Q: meaning of だけど in this context

recently I started watching samurai champloo & someone asked mugen for his name. he answered: ムゲンだけど I was wondering what the role of だけど in this context was. I thought maybe it's the same as adding "..." after mugen in English.

@Memor-X oh I just heard about that in a lot of other discords I'm in too

sad news ;_;

I haven't gotten around to reading the manga yet, but I'm told the influence of his manga was very far-reaching

Memor-X

@ahiijny yeh. more so because i don't think the manga finished so it joins the club with Kaze no Stigma and Zero no Tsukaima as titles that ended because their author passed away

Q: Why can't the top demon can't control Liebe?

My question is if the Demon Lord in the past can control the null magic demon Liebe when he was with Asta's mother. Why can't he control him when he is fighting with Asta on they're Black Bull's Base while being inside the spade kingdom's top tier fighter?

@hyper-neutrino even then, the characters aren't perfectly equal. Kaeya would still have the stamina passive, Amber her gliding one. Apparently, artifacts work too.

Now, I don't think that artifacts have effect that can influence the game but... "Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds" on Mona should work.

already faster than anyone else, and now with a +10% on top.

Take that away too?

Well, then you have the fact that character height sightly influences speed too.

The only way the game would be perfectly balanced wold be forcing everyone to use "equivalent" characters.

@Memor-X no, it is nowhere close to being finished :(

@ShayminGratitude Never heard of this one before, but your words kinda make me worried because I feel a "Big Bang Theory" vibe in there.

Couldn't find much other info either.

> In a review of the first volume from Anime News Network, Rebecca Silverman called the series "a nice little story with humor and a distinct lack of cruelty that doesn't break any new barriers but is definitely fun to read."
Faye Hopper considered that it is hard to tell if the humor of the series lies in Komi's "seemingly outlandish, absurd behavior" or if it is a "legitimate depiction of anxiety that we laugh at because we relate." Hopper also called the character of Najimi a "transphobic punchline", criticizing the jokes about their gender fluidity, calling them "extremely tasteless" an…

@Federico ok so i am in a sense caught up. last thing i remember reading on the wiki was something about the Skull Knight musing about a memory Guts saw as being the end of a foolish king and the moonlight boy showing up again. but i generally expect the wiki to be a few chapters behind

seems like the wiki is up-to-date then

Q: should i read the Tokyo Ghoul manga?

To be honest I live in a country were copyright is strict, because I'm a Crunchyroll user and due to copyright I cant watch Tokyo Ghoul and I don't feel like buying a VPN, so I was wondering should I just buy the manga of Tokyo Ghoul?!

manga-production tokyo-ghoul crunchyroll copyright funimation

hyper-neutrino

12:42

@SPArcheon yeah that's true

mona's sprint specifically just feels broken :p

all of the other passives are like

obviously existent, but not nearly as imbalanced

SPArcheon

@hyper-neutrino Wouldn't really say 10% reduction on stamina in a running&climbing event isn't relevant. Furthermore, stamina=>statue of seven=>new players already have less stamina

hyper-neutrino

I agree with that but it's still not as big of a problem. then again TBH mona's sprint is hard to control and sticks to like every ledge in the game so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yeah the statue thing is def true

rebels can't really outrun the hunter anyway but it still is something to note

anyway, i had a game as hunter yesterday and i played tartaglia as i usually do for hunter

all three rebels went mona

i won in 1 min 11s :P

SPArcheon

@hyper-neutrino HAHAHAHAHA the old mith that Mona dash enemy are ledges :P

Listen: Stairs... maybe. Ledges... not if you know what you are doing.

hyper-neutrino

well, i don't :D

SPArcheon

I personally had the chance to try her in Dragonspine in ... 1.2?.

I will say just this:

hyper-neutrino

12:48

heh, don't get the reference, once again :'(

SPArcheon

Somehow, she can dash up ledges that other have to climb.

the dash has very weird physics in the game, don't underestimate what it can do.

there is a certain slope angle that forces you into climbing from walking, but apparently Mona dash as a greater tollerance.

SPArcheon

13:08

@hyper-neutrino reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/ngw2e1/…

other weird lore tidbits.

