I conked out for like two hours earlier because I fodo coma'd myself. Now I'm worried it'll be hard for me to sleep when I need to.
Kannagi
Trying to sleep when your body won't let you is fustrating as fuck. I can't drink energy drinks or I'll be awake late, I can drink one in the morning and at night I'll be tired but my brain won't let me sleep. it is a shitty feeling.

that fucking ED over the action that KIMI WA DAISUKI

the episode is so beautiful it moves me to tears
hiro's face when he says i love you too is so good everyone is just destroying shit and crying
Anno
DARIIN YORI MO
Anno
Something I caught in a re-watch was, despite Hiro using "ore" earlier in the episode and Zero-Two using "boku" throughout the series. In the final bit of the duologue about the Jian bird, when they both say they found it beautiful, Hiro switches to "boku" and Zero-Two uses "watashi".
it's not just hiro and zero two either the action with all of the other characters is awesome fucking futoshi swinging a steel beam the scene with the grandma goro rescuing his brother from another mother ichigo finally connecting with hiro and accepting the unrequited love even the gay mech had great action though unfortunately mitsuru only said like one thing alpha riding in pistil position and that ending geez louise i am hype to see how retarded this show gets
Kirara ๐
goro is gonna survive im sure of it
Anno
I like that Ichigo got to serve a penance. It's good fucking narrative. She was the one that had to carry Hiro to Zero-Two. Stuff like that makes the literary snob in me all giddy.

