do you think there is a cultural migration from the western youth towards east asian entertainment. Comics are somewhat failing at reinventing themselves, sales go down while the anime and manga industry gets bigger and more mainstream each day. Even political memes are, for the most part, including anime characters instead of cartoon ones ?

Dusty, I totally get the stress of having a parent in the hospital. honestly just drink some water and lay down.

@Rouqen if they are like the people I knew from high school. In advanced placement courses you can get college credit for passing certain advanced classes in HS

yes

I am getting AP next year

Free creds

And I get to skip bullshit

was in the IB program myself, got college credit that way

IB?

When I was hs, we had to get permission to take AP and it wasn't easy to get in.

@Ranko I think that it's not a full cultural migration, I think it's a cultural conglomeration. there are many comics that are doing well, but anime and manga are gaining a lot of traction as well

international baccalaureate

I was in IB and they didn't give me jack shit

I need 90% grade for AP

That's the req

except headaches and a screwed up transcript and now colleges won't look at me

I need colleges

Universities

Whatever gives me a lab job

Not a chem manufacturing job

Actual research

college/uni, same diff for a liberal arts major like me in the US

Golden just do a 2 year and get good grades to transfer in.

that's what i'm doing

@GoldenPhoenix that's strange, I got to skip all their pre-reqs that way

they wouldn't let me get the credits I'd earned because I left at the end of junior year. none of the grads from previous years had gotten theirs either even after going through it

the whole way*

so my sister is lying to my mom with fucking canced and I want to strangle her

I earned credits from my senior year, but that's from AP and dual enrollment classes I took rather than any of the credits I got beforehand

*"I never vaped"* my ass, SAY THAT TO THE 3/4THS OF MY TANK YOU CONFESSED TO USING

vaping is detrimental to your health (I know it's not as bad as smoking but that doesn't suddenly make it harmless). I'm glad it's being used to end cigarettes tho

I'm using it because freshman year I made bad choices and started smoking to help with anxiety. My sister found it and was using it for the memes. she is 14, so I could get charged with a federal fucking crime.

yeah. Good on you for making the switch mydude

but also, that's a federal crime?

providing nicotine to a minor especially under 16

AH

yeah,

that's bad
