the fact that kobolds seem to be this more "animalistic" race, with kuro talking in broken language and like improper grammar. this, coupled with the fact that he seems unaware of the fact that he's being exploited by mick, makes kobolds appear to be less intelligent than other races.
but we actually find out that the simple speech patterns are in fact due to common being kuro's second language. and in a scene where kabru talks to kuro in his native language, it's actually kabru with the simple speech patterns.
we even learn that kuro seems to actually have a much better understanding of his situation with mick than we first imagine. merely wanting to stay with them so they can have someone who they can feel relaxed around.
this, coupled with a bunch of other things, really makes dungeon meshi stand out from other fantasy media. there are no "dumb" or "evil" races, they're all just people.

Of course you don’t. Free college might hinder the school-to-prison pipeline your prison owning donors depend on

when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet
I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.

I know this makes the anti-voting fandom big mad but this is only happening because Murphy was re-elected by a thin margin in November 2021, bucking a 40 year trend of Democratic governors losing re-election in NJ, because enough people voted for him

Underrated thing I love about Stray: it solves the core “narrative distance problem” you have in almost every other video game ever.
In other video games when you get distracted from the main story to go hunt for collectibles/ goof around, it always feels like you’re “ruining the narrative.” The NPCs are urging you to solve the world ending threat as fast as you can —and you respond by looking for the bonus items. It creates a distance between the player and character. It feels weird that the NPCs aren’t angry at you for hopping around and goofing off instead of focusing on the world-ending disaster
But in Stray it makes perfect sense because like. You’re a cat.
Of course the NPCS aren’t mad at you for acting oddly or running off and goofing around for a bit! You’re just a feral little cat, you don’t know better. Of course a cat would get distracted from a main storyline to goof around and go hunting for little treats. It’s just a little kitty. It needs to cause mischief. Everyone Gets it and it makes perfect sense
The moral of the story is that there should be more video games with cat main characters and that’s that on that

from the twitter thread on the Cass Review
Discussion
We have performed the first randomized clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of parachutes for preventing death or major traumatic injury among individuals jumping from aircraft. Our groundbreaking study found no statistically significant difference in the primary outcome between the treatment and control arms. Our findings should give momentary pause to experts who advocate for routine use of parachutes for jumps from aircraft in recreational or military settings.
Although decades of anecdotal experience have suggested that parachute use during jumps from aircraft can save lives, these observations are vulnerable to selection bias and confounding. Indeed, in seminal work published in the BMJ in 2003, a systematic search by Smith and Pell for randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of parachutes during gravitational challenge yielded no published studies.1 In part, our study was designed as a response to their call to (broken) arms in order to address this critical knowledge gap.
Beliefs about the efficacy of commonly used, but untested, interventions often influence daily clinical decision making. These beliefs can expose patients to unnecessary risk without clear benefit and increase healthcare costs.11 Beliefs grounded in biological plausibility and expert opinion have been proven wrong by subsequent rigorous randomized evaluations.12 The PARACHUTE trial represents one more such historic moment.
Should our results be reproduced in future studies, the end of routine parachute use during jumps from aircraft could save the global economy billions of dollars spent annually to prevent injuries related to gravitational challenge.

Nameological bullshit in video gaming, ranked:
Pretending you think a video game title which could plausibly be a person's name is the name of the player character
Pretending you think a video game title which couldn't plausibly be a person's name is the name of the player character
Referring to a player character with a canonical first name as "[first name] [title of game]"
As 3, above, but the game's title is very long, and you insist on saying it in full every time you say the player character's name
Making up an unlikely first name for a player character who's called by their title or role and treating the title/role as a last name
Combining 3/4 and 5, above, and referring to the player character as "[incongruous made-up first name] [title of game]"
Insisting that the player character of any game with a title of the form "Mark of [whatever]" is named Mark

