I have a deep connection to Junji Ito’s works and realy enjoy beautifully drawn graphical violence. But not that cheap and stupid like it’s done in Gantz. I strive for something more meaningful, moreso if it’s a long manga that is availiable on the bay. Do you have some suggestions akin to Bers or Ito’s Spiral?
I personally enjoy Ito more for the psychological elements, and although I certainly appreciate the art in and of itself, that wasn’t my main draw so I might not be the best person to make recommendations.
That said, Akira’s original manga form really is just as seminal to that medium as it’s anime counterpart was. I think the storytelling is a bit dated, but the illustration is phenomenal. Since you’re sailing the seas anyways, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to take a quick peek at the art to see if it appeals to you.
You could try the Akira manga if you haven’t read it already. It certainly has some body-horror elements, although not to the level of Ito, and it’s a lot more substantial than something like Gantz.
Mayyybbe Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) as well? Hard to say. It can be a bit fluffier than the rest at times, but it certainly has it’s share of hyper-violent parts too.
(Full disclosure, I haven’t read those in years, so YMMV.)
Ito really is in a class of his own, so if that’s your bar, it’ll be pretty hard to clear.
Oh hey, it’s my 2nd smartphone ever. How nostalgic! This phone was built like an absolute tank. It really was a great little phone.
That said, the problem with physical controls is that you either need a larger device or smaller screen to accommodate them. For most people, the tradeoff just isn’t worth it.
For a while, I bemoaned the loss of the physical button bar. Having four (!) indicator lights was really useful to boot. Now I happily use gestures with no looking back.
Would be nice to still see some phones offer this for those who want them, though.
Agreed, I use highschool level stats knowledge on a nearly daily basis, whereas the last time I did any trig was to follow along with a math video I was watching on YouTube. Trig/calc were mandatory, stats was not.
You realize someone has to pay for public infrastructure and services, yes? If corporate interests do not pay the taxes that are typically expected of them, then someone else will have to cough up that money, or services will need to be cut.
Alice and Bob agree to buy a shared lumber splitter. Alice takes a loan to pay for it, which Bob agrees to pay half of. When payments are due, Bob bails and does not pay, and he uses the lumber splitter anyways. Now Alice has to also pay the share that Bob agreed to pay.
You’re correct, but you’re also being a bit pedantic and ignoring the point OP is trying to make. It still illustrates the point just fine at 47.4% instead of 50%. Odds of winning 10 in a row go from 1:1,024 to 1:1,746.
I disagree. The serious answer is you have to be the one person that gets lucky.
Take 1024 people each with $1000. They all play roulette and go all in every round, half on black half on red. After 10 rounds, 1023 people have lost all their money, and one has won a million dollars.
The person who “made it” didn’t do anything different, or play a +EV game. He just got lucky.
He was actually blessed, and loves working out. Dude does a full body workout, gets mired by all the naughty guys and gals in Tartarus, then does it again.
I looked at your post briefly, and it seemed like asides from one or two down voted responses, you got a majority of fairly informative answers, no?
I know when I’ve had a conversation that I’ve felt was overly negative, sometimes I’ll go and review it again after a time so I can be a bit more objective and consider if negativity bias wasn’t playing a part in my initial assessment.
If you’ve got any more questions, I hope you’ll still ask. I think the majority of us would be happy to answer!
I find the best way is to have an ongoing list of recommendations that people make. I just write whatever the suggestion was down real quick on my phone, then every now and again I’ll look them all up to see if there’s anything I think I’ll enjoy.
Any claim can be inverted, so lacking evidence in either direction, this applies to the inverse as well.
I personally prefer more psychologically rooted arguments that lean towards at least compatibilism. If a belief in free will, regardless of the actual fact, is sufficient to affect one’s actions, is that not evidence against hard determinism?
Right, but lacking any physical evidence in either direction, is it not reasonable to then turn to purely rational explanations if we want to arrive at some sort of belief?
That’s a good question… I think for this to work properly, the digestive tract can’t just stop in the middle, they’ve got to be plumbed together into series. That means the first one would have to be disconnected, so if it was left in, it wouldn’t be functional in its typical evolutionary context.
I’d argue this is different from a centaur. Since horses have four legs and humans have two, the womanoman’s graft would need to be towards the posterior of the forward woman, instead of above the hips like where the upper part of a centaur’s graft would be. Two sets of human legs indicates there should probably be two sets of… erm… equipment.
Okay, I've read Berserk, had cries and laughters, but vomited from the Gantz. What another manga should I read?

What's the best response to someone who believes in hard determinism but also uses this to deny responsibility for any immoral actions they commit?
That is, they think all of their decisions were preordained, and then use this to claim that they can’t be held responsible for anything they do.
I have several questions, actually (slrpnk.net)
