I'm in dire need of some new entertainment to read and I've been on a comic kick recently. I've read some manga and I'd like to get some more, rather than just stumble into things once in a while.

I think I enjoy action manga, though I get bored with the fights pretty quick. I'm interested in every genre I suppose, as long as it's interesting. I'll list what I've read and enjoyed here, moreso you'll have an idea of what I'd be into, not to tie me down to that genre. Really I'd love to broaden my horizon, but this is slop I'm looking for - easy reading.

  • Fullmetal Alchemist
  • Mieruko
  • Berserk
  • Detective Conan
  • One Piece (though since dressrosa I've not been as into it. Mainly reading out of habit these days)
  • Early Naruto (In general I feel like Shonen start off with an interesting premise and then it does a timeskip and it becomes all about power levels. I don't understand why they do that.)
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • Shaman King
  • Junji Itos stuff
  • Dragon Ball (should have stopped after the cell games tbh)
  • Delicious in Dungeon
  • Death note
  • solo levelling.

And recently I read solo leveling which was some nice enough isekai slop. I wouldn't mind getting a good isekai recommended.
I dislike fanservice though, so that eliminates all isekai more or less.

I'd be interested to hear what y'alls analysis of the situation is and what you expect to happen in the next 3-12 months.

Trump has so far

  • Crashed the farming industry.
  • Alienated the EU
  • Reignited talks of Californian secession
  • Ushered in a ceasefire in Gaza
  • Appointed Boris Yeltsin as SOD
  • Almost made Epstein-lite AG
  • Been the devil for queer and trans people
  • Ramped up ICE
  • Continued the previous administrations strategy of ignoring the bird flu.
  • Elon heil
  • Please add more

All in all I'd say my evaluation that he'd be better than Kamala on foreign policy (not out of a kind heart, but out of being a big Doofus) and the devil domestically was correct. As contradictions heighten I think we'll see events that make the summer of 2020 look like a warm-up.
Not downplaying what is happening, but a lot of what I see reported about domestic issues isn't really more than what was already developing, it's just getting attention now that the libs are in opposition. Though the persecution of queer people is wild and I had not predicted Elon doing the sieg heil nor the corporate pullback from many institutions that ensured some safety for minorities.
That's scary. I'm lucky I don't live in the us (haven't for years).

From a personal perspective, the Greenland stuff scares me. I've got danish family, until recently I lived in Denmark. I'd like to go back someday.

Old news, but just found it.

Copenhagen tries special Paris trick to lure Trump critics

The Municipality of Copenhagen is ready with a major recruitment campaign to lure disappointed Americans to the Danish capital.

In Copenhagen, the doors are now open to Americans who no longer want to live in a country with a president named Donald Trump.

The City of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Capacity are now ready to develop a targeted effort to attract Americans who are ready for a career and a new life outside the US.

This is according to Jens-Kristian Lütken (V), Mayor for Employment and Integration, to TV 2 Kosmopol.

- “There are so many Americans who have good ideas, want to start a business and have good educations. We need them here in Copenhagen and in the metropolitan area. And many of them are tired of Donald Trump becoming president, so we want to attract them to Copenhagen,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

The education and skills that the mayor is looking for are particularly in tech, green transition and life science. That's why the City of Copenhagen and Copenhagen Capacity will now seek out exactly those professional groups and entice them with what the mayor believes Copenhagen has to offer.

- First of all, Copenhagen is a great place to raise a family. Far, far better than the US. We have good daycare centers and we have good schools. We also have a much more open and liberal society than what Trump is proposing,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

Inspiration from Paris

The mayor explains that it was during a meeting between the Employment and Integration Administration and Copenhagen Capacity that the idea came up.

- “We talked about how we could be better at recruiting talent from abroad, and then we talked about what we could do if Trump wanted to win. Nothing was done in 2016, and not much was done after Brexit,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

But they did in Paris, the mayor explains.

- “They were good at luring many English people across the Channel. They had a targeted strategy to attract companies and people from the financial sector. So it's with inspiration from there that we now need to be open to the Americans,” says Jens-Kristian Lütken.

