      After deleting my Reddit account, I've been able to successfully replace everything else I've used it for, except for r/manga. I have no idea how to discover new manga. Are there any sources you follow for keeping up? Any good writers and reviewers?

      Synopsis

      This science fiction omnibus depicting a doctor who "treats" robot and humanoid problems takes place in the near future, when humanoids with artificial intelligence account for 10% of the population. The main character, Dr. Sudo Hikaru, also has the undercover name Moggadeet, under which he secretly takes on illegal medical procedures. For example, for a man who inadvertently infected his humanoid wife with a computer virus when illegally backing up her data, Sudo proposes an operation to rewrite her memory using backup data. Could an existence replaced by backup data truly be said to be the same as it was before?

      Discussion rules

      BEWARE OF SPOILERS. Since all episode discussions are within a single thread, here are some rules to ensure revisits are safe from spoilers.

      1. How this thread is organized
      • Each top-level comment is a mini-thread for each episode discussion. A new top-level comment will be added whenever another episode is released.
      • All discussions must be posted as replies within the appropriate mini-threads only. No discussions should be posted as top-level comments.
      • Anything without dedicated mini-threads can be posted under "General chat".
      2. How to navigate and avoid spoilers
      • Use the "Collapse replies" button to find the appropriate episode discussions more easily, and make potential spoilers less visible.
      • You can also use the links at the bottom to jump directly to each episode discussion.
      3. When and how to hide spoilers
      • Within each mini-thread, discussions about the current and previous episodes are freely allowed.
      • But, details about subsequent episodes and source materials are spoilers and must be hidden.
      • To hide spoilers, you can follow the "Expandable sections" part of the formatting guide.
      Tips on using "Expandable" format for spoilers

      Currently there's a flaw where if the comment is collapsed (by using "Collapse replies" or other ways), the hidden parts can still be seen in the small blurbs.

      The workaround is to further enclose the spoilers in quote block. See here for an example comment.

      Direct links to each mini-thread

      Episode discussion (main)

      | Ep1 | Ep2 | Ep3 | Ep4 | Ep5 | Ep6 | Ep7 )

      General discussion (extra)
      | General chat || Source material,


      P/S: See here for more ongoing show discussion threads this season.

      Same as before, if anyone want to look for some anime to watch but don't feel like making a full post, here's a place for everyone to ask each other for recommendations.

      Someone previously also asked for good anime "intro points" here and got lots of good recommendations. If anyone has any more to add feel free to also suggest here.

      P/S: You can also ask for manga recommendation here or share about your current watch/read here.

      This thread is posted weekly - please try to post all relevant US political content in here, such as news, updates, opinion articles, etc. Extremely significant events may warrant a separate topic, but almost all should be posted in here.

      This is an inherently political thread; please try to avoid antagonistic arguments and bickering matches. Comment threads that devolve into unproductive arguments may be removed so that the overall topic is able to continue.

    7. Fellow Tildes origami enthusiasts. What are you folding? What are you proud of at this moment?

      Hello, everyone!

      I've been back into it for a little over a year. I started at an art camp when I was roughly 12 or so. I had someone I saw doing it show me a couple things and I still to this day remember every model he taught me. Unfortunately it didn't advance much further than that for another 16 years or so, but here we are.

      There are so many communities out there for it, but I never seem to find one that's terribly active that isn't Reddit. I've found a discord that has some interesting challenges and prompts to stir up some discussions, except they usually are just individual answers. Hopefully I can drum something up here.

      Currently I have two projects in the works that I still need to get myself to finish. I'm roughly "half-way" through Satoshi's Bahamut and working on a Saku B Monster Hunter Saltas Queen model that is nearly finished.(Just needs shaped)

      So far my proudest is LQD's modular phoenix. (https://imgur.com/a/L527otB) It took me roughly 6 or 7 hours to make and put together, I think. I actually ended up having to fold 3 wings as I forgot to reverse the instructions to make the other. >.>

    8. How often do cook/order out/ eat pre-made food/ throw together food

      For cooking I mean like making it largely from scratch. Eating out (or dining in) is hopefully self-explanatory. By premade meals I mean like ramen bowls, cans of soup, Stoufers or Banquet meals,...

      For cooking I mean like making it largely from scratch. Eating out (or dining in) is hopefully self-explanatory. By premade meals I mean like ramen bowls, cans of soup, Stoufers or Banquet meals, frozen pizzas, etc. Throwing something together is like a sandwich, cereal, a box of Mac and cheese/ hamburger helper or a ramen packet where you add a boiled egg, leftover pork and some chives, etc-- stuff where it's mostly finished food that just requires a little bit of work.

    9. Who/what are the local treasures in your city/region?

      I'm curious to hear about the people or things in your city or region that add their own unique charm or character -- perhaps they're unknown or barely known to the rest of the world but are important culturally to your area.

      I'll throw out a few of my picks for Dallas, Texas:

      • The Ticket is a local sports radio station that's been around since 1995, which is an eternity when it comes to AM/FM radio. On the surface, this doesn't sound that interesting, but the station goes way deeper than just sports. Most of the listeners are loyal and almost cult-like in their dedication. People say that when they listen, it's as if they're just hearing some of their friends talk on the radio. I'd go as far as to say it has introduced some vernacular into the Dallas area lexicon that you don't typically find in other places (i.e. you can have a conversation with someone and they'll say a phrase in a way that instantly tips you off that they're a listener).
      • Robert Wilonsky is a local writer/historian/everything Dallas guy. Not only is he passionate about Dallas, but he has a knack for writing and can turn a very boring civil matter into an exciting read.