Interesting, because the idea of Celestia being a prison / trap is there once again.

hyper-neutrino

ah, okay. I just don't use Mona often enough to be able to understand how it works lol

anyway, that's a cool theory

i'll read more into it later but

yeah after seeing the theory about celestia being a prison and noticing the fact that it doesn't look like a "heaven"-like place at all from the comics i can't unsee that lol

SPArcheon

@hyper-neutrino The intriguing part is not that though, the intriguing part is the one about death.

hyper-neutrino

well yeah

SPArcheon

That because it weirdly matches the lingering idea that I had too.

hyper-neutrino

the theory and evidence presented here is really cool tho. but yes, qiqi exists :P

SPArcheon

13:21

The point is not Qiqi.

or not in the way you probably think

Qiqi shows that you can keep someone alive - and btw she is very depressing too because her body his dead.

hyper-neutrino

yeah. i would hardly call qiqi reincarnated; it's not so much a rebirth as just bringing her back to the edge of death and keeping her body like that

SPArcheon

Yep, would be nice if the plot had her being fixed somehow (Albedo? ) but I don't have much hope on that regard since she is a reference to the Jiangshi

> The characters for "jiangshi" are read geung-si in Cantonese, cương thi in Vietnamese, and gangsi in Korean.

hyper-neutrino

yeah

SPArcheon

and notice it sounds "qiqi" too.

but not the point.

the point oddly is what I mentioned yesterday - odd coincidence.

hyper-neutrino

well it does sound kind of like that but qiqi has a specific other meaning that is a reference to something - you probably already know but if not i can explain

SPArcheon

13:29

yesterday, by SPArcheon

Which brings another question. Why do the adeptus keep people alive after death?

So, an adeptus had some reason to keep Qiqi alive.

hyper-neutrino

weren't they the ones who (accidentally) killed her?

SPArcheon

> This ancient story has long been forgotten by mortals.

An ordinary herb-picking lass named Qiqi lost her way and trespassed the realm of the adepti. Injuring her right leg in a fall, she hurriedly hid in a cavern to rest.

Even occupied as she was in bandaging her wound, she could hear sounds that did not belong to the mortal plane. But she could have never expected that with a huge crash, she would forever be trapped between life and death.

Whether adepti or demons, just or wicked, all understood that she was an innocent mortal caught in the crossfire.

not clear.

Caused it in some way for sure, but was injured before.

But remember that Xiao too for some reason "tolerates" (if not actively like - it is Xiao, he talks in grunts) that Dusk ghost linger around the Inn

(Notice: it is also quite clear that Xiao prefers the kids to the adults, because he sees them "less evil". Try talking to the girl just outside Qingce about the "young adepti with a lance" that brought back her doll)

I wonder if Xiao is full aware of the Celestia trap and is keeping Dusk here to avoid her ending up there too.

And about the trap...

Time -> Life -> Paimon.

Are we sure that the Hilichurls not having a concept of time isn't because they are always the same hilichurls you kill every time?

Is the "respaw" actually lore here?

In that case, the imaginary ruin guard from Timmy is indeed the father.

I heard that Honkai lore is pretty.... dark.

Now, figure if Genshin ended up with discovering that the monsters are actually spirits of the death.

hyper-neutrino

13:44

i've seen people mention xiao as the one who injured/killed qiqi but i haven't seen any supporting evidence

interesting about xiao disliking the adults more though - didn't know about that

i don't think i've ever talked to that girl before if i've seen her

do you think hilichurls are like

every time they die they reincarnate just to die again?

maybe that's part of their curse? idk

monsters don't respawn in the domain (well ignoring new waves) so do the broken symbols have something to do with that?

SPArcheon

@hyper-neutrino and then you press X and the domain is started again... and again.. and again...

hyper-neutrino

mhm

SPArcheon

Btw, if that is a thing, not just the hilichurls.

Every single not-pure-energy enemy.

hyper-neutrino

right

SPArcheon

The hilichurls could be the only humanoids that someone studied enough to notice something off

because they have some "culture" that the humans could recognize.

@hyper-neutrino this is the one.

genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Little_Luo

Considering it must be Xiao, it is weird for him to go out of his way to fetch a doll.

hyper-neutrino

13:55

i honestly don't know if i've seen her before; i think she has a reused model so i can't tell just from the appearance alone :p

name is not familiar though

but yeah for xiao to do something like that is definitely out of his character. interesting

SPArcheon

That said, it is also the usual stupid "npc don't acknowledge you" thing (unless that is actually lore like we joked some time ago).

