The idea that Asimov's laws of robotics are an actual set of guidelines for building robots is laughable

"Kim deserves better" is weird to me because the scenario where kim likes harry does occur if you play as detective du bois instead of tequila sunset

Starring this post to remind myself to read the book discussed in the article

Odd Taxi is fantastic, easily my favorite anime in recent years. I also want to recommend sore dake ga neck (weirdish story about convenience store workers, I liked the voice acting) and the great passage (slice of life about a dictionary's editorial staff) Edit: I can't believe I forgot this but Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is about a man who gets released from prison and immediately apprentices himself to a rakugo master who has never taken apprentices before. It's one of my favorites, I highly recommend it

This is how neurotypical people react when you don't want to be friends with them

my guess is that the buildings are large so people can fit inside

To be pedantic, octopi comes from the misconception that octopus is a second-declension noun in Latin when it's actually a third-declension noun. If you were writing Latin, you'd still want octopodes

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. A psychologist is sent to a station in orbit around a planet covered by a sentient ocean to determine if research on it should continue. Lem's work consistently blows my mind, actually--other favorites are His Master's Voice (memoirs of a mathematician working on a project to decipher what might be a message from extraterrestrials) and Peace on Earth (an adventurer returns from a trip to the moon with his brain bisected, and the half that remembers what happened is both unable and unwilling to communicate it).

This isn't a map of countries' largest trading partners, it's a map showing whether the US or China is the larger trading partner for each country

It's Nastume's Book of Friends for me

I don't know if this question was rhetorical but Kim likes it when you make level-headed decisions and say correct things about the case. Basically, he likes it when you have your shit together. On the flip side, he doesn't like it when you insult people or behave recklessly. If you really want a reference, you can search the variables on fayde--ReputationGrows("Kim") and ReputationLowers("Kim")--to see which dialogue options will affect your reputation. You can't go into his room until after the tribunal, but I think you can go in regardless of what he thinks about you.
