Fair enough! Quality itself isn’t the be-all end-all.

No! That’s the depression talking, complacency is on the loose. KOTOR taught me well, apathy is death.

You’re fine lol, I kinda could tell something was off

Good! Then I have no bones left to pick

The problem with that is that Netflix and other platforms notice this. And they start prioritising “background content”. Blah!

Life is too short. There is so much good media out there that you cannot watch it all in your lifetime. If it’s not creatively groundbreaking and/or gripping entertainment, it has better be at least educational. Who’s going to lay in their deathbed and wish they watched more mid TV shows?

Man I’m from America originally, I’m talking shit from a genuine place right now. What kind of loser is proud of where they’re from anyway

That’s a weird way to say “over 65% of humanity” lol

Silver lining: What if he brought together the whole region by fighting everyone? Wouldn’t that be heartwarming, in a way?

Given the cruelty of this comedy murder, I would say they’re the only ones that count

Evidence found at the scene point to a professional hit. Our psychological profilers are looking for a comedian with at least two Netflix specials.

This is how you end up becoming a ‘critic’, in the sense of “this is someone who is media literate enough to speak more about whether a show has broken new ground creatively, rather than just saying whether they have succeeded in being merely entertaining”. A lot of people simply don’t care about the creative merits of a production and just want to be entertained, but enough of us are harder to please that good critics with worthwhile observations are always in demand.

You done good, buddy

Same, I’m big and tall but anyone with fighting experience can fold my clothes while I’m still in them.

Someone in the comments there said the same author called SD Gundam “perfect from start to finish” like a month ago but I couldn’t find the article where he said it. I basically agree with all his picks though, a lot of anime was needlessly bowdlerised and made (more) insipid at the altar of “localisation”.

Right, like a capybara

I’ve had good success buying second hand on eBay, but I bet you could also do worse than getting used parts off Gumtree, look for anyone selling a broken or outdated computer - or in the free section - and spend some time going through a pile of ewaste, shucking all the drives, and then running tests on them.

A shame the famous Mongolian tolerance did not extend to unconquered peoples, any of whom would balk at this depiction.

It wasn’t always so… My childhood largely featured an arms race of increasingly ridiculous squirt guns that culminated in some dickhead pissing in a backpack water tank and blasting everyone with a double-barreled multi-nozzled monstrosity.

I used to have really bad taste in friends.

Cheers, will give it a go

God I just know I’d be a messy fucker with one of those… Hmm

Nice one, too bad it’s US only!

My teeth are super close together, I got a mouth full of fuckin Chiclets that cut apart pretty much any floss that can get in there. Any recommendations?

The people weren’t at war, their governments were. Never lose sight of the real enemy.

Mahkno my beloved

It’s funny because I’ve cut things off with people and didn’t do the symbolic knife gift, and they keep bugging me. And then the one time I accidentally leave a knife behind at a friend’s, suddenly there’s a definite distance between us and things die off organically. Interesting coincidence, can definitely see how this superstition came to be.

In my family there’s a tradition that if you give a gift of a blade, you have to make the recipient pay a penny for it. Might be related somehow.

about one sixth higher in some areas

That’s not insignificant.

We didn’t even get to fifty. How are dudes in their thirties supposed to make their whole personality about US history a thousand years from now? There’s not gonna be enough.

In the early 21st century, it was normal to enjoy losing the class war, the environment, and endless reboots and sequels on TV. People saw it as normal to be ruled by morally twisted oligarchs with unfettered political power and no vision for the future.
