Distinct Lunatic

Keep throwing those buzzwords out, I'm sure it'll hurt me eventually.

I don't know if you're a degenerate or not, so I'll start off simple,

Exactly. I believe in a statute of limitations of sorts when it comes to spoilers. I'm not saying one should be free to drop heavy spoilers or full on give certain things of real surprise away, but after a period of time you have no one to blame but yourself. Like Breaking Bad for example back when that aired, or TWD when people actually cared about it, after a new episode aired if you were the type that puts yourself in a place where you're at the mercy of people spoiling it (such as social media or even articles) there's a period of time where if you want to avoid getting spoiled you need to see it ASAP. Same thing for hot movie releases, like Marvel stuff or SW, if you don't see them within the first two weeks of release you have no one to blame but yourself. And when it comes to anime series, considering how big of a deal Bleach was, at one point it being viewed as on the same level as Naruto and One Piece, considering the Bleach anime ended like 8 years ago, and the manga around 4 years ago, you're likely to have been spoiled long before they announced it's returning. Like hell, I gave up on liking and following One Piece back at the end of the Enies Lobby or whatever arc with Robin and Frankie, and without even trying or looking up anything about the series since I have a rough idea of many big plot points that came after. Same for Naruto Shippuden, I gave up on it (mostly due to lack of time back then) around the time Jiraiya died, but I pretty much know every major and minor event that happened since, without even trying to find out.

Right... Cause you'll forever be the guy with a hairpin trigger when it comes to anything that comes across as even the slightest spoiler, throwing your little tantrums like back in the ASMB days. And man do you folks love your buzzwords.

Three of my four grandparents has british origins, the one that doesn't has Swedish origins. According to ancestry, I'm 74% English/Welsh, 16% Irish/Scottish, and 10% Swedish

Considering I'm almost a solid 75% British, I would find it interesting to see England one day, but considering the state of that country, imma hold off on that...

It makes sense if you think about it. For the hundred thousand plus years that humanity has existed, we've lived and worked outside like other species. Even after we started building shelters, everyone still spent the majority of their time out providing food, or other necessities. But for the past hundred years things have gotten more and more to the point where people don't need to go outside, and as far as working to provide for yourself, it's commonplace for people to have a job that's indoors. And I'd say the closer you get to the 2000's the more you see people that straight up don't go outside unless they have to, kids also are more glued to games and electronic devices. So in short, you have significantly less time spent outdoors on average, coupled with all these electronic devices that produce blue light. One thing I've been making sure to do for the last couple of years is avoid being in a dark room looking at a screen as much as possible. Even if it's 3 in the morning and I'm sitting on my pc or whatever, I make sure the room is light up, that used to fuck up my eyes real bad when I'd look at screens in the dark.

Fallout? More like pullout. Get it? cause the pull and the out and I'll stop talking...

Not gonna read the article, but going off what I do know, it would make sense. Larger amounts of people are nearsighted or straight up have worse eyesight in comparison to people in the past. Considering for several decades now people have been staring at tv screens, or with modern technology smart phones, as well as computer screens for multiple hours in the day, all of which produces a lot of blue light, which does have an affect on you. If you spent the majority of your time outdoors in natural light that has more red in it, and also less time on computers and such it'd be expected for someone to have better eyesight.

it works for me, that said though if I had kids it wouldn't. In the first couple of years it'd work out well enough, but by the time they're going to school aside from brief moments I likely wouldn't see them much Monday through Friday. If I wanted a day job my only real choice is to go for a lead shift job, which does pay a bit more, but I'd have to come in briefly on the weekends and any day that we're off, that not counting as overtime since it's in our contract. Aside from that if I wanted a day job I'd have to work like 10 years just to have enough seniority for a chance at a day job that isn't a lead position.

I think you're overreacting. I've been doing 2:30 to 11's for just over 2 years now. My routine being after I get home at 11, I'll typically be up til 2-3am, that's around 3-4 hours right there, and I try to be up by 10am, which gives me around 4 hours there. So I'm able to get an average of 7 hours of free time during the weekdays.

