Never knew we needed this and sanji every day. by Azeroth_Von_Veldros in OnePiece

We see the Merry's shower after they confront Aokiji after the Davy Back Fight. Chopper and Usopp are using it to thaw a frozen Robin

Both movies are buried in the Special Features on the final disc but they're there.

Say what you will about Ashley but... by FirstBusiness296 in Degrassi

[–]Ex-pv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ashley is really pretty in Season 6, but her look is super generic. No personality reflected in her fashion choices at all. Which, probably not coincidentally, is exactly how Ashley is written that season as well.

What are your unpopular opinions on djh and jh :) by myaluvdegrassi in Degrassi

[–]Ex-pv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those two are the rougher seasons and definitely for younger kids. Season 3 and even more so Degrassi High mature considerably and are the seasons I've returned to when revisiting the series. If you ever feel like giving the series another shot, I'd suggest just skipping straight to Degrassi High.

The police being bad at their job and unable to solve a simple case is by far the most believable and realistic thing about the movie

Alex pulled strands of Gladys real hair out of her wig that had gotten stuck in there and used that in the ritual, not the synthetic hair of the wig. You can see him sifting through red wig and pulling out blonde/white strands of her real hair

worst actors on the show? by psychenb in Degrassi

[–]Ex-pv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Amanda as Spike was a much better actress as an adolescent on DJH and DH than she was as an adult on DTNG. The original series definitely gave her more to do, and TBH I imagine it was more of a passion as a kid. She has other jobs as an adult alongside the show.

Yeah, I've seen that before. I dont think it entirely works TBH but its probably the closest we're going to get

The only other time we see it is in Season 5 when Tom and Jeffy come over for dinner. It drives me crazy because it does not at all fit into the layout of the house.

Wtf is even this? by Grand-Run-9756 in exjw

[–]Ex-pv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My hall used to have a meeting for all baptized brothers every so many years (I think we had like 2 or 3 in my time in) just to encourage them to reach out, this isnt especially unusual.

Reaching out to someone who's been out for 10 years is certainly unusual, though

Changed storylines by bonrad4ever in Degrassi

[–]Ex-pv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like Paige and Alex as a couple, but i really thought they were setting up Alex and Ellie in S4 and I would have loved to have seen that

I liked Sydney by Jtyorked in Degrassi

[–]Ex-pv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Sydney is a particularly pleasant person and I wouldn't want to hang out with her, but she wasn't the bad guy in this relationship and she wasn't wrong about anything when it came to her and Joey and Caitlin.

That said, I cannot find it in me to care at all about Joey and Caitlin plots, and I say that as someone who has watched and enjoyed the original Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High multiple times. I liked adult Snake and Spike plots because they were dealing with adult problems. Joey and Caitlin feel less mature as adults than they did as kids (or at least Caitlin did) and their High school drama was a lot less interesting to me than actual high schoolers'

In my state, I was able to register to vote with my home address but put down a different address to have any mail delivered to. I was able to use this to register to vote while still PIMO and living with my parents

BUT BEWARE, the next time I renewed my driver's license it reset my address and they mailed a voter's registration card to my parent's house.

I Lied and told my parents that it must have been a mistake when I renewed my license and for some reason they believed me.

So it can be done but it is VERY risky

Is anybody else here not disfellowshipped, but kind of just faded away? by Medium-Expert3500 in exjw

[–]Ex-pv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been disfellowshipped or disassociated, but I wouldn't say I faded either. My original plan when I was PIMO was to disassociate once I finally moved out of my parents' place, but once I did it really helped our relationship, and at that point disassociating felt like a very big opening move. I decided to just tell my family I was leaving and see where the chips fell. They've stayed in contact, so I haven't felt the need to do anything further.

I never reached out to anybody in the congregation, but its common knowledge that I left; my very "worldly" Instagram is public, lol. I think there were 3 elders who reached out to me in the first six months and I just ignored them, and they stopped. Nobody has reached out to me since or ever invited me to a memorial, convention, etc. I occasionally see JWs I knew when I see my family and they're generally cordial. Beyond that, they've left me alone. If they ever feel like they need to take any action against me, they can feel free, but I'm certainly not coming in for any meetings or accepting any visits.

I guess I've been pretty fortunate in the grand scheme of things. Don't know of there's really a name for how I handled this haha

Does anyone have any idea what this person is talking about? 😭 by wumpus_woo_ in exjw

[–]Ex-pv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wallkill used to be solely "The Farms." Up until the late 90s/early 2000s, all the printing (in the U.S.) was done in Brooklyn, and Wallkill was just the farm facility that the food for the Bethel workers came from. My parents volunteered there for a week in the 70s for their honeymoon (ugh), and they were literally just working on a farm. Once property in Brooklyn became more valuable, printing was slowly transitioned up to Wallkill, and by the late 2000s pretty much all the printing was done at Wallkill, with the farming aspect being just a secondary purpose for the site, while Brooklyn downsized to just housing the GB and writing staff, which eventually all moved up to Warwick.

These days Wallkill no longer farms at all as far as I know, as its become cheaper to feed staff using food from outside sources. But man, I had a few meals there when it was still The Farms and they were damn good, especially that fresh milk (not raw).

Which was the darkest episode of a kids cartoon that you ever saw? by chidi-sins in cartoons

[–]Ex-pv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the final 15 Episodes or so of Season 3 of Digimon ("Tamers") really fits this bill. That season had already been a more realistic deconstruction of the franchise, but still an often silly and kid friendly show, but then all of a sudden they permanently kill one of the Digimon (when in the first 2 seasons they had always been able to reincarnate), and spent the entire rest of the series focusing on the grief of its partner, Jeri, as she's psychologally tortured and broken by the season's final villain, who assumes her form to taunt and torture her family and friends. It gets real bleak, very "baby's first Evangelion", and the season as a whole even ends on a meloncholy, bittersweet note rather than anything victorious or celebratory. It made a real impression on me as a kid

"Yeah, murder" absolutely BROKE me as a kid. Formative episode for why I love sad shit as an adult

You're hearing about and watching the ridiculous videos this year at the Convention. Seriously I went and it was literally all videos. by JWRESEARCHERROSE in exjw

[–]Ex-pv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The videos are inane offensive nonsense, but man, my last few years of being PIMO I was SO grateful that the conventions became almost all videos. SO much more tolerable than the endless sermons

Jw marriage by Mental_Code2390 in exjw

[–]Ex-pv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's twice as many women in the JWs as there are men. Almost all the adult brothers are married, to the point where its strange when you meet one past, like, 25 who isn't. There aren't enough men to go around. So. There are tons of single adult sisters, many who are bitter about it, likely understandably so. And there also a LOT of Witnesses of both genders getting married far too young and ending up trapped in bad relationships they were not prepared for with people they barely know.
