I suppose it comes down to ingroup/outgroup psychology and the ability to dehumanize your opponents. It’s a shame we still haven’t made it past such basic barriers as a species

They ran out after season 5 IIRC, I still think season 6 was great but then after its conclusion the quality drop becomes noticeable

Dawg, you did not need to use AI just to make that comment lol. I’m not sure what exactly was obnoxious about the characters of Death Note? I guess they’re dramatic, but that’s part of the fun of the show. Also, Westworld (Season 1, I’ve only seen that) was amazing, with a very satisfying conclusion, interesting philosophical questions, and good plot twists

They’re all abstract, symbolic, and open to interpretation rather than proper conclusions.

This is kind of the point, isn’t it? It asks the viewer to consider interesting questions, e.g. loving yourself and others despite the certainty of pain in life. It’s fair to say that it’s abstract and not for everyone, but it’s far from a bad or improper ending.

I can see the case for season 6 of GoT having worse plotlines than the prior seasons, but the direction and cinematography of those last two episodes were phenomenal, and more than enough to counter any issues with the plot. It’s some of the most excited I’ve ever felt watching a TV show, even if the plot wasn’t as good. I’m not going to defend season 7 and 8, those were at the quality of marvel movies

I strongly disagree with these takes on Death Note, FMAB, and Evangelion, especially considering the fact that the endings of all three were great (counting EoE as the ending for Evangelion, since that was basically its purpose.) What do you mean the premise of Death Note is unbelievable? It’s not trying to be realistic whatsoever; it’s like if I said Harry Potter has an unbelievable premise because magic isn’t real. Seasons 5 and 6 of GoT are great too, the last couple episodes of 6 are the best in the show imo (I said this in another comment)

one becomes the other in practice

This meme was made with pure hatred lmao

Jokes aside, won’t DSA be useful for spreading awareness/support of socialism, and provide a platform for all leftists to organize? IIRC DSA has a marxist faction

Why does everyone in this thread hate KDE?

Nice try, FBI

Looking at examples online, it is surprisingly easy to understand! I can see it being better than Esperanto for romance language speakers specifically, but it still seems to me like Esperanto would be a better auxiliary language due to the simpler grammar rules and no fixed word order

But at what cost?

TBH I don’t know much about other auxlangs/conlangs besides Esperanto. What makes you prefer Interlingua?

If you mean “is Esperanto English”, the answer is no, they’re pretty different, Esperanto combines elements of latin and slavic languages. If you mean “Isn’t English already an auxiliary language”, the answer is also no. English is a lingua franca, not an auxiliary language.

Reading through this thread really makes me wish Esperanto or some other auxiliary language caught on

They’re just voting with their dollars, it’s real democracy!

Perhaps you just haven’t found anyone worth interacting with?
