No, like you’re part of some tech-bro cult. Which is worse, I will point out. Rejection of the current status quo doesn’t mean we want a WORSE status quo.
And we already have plenty of people in the current establishment who want to pay their employees with something other than actual money. We call those people scumbags. At least being paid in exposure isn’t bad for the environment.
A little sad they skipped over the actual confession, and the end credits had me panic for a second.
As a man with a female bestie, this title irks me.
A few details got changed, but the broad strokes and general spirit was the same. I’m always happy seeing Eiji aware of the romance, but letting her set the pace to something she’s comfortable with.
Oh wow! So I’ll be able to watch it for definitely the first time! Hooray!
I want that wow dog t-shirt.
I don’t doubt that Waller fucks, but there is not a chance in hell she seduces or acts sexy. She seems more the type to go “I know you’re single, and I’ve seen enough of your search history to know what you thought of when we came in here. Now shut up, let me take charge, and we can both benefit from this.”
The main reason I love the manga is that it’s a pair of dumbass teens using acting as an excuse to flirt with each other. This episode is a damn good example of that.
More or less, this is exactly what I was expecting. Quick-fire scenes with added content to connect them, plus a bit of reshuffling to make the episode flow a little better. Surprised by the scene they chose to open on, but it makes sense. I am happy.
I was hoping for more gay, but I’m still happy
I don’t think the end-ending will be sad, at least, but it’s going to be a difficult road to get there. Episode 9 is the breaking point, so I’m guessing episode 10 is the fallout, episode 11 the reconciliation and episode 12 the return and triumph. So the next episode will be a LOT of pain, which will make the episodes after feel SO much better.
The problem with the fediverse is that not enough people get how it works, so they don’t use it, so there’s not enough content, so there’s less incentive to use it. The benefits of the fediverse are that you can’t exploit and ruin something for everyone if there’s an alternative readily available for them to use instead, and the fediverse is BUILT on those alternatives.
The problem with web3 is it does nothing practical enough to justify its existence. The only people who found a use case for it just used it like stock shares, being something worthless that might be valuable if enough time passes. Calling it an alternative to money is absurdly naive at best, manipulative at worst.
Imagine if you had a boss who told you they would only pay you in company stock, and tried to say that it’s better than being paid money. That’s what this is.
