I think a lot of people were expecting this for the longest time… but wouldn’t have minded being wrong, of course.

Hope that she gets better soon (and maybe we’ll see her collab with a certain SAO fangirl again?)

Since I was really confused after watching this and I guess someone else might be too, this is done with Portalgraph (TL;DR from what I’ve understood: it’s more VR than AR, you connect the camera/visor to the pc, and the monitor displays different angles according to the current position of the “viewer”. Still pretty cool effect.)

So in the end that means you can, and already did, cross that line. You just don’t want to do that when it specifically comes to voting.

I still think the ultimate outcome wouldn’t have changed but yeah, rewatching it he does seem a bit more provocative than in the rest of the interview. Maybe it did tick him off a bit too much and he decided to go for it in the heat of the moment.

I think it’s because he hoped there were actual guarantees, considering Trump is definitely interested in Ukraine’s mineral industry. But as the meeting went on it became increasingly clear that keeping Putin his BFF was even more important and he just wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

You’re still supporting genocide by proxy by living in the US and paying taxes, contributing to the GDP and whatnot, though. You should move and contribute to a different country if you really can’t stand to support genocide in any form.

I mean, he was asking a question that had to be asked at one point or another. If Vance had an answer to that, he wouldn’t have lost face. If he didn’t, that means any kind of deal they could’ve made would’ve been useless (if not harmful) to Ukraine.

What would’ve he gained by not making that question? The chance to make a deal with no warranties? I feel like he’s a very good strategic thinker, and that wasn’t a choice dictated by pride or by the heat of the moment. There was nothing significant to gain by not asking that question, they would’ve just discussed the deal behind closed doors and he’d still have to refuse because Trump’s only warranty would still be “well so far he hasn’t broken promises with me, though”.

That’s kinda surreal but it’s to be expected considering the audience. Business Insider readers probably care just the bare minimum about what is she actually doing and more about “how can I gain money from this”.

Globally, Cover is a big deal. The company's market capitalization is about $160 billion yen

Wow, 160 billion dollaryens is a lot!

It can be saved, through voting in primaries, grassroot movements, and trying to pressure whoever is in power to do the right thing.

But all of this is only possible if you keep voting for the lesser evil. By electing people like Trump, the US population is sending the message that they like those positions, and therefore the other party will keep shifting more and more to the right to try and capture those voters. And the only way a nation can be saved under those conditions is violent revolution. Are you ready for violent revolution? Because if you’re not I’d suggest you either start a plan to migrate to a better country, or get accustomed to voting “against” people, instead of “for” people.

Too bad that in the US there’s three sides, two that support genocide and a third one which supports whoever gets the most votes out of the other two.

You literally can’t avoid “supporting genocide” in a FPTP system, refusing to choose just means letting others choose for you. And you can’t tell me in good faith that both outcomes were the same.

So what should’ve been the answer to Vance’s proposal of “diplomacy”, in your opinion? Do you think he shouldn’t have questioned the validity of it, in spite of the precedents? Wouldn’t that just mean accepting the deal without any guarantee of protection like it happened before?

〈HoloLive member: Shirakami Fubuki〉

This time, four of us, including Shirakami Fubuki, Houshou Marine, Tsunomaki Watame, and Otsuki Maki, sang "We Go!" from "SPECIAL EDITED VERSION ONE PIECE Fishman Island Arc"! I still can't believe that we, the Hololive members, can hear our singing voices from the "ONE PIECE" anime. I feel very honored to have been given this opportunity, and I am proud to have been involved in a work that I love.

〈HoloLive member: Takanashi Kiara〉

Kikkeriki! I'm Takanashi Kiara from Hololive English -Myth-. I'd like to comment on behalf of my friends Hakos Baelz and Kobo Kanaeru! It's a dream come true to be able to participate in such a wonderful project. This is a great milestone for us as it is the first time that the three of us have sung for an anime. We are so honored to be singing with the legendary Hiroshi Kitadani for our Hololive English/HoloLive Indonesia version! I hope that everyone will enjoy our version of "We Go!" among the many versions out there! The recording was so much fun and I can't wait to hear everyone's reactions.

〈Hiroshi Kitadani〉

This is the first time we've recorded this song that we've been singing in various places and situations for 14 years! And it's a collaboration with everyone at Hololive! While there are parts that are arranged in a pop style, there are also parts that are energetic and powerful and have a strong nuance, so please enjoy the new "We Go!" with stronger nuances!

〈Maki Otsuki〉

This time, we had the opportunity to collaborate with everyone at Hololive for the first time with "We Go!" I was also very happy that it was arranged by Mine Kushita, who I haven't seen in a while! From the cute singing voice, Nun! Otsuki will appear like the final boss, so please look forward to it~ (laughs)

I'm honored to be able to work with Otsuki Maki and all the Hololive members! This time, we've packed in a lot of different instruments and sounds as a special version of the great song "We Go!" from "ONE PIECE". I hope you'll listen to the full version!

I teamed up with tepe to create a dramatic arrangement full of adventure. The cute singing voices of the Hololive members and Kitadani's overwhelming vocals combine to create a world view that will instantly draw you in. The sound is sprinkled with exciting gimmicks that you can discover every time you listen, so please enjoy it to the fullest.

It's really like a dream to be involved with "ONE PIECE", which can be said to be the bible of my life. This time, I teamed up with TeddyLoid to update the song without forgetting to respect the original song. It's packed with a lot of sounds unique to "ONE PIECE", so be sure to check them out. People's dreams never end!!!

Italy's President Sergio Mattarella has told Elon Musk to stop interfering in the country's politics, after the tech billionaire criticised an Italian court for blocking the transfer of migrants to detention centres in Albania built through a controversial immigration deal.

Musk, who has been picked to jointly lead a new "Department of Government Efficiency" by US President-elect Donald Trump in his incoming administration, wrote on Tuesday on X that "these judges need to go".

He was referring to judges in Rome who had ruled against Italian PM Giorgia Meloni's initiative to outsource the processing and detention of some asylum seekers to Albania.

In a later post, the Tesla owner wrote: "This is unacceptable. Do the people of Italy live in a democracy or does an unelected autocracy make the decisions?”

 

Thought it might be interesting for someone since she did a karaoke a week ago and sounded… familiar, you know.

Couldn’t fit the name outside this time, but we got more stuff on the left so it’s all good (I also did a Koronesuki before the expansion, but that was a bit too far away to get in the screenshot lol).

Once again, thanks to everyone who contributed!

 

Italy’s parliament erupted into violence on Wednesday when a lawmaker was attacked while trying to hand an Italian flag to another MP over a local government bill.

According to local media, the lawmakers had been discussing a bill on so-called differentiated autonomy, introduced by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

The draft law calls for Italy’s individual administrative regions to be given wider rights of self-governance, which the Five Star Movement is against, fearing it will lead to the “disintegration of Italy.”

During the ensuing brawl, Donno was knocked to the ground and later taken to hospital in a wheelchair.

 

New posting is restricted and the only posts from the past two months are from their official account.

Took them long enough to realize how "negligible" the impact has been on the english community.
