What are some habits or skills that you've recently(or not so recently) learnt that improved the quality of your life or made things more fun?

Seeking to understand others before being understood. As long as a (generous) standard of good faith is met, I meet others' thoughts and views with curiosity. I do not have to agree with them.
Realize that no matter how hard I try, a lot of things are outside of my control to change. The change you desire could take a long time and no shortcuts are feasible. You can stick to your principles and at the same time recognize that there is only so much you can influence.

Norwegian Man Arrested for Playing Dorei to no Seikatsu

Jump

molave @reddthat.com 6mo ago

It’s unanalagous in that HOI4 sanitized itself of the Holocaust specifically so people wouldn’t be able to roleplay committing xenophobic genocide, unlike the game in question which is specifically designed to let you roleplay a pedophile rapist preying on the already abused.

Fair. Follow-up questions:

If someone mods HOI4 to include aspects of the Holocaust and all the other Nazi stuff, does that make this particular copy of the game hate material? (IMO: it would be in areas where Nazi symbolism is banned, similar to how Norwegian law makes Dorei to no Seikatsu illegal there. People's opinions on the material are irrelevant, it's what the law of the land says)
Conversely, if Dorei no Seikatsu hypothetically censors or tones down the graphic/explicit portions, but the story essentially remains the same, would it be considered CSAM in Norway?

However it is tangentially analogous in the sense that anime tends to have a bit of a Nazi bar issue with pedophilia thanks to people (who I’m gonna have to assume are well intentioned) unintentionally making room for pedophiles to exist and operate with arguments just like the ones you’re making here.

I see the concern that pedophiles continue to abuse children. There's degrees of handling the problem, up to and including measures like Chat Control and Britain's Online Safety Act. Now, do the people have the appetite to be subject to those measures?

Which leads to...

Preventing government abuse and corruption is separate from stopping the distribution of CSAM and protecting children from predators.

I don't trust governments eroding privacy and surveilling its people because of predators. They pass those types of measures with other goals in mind.

[Episode] GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class • 3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei - Episode 7 discussion

Jump

Very funny episode. The main gag has a fake out and a bombastic punch line. Consider the cast lucky they're in a comedy anime.

References identified:

One Piece
Kimi ni Todoke
Daily Lives of High School Boys/Wasteful Days of High school Girls

I miss the original VA of the hard boiled guy (RIP also Old Joseph Joestar VA), but the new one does the job well enough.

Also, Ginpachi does smoke, it's not a lollipop that he licks fast enough that it smokes.

Why Do So Many Twitter Nazis Love K-On!? | Moon Channel [36:42]

Jump

molave @reddthat.com 6mo ago

My thesis on why Nazis are attracted to K-On is that low-stakes CGDCT can unintentionally serve as aestheticization of politics.

Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate.

This is opposed to "politicization of art" i.e. "art is ultimately subordinate to political life and thus a result of it, separate from it, but which is attempted to be incorporated for political use as theory relating to the consequential political nature of art", like how art is utilized in Communist societies.

The comedy has more misses than hits this time; it reminds now that as a spinoff, it won't reproduce Sorachi's brand of humor all the time. I think it's because the skit should take half an episode instead of the full length.

However, it's compensated by the class's efforts to give both Shinpachi and Otae a proper sendoff. It's touching that they want to see the former's straight man act one last time. He also unwittingly fulfilled his wish not to transfer just by being himself (and giving his "aunt" the push to confess to her crush and later get married).
