A lot of medications come with air in the syringe as a “lock” to help keep the medication in once injected. You see it a lot with blood thinners and vaccines. You don’t want a ton but like 0.1mL is fine. Doing IV stuff you want to avoid bubbles but even then it’s like a solid amount of air that’d cause an issue.

The comments from the “Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Stacey Abrams” are so out of touch. “I think a lot of people voted with a false sense of security,” said Smith. “Folks were betting that if they voted to enshrine abortion protections, Donald Trump wouldn’t actually co-sign a national abortion ban.”

They don’t like the candidate that they see as a continuance of the last 4 years where things have only gotten worse. They don’t like the candidate that got zero delegates during the primaries. They don’t want to vote for republican lite when the real thing is literally right there. Maybe if they pushed for something for once but it’s pointless the even gesture towards that because they have no actual interest in making things better or even winning.

Put my votes in for Sinwar for President, Nasrallah for Senate, and PFLP for the House.

I mean, 外人差別 literally means foreigner discrimination, it’s literally western racism. Like what’s the difference between a Englishman hating the Polish and a Japanese man hating the Koreans? What about the Islamophobia wanting to send them all back, or the southern US border wall. It’s all the same shit you just dressed it up with a bit of meaningless nuance that really isn’t nuance. It just takes a different form.

One of my first experiences in Japan living with a host family was my host mother whispering to my white ass about how the tourists ahead of us were Chinese and that they were ‘dirty.’ I didn’t get it back then as a 17 year old, but looking back I can absolutely see their biases against me as well, they just didn’t openly flaunt them like they did against the Chinese. It’s all racism just in different forms.

For some reason my dumb brain couldn’t parse that they were referring to the American Civil War and not some weird euphemism for the ongoing genocide in southern Palestine.

The trans depiction in S3 can be a bit sketchy at best in my opinion but it is very much an early 2000s anime, has this vibe that you just can’t get these days.

Oh hey it’s the dude that does some pretty good ghost video debunks. Nice to know he’s extra cool.

Wasn’t OccupyDemocrats this “progressive take over of the democrats” thing? Just once again proving that social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.

There was once a man who chopped logs for his village. Day in and out he would carry the firewood on his back, but as time went on he grew weaker and more frail. One day he grew tired and threw down the wood and called out for death to come to him. When death arrived he asked what the old man wanted and after pondering for a while he asked death to help him put the logs on his back. When faced with death he had realized he wasn’t ready to die.

I remember when I used to say that about dubya, I was 12.

We already have the standard “beautification” stuff modded in

It can’t be helped

💩

There’s no value in you even playing Dark Souls

Use your head more

💩

What are you, an elementary schooler?

Die.

Fuck you

Do you not understand me or is it that you can’t use your head

I remember reading a while back that after the travesty of the localization of Pom Poko Miyazaki refused to let them change the script because how much they disrespected the film.

Especially with some aspects of the film they added things to try to make it a bit easier to understand for western audiences, like when she first sees the bathhouse, in Japan nobody would need it spelled out, but in the west it does so in the dub she says “it’s a bathhouse.” It’s likely dumbed down more since in the US animation=children.

It’s a spoiler in a story where spoilers can legitimately ruin your experience, but you’ll notice it in the theming as the story progresses.

1. Manga/Visual Novel

2. Mystery, Occult, Drama

3. Umineko no Naku Koro ni - The story focuses on a group of eighteen people on a secluded island for a period of two days, and the mysterious murders that befall them. Readers are challenged to discern whether the murders were committed by a human or some other, supernatural source, as well as the method and motive behind them.

4. 10/10 - amazing

It made decent enough second monitor viewing while playing minecraft but I never felt the magic where other people were super into it. It just felt like pretty generic high school love comedy stuff with a different approach to it. I have to assume the social awkwardness just resonated with a bunch of people.
