>>13884844It's a nice change though, to see someone concerned with what they're saying in a place like this.
>although to be fair, you did say that the anime was homura's story told through madoka.That's how it felt to me, and it did work in the series as Madoka still felt important. I guess my main question regarding the movie would be, why did that story have to be told in the first place?
>books and movies don't really have that luxury.In certain instances they might, for example when a story has multiple interpretations. Though I suppose that's a different kind of interaction.
>didn't lovecraft frequently complain that he could write william hope hodgson stories, but not lovecraft stories?I am not sure about that. Nor do I really understand what he was trying to get at... I know Lovecraft admired Poe and Lord Dunsany but I haven't heard of him mentioning Hodgson before.
>a lot of american media portrays college as being this wild time of self exploration, discovery, and connection-making. it's nothing like that.It's the same in Europe as well. But to me all of that besides the last bit feel like empty words. I hear them a lot but what do "exploration" and "self-discovery" actually mean? I somehow doubt it's about studying...
>has any part of the USA handled covid well?I don't think any country has really. I wonder if it'll ever end, because even countries with very high vaccination rates like the Netherlands are shutting down...
>especially if you enjoy it more than the alternatives.I don't think there are a lot of alternatives, that's the issue. Most jobs feel the same, only their titles differ... Office jobs I mean.
>>13884878Well some people can't adapt to that sort of setting. But they have other options, some choose to learn a trade for example as that's more compatible with them and so on...
