  • Popo was based on Jinns or genies. Staff Officer Black, yes that’s his name, comes more from the Japanese getting a lot of Jim Crow era cartoons, but not knowing the historic baggage that comes along with it. It was mostly considered a racial caricature that didn’t really carry the same sort of hate we know it for in America. He also had Native America caricatures that most people don’t seem to have an issue with.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t be looking to Toriyama for anything other then “Big Guy punches other Big Guy until one goes down”. He’s politically naive, not hateful. There’s a short list of other manga-ka who’s politics and… crimes should give you more concern. How Nobuhiro Watsuki is a free man bogus my mind.








  • Really depends on what you want and expect. “Military Grade” or real military surplus? I’ve been happy with my diesel generator and the jerry cans are definitely better then civilian stuff. I managed to get a military surplus 6.2L diesel engine for a engine swap, which has a few advantages over the civilian version. Water proof, steel ammo cans are definitely plastic shoe boxes from walmart.

    The problem with therapy is when you don’t share the life goals of the therapist or the people trying to help you, you end up in a gridlock. I have never had a productive experience with therapists as an adult and I don’t have infinite money to keep trying. My experiences with therapist or other support people in the public school system was downright evil as they wanted me to accomplish their life goals rather then my own.

    I know why I’m depressed. I’m depressed because the world is broken and the people that want to do something about it are stonewalled by the people who benefit from it being broken. The elites that know they benefit from it being broken and view that are the natural order and their delusional followers who carved out a bit of limited success in their “professionalism.” Those “professionals” fill the school system and hamper kids who could do better and brainwash them to settle for financial success.
