making fun of Evangelion is funny for the same reason making fun of Batman is, they're both ridiculous premises that take themselves incredibly seriously so you can just ramp up how stupid things are without changing how self-serious everything is.

Not to be a huge anime nerd or anything, but in Evangelion the hero basically has a breakdown and refuses to pilot his robot to save the world and so the girl has to fight the big baddie alone, and it completely wrecks her and her robot. But her sense of duty is so strong that she just keeps going and would rather die than give up. While the hero sulks in his room.

Is that an actual screencap from the show? Looks like someone redrew it in MSPaint.

A lot of 80s and 90s anime can look a little weird and different now, because we're now seeing the raw scans of what was previously only seen on muddier, darker transfers and screens. It can lead to a bit of a weird vibe, because the quality loss from the transfers became sort of a symbol of quality themselves, while a more direct transfer can sometimes feel a bit more phony because it more closely resembles what fans were making without those constraints.

It's kinda like how some official remakes of Final Fantasy games feel like RPGMaker games, just because the technical limitations the original games were under were so iconic that removing them makes them look like the sorts of fan projects and knockoffs that were emulating the style but not the limitations.

An example I found recently, comparing an older transfer of a Gundam opener to a newer one. Does a really good job of showing the effect on color specifically:

My understanding is that essential service folks doing this up in Canada back in the day caused a purge some problems and now cops/nurses/ect aren’t allowed to have unions there anymore. Wouldn’t be opposed to one of those being the case.

Police as well, but it feels a bit dirty to call theirs a union since they demonstrate zero solidarity with labour in general. Less than zero, really, considering their role in union-busting and strike-breaking.

The references to healthcare workers specifically makes me think it's this.

quote:

Additionally, CDC is releasing an update to guidance for contingency and crisis management in the setting of significant healthcare worker shortages. These updates provide healthcare facilities with the strategies to limit the effects of staff shortages caused by COVID-19 on patient care and note that:

Healthcare workers with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic can return to work after 7 days with a negative test, and that isolation time can be cut further if there are staffing shortages.
Healthcare workers who have received all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including a booster, do not need to quarantine at home following high-risk exposures.
Isolation relates to behavior after a confirmed infection, and quarantine is following exposure to the virus but without a confirmed infection.


These guidelines apply only to the healthcare workforce and may be revised to continue to protect both healthcare workers and patients as additional information on the Omicron variant becomes available to inform recommended actions.

They cut the COVID quarantine period in half because Delta Airlines had too many flights grounded under the 10 day policy.

Edit: They also tried to scare people into getting vaccinated by threatening them with the American healthcare system.

I always think it's Anthony Bourdain whenever I see that guy in pictures, then I remember it can't be, because Anthony Bourdain tragically took his own life.

I think your understanding is incorrect, because 90% of Canadian nurses are unionized. Police in Ontario can’t form a union, but still have collective bargaining and whatnot under “police associations”.
