    I do wonder how folk can defend Trump's aggression towards and invasion of states he happens to dislike.

    If he was ruling somewhere in the Middle East then no doubt he'd have been CIA'd already.

    Picked up a neat little visual novel in the steam sale called The NONexistence of You and Me. Deals with themes of self, loneliness, reality. Pretty heavy topics and was done quite intriguingly.

    Wife lost her job again.

    A bit of stability would be sort of nice.

    To enjoy Dandadan you need to be able to turn your brain ENTIRELY off. But it is good fun when you no-thoughts it. A shenanigan machine, if we will.


    I think what I like most about it is that every single "monster of the week" as it were, not only builds on the last, but all have an emotional core to them...like Turbo Granny is not just a yokai...but she
    Spoiler
    as an example from the first few eps. And they only get more emotional and traumatic from there.

    That said, I've read at least 6 or 7 arcs into the manga, so perhaps my view is longer since we are only 2 seasons into the anime.

    Anyways, I love it. I haven't found characters this enjoyable individually since The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya.


    Yeah, there's kernels of wholesome in that zany gobstopper of insanity.

    Mazur continues to be a right laugh.

    For some context, this concerns the legal services act which states that reserved legal activity has to be conducted by a qualified solicitor or a barrister who has cross-qualified as a solicitor. It doesn't include CILEX Fellows unless they have the extra accreditation that puts them on the same level as a full solicitor.

    Sounds pretty straightforward. Except for a long old time, most firms in the UK have been using non-solicitor staff to conduct litigation, which Mazur set precedent as stating they cannot do as the LSA states they can't. Where it gets messy is that the Civil Procedure Rules say that staff of solicitors firms are able to sign documents on behalf of their firm and the regulator has therefore allowed non-qualified staff to deal with what has been decided as reserved legal activity.

    So work lately has been primarily lots of staff running around trying to set up new processes to manage the ruling and the ramifications of it. I am exhausted on a constant basis. It'll settle down eventually but for now, guh.

    It's true. Mu tends to be my profile picture in most places. Her or Mai. Gotta maintain the harem, after all.

    Sorry for the late reply; lol, I'm nor even sure why I made this account. So yeah. But Hail Hydra, ya know. Haha.
    Also, belief it or not, I kinda imagined you'd have a BB avatar, after I'd seen your cover image. Nice to see I'm not always wrong. :p
