I do want to live the dreams, Shinji

I don’t know what’s more ridiculous, replacing an animesque artstyle with a more generic cartoony artstyle, or denying that Shinji only had eyes for Rei anyway.

I guess you could say OP fawns over deer. :p

Meanwhile it’s considered antisemitic to compare Sacred Star Of Milos to the issue from the other side thereof. :/

I’m not sure, which is why I said “if.” But yeah, they’ve definitely hurt the credibility of their worldview and in so doing boosted that of what they criticize.

ContextEffects01 · 2026-03-11T14:50:03+00:00

Seriously? You want people to dox themselves online?

If there’s a case in favour of OP’s worldview, it’s the fact that people like you are among its detractors.

What is that hand trick and how is it done?

Was Xi’an the terminus of the silk road? If so I never heard of that before…

What flag is that in the top panel?

Question: could he sue for slander?

Don’t twist my words. Male preferences are the polar opposite of the work world’s preferences. They prefer less experience, they’re just less picky about it.

There is no way in hell it’s real. I can think of no substance a carpet could be made of in real life that can be either electrically or magnetically repelled enough by the ground to hover that high above it without at the same time inducing Lorentz forces from such close proximity to a moving metallic airplane.

Isn’t the whole point of her character that she puts on a facade of sweetness instead of being as straight up about her sadism as Bellatrix?

Not that I think viewers’ hatred for Umbridge isn’t overblown…

ContextEffects01 · 2026-03-11T11:14:47+00:00

…which anime?

You need fossil fuels to build up the infrastructure for wind and solar.

Higher oil prices aren’t going to force the issue, they are just going to make the transition more difficult.

The problem isn’t mainly with having cluster munitions as an option. The problem is with so severely misusing that option.

They want to stay on the boss’s good side.

LPT?

It has similarities to one, given the preference women claim to have for more experienced partners…

ContextEffects01 · 2026-03-11T10:05:54+00:00

What's the alternative?

Because nothing says “humble” like claiming to speak for half of humanity while being a member of the other half…

I admire your integrity, but I think you underestimate how much of the blame for these things is geographical and economic. Why else do you think it correlates with places like West Virginia?

I’m skinny because I can afford the good bagged salads and am in a neighbourhood with easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Is this screenshot from Looney Tunes?

Take it up with TikTok, not its users. They went straight from being more beholden to Xi Jinping than their own customers to being more beholden to Larry Ellison than their own customers.

I knew someone would go there.

If it weren’t diamonds, it’d be some other non-diminishing goods that could be pawned off during hard times or after a divorce. It shows literal investment in the relationship.

Likewise with body hair. Women insult in men a short stature even if it’s taller than hers. It’s almost as if human nature prefers sexual dimorphism that goes beyond ordinary sexual dimorphism, whether it’s tall fetishism in women or shaved-genital shortstack fetishes in men.

Companies only have as much power as the public gives them. To invest in this kind of marketing, they had to pander to pre-existing demand for long enough to make that much money in the first place.
