    This is Shawn Fain's big goal. Also the UAW's white whale for years. Actually unionizing plants in the south.

    The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

    Last time, VW was welcoming the UAW with open arms. They invited them into the shop to give talks to the workers and everything. So much so that Tennessee lawmakers were threatening to retract the subsidies for building that auto plant because they couldn't comprehend a company being pro union.

    I am deeply curious how VW will play the issue this time.

    I thought I remembered that. Part of it is VW is so use to the German system where communication is done through the vertically integrated union they were confused by the push not unionize by local politicians and their own workers.

    But also they have been in the US a lot longer now.

    When first setting up the plant, VW wanted it to have a works council like every other worldwide plant they have. Their assessment of US law was that this would require their workers being unionized.

    I don’t actually understand why that would be, but that’s beside the point. So VW basically went: will somebody please unionize these workers. And the Republican legislators proceeded to lose their shit.

    Very funny all the way around, including the workers voting “no” in the end. I’m confident German top management was thoroughly puzzled by the entire chain of events.

    One chapter give or take then its obvious she has a crush neither of them have any idea how to act on those feelings

    Yes I've read the first couple of chapters. Her having a crush and acting out on it by bullying him doesn't invalidate my description.

    It takes a short while for the degree of bullying to go from 11 (ouch) down to 8, which is still a bit hurtful but not "bully porn" levels, then gradually goes down to a playful, more tolerable 5 when it becomes obvious that they're mutually attracted to each other. It takes Senpai a bit longer to get out of "pathetic dork" levels, though (but faster than Seto in that other romcom manga).

    Honestly, pretty much at the end of season 2 episode 1 in the anime it’s just tolerable teasing and she’s equally getting flustered if not more by the situations she creates.

    I tried to watch the Nagatoro anime adaptation when it came out, but bounced off hard after episode 1. I think I was even fast forwarding through it to make scenes end faster. It was just too unpleasant. After that episode I was more willing to root for her to be hit by a truck (isekai'd?) than root for them to get together, and it wasn't even close.

    However, the stuff that's been posted from the manga here from the later chapters does look a lot better and more interesting. If I were to try to give the show another shot, how many episodes should I skip so as to get to the good version of the characters?

    Skip episode 1, skip the first 2/3rds of episode 2, definitely watch 3, skip the first half of 4 and first half of 5, definitely skip 6 (or maybe watch the first half for some context on cat nagatoro), then do 7 onward. Easy peasy.

    Maybe they're just scared of her. She was a member of the party that defeated the Demon King.

    What if one day, she decided the Empire also needed toppling?

    I'm halting my viewing of Hunter x Hunter with the end of the yorknew city arc to let the podcast I'm listening to catch up. But dang, some pretty good tv in that season! I loved that it didn't wrap up neatly for Kurapika, and that the show leaves on everyone being like "wow, Kurapika is Not Doing Great At The Moment". Revenge is hard! Tough business, all the way around.

    Shame that picture doesn’t include the recent flashback to the beginning of the school year, where the author leaned into the joke by reducing her ahoge:

    For clarity, Funimation was $54.99 a year, Crunchyroll was and is $99.99 a year. Crunchyroll isn’t raising their prices (though they almost definitely will within the next year), but anyone switching from Funi to Crunchyroll is going to be paying more.

    Gremlin is usually a descriptor to describe someone with... kind of weird chaotic, mischevious energy? Often times with animated characters they will switch animation to a kind of chibi style and maybe give them cat ears they don't normally have and have them literally scurry around. Think Maomao in Apothecary Diaries when she gets excited about herbs.

    And cinnamon roll being a person who is too good and pure for this world.

    Actually, I'm not sure you CAN get Crunchyroll for $99.99 a year now. I just looked around both the site and through general searches, they're only offering month-to-month, which means two things. That Twitter post that everyone is reacting to is more full of crap than I initially thought (how dare they offer this high price [that they don't offer anywhere]) AND they could have made it worse if they had any idea what they were talking about, because the annual price (added up from the month to month charges) is $120, not $100. If someone can find a way to pay for annual (not an annual plan that you already have running from the past), please prove me wrong, that would be a better price overall.