"HERE, it costed about 14k primos but here is your adeptus in front of you. Now both of you please smile while I take a picture"

... and then you realize that Xiao ships with 4 facial expressions: serious, serious, serious and serious.

so here goes the hope for a picture.

hyper-neutrino

lmao, very true :p

does diluc smile?

i don't use the camera thing often. iirc qiqi doesn't either (makes sense)

SPArcheon

> In one version of "Guest from Afar," Verr Goldet refers to Xiao as "the young gentleman" and requests that the Traveler deal with the monsters in the area, because Xiao's "method of dealing with monsters tends not to consider the best interests of the surrounding area or the people in it."
Similarly, in one version of "Business in a Marsh," Huai'an implores the Traveler to eliminate the monsters before "the young gentleman" can grow "upset" by them, because "when something upsets him, it usually ends up upsetting the rest of Dihua Marsh too."

this is standard Xiao work method.

And yet the doll survived.

(and yet he cared about getting it back in the first place, and tracing the owner too.)

The guy clearly think that it is the adults to blame for wars and such.

hyper-neutrino

does he have any other known interactions with any of the kid NPCs?

but yeah that's definitely a bit strange for him. but considering kids are innocent after all especially when it comes to stuff like wars and such that makes sense

SPArcheon

14:12

Nope that I know off. But for example Beidou mentions this.

> One year on the eve of the Lantern Rite, we ran into a storm as we were returning to port. Try as we did, we only made it back to Liyue Harbor in the dead of night, long after the lanterns had all been released. As I looked towards Guyun Stone Forest, I saw an adeptus, floating in the air, in the form of what appeared to be a young boy. I guess it is like the legends say — there really must be those that watch over Liyue, even if they cannot be seen.

and that means that the story "I never watch the lanterns, but if you really have too I will watch from the inn that is separated from the harbor by A BIG TALL MOUNTAIN" was an utter lie he made up because he desperately tried to have the Traveler just give up.

Normally, he went over the sear to the stone forest and watched the lanterns from there.

So, the guy is pretty an adeptus at avoiding social interactions too

Shaymin Gratitude

14:26

@SPArcheon Regarding Komi, I think it's hard to say. I'd lean towards it being a good thing, raising awareness and educating the public (it starts out with a helpful definition of communication disorder). And I don't find it mean-spirited or offensive. Checking reviews here, there are some excerpts I'd like to share barnesandnoble.com/w/komi-cant-communicate-vol-1-tomohito-oda/…

moonfox1234's is mostly positive: "While I liked this manga overall, I did have complex feelings about it ... On the other hand, there were some weird moments that didn't exactly click with me." I think this is pretty accurate for me as well. Tarnit_Argent has a negative review: "I honestly didn't like this one. I don't like its message, that introversion is a negative trait that needs to be fixed. Why can't the message ever be about the benefits of quiet introspection? "

So, it's kind of hard to say.

SPArcheon

Can't comment I fear, I don't know the story.

Shaymin Gratitude

Yeah, but you said you were worried. I don't think it's worrisome, but I guess it's hard for me to say for absolute certain.

SPArcheon

@ShayminGratitude To clarify what I mean is that Big Bang Theory apparently started as "the protagonists are different but that is not bad" and slowly turned into "the protagonist need to grow up and become normal like the others"

My "worry" is that this one too "blames" the girl for being "wrong"

but most of the reviews seems to point to it not being the case.

Shaymin Gratitude

As far as Big Bang Theory goes, I actually have selective mutism, and it definitely irritated me that they used it exclusively so that Raj couldn't talk to the opposite gender. Such a narrow definition really feels inaccurate, though I suppose it is technically within the world of possibilities.

From "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raj_Koothrappali" : "Until the season six finale, Raj's principal characteristic was his inability to speak to or around unrelated women, a medical condition known as selective mutism"

I mean, they've just gone ahead and defined it as that on his wikipedia page, which just goes to show you what's wrong with portraying selective mutism in this way.

This is not the definition.

SPArcheon

@ShayminGratitude that is one of the point, yes. That said, I was thinking of even a larger issue. Not only the depiction of some actual serious issues some may have is many time oversimplified or played for laugh (like Sheldon ocd)

Shaymin Gratitude

14:39

Yeah.

