Thank goodness that unimportant side-character, who definitely won’t end up being important later on, was there to catch the kitten for her! So glad to have this series back on-air, I just love the nice mixture of small little mysteries, intrigue, and Maomao’s selective obliviousness.

Yeah I had a huge laugh, this is just gonna suck for the people who get suckered into it.

Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I’ve been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn’t work perfectly but I’ve made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I’d highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I’ve become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

Our society already does effectively nothing to reconcile people’s conflicting schedules. Nor did it attempt to resolve this before the rise of the dual income household. You can see this is in the amount of media that portrays children’s trauma from fathers that are “too busy” being a breadwinner to be present in their life. Children want, and NEED all members of their family involved in their life. So I don’t think that the rise of women in the workforce deprived families in any unique way. Instead, I’d argue that it simply divided that neglect between two people. It’s not “good enough” to have one parent there 24/7 and another who exists to put food on their table and otherwise barely exists in their social life. They need to interact with their father, with their mother, with their uncles, aunts and grandparents. It’s simply rational socialization. I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for a “max workhours per household” instead of per person, instead of trying to divide households into a labourer at home and a labourer at large.

You are not supposed to downvote “unpopular opinions” because you disagree with them folks. That is not how this sub is supposed to work. OP posted a legitimately unpopular opinion, tell him why he’s wrong or upvote responses that disagree, don’t downvote him.

For my two cents OP, I think you have a point about more time needing to be devoted to child rearing. But I disagree that it needs to be a specific parent. If you reduce both parents workload enough to let them balance life responsibilities that’s actually BETTER than letting one parent take up all the slack. We require simply TOO much labor from EVERYONE, it’s totally unnecessary and wasteful and it’s part of what leads to our culture of burnout.

Stands for “Dual Income No Kids”.

I have hopes for this, I haven’t been able to really sink into a nice comfy anime in a while, so maybe this will scratch the itch.

Why would he call it a religion? Is it just bitterness over getting disagreed with?

Genuinely? I’ve reported multiple thefts over the years, never had any of it returned. Had to get a bike that was stolen from me (with my full name engraved) back by literally stealing it back from the person I knew stole it in the first place.

Extremely gross that they’re putting this much effort into protecting only the rich, But completely unsurprising. I don’t understand why SO MANY Americans are just completely accepting of this obvious favoritism.

This isn’t going to stop, just have to hope enough consumers have the wherewithal to say no to this sort of thing.

I hope we can do a little more at some point, but at least it’s something. I hope it doesn’t get treated as “enough”.
