It’s a great anime, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. That being said, prepare yourself because it will be a very emotional ride once it really gets going. I rewatch it every few years but I still make this joke to my friends when I do:

I still need to watch the rebuild series…

Damn, I was hoping the orcas got him.

The very top parts of Texas and new York that touch are both part of Michigan. The disconnected bit in Texas is called the Upper Peninsula, and that’s basically Canada if you ask people (or listen to them talk).

Its a map of the lower 48 states

I would love option 2, but one of my neighbors has to have his light on all damned night, and there’s a business not far from me that has massive floodlights on all night, so I never need to use a light when I go outside at night :/

Far more important than being good looking in the alt-sex communities I’ve experienced has been attitude and personality.

Can confirm. Been part of local kink communities, and I’ve seen a few dudes about 2.5 steps up from the elephant man trimmed all to hell because dude had a great personality and knew how to use his implements. I don’t consider myself to be the best looking, but I don’t have any trouble for the same reason.

Swinging parties on cruises may be different. There is absolutely a phenomenon in which poor, antisocial behavior that parallels aristocratic problems, becomes distressingly common on cruises.

In my experience, that’s swinging parties, and to a lesser extent, the underlying culture in itself in a lot of places.

In a previous life, our local kink and swinging scenes shared a building with connected event spaces, and any time there were overlapping events, consent issues inevitably cropped up. We constantly had complaints about people grabbing others or walking into scenes (and we had to not laugh when they inevitably got hit and complained about their lack of situational awareness).

I found my girlfriend got fuh-hyucking Goofy.

I’m criticizing the delivery, not the message.The majority of people that heard that protest were those who travelled from around the world to see Stonehenge. Their plans were ruined, and they don’t care any more about climate change than they did that morning. Some may even resent the protesters.

"You know, I don’t disagree that the coloreds should have more rights, but did they really need to sit at the lunch counter all day? I couldn’t sit at the counter and it made my lunch take so much longer. Really inconvenient to everyone trying to get some food.

I just wished they’d go about it differently. They’re liable to make people even less accepting of them if they keep pulling stunts like that."

I hope you know that’s what you sound like. Like, read the first paragraph of MLK Jr’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and you’ll see your argument in the “white moderate”:

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

Oh it’s 186-75-3090, I can wait to meet you in Capital City, US STATE so we can get to know each other better.

Do they tho?

I think that’s what mainstream US conservatism and its adherents think that’s what “conservative” means. And honestly, that’s pretty much been the undercurrent of US conservatism for over 20 years, they’re just now saying the quiet parts out loud.

Unfortunately, I need a weighted blanket to be able to sleep, so that makes it difficult to go with a lighter blanket.

I’ll take the blanket because I’m so sick (also yes) of sweating while chilled in bed
