Honestly I thought it was because of cultural differences in the way stories are told.
I would think if they are spending time to create something they would actually want to capture the audience instead of making subpar stuff. Especially if they decide to translate them to other languages…

I read online - translated ones.
My only note is that if a comic is Chinese origin, the story telling is usually full of holes, like they skipped 5-6 panels that other type of mangas would had. So it could be annoying for the readers who are not used to it. (I honestly dislike it, so I avoid them.)

The question reminds me of a skit: https://youtu.be/v-lYREzDN6U

Fascinating. Thanks for the information! :) Now I know way more than ever wanted :D

The person was an actual contractor agent of the organization, doing inspections and such flying state to state - that’s why I gave it more credibility than heresay. But look how far it got me. Lol

I was told - but I never fact checked it - that the FDA actually has less than 10 employees. Everyone else is an outside contractor. And if it is true, I do think it needs better organization.
If an agency that has to protect all consumers is organized this way, that’s really worrisome.

I hate this advice, but because its true for all tasks also:
“You don’t need to wait til 1:45 to start studying.”
So just start at 1:32:30.

I wish you luck! Have a wonderful / good / tolerable life for the future!

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS, has gained momentum, encouraging individuals to use their purchasing power as an effective tool for change.

I’m just repeating the obvious thing: always take off your outside shoes in your living quarters, and have home shoes. You can also do this with your clothes, having a separate comfy set. Jut to keep the outside clothes off of your furniture / bed.

I did this with having no kids.
“Ohh I’m not in a position to create a good life for an offspring.”
“Ohh now I’m over 40 no kids for me, I guess it’s better anyway. The climate catastrophe is real the World is on fire.”

Input Input Input! I’m addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I’m happy with a good book for hours.

The thing that comes only with age is: to not give a fuck.

When we learn that it doesn’t matter we can all be little old people who are purple mohawk headed, wearing clashing neon adidas jumpsuit with zebra primted boas.

I’m still convinced that the aluminum in deodorants are not safe either…

I brush my teeth and floss every night before going to sleep.

Honor means a lot of different things. And it has been used to commit so many different crimes against minorities.

I think nowadays in the western culture it means individual honor. It means to be trustworthy and to stand by your word. By the classic saying: “A gentleman can settle the bill later”.

The way late stage capitalism goes, honor culture will be left behind. Where every individual is reduced to a number, the concept is disappearing. You pay first before pumping gas. And the only time your wow matters is in the court when you say you won’t lie.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.

I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.
