Oh, wow, that’s cute.
No worries here at all! Kenyan sand boas are big diggers - this snake is trying to burrow in the glove and isn’t sure why it’s not working out so hot. They’ll figure it out eventually.
I laughed with such glee at this

I love how much payoff there is in this end-of-season Frieren vs replica fight because up until now Frieren has been restrained in her use of offensive magic.
Like - until this point, Frieren and Fern have pretty much exclusively used Zoltraak (the most basic of modern offensive spells) when they need to fight, even when they’re facing the other first-class-examinees who are using much flashier magic. Frieren even tells Fern not to bother with other types of offensive magic, that Zoltraak is “enough to defeat mages of this era”. Frieren is only ever shown to be interested in assorted folk magic with no fighting utility: growing flowers, making tea, cleaning statues. Even her confrontation against Aura - the biggest show of her power up until now - is just about displaying how much mana she has rather than her actually using it.
Sure, logically you know Frieren is powerful, but it’s easy to get lulled into this sense that she’s just somewhat more powerful than everyone else. Even her Zoltraak casts up to this point seem to be more in the realm of slightly-stronger-than-average than anything truly mind-blowing. Hell, I can understand why Denken saw her and thought he had a chance at taking her on one on one if conditions were right.
And then. Oh my god.
Zoltraak is enough to defeat mages of this era. But Frieren is not a mage of this era.
Just like. Holy crap. The payoff of a full season emphasizing that Frieren never bothers using anything but the most basic offensive spells because nothing in the world is dangerous enough for her to need it -> her facing her replica and them both immediately launching into NIGHTMARE LIGHTNING HELL FIRE REALITY SHATTERING BLACK HOLE. Frieren herself is the only thing we've seen so far that is dangerous enough to require this kind of attack. She is terrifying. Ms Frieren I will never doubt you again.
They tend to scorn their old salt lick when it's been there for weeks and it's all dwindled and sad-looking, and the arrival of a pristine new salt lick is always a major pasture event* :) Kind of like when you get to open an exciting new bar of soap after weeks of showering with a pitiful little sliver of old soap, impatiently waiting for it to End.
* Like most things, this does not apply to Pampérigouste. She has her own mental Event Calendar and none of them are salt-related
Make that make sense. People have to quit blaming the poor for being poor.
it’s literally sooo much more expensive to incarcerate people than it is to house and feed them. In my state it costs $90,000 to incarcerate a single person for one year. $90,000. Other states are even more expensive. for comparison, my rent is $1,050 a month. The annual cost of my housing is $12,600.
A word of advice for people advocating for criminal Justice reform to republicans and people who literally do not care about human rights: use these numbers. Republicans and conservatives and even moderate Dems don’t actually care about moral appeals of why it’s wrong to criminalize homelessness. They do however care about how much tax money this would cost to enforce. It makes financial sense to NOT incarcerate people. (Obviously it makes moral sense too, but most people don’t actually care about that)
It's so much more expensive to put people in jail. If they are in the custody of the state (jail or prison), they have to be given food, clothes, heating, and healthcare. Most of the people who are homeless have health problems--either problems that caused them to lose their homes, trauma from being on the street, substance abuse disorder, anything. The average person experiencing homelessness is much sicker than the average American.
At this point, the largest healthcare provider in the U.S. is the Department of Justice. And legally speaking, they have to provide care. (Granted, a lot of places will avoid that as much as possible, but ideally, they get what treatment they need.) There is a giant prison in Rochester, MN, because it's next to the Mayo Clinic. It's where people with rare and serious illnesses go. My old psych prof worked there part time, providing counseling. He saw people who committed horrendous crimes getting surgeries and chemo. To be clear, prisoners should be getting surgeries and chemo. They deserve healthcare. But it's jarring to hear that a murderer got a tumor taken off his lung while his victims' families have to pay out of pocket for therapy.
I also need to point out that if you're giving people housing, you're just giving them housing. Maybe you include heating, water, and electricity. You aren't giving them clothes (uniforms). You aren't paying guards. You aren't installing metal detectors and cameras. You are just giving them a place to live. That's obviously much, much cheaper than prison.
I am horrified that I have to resort to spelling this out, but yes, this is the only argument Republicans will listen to. Give them the cost-benefit analysis

This woman deserves an Oscar for this. She's got the voice right and pose. Perfection
you start watching dungeon meshi and you see how marcille acts and it's like "great... another show where the girl character is fussy and dramatic and easily grossed out compared to her male counterparts :///" and then you continue watching and meet other female characters who are not at all like that and it's like "ah, she's not like that because she's a girl, she's like that because she's italian"
marcille is like the boyfriend in those "doing food crimes in front of my italian boyfriend" tiktoks and the party is basically doing the equivalent of breaking the spaghetti noodles in half in front of her 24/7. no wonder she's stressed.
good girl
