Just one thing to add, people freaking out is extremely uncommon. I haven't even heard about a case IRL, even for trans people it isn't something that tends to happen.

Don't be afraid to just guess when you are unsure, you can always ask though and at least for younger generations it isn't seen as weird or unpolite to do so

I sure love it when people use a single opinion to smear a person's entire legacy, he was great not only for the tech stuff but his stance on scientific articles piracy and a lot of other stuff too.

I won't say that that his opinion on cp is a great one (there is no doubt at least for me that distribution should always be illegal), but he wrote it as a 16 years old and it was guided due to his extremism for free speech over the internet, regardless, it's not like he himself was an evil person distributing child pornography, to paint him as an overall shitty person for an opinion like this seems idiotic imo

This is q bit personal and maybe slightly unrelated, but it reminds me of when people defend non-offending pedos (as in they are attracted to children because yhey are born that way but have not offended, nor groomed, nor harmed a child) saying the stigma should be erased because that would allow us to actually help this people who constantly hide it, therefore reducing the harm to children. This position has unironically got me called a pedophile and a lot of horrible stuff over the internet, and I would draw parallels to this situation, no matter how you slice it this opinion should not be used singlehandedly to state he is someone that shouldn't be respected. Especially since he is not defending the harm itself being done to children (as in the production of CP) which would still be a crime under his view. (Although distribution of course grows the market so it's idiotic not to go after that too), but as I said, it's a bad opinion but that doesn't make him a bad person.

For me its the one that promoted me to write this, the futurama quote "you're are technically correct, the best kind of correct"

I hate how people use it over at forums, it is repeated ad nauseam, even if it doesn't make much sense. It's probably from people using it constantly that I hate the quote, and not something that has to do with the meaning.

I must say, in retrospect it kind of seems obvious, but this has somehow blown my mind

No clue if this community allows for links, but I just checked on nyaa.si and if you search by leechers, the second result is an 189 gb file with seasons 1 to 19

As an aside note, I don't like when OP's don't interact with the posts they make. Especially on posts like this it would have really interesting to gain more insight on where he was coming from or if the replies are making sense in his mind.

I'm probably reading too much into this, there are many reasons not to reply, but when I see a popular post that has 0 replies by OP I feel there's dishonesty.

"so I can still get the health benefits from it"

Seriously, you aren't getting healt benefits. You might feel better but that is the nicotine, it's a psychological effect not something that is improving your physical health in any discernable way.

Just understand, people don't smoke because it's good for their bodies, people smoke because it feels good, it's an important distinction.

I wonder if this is the community for this kind of petition, especially since the petition is instance specific and not about this community in particular.

I have a lot of doubts surrounding this topic, like, what even is the purpose of a review? Are reviews recommendations or are they intended for people who have already wachted/read? (or is there more than one kind of review?)

Second, what level of spoilers is considered acceptable, if its something greatly enjoyable and unexpected but it happens on the first 10 chapters, should that be mentioned?

Third, what are the areas that should be focused on? Are there any kind of common templates or is it pure freestyle?

I understand there should be a level of freedom involved as in when one writes an essay, but Im having trouble grasping on what the actual objective of a review is and thus what the limits are.

In case it helps, I would love to write reviews on anilist or MAL about small manga Ive been enjoying, but I just have no clue how to treat it or what to write, some help would be greatly appreciated even if its not answering any of the questions directly.

Related, if someone has any guides on hand, or books, even if they are for other kinds of media, could you please tell me about them?

Seems reasonable, but reddit should still be able to delete those posts and comments from privated subreddits if requested to

Also forgot to say, READ THE RULES ON THE SIDEBAR, this is not a support community, your post breaks the rules. If you have future questions regarding the site post them in any of the appropriate communities, this one is for open ended questions in a similar way to r/AskReddit

Delinquent manga is an interesting genre and one of my favorites, there can sometimes be really funny works, like Angel desnsetsu or Kyou kara Ore wa!! , on the other hand there are some that are really good for the fighting Holyland

There are also a similar genre in manwha, although their stories tend to be a lot less romanticized and more about bullying and close ties to adult gangs.

So what are some delinquents manga/manwha you personally like?

Yes, I discussed with an andrew tate fan that asked "why do people get angry when I don't respect pronouns of trans people" or something to that effect, a real shit stain but I think he got banned after a few hours

I'm kind of curious on which platforms are most popular on this community or if someone still tracks things manually.

So I downloaded the extension and started creating events, but I noticed the notes created appear in the general graph but are all disconnected, is there a way to make the plug in add a tag automatically to the notes it creates?

Alternatively, another way would be to add a template to all notes created or put into a folder so that the tag is inserted, is there any way to do this using any plug in?

I just want all my calendar notes to have a central connection so that they don't disperse.

Any solution is appreciated even if its different to what Im asking for as long as it links everything (or makes them all disappear from the graph)

Im talking about sports like air gear competitions or like "Keijo", only thing that matters is that the author has made a sports with rules, be it something completely impossible to play like magic sports or just something that isn't played in real life but could perfectly be done.

It doesnt have to be the main focus of the story. It can be like what Quidditch is to Harry Potter, just one of many parts. Also, it doesn't matter how much it takes from real life as long as it is clearly a different thing. (it could be a variation of an existing sport as long as the ruleset is not real)

Having said all that, what are some fictional sports in manga you like?

With the Pokemon manga being the only good video game based manga I can remember, I wonder, are there any other really good mangas that take video games as their source?

What a weird way to go out, yesterday the owner was talking about how to proceed in the future and apologized for having to block an instance

Is it possible or does it present difficulties with federation?

I'm asking because today Vlemmy seems dead and people are speculating it has something to do with losing the domain name. So I want to know if there is a possibility the same server could come up again under a different domain but keeping the same accounts and content stored or if they will need to set up a new server and thus it's just better to move on to another instance.
