    Currently reading a collection of works by Dostoevsky, also a few books on hold because of work and generally not feeling like reading those lately 😁

    I had started reading Russian literature such as Dostojewski and Tolstoi as well because they describe interesting cases to think about, but because I have to read so much for work, I never really finish a book. What do you think so far?

  2. @OtakuKid Since you seem to really want to know, here is my guess. I don't know the show but I would say it is an anime.

    Here are the reasons why I think that.
    Right off the bat, it has a Japanese sounding name. It was produced by a Japanese anime studio which primarily produced other anime as well. The art style to me seems to be much more anime than cartoon, but it has some cg effects added to it. It is on sites like My Anime List.

    All these things taken together would be enough for me to say it is anime, but there probably is someone who might disagree 😂 

  3. we do have different contests on occasion and I would say something like once per month. it is usually, but not always, art. great that you participate!

  4. yeah, I am familiar with the barrel-dweller Diogenese, that's why I thought it was an unusual choice 😂 my username is just a mix of different things and not from anything particular. I didn't know about that Jojo reference though. then again there are so many Jojo references 😂 

    interact with people on a daily basis? now you are making even less sense 😂

  5. Hi there! is Diogenese a character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? Otherwise that is an unusual choice of username 😂 also what are those 'friends' you are talking about? never heard of such a thing 😂

  6. yeah we are getting old 😂 I still remember the first time a few years back when some older teenagers called me 'mister' and I thought like 'come on, I'm not much older than you, am I?' 😂 also don't appreciate the hair density on my head steadily decreasing with age 😂

  7. I'll add three more which all happen to be rather entertaining and educational.

    Crash Course has a lot of great introductions to different topics such as psychology, biology, history of science, philosophy, world history, us history, european history. just have a look at the playlist section. I think they present the content really well. sometimes it is a bit simplified and one sided but still presenting complex topics in about ten minutes in such an entertaining way is great. The history and philosophy courses at least can also be just listened to while doing something else and don't necessarily need the visuals.

    Smarter Every Day is hosted by an engineer who just likes to explore different topics. being an engineer, he has a quite specific approach and viewpoint on things but generally I think he offers some interesting insights on a wider variety of topics.

    Kurzgesagt does a great job of really putting things in a nutshell while doing some great research and animations. Personally I really like that they also include rather random videos every now and then.

  8. Finally caught up on it. Watching two episodes in a row, I realized that even though Black Clover can be a bit 'asta' at times, it has quite a lot of unique characters and easy to digest scenes!
    I don't think the guy they showed will be the devil but probably someone like Asta who controls the devil's power. what surprised me a bit was that the whole heart kingdom thing was only two episodes. obviously the characters from there will come up again though.
    I also find it interesting how the whole net of characters develops 😂 I think the next episode will be hilarious when they visit Hage 😂

     I think cats are great, but not for me as a pet.

    that's right, because, unlike other animals, cats keep humans as pets, not the other way around 😂
