I got warned for saying exactly this to the exactly same person and got the same reaction, its pointless brother. It doesn't matter just let it go, people sit writing pointless shit on forums thinking they're growing by doing it all the time. Real living & growth is found out there in the wild, not in your computer.

+1 I think its a combination of a lot of shit, Mangakas are probably deprived of their creativity due to their *not so good* lives No real visionaries in the industry, and I doubt its gonna be a Japanese person when that happens Studios picking multiple Mangas to produce each year instead of picking only 1 or 2/3, its a quantity > quality issue and Studios need to write their own anime to make more money. most $$$ goes to the writer, not the studio... and the studio needs it more if a writer has more money, he doesn't write better stories. if a studio has more money, a studio does make better productions. that being said there are some good ones I've watched fairly recently 1. Link click (Its Chinese) 2. To Your Eternity 3. Eighty-Six (86) 4. Arcane (might not be anime) and hopefully you'll like Chainsaw man when it comes out. I strongly agree with Sturgeon's law which basically says "Most 90-95% of work is shit, 10-5% is good", this is the case with everything even outside of cartoons, most people are just too retarded to see it. I tried making a thread about it recently, but asking people on the internet for opinions is pointless. it never amounts to anything

I used to be pretty interested in health. my interest in it is seasonal, comes and goes. Ultimately I've always been pretty healthy, a few times I think I even reached the absolute pinnacle of health, I felt like a nuclear bomb full of energy. Throw in intermittent fasting, 3+ hours of sunlight daily and fresh air and there you go. Couldn't possibly feel better. I've ways been skinny, eating once or twice or thrice (xd) a day maximum, I've never craved food and fasting comes naturally to me. But again... really skinny, people have made fun of my "skinnyness" a lot but It never bothered me that much, however I believe it's time to change. Preferably I'd like to gain about 15 more kg, then I would be 70kg at 173cm. And that would be sufficient. After reading some material about toxins, I came to an understanding. Every food seems to contain toxins no matter how healthy it is, which ultimately means that eating more food isn't the healthiest thing to do? I'm afraid this might worsen my good health. I wouldn't like spending 100s of $ on food either at this point of my life, so please list some healthy but calorie dense or carb dense foods ? rice is pretty cheap but I've heard it contains arsenic. Currently: 18y old 55kg 173, parents overall good health. Note: by "toxins" I mean heavy metals

Sorry for late replies, just started thinking about this again. Now... I'm not in the best position to buy healthy food, maybe some but I definitely can't go 100% or anywhere near 100% healthy food. Would you still recommend increasing my calories? even if I wouldn't necessarily eat the healthiest food? things like normal eggs, quinoa, some mass gainers or protein powders, rice because its high in calories. Do you know of any European food delivery services? (services like misfitsmarket, Butcherbox, Hellofresh which are all american) I live in a small town, that makes getting food especially healthy food a lot more difficult. @UDT @Michael569

I'm gonna keep getting roasted on this post for the rest of eternity

I go around life looking at people's work, and if its something I'm actually interested in for example Cartoons, Laptops or music. I always have this high standard for it, and because of that most don't meet my expectations, most are underwhelming. I have this high level of excellence for work I'm passionate about. I just look at 80-90% of cartoons and think to myself: wow that fucking sucks, how could you invest so many years into this and still be this bad at it? now... here and there I find a gem, a cartoon that is top-notch amazing, or a song that is absolutely mindbogglingly good. I think this is the case with everyone's work, majority = bad, tiny minority = good. I see huge series with more than 1000 episodes but not a single good one, but then I see small team projects that blew me away. and also... the biggest companies in the industry always make the worst products. The most followed make the worst content, visa versa. I don't know why this is but its without a doubt the case. usually its that guy that comes out of nowhere that transforms the entire industry. This might be because our definitions of a perfect <product> are getting tighter and tighter everyday the better we see and the better we make, or it could be simply because everyone sucks. Anyone feel the same way?

she's wasting her time on this forum, threads like these confirm my suspicion that people overthink dumb questions like this, every culture has its cons, some don't mind them and some do, it's exposing yourself to other cultures that make you aware of pros and cons of your own, that's why multicultural peope who enjoy traveling a lot find their home country the least interesting. If you don't like your country then just move, but over time you're probably going to start complaining about it as well. Contrary to your "immigration is bad" belief Thinking about your profile picture & browsing pinterest for a new one everyday is not healthy, this forum is doing you more harm then good. If you pay to much attention to approval and aesthetics (externalities) it prevents you from being creative, conceptual & philosophical. And despite being external you still lack its only strength which is practicality. carl yung "who looks outside dreams who looks inside awakes" (I'm sure that quote has other applications as well) That's my perspective, and I might get banned for it depending on how people take it in, stage green sensitivity tends to get on my nerves very naturally, so sorry for the burst.

hahahaha

iPhone 13 review coming up Wednesday

Will be easier in Canada or Australia than Europe, if you want to find a girlfriend that is Much more relaxed than Europe. Europe is the most developed continent on earth, but don't let that fool you. My own experience is that English speaking countries are a lot more relaxed and social than everyone else, especially compared to Germany. I lived near Frankfurt for a couple of months, Germans don't go out for the sake of socializing as much as Australians, Americans, Canadians and the Brits... This is just my experience and my perception, so I might be wrong. Even when somebody says "I'm 100% sure" they can still be 100% wrong because 1. perception 2. unconscious generalizations 3. our first experience Its no shocker tho, the more workaholic a country is the less social it is. I'm 100% sure

