Glad these matt emojis still work.

What's up, chapo.chat gang check in.
Mods/Admins, what's up? Do we need to pony up to buy the domain? I could chip in a few buckaroos if necessary.
100 Girlfriends
The manga is so peak. If you watched the first season of the anime, you aren't getting the full effect -- only after GF 10 does the series really start to pick up in its absurdity (of particular note for greatness are 13, 14, 18, 20-23 -- a run of really hilarious/absurd characters), and 29). The real joy of the series is actually the interactions between the members of Rentarou's family -- it is, fundamentally, a gag manga. It also helps the protagonist is like, the most wholesome guy to ever live and also decidedly NOT a piece of shit. Also, even tho there's a silly magic premise, the fact is, the reason he's great is just that he's made it his mission to better himself, so he's not some power fantasy/self-insert/cringe character.
This season will be a taste though, especially now that 9, 10, and 11 are joining. All three are great.
I remember it being garbage but it was just such a pale imitation of the original.
The OG might be the epitome of this prozd sketch, but that's also why it rocks. Renton eventually quits being a totally insufferable shinji clone.
Finally, DONT SLEEP ON ANEMONE. Ami Koshimizu puts in a 10/10 performance, she'd go on to do Kallen right after this, and her only notable credit before this was Tenma in School Rumble. Anemone is amazing and it really is great work from the VA
Anime
Hyakkano - is there some cringe fanservice? Sure. Is it more wholesome than 99.999% of romcom stuff despite this? Also yes.
Villainess Ojisan - show is the least cringe isekai ever. G Gundam and JoJo references make this a really enjoyable watch. Also it helps it's not toxic power fantasy or cringe creepy shit.
Solo Leveling - continues to be incredibly well animated mids anime.
Eureka 7 is peak. The first third is 7/10, but get ready. The back half of that series is some of the best stuff out there.
Yes but the history of the book is different. The text of Augustine's confessions is the same but the copy produced by penguin is DIFFERENT from a manuscript produced by a medieval scribe. They have different histories and are different things in the world.
You can't say that my book and your book are the same. The "text" may be the same, but they aren't the same thing.
Unless you discount the materiality of life entirely you will never be your clone.
I can't write a good post but yeah, the phenomenal character of being (like, existing, experiencing, etc) is more than mere data.
Your brain is not a computer, putting it in a robot body would be so far from the embodied experience of being you that I don't think even that would be "you".
There's a joke about the notorious M-M cable (aka the suicide cable) that I'm too lazy to make.
M-M in audio is crucial though, hooks my car to my Bluetooth
Cybernetics is cool, especially cybersyn-related forms.
