I am sympathetic to her arguments (these devices are here to stay and we need to prepare kids to have a healthy relationship with their phones and social media), but realistically, most parents and teachers aren't capable of preparing kids in that way.

My only complaint is I wish this was Delphox's normal design. Always thought its final form should be riding around on its stick like a witch.

Not sure it was ever implied that bio-dad was in favor of women's rights. Just that he didn't mean to abandon the woman he loved with a child. He still sees no problem with the idea of buying a bride, if I am recalling correctly.

Personally found it super hard to follow when I read it. I am told this is a common problem people have, though, so I think I need to give it another read.

With how cutthroat the industry can be, even if an ending is planned out most series will never get to show it cause most series get cut within 20 chapters. Nature of the format pressures artists to focus on really strong openings, cause that's the only way they'll get to write any ending.

The reason Arlong Park is a good metric is that not only is the full core cast assembled by that point, it is the first time the story really pays itself off. After that point, you have an idea of how all future sagas will happen from then on, and can decide whether you trust Oda with your time.

I could maaaybe see the justification for having Wonder Woman voting Republican pre '08, in like a Christopher Hitchens supporting the Iraq War kind of way. The myth of the 'compassionate conservative' pretty much died with McCain.

Given that Metropolis in the show is located in Kansas as well, rather than New York like it is in the comics (according to google), Kansas probably isn't even a red state in the continuity of the show. Once you plant a giant blue city in the middle of it, it no longer makes sense for it to be.

Anyway, I am sorry for bombarding you with an essay post as a response. Just wanted to try to not be misconstrued as defending some of Nietzsche's other, dumber ideas.

This might just be a matter of semantics, but I would still consider the famously accommodating prisons of Sweden, which have a heavy emphasis on rehabilitation, to be a punishment- if a more lenient one than what the US offers.

Atonement has to be voluntary and come from a genuine place of repentance. If I force someone to atone, that is a punishment. And if we don't force people to make restitution to their victims, well, the bully just goes on bullying, and we end up in our current political situation.

As far as the difference between atonement and punishment, at risk of getting into semantics I don't see a contradiction there.

a fear I'd say has been born out, imo, as most 'Christians', especially in America, are far more likely to follow Trump than any teachings of Jesus.
As you say, life isn't black and white. There is no action that is 100% good for all situations. Maybe a few that are 100% bad, like sexual assault.

This is, in fact, what he actually means by 'god is dead.' Christians, in their 'will to truth' and seeking 'logos'(God) through science and philosophy, have actually resulted in a loss of faith among the masses, which he fears will be replaced by various nihilistic state religions,

The broader context would be that one of Nietzsche's core ideas is that all belief systems also hold the potential for their own negation. An idea he shares with Marx, funnily enough. Here he is obviously talking about liberalism, but he also says similar things about conservatism.

And, given that Nietzsche hated nationalism, cults of personality, and insecure people, he'd absolutely despise Trump and Musk and anyone too spineless to stand up to them.

The irony is that the quote is an apt criticism of the Democratic Party elite, it's just that the criminals that Biden was too scared to punish were Trump and Musk and all their cronies, not illegals, who are actually a net benefit to our society.
