I don't think Asuka is actually a tsundere

She's sometimes seen as the archetypal tsundere, her (perceived) opposition to Rei paving the road to a thousand standoffs between tsundere and kuudere, such as Nagato vs Haruhi; but it doesn't seem right to me. Firstly because Nadia, from Anno's previous anime was much more of a tsundere, but also Asuka never felt like a tsundere to me in the first place; and I think I just found the words to explain why. She definitely has the "tsun"; she is hostile to the point of aggression towards Shinji, and it would also seems that she might be interested in him romantically (the "dere"). However, she lacks a causal relation between the two. See, the idea of a tsundere is that her hostility serves to hide the romantic feeling towards its object, which she doesn't want to admit. Asuna, however, isn't bashful about love. She has no qualms hitting on Kaji or kissing Shinji. The cause of her hostility is another feeling she represses and that's seeing herself in Shinji. The need she feels to be strong, talented, perfect, and getting praised for it is a huge part of her character; which is why she does away with any doubt or weakness. But Shinji is a reflection of all these weaknesses, and he doesn't have the "decency" to hide it like she does, and that's what makes him unbearable to her. And yet, perhaps some part of her wishes she could let herself be weak like he does. Like the widely hated line "What, don't to kiss a girl on the day of your mother's death?", she's making fun of supposed mommy issues Shinji might have, but really making light of her own mommy issues to help her dominate them. I think this plays intoher aggressive tendencies much more than romantic feelings, hence why I find the term "tsundere" less than appropriate.

Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V • Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka V: Houjou no Megami-hen - Episode 8 discussion
  • Already 5 seasons? I remember watching season 1 when I was in highschool. Strangely, I enjoyed it enough to finish it within one night, but didn't find it memorable. Then years past before another season came out, but when I checked it out I found it boring and left after one episode. And to me it feels like there was a decade between season 1 and 2 and a few months between 2 and 5.

  • Wherever I go, there you are
  • Oh no, without the power of friendship I am forced to begin a villain arc, which will only end in me conquering the world with te power of hatred. Or being killed by a hero while trying. Or being confronted by a hero, but instead of killing me he tells me a speech about how he's just like me and he keeps having flashbacks of a swing and then I am convinced to die heroically or something.

  • Wherever I go, there you are
  • It seems to me like you should try and acquire great enough power that you can help all those you can and punish all those who do you wrong; or who do the world wrong. Take control of the world and rule it; with a virtue without which terror would be grim, and terror without which virtue would be powerless.

    I'm also trying to do that, but there can be only one. See you at the top!

  • They're called leaves for a reason.
  • Since HOAs were mentioned, I assume the previous comment was about the US (unless there are countries in the Old World where they are as prevalent, but I know of none). Domestic honey bees aren't native to the US, and many native bees are endangered for many different reasons. In the rest of the world as well, honey bees aren't the only bees, or the only pollinating insects, and each pollinator has their plants of predilections, some species of plants depend entirely on some species of insect, so insect biodiversity is very important. Protecting native bees in the Americas has particular stakes, because they're the most adept at pollinating the native plants which are the cornerstones of several ecosystems.

  • Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe
  • Maybe it'd be an easy choice for the American left, but I'm from the French left. Along with groups such as La Quadrature du Net have been protesting reforms like the aforementioned european directive for adressing antiterrorist contents, of France's temporary ban on Telegram during the riots or the ban of Tiktok in Kanaky during the uprising, and now we're supposed to turn around and say "actually censorship is cool"? Are we to empower those we're fighting in hope that they exclusively use this power against our common enemies? I've left Twitter the very day its purchase by the muskrat was officialized and I've been telling everyone I know to do as much. Sure, a european ruling would give me something I want, but I don't trust in what comes next. There's no way the European Union bans X and don't end up blocking left wing fedi instances like ml or hexbear, as soon as their existence is brought to their attention.

  • Why no "elsetime" or "elseone" ?

    The word "elsewhere" conveniently exist to spare us the chore of saying "somewhere else". Why then do we waste or time saying "someone else" or "some other time"?

