You asked if I had read the manga. His name is Gatsu, and is translated to Guts. You made a very unsubstantial claim, then doubled down on you yourself not having read Berserk.

Yeah, I should have clarified here that the “parry” isn’t literal here, but learning to defeat a common enemy of everyone.

No, I very have much read Berserk several times. The “parry” here is not literal (I am well-aware that Gatsu eventually defeats Griffith with sheer brutality), but learning to stop capitalism from continuing to commit mass murder, (figuratively in this sense) rape those closest to you, and rule the world is paramount. Even if we have to chop off our own hand with a dull and broken blade in order to retrofit a crossbow as it continues to to do so. Defeat the demons that haunt you (and us as a whole) while accepting help from odd places (like Puck) and not being deterred by literally overwhelming odds. The thing that Gatsu cares about most in the end is saving the people he cares about (especially Casca, and in this metaphor she’s the one that capitalism attacked the hardest). Yes, for what is written he winds up on a boat and the new chapters are very slow to come out (yes, there are new chapters!) but in a sense that symbolizes an eternal struggle to find a cure.

Part of the point here is that Guts eventually defeats Griffith in a mirror scene.

I suppose that’s better than experiencing the Third Impact.

Thanks. This was really helpful.

Fat chance of a library running Linux in the US.

This is Lynx erasure.

I am not entirely sure what’s going on, but I can’t see a single image you post over Tor, no matter where the exit node is and that makes me sad.

Since this is the fediverse, and we are up against some crazy shit, as far as this picture goes, I say “Hail Hydra.”

To whoever decided to take a picture of a monitor displaying a meme and then poorly cropping it; I need to say this planely;

Ditto. I don’t want to say things about my past here, because I was really bad at times. But. for my first instance ban ever, I want to earn a ban.

Being online via Lemmy caused me not one, but 2 mental collapses (I’m fine now, diagnosed with bipolar and have meds now) so I decided to give PieFed a shot, since I get bored on “fedi” (I hate that name for the Misskey forks). The promise of better features faster seemed amazing (politics of Lemmy devs aside). I’ve been around since the very first day of the Reddit API fiasco, and despite this 2 week-old account, I’ve been around the block. The age of this account is not coincidental. Thankfully, the FAF exposed Rimu’s bullshit so I decided to start fresh yet again with the FAF (I’m already an anarchist, so why not?) due to this inexcusable drama stirring.

My biggest hope is that the AN fork of PieFed is deployed soon and properly maintained, because Rimu has changed from “dev making a new product with easy contributions” to “perhaps the biggest authoritarian threat to the threadiverse driven by sycophants” in a matter of weeks.

Rimu has banned some of the largest voices on the platform with this fell-swoop. This entire thing likely deserves its own static website in order to document what’s going on, because people on the flagship PieFed instance are never likely to see it. I may do this just because this is worse more than many realize, I think. We collectively saw threads dot net happening and basically all of the threadiverse defederated due to obvious foreseeable issues.

This reminds me of that guy that was DM’ing people with a ban every time they used the word “bro” but on a much larger and more influential scale. We aren’t talking about a mod (that was on piefed btw, I think he made his own instance) now, but an entire development effort that can deeply harm not only this platform, but the very idea of this platform as a whole.

In short,
FUCK RIMU

Joro spiders do this, and they are a real problem here.

He could make VHF and let it be its own thing.

Time is more like a cube. You see, in 1884,  meridian time personnel met in Washington to change Earth time. First words said was that only 1 day could be used on Earth to not change the 1 day bible. So they applied the 1 day  and  ignored  the  other  3 days. The bible time was wrong then and it proved wrong today. This a major lie has so much evil feed from it’s wrong. No man on Earth has no belly-button, it proves every believer on Earth a liar.

There are so many “rule books” that in some way or another (at least slightly) contradict each other that I am not sure where to start on this.

Thanks, I added the link in the post body.

Missing the alt text on this one is a big oof. I have fixed that and will add the thread link when I get a chance later. I need to not post when half asleep.

1,000% this.
