    Women aren’t genetically more empathetic than men; the way power has been traditionally distributed since civilisation began, it has always been the burden of women to understand men. —Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A hopeful history

    Reminded me of this excerpt from a somewhat optimisitic but delightful read about how the transition from hunter-gatherer nomadic/“the commons” to agricultural/private property created numerous cascading effects — one of which was how women went from active equal members (yes, even hunting) to being secondary members and essentially property. Women, even to this day, have the onus to understand men/others while men have historically had the expectation to not understand women or others.

    edit: repetitive grammar

    I may need to reread but I recall interpretating it as “looney-tunes” logic where the rule is “defeat in one punch” and that he broke his personal “limiter” despite the somewhat normal regiment (gotta respect that 10k run everyday).

    Everyones got different limiters (Garou I think is the closest other example we have) but the sheer work needed to break a limiter is described as ridiculous. It shows how average Saitama begun as and how seriously he took the training to do that everyday.



    • Battery performance took a dive after the Nothing OS 3 update (8.5-12 hours to barely 8 hours).

    • Photos seem LQ despite having two 50MP cameras

    • Noticeable green tint at low brightness settings probably due to LQ OLES displays.

    • Grievances with Nothing’s update philosophy where they seem to:

      • update the (a) models first before flagship
      • not optimise performance, and
      • anecdotally make previous model’s performance (camera) worse
    • Frustrated with the fact that they seem to releasing the 3a before the 3.

    • Likes the glyph system

    • still recommends for the price range but does not recommend for a “good experience”



  • It’s probably the most accessible anime I openly recommend. It’s well-animated, strong visual identity, simple premise, unique setting for an anime, and an excellent adaptation of the comedy.

    I emphasis the comedy and accessibility because, historically, anime has suffered from borderline cringey tropes/humour (fanservice, perverted humour, women sharing one personality, etc) which limits it’s audience to a specific demo. SpyXFamily blends western aesthetics with clean humour all from the perspective of a realistic 5yo that sees the world wonderfully juxtaposed to an era of turmoil.

    You may not love it but I feel confident recommending this as a gateway to other great slice of life animes (Like Skip & Loafer, Dungeon Meshi).










  • Been pretty basic on my weekly manga reading (I can only be bothered to read the MangaPlus releases) so this thread is appreciated!

    relatively new series that look promising are:

    • No Gyaru In This Class:
    • Shiba Inu Rooms:
    • Monochrome Days:
    • Hero Organization:

    New series that are, deservingly, picking up traction.

    • Shinobi Undercover:
    • Ichi The Witch:

    Will always take the time to shout out my personal faves that deserve more love:

    • Witch Watch:
    • Undead Unluck:

    I plan to put brief explanations when I get home :)
