I’m aware of a few early isekai works from like the 80’s to 90’s (Dunbine, Elf Hunter, and quite a few western Choose Your Own Adventure books and pulp novels fall into this category). It seems to be that as a trend, the premise is that the main character wants to get back to the “real” world and that usually drives the main plot.

Then theres a big trend of Isekai light novels (and related anime etc) in the later 2000’s to today. These almost exclusively seem to feature characters who just want to live a life in their new fantasy world. Literal escapism, even. Konosuba is notable for being very popular, maybe being around the start of this trend, and the main character is given a task to complete and be returned to the real world, but he just ignores it.

I guess we can speculate on whether this means people got more miserable in the intervening time.

Ashli babbitt got into a political protest about election fraud. She decided to climb over a barrier while a cop was pointing a gun at her and got shot.

This lady got into a confrontation with cops trying to make a tiktok video and shouting like a Karen. She decided to slam the gas on her car while an officer was in front pointing a gun at her and got shot.

Obviously he was referring to Biden’s presidency, which he claims was the result of a rigged election?

Bro its literally left wing Ashli Babbitt

Huh?

Not sure which comment to go with here.

The “white lives matter” people are split because the cop is also white (and she almost ran him over).

Turns out you don’t have to be black to get shot when running from (and nearly over) the cops. BLM supporters shocked.

BLM is shocked that white people don’t support one of their own when they do something wrong just because they’re white.

I could almost call you all morons for jumping to a very biased reading of the facts, though of course Trump went schizoposting on twitter to do the same thing.

Look, just admit you didnt want to read the whole article. These “waaaaah X% of CEOs” are completely and totally irrelevant to the world of entry level hiring and academics, which is the point. Assuming you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, it’s people like you who got grandfathered in who are the problem.

And besides, what is he supposed to teach his son to do to get hired in fields that openly state they won’t read his resume? I mean, become trans maybe. Thats about the only thing in your power.

Anyway, in case you’re not lying about being a hiring manager, you should probably reminded that yes, the stuff you’re doing is actually illegal and they might even decide to start enforcing it. https://www.schmitt.senate.gov/media/press-releases/senator-schmitt-sends-letter-highlighting-abuse-of-h-1b-visa-program-for-dei-hires/

Be honest, you’ve done some of this havent you? Your white guy CEO boss might have told you this is legal to hire only black women or foreigners so the numbers balance out, but it’s not lol.

I find you choice to use “victim blaming” in this context very telling.

If you read the whole article, you read about hiring offices openly discriminating in an illegal way, and you read that it was so severe, people knew not to even apply to positions because the discrimination is so bad. If you’ve been in college or the job market in the last 10 years, I’m sure you also know this isn’t just made up or an isolated case.

So who, in this context, is the “victim”? Who is “blaming” them? Obviously the victims are the people facing real and very extreme hiring discrimination. He’s not blaming the minorities who got hired instead, but I think that’s what you’re assuming here.

You seem to believe that “victim” means minority by definition.

Inb4 the difference between glancing and staring is how attractive the guy is

Absolutely top tier failure to read the article.

Bro I’m not circling my neighbors house because he bought a new rifle. Have you tried living in a democracy?

“I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”

“I’m just commenting the letter N. I don’t know what the next commenter might reply!”

“No, of course our reactor needs pure uranium. But it’s for peaceful purposes.”

By your logic, really you shouldn’t complain no matter how close our vastly superior stealth bombers fly to that shitty dam.

Are you worried Taiwan is going to invade Beijing? Is chinas army that incompetent?

I mean, it would be cool if they did but I don’t think even corrupt Chinese generals are that worthless.

So they should get to annex one little country, as a treat? Lol

(Also depending how you define military action, thats false. They keep having border scuffles with India for starters.)

Yeah. Trump told you not to rely on Russian gas and did you listen? No, you didnt and now you buy Russian gas (through India), thus funding Russia, while telling us to shoulder the majority of the burden of funding Ukraine. Just for one example.

During peacetime, all the corn fields kept operational with subsidy that just create corn which is fed to livestock seem like a waste.

But if China (or anybody else) pulls a fucky-wucky and makes it difficult to get food imported from outside the US, we slaughter the livestock and then have enough corn to feed the whole nation (and a lot of our allies). Without missing a beat.

Did he groom kids tho?
