Your single existence might be ephemeral, but humanity isn’t, your community isn’t, and possibly your family either

It is though. Life has existed on this planet for just under 4 Billion years and in that time over 99% of all species to have ever come into existence have gone extinct.

Your community & family are no less ephemeral than the life you yourself live, but you won't get to see any of that.

If we lose trust in our community or in humanity in general

I never had a reason to trust them to begin with, tbh.

It’s so fucking embarrassing I wish I could literally just not be my gender for awhile.

You should probably delve that particular line of thought more deeply, tbh.

Female encroachment on what has traditionally been considered male spaces is not taken well. Female empowerment is considered taking from deserving males.

The problem is that in the context of a "winner-take-all" society it does do that though.

Obviously the general solution is to make a society that is overall more equitable between those who succeed & those who don't.

But if you aren't going to do that then you will get a reaction from those who are losing ground, even if that happening is the morally progressive outcome.

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?

I'm kinda confused about who is supposed to be who...

The actual top answers to the questions seem to be reasonable tbh. IDK what you're getting at here.

I almost stopped reading at the first four words, tbh.

Sounds scandalous, tbh.

I was assuming that they would be fresh, and unsyruped pancakes.

 

I'm enjoying it significantly. The pacing is a lot tighter than the '89 original, and while that ends up leaving out details that I think make some of the characters more interesting (mainly thinking about Nabiki's various money schemes here), I think it's probably for the best for a modern comedy. It's also a closer adaptation of the manga overall, which is good I think.

I also really like how both the dubbed voice actors, and translation choices add a lot more pathos to Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane in particular. It's difficult to put a finger on, but for me it really feels like the staff are overall better at grappling with the shittier aspects of Ranma & Akane's situations (namely their arranged marriage, and a lot of the villains misgendering/harassing Ranma when he's in "girl mode") without being lurid about it.

Anyways, what is HB's opinion on the matter?
