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.

“If you like Star trek, you may also be interested in : Homosexuality” 🤪

Kids are not good or bad, they’re asshole because they don’t know better.

Kinda. They want to do what they want, and need to know where the boundaries are. so they push on the edges of the boundaries.

It’s quite tiring.

and I thought Newcastle was silly

Do you think being fat didn’t happen to any humans or animals before the invention of processed food?

I’ll just say it, it’s Uruguay. I just don’t like to blare it constantly.

He’s also responsible for getting the ball rolling on enshittification. When you could connect an ipod to a computer, the files were scattered to a billon random places, and you were FORCED to have itunes.

Now, every single fucking thing has to come with their own app. fuck this.

Again, the moment I found out about this rule was when was trying to check in. I figured that I’d visit indefinitely, try to get a job, and my job could assist me in getting citizenship. So yeah, I could have done that, if I knew it was required. It’s usually how visa overstays work, so people do game the system from time to time.

Turns out this place is very based… kinda. Visa free visits for 90 days, if you need to stay longer you just do a day trip to a neighboring country. You can just get a job with no problems, and THEN apply for residency, at which point you CAN’T leave without a return certificate.

So no need to do that kinda stuff.

Are they? Depends how many you eat.

I don’t think even the MAGAs can fuck with OSHA

“No return ticket? That’s suspicious, you won’t be allowed to enter.”

Yeah, that was one of my most brick shittingests moments when I decided to migrate, planned how to leave my life in europe, made it so that all my possessions fit in one luggage and backpack, VISITED MY FRIEND IN DENMARK as a final goodbye like an idiot, and when I was trying to check in at Copenhagen airport “Do you not have a return ticket? Some countries don’t let you enter without a return ticket” I shat a brick.

(EDIT : What the fuck was I meant to do in a completely foreign country with all my posessions, and my mate going to work who needed his own space and his own life? Oh yeah, ditch work and let me back in because I have no idea what the fuck to do anymore?)

I got allowed through because the country I moved to is based 😎
