  • I’m not the person you replied to. But in case they never get back to you, Dbz abridged did a lot of stuff to flesh out characters and plot. They kept a vlog going when they were recording and basically they got really really bored with the bit 1/3 into recording the series and decided to just start spicing up the writing in a lot of places to keep themselves entertained.

    For Krillin they wrote all the various L’s the show hands him as eventually contributing to a down-to-earth, unassuming, and resilient personality by the time he meets the androids. 18 on the other hand makes various jokes about having nebulous and inscrutable preferences in body type. She values in-group loyalty over other forms of morality so when they meet Cell and he immediately understands the Cell situation and begins working to save the other androids there’s at least a bit of a throughline for why their attraction was plausible. Though TeamFourStar did still play 18’s immediate magnetism to him for jokes.


  • Maybe this is on me for engaging to the extent I did, then. I definitely had set out to have a conversation about how religious groups should be more welcome on Lemmy.

    I’ll consider what you’re saying about it being a choice that shouldn’t be given the same graces as statuses given through birth. There’s something developing there, but I’m going to have to reflect on that for a while.

    But you should consider how on one part of your argument you’re saying women are being compelled to wear their garb and then concluding that belonging to religious frameworks is strictly a choice. This is walking right past their autonomy in a very selectively invalidating kind of way. Though I’m going to try to just take the merits of what you’re saying and leave the rest.


  • To my knowledge religious status is protected by law from discrimination in the US to the same extent all those others are? Laws are a poor measure of morality but it’s saving the jobs of women who need to wear religious garments in professional settings so it seems moral.

    But looking at that church’s Wikipedia page it looks like they’re one of the only denominations to be institutionally changing to include LGBTQ. Seems a little curmudgeonly to say they’re outside the scope of inclusion, especially given the resounding victories progressivism is having in the united states lately














  • Check out Sleep. I needed it because I have a horrible tendency to turn off my alarms without waking up. Even when they’re across the room. This one can have a password or some simple math problems for you to solve so you can’t turn it off until you’re at least awake enough to 6x7+3

    It also has a setting for low intensity alarms that can increase over time on a gradient that you set. This made waking up way less traumatic than the blaring sirens it used to require when I was a teen or worked cancerous shifts that started and 1 am and the like. Eventually over time I reduced the alarm down to just a vibrate with no sound, and I often wake up as soon as it starts at its quietest.

    Your sleep habits are a thing you can cultivate and it’s amazing what they do for your mental health