Higurashi: Eye Opening Final Chapter
Shion's notebook is a giant mindscrew when you think about it. Previous arcs have ended in a way that implies the arc is a recounting of events that are a mix of what the writers know along with additional details to show where some of those investigations are wrong.
Abducted by Demons and Cotton Drifting are investigative reports into the murders Keiichi and Mion committed respectively.
Curse Killing is a recording of an interview with Keiichi after the Hinamizawa Disaster.
Time Killing is a book Akasaka and Ooishi put together about the mysteries of Hinamizawa.
Beyond Midnight is an article Arakawa made for a magazine.
But Eye Opening is Shion's notebook. We can assume it contains all the thoughts she's made over the course of this arc, but now the question is "When did she take the time to write all this?"
Ooishi says the last line of the notebook is "I'm sorry for being born." And that is the last line of the whole arc, but Shion's dead at that point.
The dates given for everyone's deaths brings up an amazing hint to the greater mystery of Oyashiro-sama's curse and the Great Hinamizawa Disaster that I plan to make part of the recap of this arc, so look forward to that.
She said they were always both Mion and Shion. They always shared everything until that day when her little sister was forced to be "Mion". Then Shion took "Mion" back and tore her to pieces until she was nothing more than a murderer. Then she took "Shion", skinned her and dropped the rest down a well.
She once again is both Mion and Shion, but she's really just the broken pieces that make up Mion Sonozaki, wearing Shion's skin. She's a murderer haunted by a vengeful ghost.
And Mion calls her out for breaking another promise. She promised she'd kill herself after killing Mion, but she's reneged on that promise.
Mion's hands got swapped partway through that one page. The first hand that crawls out of the covers is her left hand. And the index and middle fingers are rotting and missing their nails while the pinky finger nail is still attached but partially ripped off.
Then in the next panel, we see Mion's right hand and it has the exact same details on each equivalent finger. And it's not because her hands have matching damage. In the next panel, we see both hands. Her right hand is missing the nail on the index finger, but the left hand still has it but has lost the nail on the ring finger.
I'm moving on. Staring at Mion's fingers is giving me genuine nausea.
Shion seriously decided to kill Keiichi just to spite Mion.
When she woke up from her fall, Shion's hair had come loose. She's managed to come to her senses enough to be "Shion" again.
The Sonozakis have an ancient tradition where if twin successors are born, one must be strangled before their first cleaning. And yet Shion existed. And if Shion didn't exist, none of this would have happened.
But there's nothing saying which twin should die.
Shion blamed her little sister for everything, and thought she should have died by the Sonozaki tradition. But now she realizes that it would have been better if she had died instead.
She'd broken every promise she made. She didn't take care of Satoko, she didn't spare Keiichi, and she didn't die after killing Mion.
She wants to make everything right, but most of the promises she broke can never be fixed. The only thing she can do is apologize and fulfill the one promise she can still keep as she throws herself off the balcony to her death.
She promises Satoshi that if she ever gets another chance, she will do it right. And it's a promise she intends to keep.
In that ideal world where Shion made the right choice, Satoshi still isn't there, but she's part of the club and she cares for Satoko like she promised.
And in a few days, Ooishi will ask Keiichi about who really stabbed him. Ooishi most likely has concluded at that point that Shion had been impersonating Mion the whole time and tried to get Keiichi to realize that. But Keiichi still never assumes Shion would have done anything even when Ooishii is practically telling him that's what happened.

Spoiler Discussion
So who wrote the notebook? If I was to give a supernatural answer, I'd say it was Shion, but not this one.
I'm going to argue it's the Shion from the Cotton Drifting arc. She's already lived this experience once before and she knows how this story ends.
Just like the memories from Abducted by Demons will reach the Keiichi of Atonement, maybe the memories of the Shion from Cotton Drifting momentarily found their way to this Shion, spurring her to write the thoughts she had the last time she did this.
And it could very well be possible that Shion is becoming somewhat connected to the Shion in Massacre. Keiichi and Rena dream of the things they do in their dreams, and Rika only speculates that Shion may have also experienced the same thing.
The Shion here suddenly thought she was having a bad dream, and she'd wake up and Satoshi would be by her side.
And while her actions were real in this timeline, for a moment, she managed to suddenly reach herself in Massacre where all of this really is just a dream. And the Shion in Massacre was able to show her that for once, she fulfilled her promise to Satoshi.
