I wouldn't say "embarrassing" unless you are actually embarrassed by it.
There are certain pieces of media I have connected with that I won't get into detail about, but I wrote up a whole fanfiction about back in the day. Looking back, I'd say my past self certainly loved one of the characters. I'm not embarrassed by that, but I don't like... Have it in my dating profile.
It's certainly unorthodox to say you're "in love" with a fictional character, but ultimately as long as it isn't a detriment to your mental well-being or "real life", then ultimately does it matter if someone might giggle at your expense?
I'm guessing someone from the Macross series, maybe Robotech.
Because nobody ever talks about those, and some of the characters are pretty relatable and get in some sketchtastic situations that take awhile to be saved from.
Ultimately I don't want to be told the real answer. It's just fun to guess.
I'm not saying this to try and downplay your own emotions, but some level of "not wanting to see my favorite character in pain" is pretty normal for everyone. Not to this extent, but on some level, for everyone.
In Stargate Atlantis, when Dr Rodney McKay gets a brain parasite that turned his brain into basically a child, I lost my shit. I had to stop the episode to take a break multiple times because I literally couldn't see the screen. Didn't matter that I was certain they would have him back to normal by the end of the episode. Doesn't matter that I know how the episode ends now. Still can't watch it all in one go without problems.
That might have more to do with personal phobias though, because every other time he's in danger I react about the same way the other characters do. Eye roll and a chuckle, because he's probably overreacting out of anxiety (definitely not something I would do... Heh.......)
As others have said, and I'm just confirming, empathy is pretty normal, and likely the closest thing in English at least. Can someone ask a German?
Is it still legally binding should such joke events occur?
Also yes.
If I say "this company is not liable for any damages caused by sudden laser eyes (unless the laser is TRUE yellow)" well then, if someone suddenly develops yellow laser eyes using my product.... Guess who's on the hook for damages.
At this point, I'm almost positive that a republican US president could sign a treaty with north Korea, China, Russia, and Fucking Thanos, and everyone launches nukes, and world leaders and media outlets alike (that survive the ensuing shit show) would STILL beat around the bush and ask "What's all this, then?" like things aren't glaringly obvious.
"Well we can't report reality, or we might get accused of bias..." is getting old.
It took me a week, but I scrambled every comment and post with lorem ipsum and bee movie scripts, deleted the comments, then after verifying I could no longer find any of my original content on any search engine outside archive sites, I deleted the account.
It took so long because r*ddit started limiting API access when they realized people were automating their profile scrubbing.
As I've said before about certain countries, if you're doing everything you can to prevent people from leaving [THING/PLACE] then you might just be shit.
"Russia might continue interfering in international politics while supporting a Russian asset they've interfered with international politics before to support"
I know things like this should be pointed out at ANY AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY, because apparently people have short attention spans..... But holy shit reading stuff like this just makes me think the average person is so out of touch with reality that they literally need daily reminders that one of the shittiest people they know is still shitty.
The only people who don't think Russia has something on Trump that makes him an asset that they can use to destabilize politics in a rival country at any and every opportunity, are people somehow ignorant of the last decade of history, useful idiots, and people being paid to think that.
In the tiny amount of time we have to comprehend our impending doom should the sun explode (we will know in 8ish minutes, the force arrives very shortly after that), they would report "SUN APPEARS TO EXPLODE, WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR FUTURE ELECTIONS?"
I think it's less "they think the position is already a dictator" and more "the general public has absolutely no idea how the office of the president works, or how the powers and limitations on various branches work in general" which is a failing of their education, and a poor reflection on the country as a whole.
Of course that's exactly the way the republicunts like it, "keep the population dumb and they won't even question why you're oppressing them"
If your only experience with the president and their powers comes from (for millennial anyway) various crises (manufactured and non) where the president says "I'm signing this thing to do this" and because the vast majority of congress is behind them, as well as the regular) rest of the population, and it gets done (I'm thinking of things like Iraq), I can see someone thinking "well the president signed a paper, so it MUST happen"
Which is sad funny since I hear the minimum wage comment a lot, but like... How well do you think that will go? It will go just like the student loan bullshit.
And republicunts are such fucking insecure losers, they will happily drag the entire planet down into their bullshit to prevent even one single other person from getting help that they believe they're entitled to the entirety of.
Anecdotally at least, medical can be given as "general discharge" and it's neither honorable nor dishonorable, it's just "you're discharged, bye"
That's how mine went, at least. I don't personally know anyone else who got medically discharged who wasn't on their second or third re-up.
Although I do know of one guy who got absolutely fucked over by military medical, and after 18 months of negotiation recieved an honorable discharge and will be receiving e-8 pay for the rest of his life... It's a permanent medical condition caused by the medical facility, and a medical discharge, but it's "honorable".
So my vast knowledge of discharge conditions and medical brings it to 1 honorable, 1 general.
Chemistry is fascinating, and if you look at molecular structures of things, you can make SO many things out of other things with the right reactions and filters.
The trick is making the reactions work without binding toxic chemicals to the end product.
So that limits what you can use, but there are still so many options for things.
You'd be surprised what you can use to make aspirin.
Hmm.
Well then If it's also not someone from Saint Seiya, based off what you said it is or isn't, that would be my knowledge of pre-2k anime exhausted.
