Glad to hear that. It is the calm before the storm here, so mostly I get to bum around and enjoy the ladies in summer dresses....

Oh hey. Doing well I hope.

What Naraku imagines the date will be like....

The only thing he'll get "back" is moved....

Prolonged anxiety can lead to sleep problems, weight gain and cardiovascular issues. Get yourself a spa day....

She had you moved back another 200 ft huh....

Alphas have a sense of humor.....

Say you are going out after work and want to look good. Or just say that you wanted to up your personal style game and wear a tie for the rest of the week. No biggie. You aren't going to be sent to HR (WTF seriously do you work at some millennial snowflake factory where people get sent to the principle's office for dumb shit) because you decided to wear a tie to work.

Wear a dress shirt with a tie, problem solved.

I will say this; this forum does have a fairly broad representative sample to draw from. The fact that it reflects so poorly upon itself is perhaps an indictment of the fandom, rather than a unique condition to this particular forum. That being said, this forum in the Toonami folder is actually fairly good, if somewhat limited in numbers, when it comes to gauging general interest in Toonami and how well received the programming choices are.

Behold, the physical incarnation of "Left Swipe"....

There is merit to that observation....

Well, a lot of networks want to do away with Neilson in large part in order to have better control over ad rates and revenues. The problem is that without ratings, there is no real way for companies to determine just how many potential buyers are seeing/hearing ads for their products. Streaming is easier, since that can be tracked more readily than a broadcast, but the fact remains that I, as a company, am not going to pay out top rate for a program that is not getting a sizeable share of the audience I am targetting.

No to what? Ratings? Using UEMB Toonami as a gauge? Nekkid Kunoichi?

.... Nah, too easy....

Dumbass. I'll just go with that....

Like a tombstone or something? Know what, unless it was a double decker from Old World in Oak Park then that is shameful....

Well, in a way it is a perfect fan group. Jman is the "gonna hate no matter what" segment, a vocal but largely ignored minority. Owl is the opposite, shipping no matter how bad in support of the brand, which is a semi-sizable segment. Most of the rest of us fall somewhere in the middle, depending on the show. In general we tend to like most of what is shown, and we chat about the episodes and whatever else tickles our fancy at the time. In that regard I would think this would be a decent, if small, representative sample to observe. Should DeMarco waste his time here, probably not, could he perhaps learn something of value, possibly, if he was incognito.

I'd fund it....

It has been a good Sunday so far. Went to church, watching the Indy 500, and Coca-cola 600, going to grill some steaks tomorrow.

Sucks that Shanara got cancelled. Kind of hope that Shadowhunters gets renewed, but this last season was such a bag of WTF that I'm doubting it.

I was wondering, given that Turner no longer cares about ratings as much (probably because they don't get them anymore....), and instead are focusing on building fan groups, I would be curious to know if this little slice of internet could be considered by the execs as a fan grouping? Would it be possible, if the UEMB Toonami folder demonstrated high unique user traffic numbers (hahahahhaha yeah, but for the sake of discussion we'll go with it) would it be able to sway decisions. For example, would it be able to, with Toonami Faithful, make a pitch for a show which might otherwise not be considered if there was enough positive traffic around said show. If ratings don't matter as much (flimsy premise but we'll be nice to Turner execs), could we see a Toonami that puts up serious cash for big name titles on a seasonal basis? Curious as to what you all think.

You cad....
