Did you have a rough recovery? I was sore for a few days but I thought it was a breeze, all things considered.
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 1 day ago:
This made me very sad. I’m very privileged, I live in a dark sky community very near a big telescope and on the border of a huge desert. My dad’s really into astronomy, looking at the night sky has been a big part of my life. I lived for a bit in the city, and the sky was one of the things I missed the most.
It’s like the ocean, I suppose. Another thing that it seems impossible to me that people could go their whole lives and never see, but maybe most do.

How is this show, anyone got an opinion? I watched the first episode of season 1 but never got back to it.
- Comment on Just finished Medalist, wow. 4 weeks ago:
Girls Band Cry is one of my favorites, another show that doesn’t get enough love for sure. I love Nina, she’s so very relatable. I was also a stupid ball of untempered rage and fierce independence as a teen.

- Comment on "My Dress-Up Darling" Season 2 New Key Visual, PV 4 weeks ago:
Yeah R-A-G is trash lol. I am a slice of life / comedy / romance whore, but god are a lot of them crap. Romance in particular is fucking all over the place, quality-wise. If you like Dress-Up Darling I’d recommend Makeine if you haven’t seen it, I feel like they have a similar feel and they’re both in my top ten shows for sure. Bunny-Girl Senpai is of course very similar to Monogatari thematically, though the latter is MUCH crazier and darker. Actually pretty similar in look and vibe to Call of the Night too, I think the director of that also did at least some of Monogatari. And if you’re looking for actually good harem, I’d recommend Quintessential Quintuplets and of course the delightfully unhinged 100 Girlfriends.

No Call of the Night S2 or Rascal Dreams of Whatever This One’s Called? C’mon! These, Dan Da Dan, and My Dress Up Darling are my most anticipated this season.
- Comment on "My Dress-Up Darling" Season 2 New Key Visual, PV 4 weeks ago:
Very excited for this show to come back, as well as Call of the Night and Bunny-Girl Senpai. I have so many shows on my watchlist this season.

- Comment on Spicy food never affects my gut and everyone thinks it's really weird. How unusual is this and what could be happening to explain why spicy food doesn't affect me? 1 month ago:
I love spicy foods and they don’t upset my stomach. Though I did eat one of those “one chip challenge” things back in the day and I did fine at the time but the next two days or so I felt like I had been poisoned. Only time that ever happened to me. You probably have a threshold too but it’s just very high. Genetics and practice helps, your gut biome critters are probably used to it too.
- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11.0 RC2 now available 1 month ago:
The EFCore change is pretty big. They’re basically changing how the data is accessed from the database so that would touch most of the software, so potential for new issues is fairly high. Hopefully it will improve performance and concurrency. If you are not comfortable with potential issues, I’d hold off on updating for a while.

Because alignment of your physical and mental self is very gratifying. Ask trans folks. The problem, I think, is chasing an unattainable self image and trying to fix what’s inside by changing what’s outside.
Personally, I find the idea of changing my appearance surgically for beauty standards rather distasteful, but I am a person who has always been pretty confident and comfortable with who I am. Cosmetic surgery as you describe it in general strikes me as vain and bougie, and ultimately just makes everyone look the same, which I feel strongly about. Don’t get me started on these face filters.
All that said, I have tattoos and whatnot that others might find distasteful but they make me feel more like who I really am and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I support (and engage in) all sorts of gender-affirming behaviors meant to change my appearance though, so maybe I’m a hypocrite?
I once met a man who had functionally turned himself into a cat, via surgery. Screw in whiskers, lip bifurcation and cheek implants, everything. He was a nice guy, very kind and surprisingly shy given how much he worked to stand out. That’s how he was most comfortable and I respect that. I liked him a lot better than the gaggle of rich blonde moms who all had the exact same faces that I see at the mall or whatever.
Everybody should look the way they want to look. I guess maybe make sure you keep up the insides too, lest you mistake a lake of spirit for a lack of beauty.

I disagree, I want working actors to get paid. I will always take Maurice LaMarche over an AI Orson Welles. Just get that YouTube Grocery Vader guy like they did for Force Unleashed, he’s great.

Can we all just agree that Abridged is the best way to rewatch the show? Abridged Vegeta is my spirit animal.

Oh I’m actually really excited about Yuru Camp since I’m watching Mono right now and really enjoying it. That might be next up after I finish Apothecary Diaries. Usagi Drop is new to me, I’ll check it out, thanks!

C’mon Tien? K Dog would hose him. Destructo Disc his three-eyed ass in half. But yeah the robots and the half-Saiyans don’t count, that’s cheating.

Interesting that you didn’t like BTR but to each their own, it grabbed me hard. I really like animation in general and Bocchi is delightfully weird. I really like when animation does stuff you couldn’t do otherwise and Bocchi is full of that.
Non Non Biyori and Hidemari Sketch are already on my watch list but I will look at ARIA and the iyashikei stuff. Thanks!
- Comment on Slice of life, wistful melancholy, and K-On making me cry a bunch 2 months ago:
I’ve seen both, Frieren twice now after rewatching it with a friend and ATLA many times including when it was coming out. I liked Frieren but I disagree that it’s the best storytelling. I know people like it and I did too but 9/10 for me. Bocchi the Rock and Dungeon Meshi are my only 10/10 shows so far, and of my 9/10s I like Makeine and Dan Da Dan better than Frieren. Maybe season 2 will bump it to a 10 but for now it’s in 5th place for me.
ATLA is one of the best shows ever made though, I agree with that. Looking forward to the new show.
