Could you explain?

DEI isn't just a dog whistle for racism, it's also sexism.

Yeah, the lack of emotions is definitely a defence mechanism against the traumatic memories. It's nice that they're exploring this topic

I'm pretty sure it applies when you're around men who are not immediate family.

There's also "air fry", which is just an aggressive convection oven

I didn't like Season 1 as much, I think because the story was scattered around introducing so many characters. I also agree that ecchi is a turn-off for me, but I liked the concept, characters, and production value enough to stick with it.

I think the strength of the 3rd season onwards is that it relies more on the established cast, rather than introducing a ton of new characters all the time.

So, can I pick this up and just start watching? Or is there another series I should watch before this?

I disagree. I had to stick with it through Season 1 and 2, but I got hooked and ended up binging Seasons 3 and 4.

Dungeon People and Parry Everything look like they'll be pretty good, but otherwise, I agree

This episode is a serious tearjerker! Great conclusion for the series, I'm glad we get to see adult Kumiko continuing the legacy

It's not the moral code that's the issue, it's that people with ADHD tend to act impulsively on things they view as unjust, like you're temporarily blinded to the consequences of your actions.

Medication can help a lot with making a more measured response, or deciding that's it's not worth it to pursue any further.

I'm more familiar with the automotive sector, but this is pretty huge. The Clean Air Act only said that the EPA should limit emissions. The standardized drive cycles and testing procedure were all determined by the EPA themselves. What happens now if an automaker challenges these procedures? The EPA loses authority to create the test procedures, and the automakers can just give them numbers and say "trust us"

I can't imagine that Congress could competently create laws for vehicle test procedures themselves. I imagine we'll just default to California testing requirements for a lot of cars, but I don't imagine it's going to play out well as a whole
