Re: Zero Season 4, Episode 6 - Spoiler Warning I know everyone is immediately wondering if this episode cooked or whether it flopped, given its importance. Don't worry. IT FUCKING COOKED. HARD. ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE EPISODE. LIKE MAN, I HAD ANOTHER JAW TO THE FLOOR MOMENT. The first half was pretty good, and of course, the infamous scene with Reid and Emilia was kept, with her bouncing boobily. There were some good action cuts, and I especially liked the way they subtly introduced the fact Reid was able to stop Julius' sword with mere chopsticks. It will catch anime onlies off guard! AND FOOD FOR THE NOVEL READERS AFTER. They not only kept the reference to the three strongest of each nation, but we get silhouette designs of each. INCLUDING THE CRAZED PRINCE. AND THEN THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE OF THE EPISODE. I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL TOO MUCH OF IT. BUT OMG. THE SOUND DIRECTION. THE DIRECTION. THE WAY THE SCRIPT THROUGHOUT THE EPISODE USED CONTENT FROM SEASON 1 AND ANIME ORIGINAL CUTS SHOWING FLASHES OF JULIUS' PAST. THE OST MAN. INCREDIBLE. JUST WATCH AND SEE ON WEDNESDAY! And of course, after we have Subaru trying to support Julius down the stairs and their talk. The episode ends on the scene shown in the official second trailer, that I attached to this post, with a really neat tie in to a certain Season 1, Episode 13 (something that is thematic throughout the episode). 😉 Not an extended length episode. Title: Julius Juukulius.

should i kill my self

🚨 OpenAI's lawyers filed a motion asking the judge to allow Brockman to testify in front of the jury with a verbal recollection of a settlement message between him and Musk >Musk reached out to gauge interest in settlement >Brockman proposed both sides drop their claims >Musk refused surrender: "By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be." The mainstream news is leaving out what the filing actually says: OpenAI is NOT asking to introduce the screenshot. They want only Brockman's verbal recollection, not the actual exchange. Why verbal, not screenshot? OpenAI's lawyers are trying to play the victim card by putting Brockman on the stand today with a sympathetic story. Brockman is the same defendant whose November 2017 private diary read: "I cannot believe that we committed to non-profit if three months later we're doing b-corp then it was a lie." Brockman is the person who emailed Musk "honor to work alongside you" six weeks after writing in private that they were planning to oust him. The defense is trying to substitute emotion for evidence because they have no direct evidence Musk's lawsuit is competitive warfare. The anti-competitive frame is the ONLY frame OpenAI has left, because the structural-equity case is what they cannot answer, so they are reaching for tactics.


Why was it so hard for Korra to master Airbending??



well this feels OOC for Aang, and even Katara Aang giving special attention to Tenzin makes sense, but taking him and only him on trips just doesn't feel like something he'd do, and Katara definitely wouldn't allow that
