@Umairuem Gotta be 20 to drink in Japan.

I looked up the webnovel, and it turns out that it started in 2019 -- meaning it's not too far a stretch to assume that Toshio graduated in 2009. That's about as bad as timing can get at any point in the last generation up to the pandemic. (Also, in the WN chapter, he saw that someone was in...

This... is intellectually interesting, but so far, not dramatically interesting. I mentioned a month ago in the comment thread for the series that it's boring for Chitose to just be right about everything. I'm guessing we're still a ways from the end of the first light novel, so I'm hoping for...

@davidino Hayate the Combat Butler character. Also, is the time-warping thing a joke about how this manga should still be set before those got anime? I think Hayate did similar gags in side material, at least. (The Hayate manga, IIRC, explicitly starts on 25 December 2004 and reaches its climax...

Careful with those honorifics, sensei...

I feel like the plot needs a "but". So far everything seems to be validating Saku's viewpoint that popular people deserve to be popular, losers are losers because they suck, and the latter should just shut up and do what the former want. That's boring, and this seems to be quite a popular series...

"So I guess the question really is... who has less fear?"

@Lynkaster That was already included, back in chapter 22.

Given the context of "religious persecution in the 16th-century Holy Roman Empire", I'm wondering if any Jewish characters are going to be introduced.

It is plausible that they thought he was okay with it at the time.

"Joyce set his novel on June 16, 1904, to commemorate his first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle, a date that ended with a hand job. The detail matters because it reminds us that, for all its high-culture credentials, the greatest novel of the last century is also a monument to perhaps...

My "I'm Not the Cult Leader" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

The best take on this problem, of course, was in The Good Place.

@quagzlor Yeah, as others have mentioned, this is just Olbers' paradox.

@Kurbo We don't even know that it's a warning. Just that at some point in the future, a Foundation agent sends it into the past. As long as that fact remains true, whatever crisis may face the Foundation, there's a guarantee that it'll continue to exist and to have agents. Like how in Bill &...

"I thought that everything I knew was wrong. Black was white, up was down, and short was long. And everything I'd thought was just so important didn't matter..."

Page 20: Say it! Say "manko"! The spirit of Rokudenashiko compels you!

"I wonder what kind of face I should be making now..." "Smile, a smile!" i_understood_that_reference.heif

@Walter_vi_Britannia I know you think that's a kind thing to say. It's really not. There's nothing amazing about not committing suicide, disability or no. Yukiko isn't extraordinary or heroic for trying to live her life as best as she can. And it's REALLY harmful to propagate the idea that life...

@ZeroWWE I remember this one from back in the three-digits-only days, and no, I'm pretty sure it was always proper pizza. Unless someone tried changing it at one point, which isn't really how the community tends to do things. If so, it's been reverted since.
