Osomatsu-san movie and first five episodes of season three

The new staff is basically trying to be super nuanced and metaphysical about a gag anime that started in 1966. The jokes are weak, and they're talking about heavier topics. I don't think they're trying to be a comedy animated, anymore.

in episode 4 they tackled the issue of being a divorced single parent, but then follows up with a joke that kind of pissed me off. I liked everything about the bit, but tackling such a serious topic to have it end like that was in poor taste. but in episode 5 they had the boys do more contemplating about how their lives are going and what they want for their futures in terms of relationships.

I think I was right about what I said about season 2, about how we see everything through such a heterosexual cisgender lens, but that's because we're only seeing the world through their lens. They have a strict social structure that they are only reflecting off of, and the reason why we only see heterosexuality and cisgenderism is because that's all they know. the issue that they tackled in episode 4 in direct contrast to the conversation they had in episode 5 feeds my perspective on that.

this might be a story about how they're being pressured to fit into this mold that they can't fit into because of who they are. I'm willing to stick by this to see how the issues come to a head. I'm also ready for this to be the last season, because if they do all the same things they did in the past two seasons and don't resolve any issues less and less people are going to bite and I doubt they'll be able to squeeze out a fourth season.

the new studio seems to be more interested in them growing as characters instead of the jokes. Speaking for myself, I came into this comedy anime expecting jokes. but if you don't want to be a comedy anime anymore, that's fine. just be transparent with the audience and let them make a fully informed decision to decide what they want to watch.

In the movie and season 3, the brothers are interacting with each other on a more normal level. If you watch the first two anime from 1966 and 1988, you'll see their interactions are more familiar than what we got in the reboot season 1 and season 2.

I saw it more notably in Jyushimatsu in the movie and season 3. As children, J was the different one, but he kept the level head. He wasn't necessarily the most observant, but stuff like that can change with time. As an adult, J is very underrated observant. I guess the new staff realized that locking them into archetype modules isn't fun.

They're also steering away from Osomatsu being the leader. Technically, the movie was about Karamatsu.

Bewelcome won't get any better

With the recent implosion of Couchsurfing, people are flocking over to bewelcome and trusted roots in great numbers. Trusted Roots is pretty bare-bones in terms of user-to-user communication. They have a private messaging system, and they have a meat system that leaves much to be desired. But TR could possibly be focusing more on hosts and guests rather than Meats, but everything about it is pretty basic. Except for the map. Their map is actually very exceptional. Bewelcome has a lot of obvious potential to replace couch surfing in terms of popularity and usage, but unfortunately it won't. The main reason I've observed is that it's run by an older generation that isn't willing to shake on its Traditional Values for a younger Generations concerns. And my personal experience, I've made a suggestion and a group that were both rejected. I suggested a blocking feature, because with the growth of a user use usage, it's important for people to have agency over

TikTok paid a lot of money to make sure you never hear about these other apps

If you're black, brown, disabled/ disfigured, trans, or talk about any form of progressive politics or human rights you probably have a lot of issues with TikTok. A lot of us have five accounts to try to get around tiktok banning us, but what if we didn't have to live like that? What if we embraced the apps that tiktok paid all those millions of billions and advertising to make sure we never know about?  BIGO (little blue dinosaur logo) and Live. Me+ is where TikTok ripped a lot of its framework for their livestreaming setup from - and then paid billions of dollars in advertising to make sure you never hear about those apps.  And since these apps aren't popular, there are less white people. Not to say that these are designated black and brown spaces, but there are marginally less white people. And in my experience, when I first went on to bigo and live.me - for the few North American white people there were on the suggestions page, most of them were sex workers.  In my opi

Takoda Institute and adult education program REVIEW

The video: https://youtu.be/Uxcfu9c28YM this is a review of The takoda Institute adult education on Franklin avenue in Minneapolis Minnesota! Availability - they have reasonable daytime hours, 8 - 3 and 4. Accessibility - as someone who admittedly isn't disabled, I would say that the building is easy to navigate with wide hallways and a lot of movable furniture. The doorways do seem kind of narrow to me, so I don't know how someone with wheelchair would get into some of the rooms. But if someone who isn't wheelchair-bound I don't know what the necessary with is. But they feel narrow to me is an able-bodied person. Location - the main office in a lot of the adult education programs in a right on cedar and Franklin. These are bus routes blue Line, 22, 2, 67, and a 9 mainly. I would say that's a great location with high Public transportation traffic. cedar avenue and Franklin avenue are not so great during rush hour for personal vehicles. they do have their own parking
