I walk practically every day in front of a boba tea shop. Never seen someone go in it, or even clerks behind the counter. The shop is open until 10pm every day.

iagomagoto Football@lemm.ee•Serie A Match day 33 | Napoli takes a win against Monza, while Inter Loses against Bologna, which brings both teams to 71 points! Who will win the race?English3·11 days agoRealistically speaking, Napoli. While Inter has the better team, they are still in three races to the title (UCL, Serie A, Coppa Italia), while Napoli only has to worry about the last 5 games. Conte is going to wring up his players in the usual way he does.

A friend made me just realize that it’s always checkmate in 2. I need to study more chess.
Doesn’t black just need to move Q to F1 to win the game?

To me, “retro” just means something that is now only possible for consumption through the previous, now impossible or highly impractical, acquisition of said medium. PS3? Retro. 3DS? Retro.
I had this conversation with many a friend. It seems that a lot of people fail to see the distinction in how Urasawa decides to construct the (sometimes excessively) over-complicated structure of his work. The fact is that the man is, at heart, a postmodernist: he cares less about traditional tropes such as character development and is rather much more interested in exploring various point of views of a single event, relating the events of his fiction to the real world and inciting the reader to form his own opinion on a subject, a story or a person. I personally love it, being the rive-gauche comp lit post-grad that I am; but I see how it might not be for everyone. ESPECIALLY because the man takes his sweet time in developing plot points. I’d say Monster is by far his most “standardized” work, as in that it’s quite understandable to see the evolution of the MC while keeping the eyes on the plot. But things like Billy Bat or 20th Century Boys, imho, pushed the manga medium to a whole another level that we’re starting to see as vibrantly influent and foretolding just now with some of the more high-brow stuff made by people like Inio Asano, who are more interested in atypical structures and influences external to the classical manga world.
iagomagoto Pokémon@lemmy.ml•What do you think the hardest core pokemon games are? Which are the easiest?3·3 months agoHardest I’ve played: BW2 on Hard difficulty (why they didn’t make it a standard option in all subsequent installments is a mystery to me) Easiest: Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. Literally almost impossible to lose, even when doing Nuzlockes.

iagomagotoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Call an ambulance because I'm dead, and I'm Canadian and can afford it.English16·5 months agoI’m from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of “He’s not white, he’s Italian.”

iagomagoto Europe@feddit.org•TikTok CEO summoned to European Parliament over role in shock Romania electionEnglish10·5 months agoWhile it’s true that “all elections are won on lies spewed by the parties”, it’s always a matter of context. The media landscape of the past 10 years has both shrunk and inflated at the same time: centralized social media now overwhelmingly represent the main source of information from which people read news and shape their views of the world. The fact that some of those social media have more or less explicitly stated their affiliation to some sort of government which might make their interests offers a worrying scenario: in one case, the state can require the manipulation of information so as to steer the results of election towards governments that might create strategic geopolitical tension or sweetened deals (i.e. China and TikTok). On the other, through the “loaning” of centralized social media to the highest bidder can create enormous echo chambers which corrupt the results only for symbiontic, growing entanglement of social media corporations into forms of government (i.e. Elon Musk in 2024).
Tl;Dr: Social media are a bigger problem than good old politicians’ lies because they can be easily manipulated by external forces and because everyone uses them.
It wasn’t that dry to the touch, actually! I was out on an excursion for a mycology class and one of the teachers identified it. Apparently it’s a native species around here
Big difference between Neo-Cons and the alt-right, though.
