@Gina Yes! And the blog ValleyWag - I can’t believe there isn’t anything like it

And keep going on

We treat pessimism as intelligence. The incentives explain it better than the evidence does.

Being wrong about doom costs a forecaster almost nothing. A wrong call on hope can cost a career, which leads careful people to pick the darkest forecast even when the evidence is mixed.

Philip Tetlock scored the predictions of 284 experts over 20 years. The worst had one grand theory and bent new facts to fit it.

@_elena I have a macbook air 2013 too, would like to make it live again. Maybe to have a linux machine to try its accessibility. But I don't know how to manage it, if I can perform an installation without sighted assistance

episode 8 goes so damn hard, start to finish. i didn’t get 10 when i first watched but it’s a stunner now for sure.

Paranoia Agent Episode 8-10

It breaks away from the main story and the next few episodes did the same. They were all almost self-contained short stories that didn't really move the plot forward but the tone of the main story set these episodes up to be some of the best episodes in TV anime I've seen so far.

I don't want to spoil the events but the focal characters for these episodes were particularly interesting. Especially episode 9 where it's just a bunch of gossiping aunties lol

I also mostly have favourite scenes. Much easier to come up with and more plentiful.

agreed on Frieren lol, too many to list

Going through my list made me realise that I don’t have favourite episodes; I have favourite scenes 😅

Anyway, here are mine:

1. 86 Part 2 Episode 12 - You know which scene I’m referring to

2. Umamusume Season 2 Episode 13 - The greatest

of all time

3. Medalist Season 2 Episode 3 - Would have been my top sports scene if not for Umamusume

May not be considered masterpieces by most, but they are masterpieces to me:

1. Gundam SEED Episode 33 (of the remastered version) - Best

of all time

2. Sword Art Online Episode 9 - Most hype for its time

Too hard for me to rewatch, but I’d consider them masterpieces:

1. DanDaDan Episode 7 - You know which episode I’m talking about

2. +1 for Violet Evergarden Episode 10 - You know which episode I’m talking about

And of course

3. Oshi no Ko Episode 1

Notable exclusions for having too many standout episodes:

• Gundam: Witch from Mercury
• One Punch Man Season 1
• Frieren

• Violet Evergarden ep 10 (Ann)
• Aria the Animation ep 6 (Athena introduction)
• Aria the Natural ep 10 (puppet master)
• Aria the Natural ep 15 (lunch)
• Aria the Origination ep 9 (Alice graduation)
• Kogepan ep 10 (being alive)
• Gochiusa?? ep 5 (Mocha comes to town and big moment for Chino)
• Gochiusa? Bloom ep 9 (Syaro and Chiya)
• K-ON!! ep 8 (flashbacks, music & tortoise themes, careers)
• Non Non Biyori, Lucky Star, Zetsubou sensei ep 1 (my favourite first episodes)
• A bunch of Gintama episodes like 188 (Madao asagao episode)

And with masterpiece I just mean whatever episodes come to mind that I like to rewatch on their own.

honourable mention: Aria the Crepuscolo (a short film so doesn’t count but it feels like a big Alice + Athena episode full of some of my favorite moments)

Surprising: I can’t think of a single Hidamari Sketch episode above the rest of them.

Unironic victim of Pentacostal hubris.

feel like i need to quote this to stress this fact: the absurd demand for AI compute WAS MADE UP. nvidia had a tsunami of RAM and wafers coming at it it didn't know what to do with and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of GPUs were channel stuffed so hard they're rotting in warehouses

this was market manipulation at massive scale to defraud investors
