Mia Mulder — What Does It Mean To I wanted to examine identity, how we use it, why we have it, why it matters and in the process I lost my mind.

Funniest possibility is the "raping art" comment was directed at using 07thMod and he's a Pachinko sprite purist.

One of those people who uses reading speed as a proxy for intelligence with zero consideration towards comprehension, let alone analysis

Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

Not a book in the conventional sense, but with about 1.1 million words in its English translation, I would argue that this Visual Novel fits the heart of the question.

Umineko no Naku Koro Ni/Umineko When They Cry is, ostensibly, a conventional murder mystery ode to Christie. Once you breach the surface it widens into a dazzling treatise on everything from the fragile beauty of love to how humanity collectively determines truth, and so much more between.

Scott Cawthon donates money to anti-choice organizations as well as Trump.

The twins' inner turmoil is a perfect microcosm of the zero-sum "sacrifice one for the sake of the rest" mentality that permeates the overall conflict of the series!

Yyyyeah the 00s were certainly... very Battler-coded.

Getting an image of Ryukishi explicitly leaving Maria's jawbone in the EP1 epilogue to forestall this specific theory. I wouldn't put it past him!

They do a bunch of concept albums. This one -- about a man in a coma having visions of his past, with each singer representing a different aspect of himself -- they actually made a full theater production out of, and has some narrative similarities to Umineko.

This leans heavily on the progressive metal side, but have you heard any Ayreon?

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Also IIRC when an official English translation was licenced, Witch Hunt people were tapped for it.

Considering the likelihood of vote trading to ensure that none of the defectors happened to be up for reelection next year, every Dem Senator who does not put their full weight behind ousting Schumer as leader is equally complicit.

the reality is that they have already won & they do not want to change anything. they want a strong republican party, as they say often. the only time they put any work in is to sabotage candidates running to the left of them, otherwise they just sit around doing insider trading

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

The version I saw going around just a couple minutes before finding this post had the fingers splayed and palm facing forward, not down, so *one* of 'ems likely to be an edit. Neither show up at a cursory search of walmart dot com...
