Like an angry 5 year old, crossed arms and all, but they're just adorable and you can't take 'em seriously.
Thanks!
My sleep paralysis is pretty different to what you’d imagine. I did have one episode that was terrifying af and I’m still not convinced there wasn’t more to it than being a bit stressed or something like that.
But the other times I had it, they’re very harmless. Of course, I can’t move anything except my eyes, but it’s not pitch black, there isn’t a weird demon thing staring at me and I don’t have the horrible pressure on my chest.
It’s daylight, looks to be late morning and it feels as though there’s someone asleep next to me. I can feel the dip in the mattress and I can hear them breathing, but I’m not at all threatened. Sometimes I can feel them slightly pressed against me. But I just ignore them and go back to sleep.
One time, I could hear them waking up and they’re moving around. So I tell them if they’re going to get up, then get up because I’m trying to sleep. I couldn’t tell if I said that in my my mind or out loud but they obeyed. I couldn’t see them, but I could definitely feel them slowly climb over me to get out of bed and they nudged the head of the big unicorn I keep on my bed.
What are your thoughts on this?
Every chapter up to the Conviction Arc an Apostle seemed like a creature so overwhelmingly strong and sadistic that facing one was like a god ordained death sentence.
So strong that Guts needed to be better than he needed to be with a sword (in the world of humans) just to be able to kill these things.
Ever since Guts found the Berserker armor he’s been butchering apostles like those humans during the Rescue Griffith chapters. And he was already at demon slayer level by then.
The Apostles just don’t convey a lot of threat anymore.
At this point I’m kinda hoping Griffith sends a demon army to rape and eat all the little woodland creatures in Elfheim.
Like, I'm on my 3rd character and his frustrated face when you first see him makes me wanna pinch his cheeks.
Edit: Can I even add a flair on my phone? My computer died after 7 years of loyal service.
A recent Press Freedom Index score penalized the US for the President's verbal attacks on the media (calling them 'fake news' and the like). I believe that this has nothing to do with freedom of the press. Even if the government gets to put a logo on friendly media calling them "Verified" and calls unfriendly media fake or tabloid, that should still be totally irrelevant to the press freedom index unless that bashing can be expected to result in financial penalties, arrests, or beatings.
The only things that should count towards a press freedom index are the number of topics/words/viewpoints that will result in a financial, legal, or physical penalty for expressing. Those can be official rules with legal penalties, informal calls for mobs to beat reporters, taxes on specific journals, or funding for compliant journals that is denied to noncompliant journals.
OH, I'm surprised to learn Aya is familiar with the concept of city planning.
It seems to have become a long-standing tradition in the U.S. Navy to name warships after major political figures, regardless of their particular martial ferocity or international legacy. This has led to other countries having ships with names like Britain's Vengeance or France's Orion... versus American vessels like the USS Carl Vinson. Nothing against Rep. Vinson and his achievements, but it's not a name to strike international terror. And yet, the Vinson strike group on its own is probably one of the most formidable assemblies of naval power in the history of the human race. It just doesn't seem appropriate, somehow?
In short:
- Why do American vessels largely carry names from political figures rather than otherwise?
- How are these names chosen?