Kirara ๐
so klaxosaurs are the final form of humanity or something right according to ape
Anno
I wonder if there's some kind of Matrix shit going on, where the Klaxosaurs fuel their robots with cores that have humans inside.
>>480054 I was wondering if Papa and the other masked and cloaked adults might actually be robots or something. A kind of Skynet some previous humans installed to direct mankind towards whatever the salvation they had in mind.
yeah that also makes me think with how they appear to be part of the earth they are related tot he planet somehow maybe earth is trying to destroy humans because they've ruined the planet so much
Kirara ๐
the planet is a fuckin klaxosaur
Kirara ๐
i think the adults all might be sterile or something and their genes are used to clone kids the adults probably are carriers for some disease which the kids then are born with
Anno
>>480061 The Klaxosaurs feel a bit too mechanical in design to be something born of the Earth to me. Not that there's really a reason //This sentence isn't working. I've considered a similar idea so I'm not squashing it really, but the design of them does make me a little disinclined towards it.
bruh what if parasites come from klaxosaur eggs before they mature into a klaxosaur and they have just been erasing their memories and genetically modifying them to resemble humans so they can use their magma powers and shit to pilot the franxx
Anno
Oh that might have something to it. Assuming colour choices in the series are intentional and purposeful. the yellow of klaxosaur cores and whatever was covering that totally a human thing that fell out of a core in the latest episode, it's the same yellow that runs through the piping in the robots that seems to give their weapons their punch.
Kirara ๐
parasites probably aren't related to klaxosaurs considering we know that zero two is part klaxosaur and consumption of her blood ruined hiro's ability to pilot
Anno
Hm, that's true. I don't think there's -that's reason to totally dismiss a connection though. After all Zero-Two isn't exactly comparable to anything Klaxosaurian that we've seen so far. Either Papa and the others aren't being totally honest with her origins, or the Klaxosaurs are more complex than what we've seen up 'til now.
ok so what if zero two is only noticeably klaxosaur because they broke her out of the egg too late into maturation and the ones before her went fucking crazy or something the // >>480072 damn
Kirara ๐
alpha said zero two was intentionally made the way she is as the key to beating the klaxosaurs
she's related to that big one somehow her horns resonated when iit showed up i bet papa wants to use zero two to control it
i thought she could use her horns to sense them and they just did that because he was exceptionally huge
Anno
I'm curious as to how Zero-Two is related to klaxosaurs though. Like I said she's totally different from what we've seen from them so far. Nothing else out of their assorted forces has looked even remotely humanoid. And they don't seem to have conscious pilots.
Also what the shit is the Gran Crevasse. Fuck the TV network for not running the episode this week.
The worldbuilding for FranXX really went crazy last episode and now I'm fucking curious.
Anno
looks like a big hole that people built a cover on a long time ago to keep something in
Kirara ๐
probably where first impact happened i bet they fucked up their magma extraction or something or 001 got fucked up and took over the facility and they put a dome over it to keep 001 inside
Kirara ๐
maybe strelezia was supposed to be piloted by 001 and 002 originally
Kirara ๐
presumably her intended partner would have had klaxosaur taint so that piloting with zero two wouldn't kill them so either they built it with an intended partner in mind or for no reason
i hope they end up backing all of humanity's memories onto the cloud and then the cloud gets destroyed
Anno
>>480081 Not that there's a very clear picture, but I don't think the time schedule would align for this? From what it sounds like, humanity has been fighting with the klaxosaurs for a very , or at least fairly, long time. Unless Zero-Two was in kid mode for a very long time, I don't think she'd have been around long enough to be a potential partner for this contained creature.
Kirara ๐
im honestly thinking the kids are being mislead as to how long they've been fighting the kids don't get to become adults
>>480084 >destroy the world >try to make half human half klaxosaur kids to save the world >fuck up >half klaxosaur kid starts destroying the world >back up humanity to a datacenter >build plantations for 100 years > make another half-human half klaxosaur, it works this time >continue on for the good of humanity
Anno
>>480085 I've just assumed so far that the Kids are not all kids. There's complex cities of humans still knocking about, unless there's a total infertility problem going on like you wondered about earlier, surely there could still be children being born in those cities and growing up "normal" lives. As so far we've only really seen the kids that have grown up in the Garden, which seems to produce the Kids.
Kirara ๐
i think one of the implications of the baby making book is that the method was abandoned with that old city it seemed pretty symbolic the city was abandoned and new buildings were created in the image of some of the old ones it's like a metaphor for how manufactured the world has become so finding that book there says to me that making babies has been abandoned
it may have something to do with the yellow blood cell thing
i felt heavy implications that creating kids is abnormal in the city
>>480088 yeah the humans don't appear to be concerned about children or even anything at all really i have a feeling that creating new humans is impossible the normal way too but for different reasons i guess
Anno
>>480088 Well to run that symbolism to its full course, perhaps traditional baby making has been forgone for manufacturing children. Some futuristic take on test-tube babies. That would allow for selective children to be taken and be manipulated (or picked, if it's more of a random thing of incubation) to become the children that are raised in the Garden to become pilots. While others are kept and raised in some strict system to become functioning adults that maintain the rest of their society.
To me, the world just looks old, outside the polished worlds of the Gardens and Birdcages or other human-made structures. The Japanese town they explore I think is a good indicator of the timespan at least. It's not totally overrun by plants to indicate it's been an enormous amount of time, but that could easily be the work of a few decades.
Kirara ๐
hmm, if there's extensive genetic manipulation then you'd expect them to be able to create strong aptitude kids but instead they get lots of weak ones that are thrown away or risk death getting injections to become better
Anno
>>480091 >While others are kept and raised in some strict system to become functioning adults that maintain the rest of their society. fuck this is getting too real
Anno
>>480092 maybe they haven't perfected the yellow blood cell gene manipulation yet or something
Kirara ๐
even if that's the case, why do all of the kids look unique? aren't clones better? if you get a strong kid, you could just make more of the same specimen
Anno
>>480092 I was kind of thinking along those lines, which is why I added the addendum of being picked because they showed favourable indications while in incubation.
Kirara ๐
something i was wondering was whether or not the adults were actually human zero two said the entire city was lifeless
Anno
>>480095 perhaps they are searching for the perfect kid so they can just clone them 100s of times
Anno
>>480097 you know if the giant hand only destroyed the lifeless things that would make a lot of sense it left all of the pilots and the garden completely untouched
Kirara ๐
the real humans are probably the klaxosaurs and killing them lets zero two absorb their humanity
i want to understand why they're called parasites assuming the klax are the earth fighting back, the name makes sense but what about pistil and stamen? why use reproductive imagery there? is the purpose of a franxx to create new life? are klax born out of franxx
>>480134 you're right. you're right. poor choice of words.
ToN
>>480132 can confirm it took me 20 hours to get to the first h-scene as well