SPArcheon

But that is the tip of the iceberg: we go from some of the older episodes having the main group playing with kites, getting ridiculed for that but in the end "winning" in their "old enough for fairy tales" view.... to the ending who is basically a "adult kids growing up" thing

So, now they are at fault for being childlike, and at the same time unrelated medical conditions are implicitly tied to being childlike.

@ShayminGratitude And he gets cured too! How? At first, he is able to talk while DRUNK. Then he starts to talk to Penny while sad.

Shaymin Gratitude

Oh, yeah. I haven't seen a lot of Big Bang Theory, but I do remember that.

SPArcheon

So, in both cases, the thing is played like his fault. Suggesting that wine lowers inhibitions and makes him talk is already odd... but then he talks to Penny while crying just because he was so distracted he didn't realize he was talking to a female

So, everyone who has selective mutism, just imagining to be talking to someone else is the solution (at least for Big Bang Theory)

not that great.

So, I hope it is clear now - nothing against the manga you mentioned, it is just that I already saw similar attempts flop.

Shaymin Gratitude

Yeah. Valid complaints. I remember that Sheldon finally realized he shouldn't be acting all unemotional, which he'd learned to do from Spock, if I recall the content of the episode, towards the last season. I definitely disliked that part too.

SPArcheon

The characters are off too. The moral standards are different for different characters, the show is a mess.

Wil Wheaton starts as detestable, suddenly becomes friendly. At the same time the game shop owner never gets a redemption, is detestable, scams the protagonists multiple times but still tries to play out as a victim.

Sheldon is basically thrown out his own house by his closest "friend" Leonard. While the thing has some reasoning (the idea was to switch house with Penny), remember that Sheldon is the original owner and Leonard the one who came later.

Yet the fact that Sheldon isn't that fond of moving out is still played like his issue.

Shaymin Gratitude

14:59

@SPArcheon Yeah, I get where you're coming from. It seems like sitcoms usually don't handle social issues very well (possibly because they have to play everything up for laughs). They just end up amplifying negative sentiments that the public has. For instance, if you don't have a significant other, you're a loser (that one in particular is pretty essential to the sitcom, actually).

SPArcheon

oh, and wonder wonder, yep, they all get married in the end.

Shaymin Gratitude

Yeah. lol

SPArcheon

15:39

I doubt anyone (else) is interested in these figures, but... Kotobukiya is asking for suggestion on the next one

hmmm, that seemed to go well, says paimon

@hyper-neutrino thunderstorms never stop. Have you seen the video of the guy that tried to play the harp on Venti's statue as a ritual to pull Venti and in response got struck right after they started the song?

hyper-neutrino

i don't think so

SPArcheon

> Somewhere, in the distant Inazuma, Electro Archeon didn't want me to pull Venti

hyper-neutrino

but yeah getting hit by lightning during cutscenes is just rude :p

SPArcheon

16:34

BTW, Alice found.

hyper-neutrino

oh yeah i saw that

maybe time to update honkai again?

SPArcheon

sigh... I hoped to make use of that fine reddit sugestion

> Lol imagine people unfamiliar with Honkai, going around showing this picture and telling it's Alice

hyper-neutrino

oh. :p

yeah i saw keqing gameplay in honkai

thought it was edited/modded at first

then got recommended the announcement for fischl / event playable keqing / klee skin for someone

forget who - theresa?

nope

SPArcheon

More scary would be collaboration with Kancolle, which someone dared to suggest.

SPArcheon

16:51

But personally I couldn't care less about that.

What would be funny would be seeing Laharl in Genshin.

hyper-neutrino

i have not heard of kancolle :p

laharl?

SPArcheon

17:11

Yep, Laharl.

Who then proceeds to try to talk Jean in exchanging Klee for Flonne

"Look we give you the annoying Friendship&Hugs angel and you give us the little pyromaniac. Everyone is happy"

And Klee actually wanting to go too after hearing Etna say "You know that Prinny explode when launched, right?"

Also, Zhongli and Laharl...

Would be precious.

Zhongli summons the meteor.....

and Laharl is like "amateur"

I don't think consuming fictional media is a good way to learn about or be more aware about autism or any real-life matters...

Dimitri mx

21:08

@hyper-neutrino Occasionally there are some that scratch the educational surface

hyper-neutrino

Definitely true

searching for a fictional one is probably not the best start or even a good start IMHO (could be wrong), but stories can definitely convey some things better than just a fact-based article or something especially when it comes to something more experience-based

Dimitri mx

Agreed, in most cases it would not be the best to start of with. Considering those types of media often simplify or take artistic leniency on the matter

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

21:52

That question could easily be answered with a mere google search so

guess it doesn't matter if it was closed

hyper-neutrino

also why is it tagged relife lol...?

