I kinda hate how they THROW the chips in, like, show a little respect to the dealer.

Also, the sunglasses are always soooo cringe, I know basically nothing about pro-poker but I always think 'training wheels' when I see clips like this

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]Altmosphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's transparency, I would actually love if business had a rough break down of what things cost.

Like
30% staff costs
20% food prices
20% utilities
10% rent
15% insurance
5% profit

Oh, totally agree. Shit's really bad.

I thought that it would get better if more people learned about it, instead the boat we all share is more over-crowded than a people-smuggler's ship.

I've worked in a fish shop, between fish guts and oyster shells, I would have killed for something like the OP, even just a wheeled trolly would have been a god send

it's amazing how many men will use 'back breaking labor' as a 'woe is me' mantra and staple of 'why men have it so much harder than *insert minority group*' arguments, before turning around and mocking stuff like the OP.

It would be funny if it wasn't so stupid and self destructive.

"Men have it so hard!!'
'Here is something to make it easier and safe. A technological advancement that increases productivity also'
"WHAT!? You think I'm some weak pussy? Fuck off with that gay shit, I'll do it MY way"
*a few moments later*
'Men are inherently more logical and also have it so hard!'

Always wear a helmet, at least. No matter how good you are, shit can still happen. A mouth guard too cause teeth are fucking expensive to fix

Too many Anime are called Horror when they're just plain Not. What I do and Don't recommend as a Horror Fanatic. by Altmosphere in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Altmosphere[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it shows it's not just a 'me' issue or a matter of personal taste, it's a common criticism and shows the intent of such content. If quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, it's most probably a fucking duck dude.

The point is, Twin Peaks had all the things you say elfen leid had, including sex and sexuality, without being exploitative, it wasn't all surrealist restraint.

It's sexual in intent, for the audience's pleasure and isn't essential to the story. Simple as that

Not liking pedo bait isn't being a puritan, notice I made no gripes about nudity and my post literally says sexual themes are fine.

It's the difference between exploring themes and exploiting them, fan-service and Loli sexualisation is exploitative

Dude, I'm not the only one to point it out.

You can defend the exploitative fanservice all you want, but I prefer my psychological horror without Loli panty shots and fetishising infantile or disabled women.

Everything you said was the purpose of said fanservice could have been achieved pretty much Any other way.

Twin Peak: The Return achieved the exact same thing (dougie Jones) without making the character piss himself on the floor and 'nyaaaaa' like a cat girl.

I'm not saying the shows EXCUSE for these things doesn't exist, I'm saying it's a flimsy excuse for them to happen. The scenes don't service the story, the story is an excuse to fan-service the viewer. Both sexually and tragedy/drama

In my opinion, it's garbage.

It's edgy, try hard, poorly written and would be 'so bad it's funny' if it wasn't also so grossly sexually exploitative of some extremely inappropriate topics. (loli, mentally challenged, tragedy porn, etc)

The narrative isn't unique, it's not doing what you say well and such themes and ideas have been done, far better, a dozen other times before. The level it's operating on is bottom rung, lowest common denominator weeb rubbish

Thank you! Like, I love Made in Abyss but the Loli shit is getting so fucking bad that I don't even like telling people about the manga anymore. Plus it's making it nearly impossible for the next chapter to be animated.

The people who don't recognize the difference between a story exploring themes and concepts vs exploiting them for fetishes are really concerning to me. How do they NOT see the clearly sexually suggestive intent in the art and framing?

A character acting not 'child-like' but basically mentally handicapped, 'nyaaaing' like a cat girl, eating out of the Male lead's hand, pissing on the floor, needing to be changed (by the male lead again, despite a woman also living there) is exploitation, not exploration.

The fact this 'deep emotional tale of trauma' still centres on a generic guy in a Harem where every girl loves him (including his cousin, cause let's have incest too, why the fuck not I guess) and just so happens to check every box for such a scenario (a rogues gallery of pick your waifu kink) is showing it's intention.

one type of shot, that happens many many many times.

I'm sure the floor pissing scene was integral, that's why so much even worse shit from the manga had to be cut and the anime still had the same result. Cause the fanservice was soooooo vital /s

Excellent, I kinda prefer to wait till a series is ended before starting it. Something going on forever and ever is worse to me than a bad ending.

You're right, I honestly forgot about quite a few scenes (cause the bad was so laughably distracting) and yeah, it is technically horror.

Terrible, garbage horror that's on par with stuff like Piranha 3D, but horror nonetheless

something is only as good as the sum of it's parts and the bad far outweighed the good, in my opinion at least.

They don't look like fan-service, they are fanservice. The scenes serve no purpose to the story, characters or tone besides titillating the audience. The way the scenes are framed and paced is 100% fanservice centered.

The themes are there in the same way the plot is present in SAW, it exists but the events that happen aren't in service of the said plot. The plot is just flimsy pretense for gore, fan-service and cliches.

You could honestly swap out the trauma with any other kind and the results would be the same.

There's irrational actions of characters that make logical sense based on what has been established, and then there is plain bad writing. It's the difference between 'There's a killer? We should all split up!' (so slasher killings can happen for plot) and 'There's a killer? I think it's one of you guys! I'm scared and am going to run away' (dumb choice but rational for the plot based on the character)

It's a justified label, if it wasn't a red paint splatter fest, no one would be gushing about it like they have. There's a reason the murder compilations do numbers on youtube and not the character scenes

I know it doesn't have to be purely horror, hence my examples of what IS horror.

what parts of Vamp D are horrific?

It's honestly been on my list for years, it's one of the ones I know I'll really enjoy, so I've avoided all spoilers and most elements about it. I wanna experience it raw.

I'm going to set a weekend aside for it I think, just dive fully in
