah, it's really not common. It's not very common in girls and indicative of a hormone imbalance. In men, it's a sign of a severe hormone imbalance.
月
>>155347 clinically uncommon is different than socially uncommon like it has to be a big rarity to be considered clinically uncommon i'm not sayin like most people do, but it's not really rare if you went to a school with 100 boys i'm sure a few of them lactated
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>155349 do you have data that indicates this or are you just saying you've heard of it once or twice
>>155350 it's at least common enough that there are pharma companies researching it as an // a potential unmet need in the clinical setting in various age groups it happens mostly in teenage settings or in the very old people old people lactate a lot
月
if i remember right, some of the reason behind it (besides dietary things) would be habit-related
Imbalance of hormones due to unhealth eating habbits and some speculate it is the modern UNHEALTHY ADDITIVE RIDDLED FOOD

>>155357 there should be some results from pow camp veterans who had malnourishment and had lactation issues upon resuming a normal diet
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
that's totally different because that's the result of hormonal imbalances that aren't natural natural hormone imbalances during puberty don't cause lactation like rika said >>155348 it's a sign of severe hormone imbalance
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>In males, galactorrhea may be associated with testosterone deficiency (male hypogonadism) and usually occurs with breast enlargement or tenderness (gynecomastia). Erectile dysfunction and a lack of sexual desire also are associated with testosterone deficiency. everything i see online says that's all from hormone imbalances too
