@alidan There is no such thing as "raw footage", even the most bare-bones helmet-cam/smartphone documentary has intent behind it. Still: WTF is 403rd company. I knew the author had no clue about military stuff, but this is weak, even for him.

@anon763 Cleaning and cooking become as stressful as a full time job (yet gets nowhere the recognition) when you live in a family of more than two people. Children alone, especially if they are young, take up much time. If you live alone the amount of time you spend of those things amounts to...

@saifors In the page of human(!) history the plague is really just a page. It came, killed thousands and went. For most of human history (read up until the end of WWII) most people on earth used most of their money for daily necessities and of that most was food. Keep in mind that up until the...

@jokerxhisoka That an individual soldier has a (moral) responsibility in addition to his orders is a pretty new (and European) way of thinking. For most of mankind's history you had to shut up and do what your superior told you to do. If you didn't do it, and you weren't protected by "everybody...

@mahtan Both types of HIV originate from apes and were transmitted to humans in the early 20th century, see: Sharp PM, Hahn BH (2011). "Origins of HIV and the AIDS Pandemic". Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine and Faria NR, Rambaut A, Suchard MA, Baele G, Bedford T, Ward MJ, Tatem AJ...

@xakirax That's pretty much bullshit. As others pointed out, you'd need a pretty humid area for this to happen, but then it's going to rain anyway. Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt. To combat even a minor drought it needs to rain multiple days straight, else the rainwater is just...

New reader is nice, but I miss the ability to download single pages. Any chance to get it back? Sometimes I store the images on disk to make memes out of it or use it for a few personal references.

@Anoon2323 The windpipe article on English honorific is far too simple and doesn't convey even the most basic things about english Etiquette. Again: English and all other Germanic Languages convey honorifics with grammar and sentence structure as opposed to Japanese suffixes, that's why you...

@Ironclad Attack on Titan is heavily influenced by Germanic tropes and perceptions, but takes a good portion from Romance based countries as well (e.g. the King never had as much of an important position in German lands like in AoT, that's a French thing). The same goes for the Eldian's later in...

@aFFi No, it's unprofessional, that's where @Ironclad is right. English has as much honorifics (if not more) than Japanese, you just have to know them. I already explained the basics, that in English you do honorifics with grammar. It's especially bad when you see mangas not playing in Japan...

@aFFi The thing is. "Onii" and "Ani" are the same word, the "O" just indicated a higher level of respect. "Aniki" can simply be translated as "bro" (which btw: is not just American slang) and "Aniue" is just a very archaic form of "Ani". English has that as well, well sort of. Since English is a...
