Moon and Mercury had boots, Jupiter had sports shoes, only Mars and Venus had heels. The boots had low heels and since I have a pair similar heel-wise, you can run in them if you have to. It's a solid heel and their boots are fitted so there wouldn't be any slipping movement. Plus, Moon had that 'Moon Kick' early on before she had access to actual distance weapons so still needed a solid shoe for that. For Mercury, the boots would be a sensible alternative to her usual school-issued shoes which were more like slip-ons. Since both were originally from the same school, it's possible that their transformation to basic boots was based on their initial school-issued outfits which would have been the same. Jupiter was always a tomboy, an athlete and a late transfer to the school so she kept the more grounding athletic shoe to compliment her electricity attacks and her ability to go head-to-head in a strength battle if necessary which would require as much foot tread on the ground as possible. Mars went to a private school which had heels as part of their uniform and she was a Shinto Priestess used to wearing geta while at the temple. She already had plenty of practice balancing and running in heels and her attacks were distance based from the start. The same can be said for Venus who was a transfer student used to fighting crime in Europe for a bit. She also started out immediately with more long distance attacks which don't require 'sensible' shoes, just shoes that she would be familiar with. As far as the whole Star Trek thing, honestly maybe the whole 'no positive or well-written gay characters' is because in that future time it wasn't a point of contention at all. Other than Kurt tongue-punching the mouth-holes of anything with obvious boobs, I don't think actual sexual orientation was considered something to scream loudly about. Humanity had moved on and all orientations were just that - part of the individual and no longer a reason for judgement / harassment by others. In other words, it might not be that it was omitted because 'icky' but because the series as set was set in a future where today's issues with nosey judgy idiots wouldn't have even been an active memory. The outfit choices...have you seen the types of clothing on old sci-fi pulp covers? Everyone in the 50's and 60's thought future clothing would be all bared chests and crotch-snuggies. And Ricardo Montalban would have found any excuse to show off his chest at that age anyway. He was damned proud of it and worked hard to keep himself that frickin' muscular at the age he was at when the movie was shot.

Damn straight. I'm also the one who saved up and bought a set of metal chopsticks to eat my shitty $0.10 ramen bricks with so I could feel like I had something. I still have and use those things too. Gods damned things are nearly 30 years old now.

I drag my meals home and eat them in my cave like a good little goblin.

They were the cheap ones. That's all we'd get at home because paying extra for anything name brand was frivolous. It's why I also hate Rite-Aide flavored drink. Screw you, gimme Kool-Aide. Preferably grape. During my college years, they were the cheap crappy tea bags that I would slowly pillage from the college cafeteria over the course of the school year in order to have something to drink during breaks. In those years, it was one brick of cheap ramen a day and tea. Split the brick, extra water and two cups of tea [ one bag ] per meal for two meals daily. Currently I keep Republic of Tea and Harney & Sons teas stocked here - each little tea bag makes a full glass pot of tea without being all watered down and weird. And if I did try the old cheap garlic bread trick, it would now be done in a glorious Batman toaster. Classy af.

I used to very lightly butter a slice of bread, sprinkle it with garlic powder and toast it in the toaster for garlic toast. That and two cups of tea using the same tea bag twice would often be a meal.

Max can handle the criticism. I saw what he did to that sheepie. That poor innocent little sheepie.

I freely admit that I just don't like what feels like a split in the general Toonami schedule for an in-house comedy program even if it's temporary and mainly as a placeholder for a future program that fits the schedule better. I already fall asleep by Shippuden as it is. I'm still sore over premiers getting pitched to the graveyard slots in favor of comedy reheats and that was how long ago?

No offense to Max but Gemusetto should be at the ass-end of the schedule. Even with Demon Slayer being re-runs currently, it still should have a higher priority on the schedule than an in-house comedy parody.

It's been snowing since 8a today and this isn't the main event which is happening Thursday. I like the winter cold but kinda wished I had an extra week - I still need to put up the plastic on the windows.

^^^???^^^ Gods damn it, @crackymckrackin @Rogue_Alphonse - is that the reason y'all wanted me to join?? Y'all are gross. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I read the Tokyo Ghoul light novels. I won't say that I won't read more in the future because I did enjoy the ones I read. But I'm not currently in a light novel binge mode. And since I have so many other books right here staring at me waiting patiently to be read, I don't exactly have an excuse to go out and get a bunch of interesting looking light novels to add to the stacks.

Me : so excited that the two new shelving units I ordered finally showed up so that I can shrink that particular footprint while increasing book storage. Especially since it had mysteriously not been delivered on schedule due to 'labeling issues' Me : sees that one of the boxes has been beat all to hell and re-taped, all the parts had very obviously been punted across at least one floor somewhere, the main sides are damaged, and the little baggie holding all the nails, screws, plugs, and pegs is missing. Also, my cat is angry because there are piles of books by her toy basket and that is not allowed because that's her space. She's gonna poop on the carpet tonight, I just know it.

People are free to make one if they wish. I thought this was going to be the discussion thread myself but no one came back.

My answer 'Unless you are really ready to start a new religion based around old people and virgin births, the answer is the same as it was 5 minutes ago - no' .

The only true use for sponge's gross asshole is as a ban screen. One day...one day...

Well, the hemorrhoid looked pretty 'healthy' . O.< Honestly, if there's that much of a demand for it other than the coronavirus thread in Rants just use the Food folder for all things related to health as far as I'm concerned. Eating good food is healthy, might as well have people posting their exercise ideas, recipes and general health concerns in there.

Some stiff. Feeds worms.

If you would kindly recheck my initial post in this thread, you would have seen that I did not, in fact, wish any hatchday merriments. I posted a 'day off' pic instead. I AM THE AWESOME! BAWHAHAHAHA!!!

I had to get the brain tickler test back in April but it came back negative. If I get it, it would have to be so sever I end up in the hospital because with my normal aches and pains, I wouldn't notice it otherwise.

? It's showing up fine for me that doesn't mean much for others depending on how they are seeing the site.

Bullcrap. I normally don't see a spider [ the bi-annual pulling of all the books to vacuum behind the cases doesn't count because I'm actively hunting the bastards then ] until I'm stepping into the shower. That's when some hairy mf magically appears right in the damn tub and I end up burning through most of the hot water sending its ass back to hell via the drain. That aside, whenever I see a huge flock of garbage gulls circling a parking lot, I kind of wonder if this is the time a giant squid will rise up through the asphalt and start throwing cars in all directions.

RaptorPat on his day off...

Yes please. Let's not talk about or post skimpy 'lolis' for the lols or as an attempt at titilation. Age of consent isn't a factor in the sequel as far as I'm aware. This has merely been a pre-emptive posting.

Is this just a cycle thing or did someone say something stupid to cause you to hate your current measurements / depression rearing its ugly skull again? Because you are quite fine the way you are and don't let anyone including the ugly skull tell you otherwise in order to make you feel bad for their amusements. If it's a cycle thing, meh, I do that too. The only reason I eat anything at all some days is because it doesn't take much for my blood sugar to drop. Otherwise, it can be days without food.
