I absolutely loved the Qual scene early on in season 1 as a metaphor for humans eliminating diseases through scientific research.
Scene Spoilers
Frieren tasks her new apprentice Fern with killing the ancient demon Qual. A demon so powerful that even she and the hero party could not defeat him 80 years prior and could only seal him away temporarily. Fern is confused as to how she could take on such a strong opponent but quickly realizes he only knows one basic attack spell.
Frieren explains 80 years ago this spell was the deadliest around and no mage could defend against it. Human mages ended up studying the spell endlessly and eventually figured out how it worked. Their research was so widely adopted that it became the basis of modern day offensive magic only a few decades later. Elves and demons might be powerful mages, but individually they could never match the speed at which humans collectively learn, teach, and innovate magic.
Rushing your decisions is a common red flag in scams. I'd say it's probably enough of a red flag to stop talking with them. You can try to slow play things and if they continue to hound you then it's almost certainly a scam. They're probably going to do something like:
Ask you for money to purchase things you'll need for your job (MLM/pyramid scheme)
Give you a large cheque, ask you to cash it, give a certain amount of the cash to someone, and keep the rest for yourself (cheque fraud).
The "Fuck Trudeau" people sure are having a hard time saying anything negative about Trump.
I believe it's Steam Keys can be sold anywhere but they have to be for the same price as buying the game through Steam itself.
Also, Japan. My understanding is that everyone and their shiba inu plays MonHun in Japan.

$250 per day is $91,250 per year. What the hell are you buying??
Requesting to be paid in nonsequential bills is something only a criminal would do, so the joke is that the purchase is illegal.
The idea is that if the person paying you is a cop, they'd give you bills they can track down later. I'm not sure if that's actually done in real life. Apparently a large percentage of printed cash is used for illegal deals, so I dont think criminals are too concerned about being traced by their cash transactions.
Hoccine damnum?
I was a huge fan of the Hitman series. I haven't bought a Hitman game since they switched to the always online, buy the gamepass, dark pattern crap.
I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.
I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!
Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.
When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!
I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.
Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?
I made this a while back to use as a background for my phone. What do you think?
