There is no passing. Executive orders don’t create new laws. You can’t be charged with burning a flag. You can and will be arrested for something else if you do this, though.

A friend got me to try an episode of Lower Decks and it felt so cynical to me. To explain why I wasn’t interested in watching more, we watched Darmok and Measure of a Man. Trek was very aspirational back then.

Watakoi has straight up physical and emotional abuse going on with that secondary couple.
You made me realize the genre is so sparse that most of what I’ve found has been manga. The single anime I can think of off the top of my head word be Signs of Affection, but it’s college and only the first season is out. As for manga:
Complete:
- Sweat and Soap - they get together early in the story and actually have sex and communicate about their problems
- Telework Yotabanashi - one volume, this is what got me introduced to the author of Sweat and Soap.
Ongoing:
- Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You. This one is much more drawn out, but the main characters are so earnest and emotionally supportive of each other.

Non toxic romance that doesn’t involve high schoolers.

Because of the swift and gluttonous bone eating camel slug that has infected almost all camels, many of the camel bones have yet to be discovered. Psychics have been used to fill in where science has failed, though with new methods both for combatting the slugs and looking inside of live camels on the horizon, many are eager to discover the remaining bones.

From the textbook The New Old Sexuality: A Cross Cultural Look at Kink
Achieving orgasm through pain has several phases shown as wave-like peaks in this image. The phases are known as the Western Pain (WP), Trough of Shift (ToS), Western Orgasm (WO), Refractory Trough (RT), Eastern Pain (EP), Trough of Ascendance (TA), and Eastern Orgasm (EO, also known colloquially as the And-gasm). Research into new phases tentatively called the Northern Orgasm (or exclusive or-gasm) is ongoing but requires pain beyond what stupid Donna on the ethics committee is willing to approve.

- Comment on Hair color is a spectrum 5 weeks ago:
It is becoming a bit easier to express individuality in Japan, but that definitely does not apply to most people working a corporate job. Any given picture of a crowded Japanese street that indicates rush hour will have a bunch of people in suits/etc with standard hair. Off hours or in the bigger cities there might be a more interesting sample.

Idiotectomies required the subject’s corporation for the best results. Hanneman’s (Journal of Medical Ethics, June 2017) breakthrough, illustrated here, uses bomb glasses to increase compliance. It is rare the fuse needs to be lit, but a lighter should be kept in plain view of the subject as both reminder and enforcement if necessary.

I’d also love to see the manga finished. But there’s probably enough for another season at least before catching up again.
- Comment on Does Super Metroid get any better? 2 months ago:
I miss the days when there wasn’t as much plot. We didn’t need Samus to have a relationship to the Chozo. They were just cool, mysterious alien statues. They could attack her. Then in Zero they could only have a puzzle battle to help her.
I really prefer the gameplay of Super as well. There aren’t so many speed booster puzzles. No long cutscenes. It’s really good at letting me get into a flow state. The music is great, too. If you’re not good at the game, you can get enough items to make a lot more mistakes. If you’re super good at it, there’s tons of sequence breaks.
Another thing I did not like about Zero was the stealth parts. Also didn’t like the qte in Dread nor the railroading. And the 2 remake’s parry mechanic was also annoying and constantly interrupted flow.
I’m surprised you liked two so much an I found the Gameboy one extremely repetitive. AM2R made it amazing, though, so if you haven’t tried that, give it a go. Not sure where you can get it these days, though.
The plots have also sometimes been meme worthy bad. Other M comes to mind.
Another thing I really didn’t like with some of the plot driven ones was excuses to not have items that were based on Samus being somebody’s subordinate. Just let me explore. Don’t give me a manager.
But if Super isn’t doing it for you, that’s valid. I hope you get more enjoyment than frustration from the series.

No, he’s emotionally abusive and insults her to her face. She tries to slap him in the face. Then he’s sweet to her. This is common in abusive relationships and is called the cycle of abuse. If you think that’s a healthy relationship, please see a therapist.
Scene in question: youtu.be/TNyZJ8IF_d0
Here’s what I see:
Cycle of abuse - tension, incident, reconciliation, calm

Studies like this are so we don’t go around saying “Well, obviously” without having actually determined if what you assume/feel/etc. stands up to scrutiny. They have value. But every article that’s like this gets a flippant comment like this without fail. Anyway, I’m a blanket that fell in the ocean 🥁🥁🛎️

That secondary couple is pretty screwed up, though. I’d avoid if OP is looking for wholesome.

Capturing a retrograde ejaculation on film is a rite of passage for many medical videographers. The urethra is plugged up by the camera leaving nowhere for ejaculate to go but into the bladder. The prostate is simulated until orgasm. Once the filming is complete, the subject should be given a light snack and released back into the wild.

I read the manga and imagined it with a lot of silence during the night. I tried the anime and the opening and first episode was such a different tone than what I expected that I stopped watching the preserve the mood I got from the manga. Anybody else have a similar experience?