And perhaps there is a chance that some will take up the offer. At least if you ask American Nancy Gerth, who TV 2 Kosmopol met on Strøget on Friday.

She is not happy about the election result and is actually not at all sure if she wants to stay in the US.

- “We're going to suffer four more years with Trump.

- We'll see how it goes, but if it continues this way, I might consider moving to another country, she says to TV 2 Kosmopol.

Wages can get in the way

At the Confederation of Danish Employers, Erik E. Simonsen, Deputy Director of Employment and Labor, welcomes the Americans.

- “It's always a good idea if there are skilled employees from other countries who are interested in coming to Denmark.

But as you know, it can be difficult to get a residence permit in Denmark. This can affect Americans who are unable to earn a high salary in Denmark.

- If you can't get a job where you can earn 400,000 [55,000 usd], it's virtually impossible to get a permit to work in Denmark and stay in Denmark, says Erik E. Simonsen.

Jens-Kristian Lütken, isn't this something you need to solve before you entice them to come here?

- Some of the solutions already exist. You can be allowed to apply for work in Denmark for a certain period and then subsequently get a residence permit. So some things are in place, but there are also some things that could be easier than they are today, says Jens-Kristian Lütken to TV 2 Kosmopol.


Yes, what a city needs is more "ideas guys" and the best ideas guys will be american financebros with enough money to leave their country on a whim.

anti-american rant
I cannot fathom why anyone would want more amerikkkans. In the time I lived in Copenhagen yankees were the absolute worst. Moving to the city because of their distaste for conditions in the US and then trying to make Copenhagen more like the US/Being mad conditions were different. Yeah parking is expensive, remember how you moved here for a walkable city? Oh waiters aren't super cheery? Remember how you disliked tipping culture? Oh people are more reserved when it comes to dating and don't just approach you on the street? Remember how happy you were to not be catcalled constantly? The taxes are high? Yeah but education and healthcare is free.
Why move here when you don't like it here? (Specifically talking about rich "expats" and not refugees and the like. There is so much to critique about danish immigration law and the system around it.)
This isn't just for Denmark though. I am privileged to have family that lives all over the world, so moving and living across borders has been easier for me than most. Almost everywhere I've lived it's been enshittified by americans.

Anyway it's laughable to say Denmark would in any way be better on immigration, it's one of the harshest places to emmigrate to. Here's a reddit thread discussing just that https://www.reddit.com/r/NewToDenmark/comments/1gny0up/americans_copenhagen_wants_you/

Democrats crash and burn

Don't forget ignored all indications that their campaign was losing voters and those same voters being very vocal about what needed to happen if they wanted to keep them

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 85 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The democrats' main pitch was: We are doing a shitty job, but the other team will be worse.
The republicans' main pitch was: They are doing a shitty job, we wont.

Democrats main offer was doing what the republicans did. Why go for a cheap knockoff that's only in it for the votes, when you can get genuine homemade rabid racism? The democrats have nothing to offer and they're not even willing to admit shit is fucked. Republicans have lots of stuff to offer: Fascism and they are willing to admit shit is fucked (because of immigrants, not the rich)
If you're an average voter and your choice is between someone offering to do genocide while denying it and someone offering to do genocide while enjoying it, then the average voter (who is a fascist) will go for the ones who are open about it.

On top of that the democrats method of campaigning via smug condescention and veiled threats does not do them any favours. Pointing at a graph and saying "you don't get it, inflation is going down!" (which just means it's going up slower) to a person who has to choose between paying utilities or eating every day, isn't a good idea if you want that person to vote for you.

It also doesn't help that democrats do anything they can to kneecap their own strong grassroots movements (See: Bernie Sanders being fucked over in the primaries two elections in a row, the dems turning on #metoo, the dems marginalising the BLM activists that won them georgia in 2020)

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 81 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You guys really don't get that your voting system only leads to two parties.