Chinese culture is the most interesting thing to me, and who's more qualified than its leader Xi. he's leading arguably the most powerful country on earth I don't care whether he's evil or not, leadership is hard

Alive/dead - Edward Snowden, Steve jobs and probably davinci. We would talk about technology, privacy, government policies and philosophy Alive/Alive - Edward Snowden, Simon sinek and probably tim cook. I would also like to meet some audio engineers, music bands like fall out boy, Xi Jinping president of China. I'm all over the place

@rnd so it's not only me?? Wow... I also feel like wilting on paper is magnitudes more satisfying than writing on a keyboard, I've given it some thought before and came to a conclusion that I just appreciate the process of writing rather then just looking at instant words on my screen. I Also tried Obsidian, notion and onenote but I always end up switching to paper again. There is a art field called calligraphy. It explores design and execution of writing. So some peope see much more in words than others.

Looking back at this, I'd say I was frustrated with art and I still am to some degree, I was trying to be more utilitarian than I naturally am because I was looking for stronger arguments against it. I guess the popularity of this thread debunks my statement "People don't care about art". I just want to feel the significance of art a lot more, I have a left-right brain conflict about it. still I can't help but feel, that making physical products is more suited for me.

Walking into a bar doing pick up as a woman how important is your looks? How fast does a man become attracted to you when you're a master at looks? I care about every aspect of a great story, not just one. which means I also care about the animation. and even If I was a woman that cared more about a man's personality than his looks. this would still be the case. I would say your example is unfit in this scenario

Why? I'm aware of the price differences, but I don't believe its because its internal component management, its because apple is a luxury brand. I'm not bias towards Apple, I mostly dislike them actually. Agree, its structure Is cliche based on classic shounen. But I'm not talking about demon slayer as a story nor am I praising its writer Koyoharu, I'm complimenting Ufotable, The animation studio that is responsible for the animation, music, voices behind Demon slayer. It's groundbreaking. In my opinion Boruto as well and Naruto have 0 emotional value. Its subjective and I respect your opinion on it Agree on everything, man... Vinland... forgot about that one, its marvellous. also ever heard about Made In Abyss, its also worth mentioning.

YES!!! colors! extremely important I'm glad we share some interests ghost girl guy I think it all comes down to the good old rule "Quality > Quantity", never forsake the wisdom of those good old quotes. we put such quotes in our facebook bio's but never actually implement and appreciate them. Most companies remind me of how we factory farm animals, its all optimized for mass, not quality of the meat. these companies are so common I started naming them factory farmers

Great example of high excellence even when nobody really sees it (Inside Macbook Pro vs Inside Asus Zephyrus M16)

Scenes from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Compare Naruto to this one)

Great recent examples in the game industry: Elden ring (by FromSoftware, never heard of them?) vs Cyberpunk 2077 (cd projekt red) Cartoons (I'm only going to show the scenes and art work, not claiming anything about the story) Scenes from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

What about iPhone vs fave rapper, that seems like a fair-er comparison. I don't even have a toaster... but a lot of people seem to be pretty obsessive about their iPhones and Teslas

@Lisa Ann nice name

Its because I'm really fucking conflicted about my life purpose

My thread "Artists aren't as impactful as engineers, People don't care about Art", is just clickbait honestly, It was my unconscious intention to get your options about a life purpose I've been conflicted on pursuing, Stage Red cartoons. Leo said "Reducing life to pure utility -- that's your mistake" I'm obsessed with Romance, Violence & bitter sweet cartoons. I've never liked movies, but for some reason I always loved Cartoons. It started 14 years ago, I remember loving and watching Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network all day long: Adventure time, fairly odd parents, Avatar the last airbender, Korra, Rick & Morty etc... I started watching at the age of 5 and stopped watching 7 years later because people convinced me it was wrong watching Cartoons at 12, I was "too old for them" and "It effected me negatively" That's what my family said at least, so I quit watching because I was so young and naive listening to what other people said, at 17 I started watching again. but It was different this time, I wasn't watching cartoons for children like before. I started watching romantic, violent, lots of heavy emotions, death, pain & of course bitter sweet endings cartoons. its extremely specific so I understand If you don't get it. Maybe You've seen some of these cartoons yourself here is a couple of them: 1. Attack On Titan 2. 86 (Eighty-Six) 3. Chainsaw man (Manga) 4. Berserk 5. Demon Slayer 6. Monster Ultimately the problem is, I love this shit. and I want to make cartoons like that myself. But I don't really know if its Important to the world, I must contribute to life somehow. And I don't know how to do that effectively with this stage red medium.

It's such masterful storytelling, characters face truly difficult situations, TRUE HARDSHIP. Last episode is a really good example of that (season 4 part 2 episode 10) Connie and Armin literally have to kill their friends to save the world. Most anime and novels are straight up trash, those writers don't truly challenge the heroes. There has to be a serious potential of death in storytelling, otherwise you lose interest in it because you already know everybody survives, which just isn't realistic. Peope die in war, it's unrealistic for everybody to survive. And the way characters die is also important, I am so fucking tired of those slow deaths, where characters get to say a couple of words before they die. That's not realistic either, peope in war die in brutal ways, not by slowly bleeding out to death. Chainsaw man is even better than attack on titan, and it's about to get it's own animation. It's about devils vs humans vs half devil half humans, the main character dies in the first episode. He gets saved by his pet devil. The story has 3 main characters (protagonists) 2 die at the end, it has 2 antagonists: both of them get brutally murdered by a chainsaw. That's realism. That's masterful storytelling.
