Great chapter.

Mom (and onee-chan) weren’t worried about how well she might do on a problem on the chalkboard - they wanted to make sure she was enjoying herself with good people who cared about her. And she is.

It’s really impressive how the mangaka’s expanding on things in the serialized version.

IIRC, we did get to see Airu the first time through, but only briefly and in idol mode - we didn’t get even a hint of her background until just now. And the way it played out - slipping into her old delinquent mode just long enough to deal with those guys, then switching to idol mode to win then over as fans - was brilliant.

And the other girl covering Urumin’s eyes was a great touch, and funny to boot.

Where are you seeing this supposed anti-semitism from the left?

I’ve literally seen zero anti-semitism from the left. Every single anti-semitic statement or action I’ve ever seen has been by someone on the right.

Now the left does tend to be anti-zionist, but much though warmongers like Netanyahu might want you to think so, that’s not by any stretch of the imagination the same thing as anti-semitism.

That was adorable.

Personally, I think that Lemmy hit rock bottom relatively shortly after the main Reddit exodus in early July, and has steadily improved since. And more than anything else, I attribute that to users leaving.

The thing is that at least some significant part of the people who have left are people who couldn’t or wouldn’t appreciate the threadiverse for what it is and instead spent their time whining about the ways in which it isn’t the same as Reddit.

And honestly, good riddance to them.

There are always going to be people who can and do appreciate the threadiverse for what it is. Those who are already here will stay and at least some of those who haven’t discovered it yet will, and will move here. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I just want to be able to control what I see. I have no desire to control what other people see and I sure as fuck don’t want other people to control what I see.

That’s it. That’s my entire position on the matter.