Well it is awkward for most to get dropped those kinds of complaints but answering like that is just "why", still when you could go like "must be hard, thank god I don't have that" or something

There's a gang of people in the Discord I frequent, that seem to have taken it upon themselves to belittle and mock me whenever I disagree with them on something, which is kind of often. Like today I was trying to say how I thought it was a good thing that the police officer that apprehended the guy who drove a van into a crowd of people in Toronto yesterday did so without shooting the driver, and pretty much immediately I got bombarded with "It's Anno time again!" and a wall of laughing emojis and shit like that, and lines like "there's no use arguing with him don't bother". It's frustrating to feel like I'm being shut out of a community that I've felt I was good friend with for a long time because I don't think people who are incels are hopeless people incapable of being human or that police should only use firearms in times of absolute necessity. Or in previous situations, that I think responding to someone trying to add to a discussion by just telling them "shut up autist" is going a bit too far. Not everyone in the channel has mentalities that match with the gang who acts like that, and even then some of them some times do match with opinions I have on things. But it's impossible to actually talk about things because if you don't agree with the opinions of that gang, they bombard you with ridicule and stupid emojis until the conversation has hard derailed.
>>480457 considering especially the toronto case, the guy was shouting "kill me" why would you at that point shoot him, though a bullet to the leg might have been required had he actually had a gun or proven hostile
Yeah well of course, but in this case the guy did prove to be unarmed but had something in his hand that from afar might have seemed a gun anyhow totally agree that shooting a suspect should be the last procedure not the first >>480457 seems like it is becoming or has already become an echochamber
FormerRei@mobile
It's also harder to hit someone in the leg than in the torso. Which why generally cops shoot people in the torso.
Anno
>>480460 To give a simple answer that would not be a venue of resolution, and would likely make matters worse.
>>480463 indeed, but that is also why they train a lot with their firearms
FormerRei@mobile
>>480465 They train to draw and shoot quickly. Not to shoot the leg.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I guess that is where the US cop training goes wrong
FormerRei@mobile
>>480467 Yes actually But in general, normal cops aren't expertly trained pistol marksman. Theyre just probably competent. It's easier to miss a leg than the torso. If they miss it could ricochet off the ground or hit someone else in the crowd. They don't have to worry as much about that with a larger target such as the torso.
well when you have a nation that throws your average crook for 20 to life for whatever petty crime they have done, it does explain a lot about the culture and methods of the law enforcers afterall, to some getting shot might be better than the slammer, so a "glorious shootout" with the cops might be preferrable romanticism aside, strick and harsh punishments breed a criminal class to match it eventually unless you are authoritarian and can nab anyone who slightly offends
FormerRei@mobile
>>480469 20 to life isnt average But we do have problems with excessive sentencing. We also have problems with light sentencing. Its not a secret that our criminal justice system is broken though.

quite a lot of drugs were purposefully allowed to enter the country and the government actively supported cartels in various countries in order to get a share of the profitd cartels and the us government not working together is a very recent phenomena the cartels of the 80s and 90s were created and controlled by the us to a large degree

