Hoping to beat my record of 12k. Who knows what will happen if I make it that far?
For the uninitiated

Misato has ice, snacks and 50 GALLONS OF BEER in her fridge lmao. Mood. Her car is wrecked and there's a monster that might kill her and all she can think about is car payment loans lol. She's just like me fr. Well, except for the groomer vibes she's giving off.

I'm sure it's gonna get depressing very soon, I hear all the characters suck and half of them are sexpests. Seems like you get a pretty decent understanding of why they suck though. I already dislike Shinji though, dude get in the fucking robot the world is ending. I guess sucking is hereditary, because his dad sucks too, fucking dumbass. Dude if your son is "the chosen one" when it comes to piloting these things and you're all "I must sacrifice everything for the mission" then sacrifice some free time to be with your son so your top pilot is less psychologically messed up.

NERV is in dire need of a psych team though, insane that there isn't a dedicated therapist to help the pilots deal with trauma.

Also it's so beautiful! I miss old anime like this and Akira, everything just gets to breathe. It's so pretty every frame is a painting. The women have noses and they look like women, which is also impressive. Sadly there's still only one body type women can have, but at least they can look humanoid.

Anyway, bit idea: Guy who only watches Evangelion for the fights.

Edit: Okay so Shinji managed to make two friends and they get sent away. The dude needs a support network, how incompetent can his dad be? "Huh my best pilot is getting some friends? Can't have that, we need him to be as mentally unstable as possible!"
Dude needs to be fired.

Double edit: Now on an episode where an EVA goes berserk and tries to attack the dad and he just stands there looking at it and then when it breaks thru to him he's shocked. The guy is absolutely not beating "himbo, but not actually hot, just dumb" allegations

This all started because they shut down the marijuana-market in Christiania. They shut it down due to gang-violence, which is only present due to the police raiding the place in the 00's, arresting all the locals and then expecting the issue to go away. To nobody's surprise organised crime, which had supplied marijuana to the market, now moved in and manned the stalls as well.
This wasn't too bad, but tensions have steadily grown, though the area was never particularly violent. Maybe the constant police raids didn't help, who can tell?

They tried shutting down the market several times, both with and without the help of the citizens of Christiania, but it never really amounted to anything. To nobody's surprise, whenever they shut down the area, you'd see a drastic increase in gang violence across Copenhagen, as they would now have to fight for territory. The danish police likes to claim that they are the ones who have ended these gang wars, but time and again it has been the gangs themselves that ended these wars by way of internal dialogue, usually after a particularly violent episode.

This dialogue has been facilitated by the knowledge that the market in Christiania would re-open, but this no longer seems to be the case.
So now we have escalating tensions between gangs in Copenhagen and the police aren't really doing anything, nor are they capable of doing anything, because they can't just rest on their laurels and let the gangs figure it out on their own, since the go-to solution has been removed. The police is used to doing some token action and then claiming responsibility for solving issues, which means it is expected they solve this, but they can't, because they don't actually understand why these things flare up or stop.
I fucking hate the cops, stupid corrupt motherfuckers

Stay safe, I'll be back in an hour.

Edit: my knee started hurting, so I walked the last part. I'm back now and nothing seems to have happened. This either means something momentous has happened that the public is not allowed knowledge of, or that I have lost the baton of heaven (get it? Like mandate of heaven, but it's a relay race because I'm running. It's contrived, but it's the best I could think of)

Yeah it's basic, but so what?

We can have little a christianity, as a treat

They're making a movie about SNL and how comedy is actually deeply serious.

I sometimes think about that norm McDonald quote that goes something like "Calling comedians modern day philosophers is incredibly hurtful to the actual modern day philosophers - Philosophers."