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

lmao

hyper-neutrino

and manga-history. neither of those make sense

hyper-neutrino

then again, we create tags a decent amount on our site

though a good amount of them end up being to clear up an existing tag or merge multiple tags together for clarity and organization

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

yeah thats true

well not all cases can you blame 'em

if it was some meta post about acceptable stuff they shouldnt be expected to lurk around and read it when its only at like 45 views

but they always skip the tour page thinking its a generic game TOS

hyper-neutrino

I mean that's why I always try to guide new users when I give feedback. Even though most of the time it's because they literally just don't read, lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

in cases like these comments are useful and useless

in one case youre able to guide them to how the site functions

and on the other hand once they realize their anime/manga cant be identified they just dip

making the comment kinda pointless

hyper-neutrino

true

but if they have a question later on that would be on-topic at least it might help them

that is, if they even read my comment...

Q: How did this edit 'deviate from the original intent of the post?'

I submitted a proposed edit to this question but one of the reviewers said that my edit 'deviates from the original intent of the post. Even edits that make drastic changes should strive to preserve the goals of the post's owner.' This is yet pending approval but, I'm having a hard time trying to...

discussion

while on the other hand some "new" users tend to completely understand the tour

mostly the users that lurk around for 4 years then finally decide to make an account but

hyper-neutrino

I've had users appear out of nowhere and post a really good question which gets like 20-something upvotes and then just disappear, lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

still fine

lol

when i first came i thought 100 reputation was a lot

then me and some other newbies gain it in like 4 days

then i see jon skeet's SO profile

hyper-neutrino

jon skeet is... an outlier

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

yup

im pretty sure theres some script that makes your reputation show up as jon skeets

e.g. if you had 20 reputation you'd have 20 jon skeets

hyper-neutrino

lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

22:05

i havent installed it but

really feeling like it

hyper-neutrino

i have a (deactivated) userscript that just hides everyone's reputation everywhere lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

lol wow

i'm currently working on the upstairs portion of my house

took a break and came here

all i really need to do is add a bed, tv, and curtains

because my window is crystal clear like wtf

Peilonrayz

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ Might be hard to see, but reputation is just a measure of time. You'd have to have higher than a 5:1 downvote:upvote ratio to lose reputation. And you can just delete answers with such a negative score...

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

ahh

well what i was about to type was

my brother came to help and he could legit see my every move from outside so

definitely adding curtains

hyper-neutrino

yeah definitely true. it's a bit of an ivory-tower stance for me to say this but focusing on quality and not prioritizing getting reputation has, IMO, improved my SE experience. of course, easy for me to say, but when I had less rep I found that worrying too much about getting rep fast just made SE less enjoyable

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ I can't tell if you're talking about IRL or in a game or smth :P

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

22:10

IRL lol

hyper-neutrino

ah

curtains are good to have :P

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

yeah

would be cool to avoid getting stalked

hyper-neutrino

also if you ever want to sleep in lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

hyper same, but that quality in my answers ends up getting me upvotes (then rep obv)

i came here to answer questions but didnt know about the rep system

hyper-neutrino

yeah, exactly. i mean like, quality will give you rep, which is why I think to focus on quality and the experience

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

22:11

i just saw it as a cool affect

ye

i mean short answers can be perfect quality

(e.g. every answer in the music tag)

hyper-neutrino

I guess this is more applicable to our site since we have a significant issue where answering really fast with something trivial tends to give you rep faster than quality / high effort answers, at least relative to the effort required

well, "what is this" questions often don't leave room for an answer to be more than "it's ___" lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

i'm pretty sure thats where most the answers i flag come from

yeah the music tag is a prime example

well if id requests were removed for showing little research then i dont see why the music tag even exists

cause its just " whats the song at xyz link at 2:20"

i bet that most of the id requests are from people who neglected to reverse image search

which couldve solved their entire question

without going to some site that sees it forbidden

Peilonrayz

@hyper-neutrino On the one hand, I've found a way to game the HNQ system on my site... but, like you, I find answering interesting questions far more fulfilling

hyper-neutrino

unfortunately it does make more sense to ask for anime/manga identification on, well, anime/manga than SFF