    "Hips don't lie" by Shakira feat Wyclef Jean tells a different story depending on how you interpret the "you" in "I never really knew you could dance like this"

    "You" can either mean the second person (Shakira in this case) or people in general. Therefore, "I never really knew you could danc like this" can mean either "I didn't know you (Shakira) were able to dance like this." or "I didn't know it was humanly possible to dance like this". It is usually context that tells these interpretations apart, for example, the first one would only make sense if Wyclef already knows Shakira. But is Wyclef's character supposed to know Shakira's in the story of the song?

    Two lines later, he asks her "Como te llamas?", which seems to imply that he doesn't. #However he later also says "Shakira, Shakira", even tho she hasn't answered yet, implying he did know her name. What gives?

    I'm not sure either why he keeps saying "No fighting".

    How do I disable some interferring xterm keybinds?

    TL:DR : I just want xterm to not do anything special when I start typing ctrl+shift+u so I can write special character, so I must remove the ctrl+u default keybind.

    I'm using xterm on a laptop (no discrete gpu and pretty bad integrated graphics, so gpu-accelerated ones like kitty are counterproductive, and I use i3 so an xorg based one sounds better). I also like using vim.

    I'm also using a qwerty keyboard, but sometimes write in French and need accents. I've memorized the codes for those I often need, like ctrl+maj+u+e+9 for é, but it doesn't work in xterm because it executes the ctrl+u keybind (delete previous characters and then types "(" (because it's maj+9).

    So, following online guides, I've created a .Xresource file with the following code: XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\ Ctrl <Key>U: none And I also added the line exec xrdb ~/.Xresources But to no avail, even when restarting the x session or manualy running xrdb ~/.Xresources.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I should've successfully configured internet sharing... Yet it still doesn't work.

    Hello!

    I recently moved, bringing both my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad X131e running Debian) and my desctop (msi A320m pro motherboard, amd ryzen 5 cpu, running Arch).

    My desktop didn't have a wifi card (I'd removed it to add a graphic card, my mobo didn't fit them both), it uses ethernet, but it turns out my new place has wifi included, but no ethernet. I'll grab my wifi card where I left it in two weeks, but in the meantime I wanted to connect my computer to my laptop so I could still use it with internet sometimes.

    I followed this guide to accomplish it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Internet_sharing Regarding the parts where there are several options:

    -For step 2.3.1 (Enable Nat) I used nftables, since that's what I had installed

    -For step 2.4 I chose to manually add an IP

    After that, the ethernet indicator at the bottom of my screen (I use i3) shows the address I added in green, so it should work... Alas, when I try updating or pinging any site, I get the "Temporary failure in name resolution" error. That is before I try to change anything about my dns conf. At the end, the wiki says "configure a dns server for each client". The client should already have a dns since I've been using it with ethernet. I tried manually setting the dns in mtui t see if that did something, but it just made the connection no longer work at all.

    So, what part might I be doing wrong? Thank you in advance if you have any advice, and thank you anyway for reading!

    Cruelle Destinée

    Des erreurs ont été commises

    Un nombre insuffisant de chaussures a été emmené lors du déménagement.

    Des chaussures ont été mises sans chaussettes, qui n'auraient dût être portées qu'avec.

    Du bicarbonate de sodium a été mis pour absorbé l'humidité, jusque-là sans beaucoup d'effet.

    Les souliers retrouveront-ils une odeur tolérable ?

    Seul le temps nous le dira, l'histoire reste encore à écrire.

    I might as well post the comment here now

    For context, the post I'm referring to is a map of Africa with subsaharia Africa in deep green, Sudan in light green and north Africa was white or some other color. The poster was claiming nothing had ever been invented in the green zone. My comment was gonna be this:

    Antiseptics before Europeans.

    Iron Smelting Not the first to discover it, but recent evidence show it was invented independently.

    Sudano-Sahelian Architecture

    Some modern Archtecture taking inspiration from Sudano-Sahelian features such as a roof shape favoring natural ventilation. And since I just transitioned to recent inventions, there's the Cardio Pad, invented in Cameroon, to help diagnose cardiovascular disease.

    Would it have made sense in the 80s to believe there were dinosaurs 40 million years ago ?

    I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?
