I realise the distro is primarily meant for gamers and my friend is not much of a gamer themselves, however they told me they appreciate its friendlier KDE interface so I wish to avoid switching from this distro again if possible.

KDE lives on probably every single version of linux, most downloads have an option to have it as a pre-loaded download version (https://kubuntu.org/ , https://fedoraproject.org/kde/ , etc : https://community.kde.org/Distributions )

Even if your chosen version doesn’t come with KDE, you can usually rip out the existing UI, and install KDE through the package manager.

All kinds of winter decorations, smack dab in the middle of summer.

IDK, are the northerners having opposite season decorations for christmas to conform to the southern season during christmas?

It’s the same, and really weird for me. Like they’re unironically wholesale swallowing cultural domination. All kinds of winter decorations, smack dab in the middle of summer. Have some pride man.

Archer moment

The michelin thing was to get people to drive around more, driving up tourism and tyre use

no, there’s an actual process men go through as they age.

Like what do you call it when you believe gods aren’t gods? If you don’t believe they’re gods then who are you even indicating?

Let me give a possible interpretation. These are hypothetical, both in terms of argument , and in OPs viewpoints.

We live in a simulation. The “higher beings” are the admins that are running the simulation. They can change the settings of the simulation and break the rules with their avatars. They live as common folk on their own plane. Jobs, wife, kids, food and sleep etc. So they don’t have superpowers, they just get to mess with our reality but not theirs.

There are several non religious ethical groups to spend time with.

I tried to get you links but I ran out of time before having to do other responsibilities.

But in an age of smartphones, I have to manually add double spaces at the end of every line for the end product to display as it appears when editing it.

They can put a man on the moon, but they can’t make markdown work for my specific use case??

Canned laughter

nope, is the music good and not poppy slop like most other musicals, and if the music is good, is it actually funny at the same time?

That’s what I find it difficult to enjoy about musicals, either it’s unfunny or really broad humour or the music is too shitty.

Joe Momma.

how can it be, it’s a musical. There’s only like 3 good ones, Moulin Rouge, Nightmare Before Christmas… and maybe the weird al one?

Hero’s journey :

So, Light goes through call to adventure, supernatural aid, and threshold guardians? Ok.

All the characters go through “challenges and temptations” but aside from Light not going for the Shinigami’s eyes, they generally tend to cave to whatever temptations they’re presented with. I assume

Is the death & rebirth and transformation. I don’t see the atonement, return nor the gift of the goddess. Also, I thought the hero’s journey had “visit to the underworld” as part of the abyss, and also a voyage to a strange land which again, feels missing.

I appreciate you sharing your point of view though.

who’s who? I thought Light and L were fairly similar in their types of intelligence and both felt book smart.

Light = Book Smart
Light’s Father = Street Smart

ah yeah, that makes sense

the story is illustrating “book smart” from “street smart”.

Death Note is a variation on the Hero’s Journey trope

how? It just seemed like a typical “antagonist and protagonist are mirrors” with a villain protagonist in Light.

it’s some plot holes/stupid stuff I noticed watching. Here’s a comprehensive list , I can’t remember anything specific because I watched it about a year ago and you know, flippantly.

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WhatAnIdiot/DeathNote

One part of my perception of Light is that he expects killing every petty criminal would solve all crime forever and that society would evolve into worship of him or something stupid like that. He does nothing to address actual social ills or people with enormous amounts of power or anything like that. Other similar holes in logic, putting himself in many contrived and risky situations , the final showdown, etc etc.

Also, the show was very much a product of the post 9/11 world and its views on justice and human rights abuses.

Light was a teenager. He’s always lived an easy sheltered life under the care of his parents. He’s lacking any real life experience. In my mind, his juvenile sense of justice is right in line with someone of that immaturity especially given the power he got from the Death Note.

sure thing. It’s just combining that with the “I smelt the onion in his farts, that breed of onion only grows in the nagasaki region” style writing of “smart, observant people” makes the show kinda silly , while the tone is suuuuper serious about everything.

I watched it out of curiosity and to practice my spanish (netflix dub). In a way I’m glad I gave it a miss in its heyday when I was at uni.

Light is an asshole, bully and ironically an idiot. he uses the deathnote in an infantile manner and his sense of justice is juvenile.

also, deathnote was mid.
