The usual. Fighting until glorious victory is reached, and while our vile enemy lives, we must hate each other forever, and willing to die by the million to ensure we can live in safety. Glory to the nation.

Europe was extremely brainwormed before too, but the war opened yet another Pandora’s box.

Travel influencers. Loathsome.

Also, I don’t trust any of them nowadays.

Iirc, it’s because of k-pop idolatry.

People who get full time jobs stop having 80% of their free time, which is instead sold to capital. They seem boring and focused on work, because work is all they have.

Average westerner in 2025.

Resist the politics of privatization and decay.

Too late. Railways have been converted to a public-private partnership in the 90s, and are trying to get broken up into a competitive market these days anyway, and local public transportation is also run by public-private companies. In the countryside, it’s usually managed by a private company in the first place, often organized in local organizations of several firms that offer the same fares - which usually has hard borders and can for example lead to villages next to each other having a 5 h connection time through railways, which don’t follow these area bounds.

The Nürnberg zones

The VGN has the benefit of being yuge at least.

I think Brandenburg’s is the whole state + Berlin. So that’s even better.

Not like the Deutschlandticket has any real future unfortunately. Gotta see if it at least survives the Merz government.

As for DB - the ICE are horrible when it comes to reliability, but I found the regional trains actually mostly pretty good. Even if they have the tendency to be kinda dirty and always have broken toilets.

Imagine the ENTIRE Western world now being nostalgic for 2012/2013?

Aren’t the libs?

And I suppose it’s going to be pretty good for SRW!

Another W for After War Gundam X tbh

This show’s writing is basically the same as your average fanfiction. It was not a disaster, but ended up not really appealing to me, especially with all the Evangelion style magical nonsense this episode. Char getting Garma’d was very funny though - and even then this is probably their best ending yet.

But alas, the Gihren’s Greed ending we are getting is Sayla’s instead. As Liberallia Bull proved, you just need the right people in power!

Also, Mr. Sex Pest shows up in a VA cameo. Not too surprising tbh, but still awkward.

Overall, my verdict: MID / 10

No, those aren’t an opposition. They’re people who peddle ideas to the government and hope to take the wheel for a few years.

Ok Contra, but you don’t support any opposition, State or non-State.

You don’t have any problem with the state or capital, only see those running it as incompetent and wish they’d fulfill their part of the class collaborationism deal.

Much like the shutdown of FM radio, in favor of a format most people have to buy a new radio for, or the widespread disappearance of using cash even for the most basic transactions like buying tickets from a vending machine.

Basically everything is new in Norway.

MAGA will cheer, drowning out the anti-war right (those will probably adapt too)

The Media will be ecstatic.

The liberals will cheer.

Crisis nationalism will thrive

The Socdems will be unhappy, but about half will go “well, if it’s about stopping WMDs and supporting democracy then fiiiiine.”

The left will openly support Iran and be considered enemy #1

Hitlerites supporting doing the same to uncivilized Muslims spreading antisemitism in the west will thrive.

Also Kamille and other newtypes being utterly broken as weapons of war.

Nuuuuuu you can’t just steal my thread from me nuuuuuu

Too slow, old man. Newtype reformation can’t wait. (I had seen the episode, had thoughts and was sure I was going to forget a lot about it by the time your post was up, so I attempted to copy your style and made a post 😔)

Good catch about the Zeta Gundam scene. It’s been a while since I watched it, so I don’t remember the details.

Kycilia leading herself into an ideological funnel towards CCA Char is one of my favorite ideas of this show.

That picture of Amuro with the basketball goes hard.

00 does get a bit silly sometimes (especially in season 2).

The direction is strong enough that I don’t have too strong feelings about that cameo, even if it did make me roll my eyes when I saw it on screen. In this, it feels like the cameo is the central plot element.

That’s Cargolux, the Luxembourgeois (yes, that’s the actual adjective) flag carrier airline.

From the picture of the mystery flight, it seems like tracking signal was lost and the plane was simulated by flightradar to be continuing flying straight in its previous path.

It’s pretty common, especially around the Black Sea. You often see planes supposedly fly into Ukraine for example. The Caucasus - Central Asia corridor has also become very crowded due to western airlines’ refusal to use Russian air space for Asian travel.

Any mystery deliveries would probably happen with military planes, without transponders on. And definitely not with a western company.