I dunno NSA hasn't outright killed anyone
Kirara ๐
the fact that the secretary of state can order the cia to execute people from their phone, i say cia is worse assassinate, not execute
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480564 considering the organisation, I don't think they have the right to operate like that sure they may have pretty much 100% signed someone's death certificate, by giving the information to people who can do the dirty deeds but their agency isn't allowed to actually kill people as far as I know
FormerRei@mobile
>>480566 NSA fucks me over though, and basically every domestic US citizen On a per person basis, NSA fucks over more us citizens than the CIA. Governments will always assassinate people. Even if the CIA were dismantled shit like that would still happen.
they collect information now you may have your personal beliefs on that and the active spying but in the end, it is just passive spying they do on everyone vs clandestine agency that topples governments, sabotages relations, assassinates domestic and foreign personel and so on and so on and even has dealt in with very suspicious programs that targetted domestic personnel, for allegedly "research against foreign threats" like the quite famous MK ultra
Kirara ๐
>>480568 it sucks that they do that but at least tthey aren't killing us generally the cia kills people every day and has for years the cia has killed more people that /// than most people will ever meet in a lifetime
Kannagi
Thats how you deal with bad guys and terrorist. Kill a statiscally significant number of people and surely some of them will be actually bad people.
FormerRei@mobile
>>480570 I doubt they've killed that much. But i need to look up "how many people do you meet in a lifetime"
>>480571 this reminds me of the cod4 hidden gem that air bombing thing you do in one mission >good kill >this goes on the highlight reel you are killing people, and that is how you comment on it? it was so weird replaying that game andn oticing some things like that made me actually pause the game and ponder about it for a minute, especially after watching the documentary National Bird
FormerRei@mobile
Huh Apparently it's calculated that you'll meet around 80,000 people. That is less than I expected and less than my estimate for people killed directly Err killed by the CIA.
Kannagi
Depends on where you live and if you even travel There are people who live in villages where I grew up who have never left the village.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480574 almost less than soviets managed to kill us
Anno
>>480575 Depends on what classifies as "meeting" people too I'd figure? I live in a busy city; when I go downtown I can probably encounter hundreds of people in a day. Even low-balling at one hundred people a day that's only eight hundred days worth of to qualify.
I'd imagine meeting does mean more encountering people and communicating with them, which does eliminate most people I encounter.
Kannagi
>>480577 True If I'm in some office looking out a window does it count as meeting if I see people outside the window?
>>480577 You do any customer service job and you meet a lot more than 80k
FormerRei@mobile
>>480577 >>480578 Read up on the explanation for the Fermi estimate And no seeing people outside the window does not count.
Kannagi
isn't that the same as just walking past them. I guess its about people you actually interact with? given that it is fairly low but thats about 1000 people a year if you live til 80. and
the 80k seems way higher and I don't think "meeting" is me interracting with a casheer or giving directions to a random guy I will never meet again I didn't meet them really I didn't get to know them a tall I didn't exchange any meaningful conversation of any kind with them
I think "met" implies that at some level you have left an impression on them and they have on you and if you were to meet again, one of you might remember having met before
Anno
But in that case I would meet almost no one. Because I rarely leave an impression.
Kannagi
80K doesn't seem that high to be honest since I think around 1000 people a year is easy if you in some sort of company or team leader, manager.
Anno
It kind of feels a bit like a high bar for some isolated communities and people who shy away from interaction. But also a super lowball for people I'll probably encounter.
FormerRei@mobile
It's a fermi estimate, its not meant to be precise. Its meant to give you an order of magnitude.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
what's going on in here, what's 80k? the number of dicks i've sucked? huh?
and while I wouldn't make the joke, I wouldn't really judge a person that much for random silly thing they do I bet most of us have made far worse jokes in our liftetimes, just not posted it on social media fora ll to see
>>480592 Content aside, I look at the poster here and I wonder. Was the set up of the message intentionally messy as fuck? Did he not plan out the letters at all and realized he was rapidly running out of space? Did he think writing "Prom?" in actual handwriting would improve his worth? I have considerable questions even aside from his total lack of taste.
FormerRei@mobile
>>480596 I didn't go to prom because it got rescheduled to be on the same day as the anime convention i already paid for. I'm still not convinced that it was rescheduled on purpose to stop a fuck ton of nerds from going. Err wasn't on ourpose *purpose
>>480605 not at all considering he wasn't racist or sexist
Anno
>>480604 >she put two hearts This is kind of what I expected. Even if he earnestly believes this sort of thing he's probably not so socially unaware as to ask a girl out with a racist line she wouldn't appreciate.
>>480614 Those kinds of jokes kind of fall flat for me. I'm fine with black humour of people getting what's coming for them for their own faults. But stuff like that is just kind of asinine.
>>480621 yeah cause he tossed the gay man down first and lands on him
FormerRei@mobile
>>480622 I was thinking because blacks are often considered to be athletic, gypsies should be fast at running away and therefore have strong leg muscles, but muslims aren't really known for anything like that.
