I wonder what would happen if we moved on of your posts to the anime thread 😈 Just kidding, but actually curious if it registers it a submit time or scans the thread at intervals for participation

Your sarcasm detector needs work 😝 The Weimar Republic had deteriorated to point where nobody believed it could keep exisiting in its intended form. It fixed itself by disintegrating and paving the way for a new form of government Edit: I see the current changes in US as similar to those leading to the fall of aforementioned republic, complete with a parliament, a president and elected government

Even the Weimar Republic managed to fix itself and get the inflation under control... eventually 😃

I miss a piece of software I purchased once for creating "montages" combination several screenshots to a single one. So splitting up posts a bit and spacing them out timewise Frieren's little party has entered the northern lands now, walking though areas with volcanic activity and... no anime without a hot springs episode, right? Heading towards the nearest known village with a hot spring. Kids will be kids. Only things they see so far are ruins, until they find an inhabited building. Turns out the village was abandoned 30 years ago as the local hot spring dried out and travelers stopped visiting. Much to Frieren's disappointment The locals tell the party about a hidden not spring in the nearby mountains though and Stark in an unusual display of assertiveness convinces them to visit said spring. Traveling in the direction of the spring, the party settles into a bit of routine Each party member finding the role that comes naturally to them Eventually they arrive at the hidden spring Just to discover it's so shallow it's little more than a foot bath Stark however isn't disappointed, as he already knew. The reason why he wanted to visit the place was because Eisen had told him about the place. It wasn't the spring he remembered, but the journey there and the memories he has of the ridiculous side quest. Not to mention a stunning view. Stark wanted to experience the same ridiculous journey and stunning view his master had told him about If the ascend was grueling, the descend was not easier by any means 😂 To be continued... next mini cour is Starks and Ferns date

I know. I'm currently playing the latest expansion (having played GW2 for more than 7 years now) 😄

@Malcador this aught to he up your alley, if not musically, then thematically 😛

Yeah, I noticed a few days ago, the internet was awash with end of the world for gold and silver trader messages. Australia's ABC News speculate it because of the uncertainty around the US Feds independence and some have conspiracy theories like this guy... I honestly don't know enough about the big picture to have an opinion of my own

Frieren episode 3... I will post some screenshots and write up once I get my act together and stop laughing.

Woot, thanks @Gfted1 🥰

This.... my eyes are bleeding! 😄

Second mini arc starts with Frieren beeing in a rather uncharacteristic hurry, rushing through shopping and skipping magic stores entirely to get out of the city (poor Stark!) The local nobility has a problem hanging on to their family heirloom, a sword that once belonged to a famous demon. Now it has been stolen for the second time in only a handful of generations and Count Dach asks Frieren to help him hunt down the demon thief and retrieve the sword. Frieren reluctantly agrees (the reason she was in such a hurry was to avoid the count, as she seems to have some resentment towards noblemen) They track the demon by following the trail of devastation. Bloodied apples and wrecked merchant carts, wrecked villages... No corpses anywhere though, as demons have a weird preference for human flesh (maybe it tastes like chicken?) A brief but hectic fight scene ensues. The demon may be alone, but she moves very fast and dodges incoming magic attacks Stark steps between the demon and Fern, and with a powerful kick to the stomach sends the demon flying backwards... With the physical separation between the Demon and then Stark and Fern, it's time for Frieren to carpet bomb the area to force the Demon to stay put I see a bright light... might as well have been the oncoming express train One tactical nuke later and it's over Followed by musings by Frieren on the nature of demons and their obsession with showing off when they get new toys, as well as human weaknesses when it comes to desire, temptation and impulses. Demons like to go on a rampage to show off newfound strength (like when stealing fancy swords) In the end though, she thought the whole thing worth it, as the count gave a her a grimoire with a spell she didn't have

Frieren season 2, episode 2. Like several episodes in season 1, this is two "mini arcs", fleshing out the history of the world of Frieren. First arc tells the story of "The Hero of the South". They take on a task to clean a statue and much to Starks surprise, it isn't a statue of Himmel this time Frieren tells the story of The Hero of the South, the strongest hero of humanity and how he took on not just one, but all 7 Sags of Destruction and the Demon Kings confidante, Schlacht the Omniscient simultaneously His "strongest hero of humanity" wasn't just a boast and Frieren has a flashback to how she met the guy He tried to recruit Frieren to help him fight the Demon King, and reveals he already knew she would turn him down. As for how he knew, because he had the gift of knowing the future. He knows he will die fighting the sages and the the Demon Kings main henchman in one years time, but he will kill 3 of the sages in addition to Schlacht, clearing a path for the young hero that comes after him, to finish the job. Frieren is characteristacally unimpressed by anything that goes on around her and has a hard time beliveing some young hero would actually manage to convince her. At first he thinks that Frieren doesn't believe him... He was a hero indeed, going out in a blaze of glory (and blazing a trail for Himmel and his party).

This! Some years ago, I watched the occasional Fox news articles and some Fox youtube videos (to avoid the echo chamber thing). I seriously thought at first, that I was watching some surreal satire in the comments sections until I realized those people actually believed what they wrote. Made me despair for the state of the world.

Normally that would be a kvajebajer (you are expected to buy a round of beer because you screwed up) but kvajekage (cake instead of beer) works too I suppose 😝 I took this picture in a local supermarket. any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental
