Banner from: Some PhilStar Picture of UPD (PH) protests on Sep21 I can't find the link to.

My theme song: (FDJ by IFA Wartburg ft. Kasane Teto)

A comrade of the East, I come with gifts and a feast! A toast to the end of capitalism.

Anyways, yeah, I'm Caj. Just call me Caj, really. I'm that infuriating 'leftist' who can't define herself of who she even is, much less what brand of anarchism/marxism I follow. I have read from both, though.

This doesn't mean I don't have positions, but I tend to err on the past, as I have less knowledge of it than I used to. Anyway here's Marx:

"Workers of the world, unite!" and "Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it."

— Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto y Theses on Feuerbach, 1848 y 1845, respectively.

    Marcos Jr. is pragmatic in that regard, especially since a lot of Filipinos as well as other imports come from the Middle East, and since US-Israel initiated, it'd be best in the country's interest to remain silent to not provoke the US, but also start to shift on China to see what the US would do (and get some energy relief as a bonus!) The South China Sea issue has been dragged out for so long, if Marcos Jr. decided to actually negotiate with China, I'd be curious on what would happen, or on how the Filipino populace takes it (anti-US sentiment is rising slowly, but anti-China sentiment is still a bit of the mainstream opinion, but we'll see)

    local Chainsaw Man fan here, about as.. disappointing as you can get with that whiplash of

    Chainsaw Man spoilers of... everything, pretty much.

    Pochita going 'hey so I know you haven't solved anything by being Chainsaw Man, but not being Chainsaw Man would've probably been bad too.. but, y'know what, I think without me, you'd do better!' goes and erases itself from the world.

    Then, well, as expected he didn't get better. He still survived with Power being the one to save him, which while it probably wouldn't have happened in the OG w/ Makima start, with a Nayuta one (if she grows up, she's going to become like Makima right??? Without Denji, she's basically just Makima again but younger..) instead, he became a Public Safety Officer with Power (I guess that fulfilled that contract but.. damn is that so unsatisfying.) and pretty much did his job and has someone I guess to accompany him.

    Also, Asa/Yoru x Denji was never resolved and I hate Fujimoto for that (unless Part 3???????) and instead just a coincidental meeting and that's it. Though, I guess it was funny when she said, 'Chainsaw Man? Like, you man, then you use normal chainsaw' hahaha......!!!!!! Denji'll probably die to some higher level devil that was released from Chainsaw Man's erasure, Power too likely, and overall, disappointing ending that was basically bound to happen because of that sudden shift.

    I don't really hate Fujimoto (or Gege in JJK, I've read the manga and watched the anime up to Season 2, will continue tomorrow to be prepared for Sendai Colony Episode) for the matters relating to how their stories ended, character development dropped and general disappointment with everything I was hoping for the stories. There were some issues in JJK manga because of Gege being rushed apparently so I don't feel as much hate towards the authors, rather the all-encompassing soul-crushing system that is Capitalism, and the type that Japan has as well that can be characterized as ever moving to the right..

    I understand why it happened, why it could've happened but I held out hope Fujimoto would at least end Chainsaw Man in a somewhat satisfying way (someone else here said it could end in the world ending which is also a possibility, but if that were the case, I still hoped for the plot threads to be resolved before so, but I truly lost hope when it was said that one chapter would follow the reveal before the end). I personally think that it should've ended a bit more.. umm, 'positively' (that's my opinion, but I would be satisfied with any as long as the plot threads get solved in the first damn place!!) something like..

    Personal Opinions on My Version of Ending of CSM, spoilers, ofc.

    Asa/Yoru's conflict should've been solved in two ways, either Yoru is really just a demon and kills Asa to fight Chainsaw Man, or Asa/Yoru merge like Denji/Pochita. The fight between the two ends someway, and everything goes back to normal (somehow, this is for my fanfic self over at Ao3 to figure out, but it's something to do with Chainsaw Man spitting out stuff, I guess?) somehow, but the two are left exhausted.

    The world goes back to normal, still shitty, but normal, and the two, live out their lives remembering the people they've lost as Asa and Denji, through living together and basically being each other's trauma companion help each other find something new that goes beyond their devil identities.

    Though, as for the two basically being top-tier criminals, I guess I'll just have them either conveniently be forgotten (idk, Chainsaw Man is forgotten somehow?) or some negotiation with Public Safety (so we get our fav. characters that just.. disappeared for some reason?) makes them able to live with this life. And yeah, the series ends with that, the two living together, not exactly happy, not exactly safe or secure either, but with the two together, it'll improve, then IDK, if Nayuta can be brought back, get her back too, and then, Power can also come back, as a different someone though because it was implied she'd be the Blood Devil, but different body (my understanding, at least), or not, but yeah.

    I'd also take care of some Fumiko stuff but I don't really know how to resolve her stuff.. Maybe deal with Nostradamus Prophecy by saying 'Well.. the world almost ended!! That counts??' I dunno, but either way, a lotta shit has been destroyed, it's basically the end of the world for a lot of people, the horsemen devils are around, devils resurrect and overall, not great, but with the two surrounding themsleves with each other and other people, they'll.. somehow go through it.

    Overall, disappointing, but inevitable under excruciating pressure in the manga/anime industry.. I explained my detailed reasons above for why exactly I was disappointed with Chainsaw Man's ending, what I'd do with it, and I just wish Fujimoto better in his life, and if his next story interests me, I'll be right back to reading all about him~

    Edit 1, contains spoilers

    So, if anybody read the ending, why in the hell is Denji's heart still Pochita?? If you look closely when Asa and Denji coincidentally met.. Is.. is Part 3 possible in 2028?!! Like, I guess it makes sense, Pochita's still Denji's heart but then why? How would the erasure work then? How would Denji.. nevermind. I don't know, because why? Why?! FUJIMOTO?? Anyway, yeah that's it.

    I've been playing Counter-Strike 2 a lot during my off times and the new update involving using magazines/clips as reserve instead of an entire number of reserve bullet ammo has been interesting to play with though I don't play multiplayer because I lag a fuck ton and are more interested with the maps than anything...

    I am not in the anticheat debate because I nowadays don't play multiplayer (except for Team Fortress 2...) but it's been a lot of the discussion, and I just.. what is the true solution on that? (and botting too) All the gameplay, and map discussions (as well as the skin economy, gosh.. it's not like I have money though lol) is bogged down by it..

    Overall fun game if you ignore the community, I guess.

    I watched the video in order to try getting it.. but—

    this part has been redacted due to ongoing litigations

    —this text took up a lot of the actual context so I don't understand anything and I don't even know why he published it like that if half of it was censored in the first place.. Do the r/Hasan_Piker community even know about this Hasan-related drama? Isn't Hasan going to Cuba anyway? How will he even respond when he's doing stuff in Cuba?
