A lot of those are already on my list, so I’ll make sure they make it onto my screen this year

I forgot to talk about the many other shows I’ve watched in the last year! Unfortunately I didn’t grow up watching anime so I don’t have the nostalgia for it that most 90’s kids do, but the turn of the century is my favorite era of the medium. I’ve seen a lot from around then in the last year: Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf’s Rain, Ghost in the Shell, NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain, Key the Metal Idol, Ergo Proxy, Read or Die

I really missed out on this stuff when I was a kid. Ghost In The Shell (the films and Standalone complex) would have been a formative experience for me as a teen

I wasn’t kidding about the one year thing, I’m back! All of these shows were great. You weren’t kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can’t believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it’s cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There’s a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can’t bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I’m fond of both series

I haven’t watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it’s one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It’s crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

What took Matt’s code over an entire month to run, viewers optimized so damn hard that the majority of the runtime of the code is just loading the words, so they started optimizing the code to run while the word list was loading. Takes like 4 milliseconds to load the word list, and 2 milliseconds to run the program

People joke about the Parker Square, but he’s unironically the most inspiring public figure imo. The king of Doing The Damn Thing

And if they don’t have it there, they can at least recommend other peach cultivars you might like with absolutely no regard for the genre of peach that you were looking for. Sorry we didn’t have any Canadian Harmonies, would you like a May Pride, or maybe a Donut Peach?

(Made extra realistic by the fact that I don’t actually know the differences between different peach cultivars)

If I buy a game, I don’t even own that copy of the game??

Here’s my chance to shill for GOG in this thread! It feels nice to legally own a copy of Stardew Valley

It’s about the societal expectations of paying your due to people who have put work into something you want.

An excellent argument in favor of banning the sale of used copies of media

And you only get to see what peaches Peaches+ has the rights for at this time. There’s no guarantee they’ll have a Canadian Harmony next week, and if you didn’t try one when they were available, then that sucks. There’s a used bluray copy of Canadian Harmony available on Amazon for $60 if you’re interested.

I pirate because I want to watch Last Exile now, not 3 months ago when Hulu had the rights to it, and not some time in the future when they may acquire the rights again

Also it’s easier than finding physical copies of 30 year old OVAs

I’m ignoring it because you don’t really have anything to say besides “we don’t know what the health effects of lab grown meat will be” when it’s quite literally exactly the same as normal meat. It’s like complaints about GMOs. The process of producing it may be different, but the physical material that you consume is literally identical on a chemical level. It’s nothing like cigarettes.

Wrong. Doctors lied about it for years when it first came out and long after

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Counterblaste_to_Tobacco

Some doctors may have been wrong, but that doesn’t mean nobody knew cigarettes were dangerous. I’ll save my time and assume that if you’re this unabashedly wrong about this, you’re probably as unabashedly wrong about everything else too

What’s the actual difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell, aside from the fact that cancer cells don’t kill themselves? Is cancer from a cow transmissible to humans?

People knew the effects of tobacco for centuries, actually. But also, it became widely known as soon as it started being widely investigated. I have the same argument about vapes all the time. Within like 2 years cigarettes went from being something prescribed by doctors to something that everyone knows gives you cancer. When something is as heavily scrutinized as vapes or lab-grown meat, you can be damned sure the effects will be widely understood within a couple of decades

What is in lab grown meat that you reckon is harmful?

Is the leaves thing common for people who get glasses for the first time? That was the most intense sight for me at 25 years old, was seeing the individual leaves on a tree like 50 feet away

Sharing users’ mental health information with advertisers and connecting LGBT users with Christian faith-based therapists are the two big issues I’m aware of

Try finding me in one year when I’ve watched all of those shows

Thanks for the recommendations!

Doesn’t happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes

Never mind the fact that I’ll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers

Do u think it’s actually being stored in water vapor in the sky

Edit: removed implied support for Hamas. Both militaries should burn. Hope for a quick end to the conflict for the sake of the civilians affected.

Sharks are smooth

Edit: 1 billion lions VS every pokemon is also up there
