This seems like a weirdly unnecessary way to not quite manage to duplicate what lemmy has been designed to do.
How do I make it just work with just my original account?
You go to the community list for your instance and do a search on the URL of the community you're interested in. Then (assuming that your instance is federated with the other one) your instance will create its own mirror of the community, and you're done.
Yeah - I don't even really understand how all of that works. I see that people apparently sincerely believe, but I have no idea how - what it is that goes on inside their brains that allows them to make that leap to actually believing.
I don't know that it does, but I can see how it could.
One way that neurodivergence can manifest is as a relative inability to simply assume things - a relatively outsized need for clear evidence on which to base a conclusion. And religion is notably devoid of actual evidence.
Digital, no contest.
I'm an old guy and I've been buying and reading books for most of my life. I own thousands of them, filling up shelves and stacked on tables and cluttering everything, and that's even with the bulk of them in boxes in my garage. I love them and I love being surrounded by them, but they're a chore and a burden.
And I have a collection of almost as many ebooks, all in a few GB on a tablet.
So ebooks win on space and convenience.
As far as the actual process of reading goes, they're pretty close to the same, but ebooks have a bit of an edge. I have no issues with a screen, so words on a screen or words on paper are pretty much the same. Physical pages though are bound along one edge and flexible and generally at least subtly curved, while a screen is perfectly flat and evenly lit. Also, on a physical page, I'm stuck with whatever typeface is there, while with an ebook, I can scale it to whatever I want or even change the font or colors or whatever. so ebooks win there too.
And while I'm reading an ebook, I can search the text for any term or character name or phrase, so I can refresh myself on things or find a particular passage or whatever without laboriously thumbing through the pages, and I can switch over to a browser anytime to get background for anything or just look up a word.
And when I finish or drop an ebook, I can just tap the back arrow to go to my shelf, or switch over to an app or browser and go online, and find another one.
So... yeah. I really don't think there's one single thing that physical books do better than ebooks, other than serving as decoration - filling space on shelves.
No surprise there. He's a middle-aged teenage edgelord - what else would he do other than play video games and shitpost on used-to-be-twitter?
Three different impressions of which was which in four pages - that was a neat trick.
I would guess that if there's a romantic winner, it'll be Mei, since Mimiel technically isn't even human, and has bigger goals. And neither girl can lose - they're too sympathetic - so the only way I see it ending with a romantic resolution is if one of them willingly cedes to the other, which would work out with Mimiel, since that would be her understanding not just her love for Ren, but her love for Mei.
Mostly though, I'd expect it to spin its wheels and keep the focus on gags and fanservice. And I'm okay with that - they're both quite well done.
I thought of that too, then realized that that's undoubtedly why she has that sort of bob hairdo instead of the more stereotypical lacquered mass of gyaru hair.
Just spent the last hour or so catching up with this, and I'm still not sure what I think.
It's a fan-servicey gag manga about a fallen angel boke who sort of alternates between quoting scripture and being innocently provocative and charmingly ignorant, the long suffering high school student tsukkomi who's been roped into taking care of her, and assorted friends, classmates and neighbors.
It's... not quite like anything else.
I have no idea how this is going to go, but I thought it looked promising.
This is adorable.
Absolutely.
But that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about making the leap from recognizing that such a being could exist to believing that such a being does exist. That, to me, is so bizarrely irrational that I can't even work out how it is that people apparently actually do it.
