On episode 30 or so of Monster. This is like the least anime anime Ive ever seen. Feels like a serious live action show.

Lupin is awesome, I would recommend what Calwings did though and start from part 4 and watch it from that point on. And if you really like it, then go back and watch the old ones. I would also recommend dub in general for the series, but I may be biased because my intro to Lupin was the old dubbed episodes airing on Adult Swim in the early 00s.

I have second Thanksgiving to go to shortly. We always have one at my grandparents' house then my parents' house.

I watched Made in Abyss S1 and thought it was fairly solid. It was a good, interesting adventure series. After that I watched the third movie. Didn't care for it, though given it's ultra high rating on MAL I'm probably fairly alone in this.

I just thought it felt super rushed and it got confusing in parts. It felt like maybe it should've been a full season rather than a movie. I only vaguely understood what Bondrewd was trying to do with the "cartridges" (though maybe I just zoned out during Nanachi's infodump about them), and they dropped a bunch of other info rapidly like the white whistles being made from someone dying for you, the curse also having a "blessing" component, and so on.

Also Bondrewd can move his consciousness due to some artifact he has but he also has X and Y artifact that can do this and that and etc. and all of a sudden he's having a DBZ fight with Reg. The Prushka stuff, while disturbing and grotesque, really had no emotional effect on me because there was only such a short time with her.

Overall I'll still watch season 2 but I'm probably going to have to have some of that stuff explained to me.

Banning the rising sun flag is stupid because it's not "the imperial flag". It was in use before WW2/the Japanese Empire and remains in use after.

It's almost like saying the American flag should be banned because the US military committed some war crimes while they were using it.

Haven't read this letter in like a decade but I distinctly remember Bin Laden blaming America for promoting homosexuality and naming Bill Clinton's blowjob as one of the greatest shames committed by an American president ever. Like, I used to cite that ridiculous letter as an example of "No, they really do hate you because of your culture" when people would say "Do you really think the terrorists hate us just because they hate freedom?" (ISIS later wrote an essay saying the same thing, "We hate you for who you are").

Yeah, at the very least they hate America for both actions AND culture.

These people literally want to take over the world. Theyre not just oppressed freedom fighters who only have a problem because America bullies them for oil, or whatever.

If they had the power too, they would absolutely be killing anyone who doesnt fall in line with extremist religious beliefs. It wouldnt be like oh well you havent done any unjustified wars lately! We will leave you alone :)

And this entire thread proves to me why abortion rights will never be codified. We can never have real conversations about anything. All of you want to bury your heads in the sand and make fun of people who would love for you to open your eyes and realize that he does in fact have points in that letter and they are not just regurgitations. His beefs are legitimate but I guess if you buy into the myth of American exceptionalism and righteousness and imperialism then it makes sense.

I wonder what Osama would think about codifying abortion rights?

I'm likely not ever buying another CoD unless I hear that it has an absolutely phenomenal campaign. I've played them all since CoD2 mainly for the campaigns (played a lot of multiplayer as well but fell off of it after Ghosts) and last year's MWII was one of the weaker ones by far. I didn't pick up MWIII and it turns out that was the right decision.

ye I even have an uncle who's in his 60s and he's always been a recluse, although he has had girlfriends but now he just collects toys and watches star trek like he's always done. My other 2 uncles are single as well although they do have severe mental health issues, they both have schizophrenia, one's in a care home in his 50s, imagine that.

It's surreal to think that all 3 of my uncles have no friends and no love in their life, maybe it's hereditary in that regard, I know that mental health is. It does eat my up inside, to know I'll never have the chance to be a father like normal people is soul destroying.

If I had friends it would at least give me some respite from those feelings of loneliness. I sometimes go out with my cousin and we get pissed, I really love a dance. I just wish I had a normal life, I'm proud to be unique but it kills me to know I'm missing out on life. The fancy holidays, weddings, kids to raise, all that stuff. Facebook just reminds me of how much a loser I am in contrast to my peers which is a harsh feeling considering I do have value in my work as a TA.

Yeah all you can do is give it a try. No use worrying about whats already the past.

and by dont tell anyone, I didnt mean dont talk to CE about it etc. I meant its probably best not to tell potential dates. Some will be like no you have to tell them! Etc but I think its self-sabotage. If youre a decent person and they like you, it doesnt matter.

Just try if you want one. No use worrying about it, it is what it is. It wont change the situation. I would keep the inexperience to yourself though. You have no duty to tell people all your private business, no matter what some will tell you.

and if you dont want a relationship, fine. Plenty of people (millions? Billions?) have died without ever being in one.

i feel like if this actually happened, the school would cut their losses and let you keep the degree. OR if they have to rescind it, only like one class would be affected so it wouldn't be a big deal to take it.

I don't think any school would ever do it. I've never heard of this happening, plus I think if people heard of an institution doing this they wouldn't want to go to that school. I wouldn't want to worry about some random audit taking away my degree a decade later because some professor or master's student put in an 8 instead of a 4 once or something.

I graduated highschool in 2001, and in the years since, I occasionally have a repeating dream of being back in school, but I never graduated and have to finish my final year. But the real twist is that every time I have this dream, I'm not the age I was in 2001. I'm the current age at the time I have the dream. So I keep getting older but still sitting in a classroom surrounded by normal aged students

I always feel very awkward in the dream

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the same in my school dreams. It's been over ten years since I've been in college but I'll be my current age/self in the dream. Like some (modern-day) video game I've been playing recently will be involved or someone I've only known in the past few years will pop up in the dream.