>>480623 and he has a vest underh is robes weighing him down
Anno
>>480626 I'm of the group of people that never really has jokes made about them like that. They've just never really been funny for me.
Maria
>>480626 A good joke is universally funny. That one doesn't really say anything about its subject matter or anything clever. You can replace the races with literally anything and it's the same joke. It's just "hey fuck those guys amirite"
>>480629 Well I do say it is better to have a racist joke about on the expense of minorities than actually act on the feelings that make you laugh from hearing it
>>480644 they pack up the sugarfluid in their ass and then become "sugar cows" for the colony some species actually overfeed the dedicated ants to the level, they become unable to move at all and then some colonies raid other colonies, just to steal those sugarcows
also the aphids have amusingly evolved to do this a symbiotic relationship with the local ant species the ants protect them from any predators, as the ants will eat them, and the aphids will give the ants the sugar dew well some of the sugar dew they drain
aphids are damn parasites on plant //garden plants
I need to learn how to set up. I think I have most of the set up down. I'm going try and walk for a bit! >>480674 Are discussing the movement in detail I wonder if reporters will try and find leaders of the incel movement and interview them. perhaps this has already happened
Maria
I know a guy who calls himself an incel I wonder what would happen if I reported him as a potential terrorist
Anno
>>480674 While I'm worried this is going to have problematic lashback and create a public misconception of the mentality. I do hope it also might help bring the issue into the spotlight amongst people that can strive to make a difference and provide help and care to the people who engage in the mindset.
Kannagi
What do you mean by public misconception about the mentality?
Anno
>>480678 To take a contemporary example, I got heavily frustrated with people I was talking with earlier who are dead set on the belief that there's some critical flaw in people who are incels, that they lack something that means they can "never be human", to loosely paraphrase the things they were saying. These aren't subhuman people, even if they are driven to horrific and cruel actions. They are people who can be attempted to be helped. The misconceptions would be that they are monsters that need to be contained or quaratined.
>>480674 I wonder where they caught wind of the term and culture
Kirara ๐
>>480680 when a guy that drove a van into a bunch of people had a ton of Facebook posts identifying himself as incel
Kannagi
I think the incel people are just the same pretty any annoying bunch of people. Like people who are so arrogant and completely lack awareness that they are arrogant shits. >>480681 Wouldn't Elliot Rodgers be when they got informed about it probably. "The supreme gentlemen"
Anno
>>480680 The van incident yesterday was not an act of radicalized religion like you kneejerk'd to believe it was.
>>480682 rodgers wasn't presented as incel because he had the journal about llizard people and stuff
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480683 well it is likely that it would be especially with "officials havn't reported information on the subject"
Anno
>>480687 No, and you did this the last time an incident happened in Canada, and last time I told you precisely why that's the case as well. The professional reporting agencies here don't release information until they've engaged in a lot of work to ensure its factually correct and not based in rumor and jumped-to conclusions. So they say "we don't have any information from officials yet" because of that. It's just responsible reporting.
Kannagi
>>480686 I never heard about this, wow. He was already hilarious with his video.
>>480688 just means canada is actually an exception and doesn't report about anyone and not just sensitive suspects
Maria
>>480679 >driven to horrific actions Wait who's driving them to commit these actions
Kirara ๐
>>480689 yeah, he was delusional thought the government was full of jewish lizard people
Kannagi
How do people actually believe that, It has been a joke that they enjoy or something.
Kirara ๐
delusional disorder is a real thing sometimes even normal people develop delusions
Kannagi
*to be. >>480694 It really hard for to imagine how you can believe people are lizards, unless you've been kept in the dark for ages and brainwashed that people are lizards. like it sounds like something children would be believe out of horror stories.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480694 considerign the goat I can say this is a case
Anno
>>480691 Themselves, even if they perceive themselves to be responding to a world that does not give them what they deserve.
Kannagi
Like I said a while ago, they are like super normies. So involved in idea of getting a gf, getting rid of their virginity etc.
>>480699 that would be a quite weird act i wonder how the woman would be dressed
Kirara ๐
that is so cursed
Maria
>>480698 yeah if they weren't normies they wouldn't give a shit about any of that. The reee normies attitude is weird because they all wish they were normies >>480704 >I'm involuntarily celibate why won't anyone love me >ew not her
Anno
>>480698 It runs a bit more complex than that. Many people in the incel communities would refuse "just getting a girlfriend" or "just having paid sex" because they feel they deserve a pure, virgin woman who will be their beloved and fit perfectly into what is usually a very misogynistic relationship where the woman is subservient to the male.
for many, incel is a very authoritarian mindset they are very immature and lacking in interpersonal skills morally undeveloped they need help
Kannagi
>>480704 Isn't like some normies as well though, they hate on slags and want a women devoted to themselves. Like I think there are a lot of parralels to incels and the very rich male population.
The things that come out of rich guys who fathers run businesses and shit is insane.

