How bad is the discrimination ?

Is being Short really as bad as people make it out to be?
Im on the taller side of things, and ill admit, it makes dating and socialising easier.

My friends who are of somewhat shorter stature, say that being shorter than average makes dating a lot harder, is this true or an over-exaggeration?
In particular do women really care as much about height as the internet says they do?

fyi, i live in a fairly tall country were the average height is around 5'11~180cm.

hate resellers and scalpers

As much as i want the vinyl i dont feel the need to pay upwards of 300€s, besides buying these vinyls only supports the people reselling it.

!! Please dont buy these vinyls from resellers, itll only encourage them to do this. !!

I mean this happened with the zoe-trope vinyls a couple weeks back, i wish we could do something about it, but eachtime limited edition vinyls come out its bound to happen.

can we just nuke ai already

all the big corpos have implemented ai and its been fucking over the general population wether you use it or not (95% of people with a phone use it).

new studies show less brain activity when using chatgpt (and just in general as it doesnt challenge your brain enough for any substantial intellectual growth).
its using up a ton of water that contrary to popular belief does NOT get recycled into drinking water, we know ai uses freshwater however the condensation of this freshwater makes a % of it turn into saltwater via the ocean, meaning were slowly losing our freshwater sources (heavily oversimplified -- go down the rabbit hole if you wish too).
besides that its makes everything tech related so much more expensive, gaming computers arent the only devices affected, literally everything is getting more expensive ; work laptops, phones, consoles and everything else because ram has spikes atleast fourfold in prices (this is insane)

and probaly the worst thing, the slop it generates. slop has been flooding the internet. every third youtube video that i watch has a ai generated script ( example : its not just ... its ...), then theres these fullblown slop explaination videos where the creators dont even try to hide it. every social media platform is affected, i dont really use instagram or tiktok but i have seen it there, however what really grinds my gears is pinterest, tell me why i cant look up any type of scenery or structure / vacation ideas without being flooded with ai landscapes, fake structures ect.

it doesnt help that ai has gotten so good to the point where you cant even tell the difference anymore.

All of this just because were to lazy to click on a link and find information on our own accords ( it was never hard). and dont even get me started on the ai results on every google search that bascially shoves ai down your throat even if you dont want it
convenience over quality, just let this ai bubble pop already.

Is a timeskip coming soon?

Ive been reading the manga and im almost finished and I just ordered the Grimiore Manga edition. All in all I do love the manga. The anime is also great, the VA is nice but maybe a little over top for me personally.

Is there any kind of timeskip coming soon? As much as I like the dynamic between the characters i would wish that there would be more (time?) development. Dont get me wrong theres a lot of development with the characters however the pacing is really slow.
Im not a hater of having a younger protagonist or whatnot, but 30 chapters being the equivalent of 7 days is very slow. Yes i do know that its an important arc but it still feels painstakingly long, this may be biased because the chapters are monthly.

Then again i would rather the story not be rushed, but i would atleast wish that they would somehow speed up the pacing just slightly, tbf this is kinda just a personal prefence i like seeing characters change design-wise over the course of the series.