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

exactly

althou it was removed because it shows little research

i mean this is about anime and manga here lol

we cant be taking it like disclosed goverment information

hyper-neutrino

22:17

@Peilonrayz yeah, exactly. we have a significant FGITW and HNQ effect where you can game the systems to get a lot of upvotes/rep for comparably less effort, so effort doesn't always correlate to the numerical reward

hence why I found it better to focus on the rewarding feeling of solving a problem more than the reward in the form of internet points

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

why i dont use reddit

hyper-neutrino

reddit is... an interesting place

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

i dont see why people take reputation as an important thing

hyper-neutrino

well karma doesn't really give you anything

SE's whole model is built around reputation => privileges

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

once you can answer all questions i really dont see a point of caring about it

community helps community is what i interpret

@hyper-neutrino I'm guessing you're more a fan of Tetris/Conway's game of life questions

hyper-neutrino

@Peilonrayz yeah those are amazing to look at. i still go back and look through the answers every now and then and admire them :P

Welcome to A&M manga. If you want to learn more about autism and be more aware, consuming fictional media is probably not a good place to start. That aside, recommendation questions are off-topic anyway. – hyper-neutrino 3 hours ago

A&M manga lol

hyper-neutrino

oops

yeah this is why I usually use autocomment templates

to avoid making typos from repeating the same thing too many times and getting words mixed up

Peilonrayz

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ You can easily see reputation, rather than ambiguous things like "site impact". Makes for an easier goal to reach. For example the easiest goals for me is now 50k then 100k... I've got everything else

hyper-neutrino

oh I can't edit it anymore. oh well. could get a mod to but not gonna bother

i could also delete it, doubt anyone would notice

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

22:24

yeah he'll prolly leave the site after realizing that

@ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ You'd be suprised. I remember one time, a user was suspended for trying to manipulate rep.

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

lmao

hyper-neutrino

getting suspended for manipulating rep is fairly common, lol. at least as far as suspension reasons go, from what I can see

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

i hate how people who could've been community-impacting just pack up and leave the site because they couldn't figure out their waifu

honestly sad

but not that we can do anything about it

questions formatted like this honestly make me laugh

I usually go to a certain discord for id requests.

They're reliable.

But the channel is NSFW.

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

22:27

oh i dont have much id requests

hyper-neutrino

hey @lyxal what brings you here

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

getting a lot more active

lyxal

A mistap from active rooms on the site

hyper-neutrino

here to rickroll A&M too?

ah. lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

based off my math it should be like 10:00 UTC

althou its only 6 for me

hyper-neutrino

22:28

it is 10:29 UTC

you can check under the reputation dropdown in the top bar

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

ye

ye ik

hyper-neutrino

oh you're in EST too? nice

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

yes

i know that utc is 4 hours ahead of est

which is why i first saw my consecutive days i thought the sites function of time was warped lol

i hadnt realized what time zone they use

hyper-neutrino

ah lol

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

but seriously thou

even if the question is off topic theres no need to format it like:

"Greetings Earthlings! What manga would you say this mate comes from?"

like wtf lol

hyper-neutrino

22:31

eh. i usually just ignore strange wording because of either regional differences or someone might just not be proficient in english and I'll just ignore that

W. Are

Definitely has impact, though.

hyper-neutrino

unless of course it's so badly formatted that I literally can't understand what they're trying to say

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

yeah but sometimes

it just makes me laugh

hyper-neutrino

true :p

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

its so cringe to the point its comically stupid

like i said before exclamation marks make me cringe for some reason

so if i see a "Hello!" or "Greetings!" i just laugh

hyper-neutrino

22:33

Interesting perspective, fellow Stack Exchange user! I can certainly see what you mean!

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

LMAOOO

stuff like that lol

my throat hurts from laughing let me go get water

hyper-neutrino

oops :p

anyway I gotta head out for some time now anyway. i'll probably be back this evening

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

evening?

hyper-neutrino

i guess it is technically evening right now

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

what time zone is it for you

hyper-neutrino

22:36

well like, 8-9 or so

EST as well

ᴅᴀɴɪᴇʟッ

oh

i see

i consider 7:30 evening

i saw some reddit page called "do exclamation marks make you cringe?"

im gonna go look at that

it says

"Not nearly as much as the @ symbol. You're going to shorten a two letter word? Seriously?"

i understand that
