Seems only fair since the delivery man was already baring her nachos.

I have so much unopened shit in a box already, I'm really reluctant to add to it this year. Unless someone suddenly licenses and releases Monster or Rakugo without warning, I'm going to try to restrain myself. Any new Haikyuu or Natsume would also probably tempt me beyond resistance. I need to start selling shit off or donating it to the library...

If you like board games and cute, ultra-shy girls, it's fine. I ended up dropping it after about 4 episodes, mostly for time (already watching waaaaaaay too many series), but her shyness got on my nerves, likewise the uber-genkiness of the other girl. The board game stuff was interesting, which was the main draw for me, but it kinda goes by fast. You barely learn the rules (which will bore most people even at lightspeed), and there's not a lot of play time either. But I think the character development should suffice if you like their types. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun (about the demon who adopts a human grandson) is the other surprise stand-out for me this season. It's really stupid and silly, but the characters are chock full of charisma and I'm having a blast with it. If you've seen Nanbaka, it has a similar tone to its comedy and ambiance (not so many sparkles though). The synopsis made it sound like a dull one-joke pony, but they do something unexpected with the premise every week.

To my surprise, Honzuki no Gekokujou (the isekai about the book girl) is really good. In the last couple of episodes, which was really awesome.

The dub was airing on adult swim until a few weeks ago.

I got a 100 page book in the mail (big margins, 14 pt font) explaining that the Catholic Church is the antichrist because they changed the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Apparently people resting on the wrong day pisses God off more than anything.

That wasn't a rant. It was merely an observation. You'll know if I'm ranting.

Andrew Giuliani not Andrew Giuliani If I were Rudy I'd be asking for a paternity test...

Wait, you mean he meant with an actual toothbrush?

Nov. 19th is International Men's Day! What will you do to celebrate yourself and/or the men in your life? (Bookmark this for next March 8th, when guys will be crawling out of the woodwork on International Women's Day to whine about "So when is Men's Day, huh?")

I've learned to never eat Thanksgiving or Christmas at other people's houses. Every home seems to have their own weird traditions as to what tastes good, and put in exotic spices my palate rejects, and serves dishes or ways of cooking my stomach rejects and I end up starving, after politely nibbling on things. The farther you get distance- and kinship-wise from home, the worse it is. Like I can tolerate some of the food at family reunions, but I'd take cafeteria food over most of what's been put before me in other people's homes. It's only holidays though, mostly. I usually do ok with potlucks and dishes people bring to parties.

I'm still waiting for the beginning of the story. Did I come in late or something?

A lot of Markiplier's fans who had their gmail accounts locked out would beg to differ. They've supposedly fixed it, but the fact that it could happen in the first place is troubling, given the fact that people use gmail for work and googledrive for archiving. Tie your internet into all that too, and it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

The first person I ever heard throw out the "black people can't swim" trope was my uncle who was the very embodiment of the "your racist uncle" meme. If you think Trump has no filter, you should've met this guy. Apparently I couldn't hide the look on my face when he popped out with that, because he followed up with, "Oh yeah, they sink like a stone." Aside from being astonished every time I'm reminded that it wasn't just one of his personal racist mouthfarts, I'm still wondering where that came from and why it would even be something to make a stereotype out of. Even if it were true, it's not funny, it doesn't indicate any character defect that proves any point. Wtf? That was my reaction, then and now. Wtf?

So is it tied to your gmail account, like YouTube? So if they suspend your YT account they'll now also suspend your internet service like they wipe out your gmail, googledrive?

I don't disagree with most of that (except that I wasn't bored), and Shiroyuki is absolutely a Mary Sue, but it's pretty clear that review was written by an incel who thinks all women in real life are hypergamous gold diggers. He can't imagine that being essentially abducted against your will to be some rich creeper's sex toy is a bad thing, as long as you're otherwise living in comfort. Most women with the means to do so would nope right out of there, as she did.

I liked it. If you enjoy fantasy romances it's fine. The heroine is quite self sufficient, and her prince is cool, and his right hand man is the best (and also in love with heroine, but knows his place). Palace intrigue and all that. I didn't find it boring, but it's also not super heart-pounding, in either the action or romance departments. Pleasant and mostly harmless, with some very likeable characters?

The Japanese are so shy about touching each other that if they weren't so uncoordinated they would have died out centuries ago.

True, but transmen who can still get pregnant and want to probably don't exist in sufficient numbers to make a ripple in the birthrate. So wasted effort there.

"the nation's bureaucrats, who have spent much of the past few years trying to find the right incentives to get more of their countrymen pregnant" Well, there's your problem right there.

That was almost 2 years ago. Is it still happening? It's hard to imagine how it got in there in doses high enough to kill from one can, without it being deliberately added.