Only the best for the best,

Gentlemen, no need to fight. Look at this picture of Froppy being cute

For the school district in my city they were eying August to return as we normally would, but now the board has no real clue on when it will happen. Some people even tossed around the idea that it might not be until January when the kids will go back, or one possibility is they return as scheduled but if this thing picks back up then them take off the second half of the school year.

Nice. Between me, and all the friends I've had whose dads I knew, I've only met two that were also really into playing games. A cousin of mine that's an accountant in Florida making over 100 grand a year is a big nerd and plays games. I remember talking to him once years back about Skyrim, him having hundreds of hours in a playthrough he was doing. Other than him, back when I was a kid a friend of mines parents would also play a lot of games, both his mom and his dad... was pretty jealous. My step-dad doesn't play games at all and refuses to touch them. My mom wants to but he won't allow her to since he's old fashioned like that and doesn't think a woman her age (47) should be playing video games.

I think they had a scene where someone asked if she was dating tree guy, her responding with something like no comment or whatever, so probably. Midnight strikes me as the type that will get married in her 30's to some guy that's still in his 20's, I've seen quite a few manga series over the last couple of years with that trend, younger men marrying older women. And considering she's definitely into younger guys.

Something like that. I do like the 400 speed, it's definitely pretty nice, I bought RDR2 yesterday and downloaded the 100 something GB of it in like 30-40 minutes. I do have the option of getting gigabit for only $30 more, which I might consider after I have 1 or 2 more loans paid off.

Back when I was moving into my place I went to order Spectrum, and the guy kept trying to sell me on their cable. I told him I just wanted internet, he tried asking me how many devices I have and if I game on anything (not that its any of his business) I mentioned a couple things and he was all "Man, I don't think the 200(mbps) will be enough, I think you need at least 400." I told him 200 was enough, especially compared to what I came from, him wanting to know about that to (although again its none of his business). He then told me I need to sign up for their triple play (Cable, Internet, & phone) I told him I don't want that, and I won't even use the other two things and he was all "Just listen, just listen! If you sign up for that you'll get the 400 included at no additional cost, and a month later you can just drop the other 2 but the 400 will stay included" so I said fuck it, sure... When it came to the installation they fucked up, on their system it said the house was already wired but the wire on the utility poll was disconnected and the guy wasn't equipped with a ladder (dude was also nosy as hell, wanting to know how many people lived with me and when I said just myself he kept prying into my life), he had to leave and said he'd schedule a new installation date, which didn't happen I had to call them up, and in addition to that my account that was created when I signed up for the service was locked, them making a new account and in the end I'm paying the extra $30 for the 400mbps (which I love now that I have it, but the way they handled it all was bs).

It pretty much comes down to type casting. Considering 90% or more of anime characters despite being Asian are depicted as having white skin, and when it comes to black folks voices, I find black women to have a better vocal range and can fill the roles of these characters better, but black guys typically have more distinct, deeper voices so it'd really depend on the role.

You should know by now Elfie only reads between the lines to draw whatever interpretation he wants to have.

Pretty sure it's for a number of reasons. The series is aimed more so toward males, there definitely being a large percentage that idolize / glorify the female characters. It's somewhat similar to how women of fame in Japan (such as idols, fem VA's, and so on) aren't allowed lovers otherwise the otaku plague will shun them and their career will take a nose dive. Same thing would apply with this series, I can bet that for just about every female character in the series you'll find people out there that idolize her to the point where if they see some other man hook up with them they'll get pissed off and stop supporting the series. It also doesn't help that the series is a shonen action series, and one thing I failed to see is a shonen series that features real, believable romance between characters. Some people think that even just a touch of romance here and there will derail a series, turning it into a love story (which I blame on series that have implemented romance in the past but to the extent where it's in your face, kind of like what happens with every American animated show that features romance, which is kind of why a lot of them will have the two main characters that are obviously gonna end up together make not hook up until like the last 5 minutes of their series.
