I am doing an analysis of Miyazaki's films and am starting with Howl's Moving Castle. I have lots of information about the movie, but am having a hard time finding information regarding the inspirations for the film. I am aware that the film is an adaptation of Jones's novel in 1986 and went on t...
We all know that Devil Fruit users weakness is the sea. But I wonder what is the conflict between sea and devil fruit? Why is the sea became the devil fruit's weakness?
@ʞɹɐzǝɹ at the time of posting i had one more left, which i defeated earlier today and got to who i thought was the final boss but then i fought another battle when i went to leave (it seemed like a random encounter) and got wiped out from attacks that were piss weak for most of the battle
@ton.yeung i assume it's because the serves are getting overloaded and they don't have any more. otherwise it seems to be a strange move to lock out any new customers
@Memor-X I believe this is the calm before the storm. Happens to me a lot of times. Days go by with mundande tasks and then all of a sudden, Boom! So many high priority tasks needed to be finished in a short amount of time

Is there a complete translation of the "letters" used in the world of Konosuba? I'm talking like the one seen on their adventurer cards. I'm positive each symbol corresponds to the english alphabet but I want the complete list of them if possible?
Here's Megumin's card

When Kuroro Lucifer steals the ability of another nen user, does it mean the original user wont be able to use it anymore? or is it like a copy-paste like Ging's copy-pasting the punching abilities? because in the last arc, he was using one of his friends ability 'Black voice'
does it mean the ...
In High school DxD, Issei "sacrifices" his arm to get the balance breaker form. But what does sacrifice mean here? He still has his arm and he can still control it.
In Bravely Second while you end up meeting with most of the Eternian Astrisk Users, seeing what happened to them years after the events of the previous game.
However i have noticed some of them are missing mainly
Vincent S. Court - The Spirit Master
Victoria F. Stein - The Anarchist

In Bravely Second Bella, holder of the Wizard Astrisk, is refereed to as a Dark Vestal and her attire, at least to me, looks like a darker version of Anges's Vestal Garb
However Kaiser Oblivion kidnaps's Anges who is still a Vestal to make the Crystal run amok when Bella has been with him befo...
I've noticed this a lot in many manga I've read. The character (usually the protagonist) is named after their mothers family name and not their fathers.
Some examples I have found of this are as follows?
In Special A, Takashima, Kei is named of his mothers family not his fathers. Unless the par...
I have a problem with the manga Bleach. When Ichigo first becomes a shinigami it is said that his soul cutter is so big because of his spiritual powers, which means that your soul cutter is a reflection of that. But when they go to soul society it is clearly hinted that the shinigamis there choos...
With this friend I'm trying to say that rape is good. In purpose I let some hidden failures like generalizations, the democracy's failure, the problem of group mind...)
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan you shot yourself in the foot with your position. she can;t reply because she's more concerned about that pool of blood at your feet
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan did you choose the topic or did your friend choose the topic?
and it could especially hard because of the emotions attached to the topic (rape)
if this is one of the first discussions you did that way, maybe you should have started with less emotions attached to it, like women's representation in media
@Armin I chose it. I was previously showing my point of why saying that "Every man is a potential rapist" is a very bad thing to say (I had an argument with another girl). In the end my friend agreed, but not in the beggining. Her aguments were too weak and I'm trying to teach her some stuff I know about rhetoric and Schoppenhauer's dialetic.
@Chinatsu-creepy-chan the nice thing about discussions is that you don't have to be able to use rhetoric, you only need to be able to recognize it and react to it
and then you come with like 20 statistics which proof the opposite the feminist said
@ton.yeung we get trained to work in such environments, we have a project with 9 to 14 other students working on it, completely self organized with a real customer
we had to write an ugly eclipse plugin for a specification language of the customer
but when you are merely in your fourth semester of studying it and learned programming maybe 1.5 years before that is big enough to cause problems @ton.yeung
@ton.yeung well, david_w said it pretty well in the comments: what other engineer has to work with constantly changing specifications? even during our little one year project the specifications changed every one to two months.
@ton.yeung i missed the first sentence, was an api worthy of copyright?
we had a specification in the beginning which was approved by the customer. then we tried scrum but failed -.-
