At this point, Glorio might as well chose to betray them after Goku started to mispronounce his name every time. For a second, I actually thought Goku would get it right after Glorio taught him again.

Could be that Bulma just approached it in the wrong way, but she did work on Namekian ships before. I guess they had to have these ships prior to leaving the demon realm to, well, leave. But then again, maybe Namekians wished themselves out of the demon realm or something and created their own tech afterward.

They what? Why didn’t any of my fellow Germans tell me?

Most jobs, at least the better paying ones, include 6 weeks of vacation. However, you can use them all at once.

Die erste Zeile mit dem Pfeil sagt dir, dass du die Karte um 90° drehst um ihren Effekt zu nutzen (= Tappen). Damit markiert man sie als ‘benutzt’. Zu Beginn jedes Zuges werden üblicher Weise alle Karten des Spielers wieder in die normale Position zurück gedreht.

Once again a fun episode, luckily the Dragon Ball charm is still working.

I thought the whole Minotaur bit was quite funny, especially after both the last preview and the actual opening feature him as a dangerous foe. I’m curious whether he will return, I’m guessing the opening won’t change anytime soon.

Glorio was finally confirmed to be the traitor he’s always been made out to be. Still, it’s been made so obvious, he could very well turn out to be a double agent or maybe even a bigger antagonist who’s just being opportunistic. His magic was interesting, it kind of reminded me of the thunder shock technique Roshi used to have. Also, while he may have lost, it’s impossible to say how strong he actually is. With magic types, it’s a matter of whether or not he actually used his strong techniques - there is no Ki to judge him by. The things he did use seemed to charge suspiciously long, like he wanted Goku to have some free openings. Of course, this being Dragon Ball, he could also just hide a transformation.

The Gendarmerie reminds me of the Red Ribbon Army, I’m curious what’s up with them. So far, we know they are collecting energy and have people in this demon realm marked with these rings. I didn’t notice it before, but quickly looking back, characters in earlier episodes all wore them. It’s kinda reminding me of the setup Big Mom from One Piece had in Whole Cake Island. It’s probably the most interesting thing to me in this episode.

Lastly, I’m also curious what’s up with the ship Bulma repaired. Did she fail because her brain actually did regress a bit? It’s hard to tell with Goku. But I guess, something had to happen, since they didn’t take Bulma with them and neither has the new guy arrieved yet.

So, what’s your point? Other people might have a lot more boring childhood anecdotes to tell, but it’s not like I’m suffering in any kind. I still remember people or useful skills - the stuff I do use.

As an added benefit of growing up quite poor, I probably just had less unique experiences I actually could recall. Like, I’ve been on three travel vacations overall. Kinda like those COVID years blurred together for most people.

Nah, it’s just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.

I don’t find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it’s “use it or lose it”.

I’ve already forgotten most of my childhood and I’m only around 30. So I’d assume, yes.

I don’t know the episode, but the joke is about the TV broadcast experiencing difficulties. The broadcast warns against any sexual interactions to pass time because years of TV radiation shriveled up their genitals.

I’ve waited months to collected one of these points! Let’s hope I’m right.

I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.

I’m really glad I wasn’t born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I’m not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.

Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I’ve finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.

Notable exceptions are:

• Nier Automata, although you kind of have to if you want the whole game and it still brought down the experience for me.
• Chrono Trigger, for the quick kill on Lavos. I did not play much of the NG+.

I couldn’t name a single street in the city I’ve been born in except the ones I lived in. I’ve learned to navigate the city before I could read and never bothered to read street names thereafter.

The same goes for every other city, my mental map of cities includes almost no street names. Maybe that’s because I don’t use cars at all, after all I could name bus stations and such (some of which are named after streets, I guess, but I’ve still got no idea about how they connect or even which street of an intersection actually has the name).

I guess my wish came true, and we’re done with setup episodes. The only thing still missing is a reoccurring villain - the original Dragon Ball was at its best with Piccolo, Tao Pai-Pai or General Blue.

I’m still not very interested in Glorio, but Panzy seems like a fun stand-in for Bulma. In fact, she seems so similar, I’m wondering why Bulma will join at all. Maybe both groups will be on their own adventure for the most part. The new alien guy joining up with Vegeta seems fun, I’m sure they will annoy each other to no end.

Goku almost went Super Saiyan and up until now nothing came close to a challenge. I guess it will be quite some time until they hit a wall, which is a shame, since training arcs are always my favorite ones.

Otherwise, there isn’t much to say. Shin still did nothing, they still lay it on thick about Glorio being suspicious and with the ship crashing after mere minutes, while funny, the episode ended where it began.

Who cares? Just like most things your average programmer relies on, they are written by smarter or at least more specialised people to make your job easier. They have learned to write memory-safe code so you don’t have to.

That approach may work for journalism and such, with a single person collecting primary sources and verifying them before writing an article. However, it does not work on the internet.

Instead of one person verifying the claim and adding further sources in an article, every single reader would have to do it. And anyone using the internet would have to do so hundreds of times every day. Nobody does that. It only makes sense to shift the burden of further proof onto the primary source or disregard it.

It’s just too easy to lie about them. They allegedly had primary sources for “They are eating the dogs”.

Trusting your common sense to filter these just doesn’t work, asking for a better source is never wrong.

Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don’t antagonize women?

It is obvious, you’re right. I just feel like the proper course of action wouldn’t have been a claim and a demand for an investigation. Maybe ask others for their experiences and link a petition for people to sign, should they share this feeling, and start an investigation that way.

Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I’ve never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.

It’s one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.

He may be the inventor of politics for all I care, credentials are no indicator of truth.

A claim such as this needs some data, otherwise it’s not much better than any right-wing conspiracy.
