Slayers is great, especially the first two seasons, before it went anime original.

Oh hey, my family did this back in early 2010s Italy. The local gold and silver dealership proudly displayed a copy of L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics near the counter, that was fun.

Iowa man hauls grain, becomes involved in a minor diplomatic incident. Meanwhile, someone else on the ship wonders if he's fated to become his own ancestor.

Yeah, it's a decent site. Their reviews are a good way to find out what seasonals are interesting, which are horny nonsense... and sometimes praise is given to shows that are both.

 

I've been having an itch for Disco Elysium recently, but this time I was also wondering: what did other people think of it?

Was there any Youtube or possibly streamed playthrough you enjoyed watching? Did any communist theoryhead play the game for an audience? Any unique points of view?

A country like Argentina, beyond its meat industry, isn't really a country with a significant impact on the environment - but this will hurt the local population.

By design even, considering what the aim of the current government is.

Venezuela's economic crisis really began after oil prices fell drastically in 2014 and the west used Chavez's death/Maduro's election to increase pressure on the country via sanctions which for example made buying parts to maintain oil refineries difficult. Before that, it was doing about as well, or better (of course, failing to become independent from oil exports) compared to the other countries in Latin America.

Argentina was already in a crisis for the last ...20 years-ish, but this acceleration of the crisis happened in a week even as Milei backpedaled on some potentially damaging promises like cutting trade with China.

They will probably lose territory to Poland as well if this keeps up

Sigh

No they won't. It was a fringe position in the Polish far-right before the election and now that the libs have won it's even less likely to happen.

Or, the fighting will eventually stop and the current status quo will remain permanent. It's hard to tell.

It's less wacky politicians (though there undoubtedly are some that actually believe that) and more nationalist propaganda - showing Poland as an island of righteousness against the removed west or something. It's an attempt by the far-right Law and Justice Party to gain support via culture war and shocking people into disgust and hoping they back you based on that. Even at the cost of pretty blatant lies.

It works on my family, at least in part. 😕

0 chance. The SPD agrees, the CDU agrees, most of the AfD except the very nazi ones agree, the FDP and the Greens agree enthusiastically and likely even the Left Party is likely to have a sizeable amount of people voting for. Probably only the BSW (the left wing conservative splitter party of Sahra Wagenknecht) will vote against.

Kaiji hooked me HARD when I started it. The anime has a fantastic narrator as well.
