Sorry That Was A Typo, I Had Intended To Say Which Wasnt Entirely False.

Sorry that was a typo, I had intended to say “which wasn’t entirely false.”

How some antis say that the poke is a sign of distance makes me laugh.

Because Sasuke always remembered the poke as something important between himself and Itachi. It was always an important gesture for Sasuke.

And one thing makes me chuckle is, how a few of the antis were confident after the first spoilers that Sasuke would do the poke to Naruto. Only after it was confirmed that Sasuke did the poke to Sakura they changed their tune and claimed it meant „distance“.

They claim the poke is a sign of distance, as if the giver wants to distance themselves, but that's obviously not the case. Itachi never wanted to be away from Sasuke, and always gave him the poke as a sincere sign of affection, to relay to Sasuke that despite his need to be away, he still cared about him greatly.

That's exactly how Sasuke used it on Sakura and Sarada - To let them know that despite his need to be away, they were still very important to him. It's exactly as you said, the poke was always a very sentimental gesture of affection for Sasuke because it always reminded him of the kind big brother that Itachi used to be.

Yeah, I agree.

i know spy x family is the hot new thing but just a general trigger warning as the anime approaches the event from manga: yuri briar, yor’s brother, has a sister complex that’s primarily played for laughs

Yuri is a good brother

Although those of us who read the manga know well that Yuri is somewhat disturbed/obsessed with his overprotective love for Yor. I think a lot of people admit to hating him or at least disliking him.

Actually, Yuri's thoughts are very justified. But in favor of comedy, the show shows us a brother who expresses his arguments in an exaggerated way to the point of seeming irrational (but they are not)

If we see the structure of chapter 8

Yuri comes from an interrogation, where a "married" man is a shameless man who shamelessly sells information and planned to spend it on women

Yuri sees daily, people who are scum, who deceive what they supposedly call "family". But deep down they change it for any garbage

Now, looking at everything from Yuri's perspective, it's understandable that he's suspicious of Loid.

It turns out that a man, apparently "perfect", has been married to his sister for a whole year where Yor was not able to tell him anything (because apparently she forgot xD)

Yuri quickly guessed that Loid (Twilight) may be a scoundrel who is actually using Yor for a purpose (Which is true, but it's not, because Yor does it too. So I guess it's a draw xD)

In such a case, for Yuri, Loid could be cheating on his sister. Even in the next chapter (of the manga) he himself assumes that "he seems like a good person, but he may be a spy" since they "usually act this way"

Of course, he forgets all of this and gets confused when he goes into "This damn is with my beautiful and perfect sister" mode. xD

It is really valid that he thinks that Loid is someone to suspect despite how good he looks (The man is a great actor) but Yuri is very crazy in that head

Inspired by that stupid billionaires post:

It would really be nice if we could get some kind of discursive consensus to put ethical debates over inequality in economically literate terms, like:

A focus on consumption inequality. E.g. “I think it is immoral that some people get to consume so much while people in Africa go hungry.” Better yet if some actual statistics on consumption inequality are introduced, rather than the old “X% of people own Y% of the wealth”.

Actually considering trade-offs when talking about wealth that is invested and not consumed, like, “I think society currently invests too much in benefiting future people who will be richer than us, rather than in helping the poor to consume more here and now.” Or even, “I think we are too far past the point of diminishing returns in investment, where too much is wasted on speculative ventures that won’t pan out. Even though some of these will have returns, the money is better spent on present consumption.”

Instead of “rich man have all the money, no fair” vs. “rich man work hard for money, yes fair”.

sorry if i’m being a party pooper but because rabies is apparently the new joke on here ??? please remember that rabies has an almost 100% fatality rate after symptoms develop so if you’re bitten or scratched by an animal that you aren’t 100% sure is vaccinated then GO TO A DOCTOR. it’s not a joke. really.