Goddammit I wish you brick headed libs would have some fucking humility. "URGH DONT YOU GUYS REALISE [the most common thing we all get spit into our faces all the time] HURH BET YA DIDNT THINK OF THAT HUH?"
Consider the following: you dont know what the fuck you're talking about. Consider the fact that we, just like you, have also heard these talking points as they get served to our head and ass every election season. Unlike you we possess critical thinking skills above that of a parrot, a memory that is better than that of a goldfish, and are slightly more curious than an adolescent ape. This leads to us doing slightly more than reading the headline of the most up voted thing on Reddit for the day, and grants us just a tiny bit deeper understanding of the system and the many flaws with it. Also fuck your mother for giving birth to an idiot like you.

As soon as one of those parties splits up, the other one will literally always win, that's just a mathematical reality.

I love presenting my own half-assed analysis based on an uncountable number of assumptions as "mathematical reality" i-love-not-thinking

You've been doing this rhetoric for over half a century and all it has brought you is genocide, climate change denial (doing fuck all is the same as denying it), deportations en masse and a fascist police state.

and it was already a clichéd argument back then.

That's the real issue this time," he said. "Beating Nixon. It's hard to even guess how much damage those bastards will do if they get in for another four years."

The argument was familiar, I had even made it myself, here and there, but I was beginning to sense something very depressing about it. How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame, but "regrettably necessary" holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?

Now with another one of these big bogus showdowns looming down on us, I can already pick up the stench of another bummer. I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing this year is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 – and as far as I can tell, we've gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same.

—Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

You really don't get it, but constantly voting for the "lesser evil" doesn't do anything other than make it more evil.

This is incredibly slow, but slow is how our society changes. Even the French revolution didn't just suddenly happen.

So first of all you show you do understand that people plan further than just the current election, yet you fail to comprehend the concept as it applies to the US. "UOHHHH PSL WOULDNT WIN SO WHY VOTE FOR THEM? THESE THINGS TAKE TIME DONCHA KNOW GUYS" yeah why work towards incrementally making another party popular when you can make it clear to those in charge that they can away with genocide instead.

Secondly: Tell me you know nothing about the french revolution without telling me. It did come very suddenly, that's one of the main things about it dumbfuck. It wasn't the result of centuries of agitation, it was the very present result of the conditions at that moment in France, not decades or centuries of work. The politics themselves developed along with the revolution, people didn't even conceive of killing the king until... Well until after it happened.
You think people in medieval times thought the king was good? The nobles would host tournaments on random plots of land, typically containing one or more villages that they'd just fuck up. Just ride thru and pillage and completely destroy. People would get their winter depots ransacked by the nobles as they passed thru with a small army. They were practically slaves for most of the time and essentially slaves the rest of the time. You think these people didn't fucking hate the monarchy? You think it took centuries of enlightened dickheads like you to go around and dare ask wild questions like "hey have you considered not giving three quarters of your grain to your liege lord? Have you considered the fact that your liege lord shouldn't be allowed to just put you in the pillock because he's bored?"
You should be ashamed for thinking the world functions as you think it does.

The real change is people gaining more knowledge, gaining a better understanding of reality, themselves.

Incredible take to have come from someone as dumb as you. Pull your head out of the toilet and read a book please. I dunno, start with settlers. I'd tell you to read some Lenin but we both know that would just lead to the immediate regurgitation of more trite drivel from you as we once again have to pretend like you have any novel insights.
In conclusion: Just say you don't give a shit about genocide. Just say you're supportive of genocide as long as you feel safe. Just admit you don't give a fuck about brown people, instead of having us got thru this whole charade. At least the republicans have the decency not to pretend to care. Finally .fuck whoever donated the sperm that assisted in the creation of you.

Edit: Either the anti-genocide bloc has enough sway to make one of the candidates change position or we don't matter enough and thus it doesn't matter wether we vote or not. The circular "you have to vote for her or she loses! No you aren't enough to make demands!" Is as asinine as it is obvious - Well obvious to anyone who is capable of even the most miniscule piece of investigation about the ideology they're mired in every day.

Double edit: Just realised you never answered the question. How many?