Kannagi
vaping indoors isn't illegal in public places but you'd be hard pushed to find a public space like an office here that allows you. which is fine for me because it was horrible when my boss used to vape in the office the office would be filled with a sweet sickly smell and even in meetings she'd blow it in the face of her employees. I don't think she did it on purpose but it was pretty horrible.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I have no idea how it is here EU cracked down on vaping a while ago hard, but I don't remember the specifics
Kirara ๐
my dumbass client went out and bought a $70 vape thing he couldn't use without getting sick
Anno
My imouto was saying she wanted to get a vape a week or so back. She doesn't even (probably) use any substances that can be administered through it. I wonder if she still has that impulse or if she found something else of interest.
my aniki did real weirs tuff like "tea vapes" and shit like that dunno why'd you'd do that my halfbrother vapes tobacco, when he isn't actually smoking

>>480829 I'm not a whale, though. I haven't found anti-dragon units to be particularly effective anyway.
I'm also working on a tactics team but would like an Eirika with good IVs before I sink a lot of feathers into it. My tactics team will probalby have two dragons on it though.

to be fair, Rika's favorite unit is Corrin I think it's okay if she chooses to make dragon emblem for her sake

it's really annoying how they never add red dragons
>>480838 if you aren't actively monitoring moe, which quite many do, atleast I always just have it as a side note on my other monitor, it becomes quite hard to keep up a conversation, when all side conversations get flooded by 5-10 feh/whatever posts each time ofc this isn't restricted to just feh or such talk, a heated political or such discussion might do the very same thing
>>480848 That's really making an irrelevant distinction of scale, I care very little about a great number of topics that I just let float by without complaining because the board is not obligated to hold my interest 100% of the time. However, one topic that comes up again and again that I have little interest in is politics.
FormerRei@mobile
>>480851 The only reason I bring it up is that there was a precedent.
And you guys talk about it a good bit anyway. He wanted an example, so I gave one. Like I said, I don't really mind that people discuss things that I'm not particularly interested in. I just let it slide by without complaining.
now it is feh before it was kancolle before that it was some other thing and so on moe does its moe games and talks about it excrucitiangly much at times and you just have to live with it

FormerRei@mobile
>>480865 I never said it was your problem. Anyways there's nothing feasible I can do to stop you from doing it. All I felt like doing was letting you know I thought maybe there should be a feh thread, because there was a precedent in the kancolle thread.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480868 well when you put it like "could you make a feh thread" you make it their problem you force them to act according to your wishes, which is selfish as fuck
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>480868 well 1) kancolle had much more spam to it, not just the daily few hundred posts, but at times thousands of posts a day, making a thread not just necessary to avoid complaints from likes of moi, but also pure necessity to allow any other conversations even amongst the kancolle playing audience and 2) I was quite insistant on it

he has recruited only people that cannot do the jobs they were hired for that ability is long gone

The thing with france elections was ofc, the usual, all the actual good candidates were buried beneath the Macron and Le Pen trains all who opposed le pen voted macron all who opposed macron voted le pen not exactly the vote split, but in majority, that was the trend there were a lot of politicians buried under that who would have been opposite of le pen, but much better than macron and vice versa, but just got ignored as no one talked about them and they lacked both the controversial publicity, the basic publicity and them *money to gain publicity that the two had
