After loading in and getting basics like Wifi and fingerprint lock set up

Just as a general rule I'd advise against ever using biometrics to lock anything, especially your phone. Cops can legally force you to unlock your phone with biometrics but not with passwords.

I love "you must be fun at parties" because it's completely defanged by just saying, "yup, I sure am." Because at that point "nuh-uh, you're boring and lame and nobody likes you" is just such a weak response. I've seen that shit turn the tide on the reddit voting hivemind all at once lol

I kind of like that she exists. She's part of the world's deep lore now. Imagine reading in a sci-fi story that there's a super high-tech anti-hacker measure and only 2 super-mega-hackers certified by Hackerman himself or whatever are able to get through it.

And one of them is this fucking person.

Idk I just think it's magical

Pretty much the first thing that happens in chapter 1 of original dragon ball when goku is a little kid is he gets shot by Bulma and it, uh, kinda stings. It's not really high power level, it's anything above absolutely pathetic power level. By dragon ball logic, basically every decent martial artist in the real world should be bullet proof lol

1,234 episodes

Fuck you lmao how dare they pull this shit

How many uninspired trash episodes did they have to pump out to get to the funny number

I guess that doesn't count for me because that's a literal video game and not even technically an isekai. Video games should have video game mechanics lol

I feel like this particular problem is Konosuba's fault. It just got really popular as a video game isekai and any anime that becomes popular defines its genre for the next decade or so.

I still recommend some of Lovecraft's work, and Asimov's, and other shitty people's. But always with warnings, with the intent to discuss their flaws and the way those flaws creep into their work (or, sometimes, take over the work wholly) and the way that those works can still be valuable and cool and worth looking at despite those flaws in author and work.

The problem with Harry Potter is it doesn't really have any redeeming qualities. It is, as you say, worth nothing more than good marketing. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone mostly just because they're not very good, even with Rowling completely out of consideration.

If they were good? I don't know, it'd be a different story.
