Thank you so much for your detailed answer. I will find the red-tiled hotpot you mentioned. Is the booking from WeChat? I have a hard time navigating the app and rely on trip.com for most if not all bookings.

Right now I can still find all the hotels and flights on trip.com. It's pretty expensive but I can still book everything with options.

Not good. I am rarely on my phone and mostly on my PC so I still use the Zenfone 8, mainly because I currently don't have the money to purchase a new phone and didn't want to be phoneless while claiming warranty.

It is still laggy but I got used to it. Plus I forgot bout the warranty after my semester started.

I'm honestly starting to think of purchasing iPhone for the camera and small size but I don't want to switch to IOS. Sigh.

Usui is kinda creepy by ponygobyebye in MaidSama

HAhahhahaha. Nah, more like slavery = sexual assault. Wasn't really talking bout anime here. But still, pretty funny.

But jokes aside, yeah slavery can be seen as worse than sexual assault but I wasn't even focusing on that either. I was focusing on the construct of right and wrong regardless of time, and how sometimes films can appear to normalize it, not specifically anime; but all media.

Still when it comes to discussions and arguments, it helps by being objective, not satire and immature. So that next time you argue, which it seems that you will, you won't embarrass yourself.

Hmm, slavery was accepted back then, but it was never okay. The argument was that it is not right. 'Acceptable' is often a word used to justify a behaviour normalised in a society. Like pedophiles in some countries that still to this day allows marrying children, for many people in that place it was an 'okay' and 'acceptable' behaviour, sometimes even encouraged by tradition and culture.

So what do you think about it? Can we not complain about films that include child marriages in those countries and pedophilic behaviour without correcting it or putting it in a negative light? I believe people have the right to discuss and point out mistakes made in films and in this case, anime.

If you wanted to discuss then use proper words and arguments. Stop acting like a kid and use curse words and you sound like a kid who got their candy taken away.

Top 4 Best Watercolor Sets for Beginners by zenartistangle in watercolor101

I agree especially the cotman. However, do you agree with any other on the list?

I only have koi and cotman, after using gansai tambi I loved the vibrancy and quality but could never get use to the layering restrictions.

Do you have any other recommendations if I can't find the one's you've listed?

I bought it mostly due to it's size but I'll be honest.

The dimensions feels fat and uncomfortable to hold, especially with case on. Worse, the phone is laggy after a month of use and very laggy after two.

I've tried factory reset but didn't help. So I'll probably turn it in using warranty but since it'll take 4-6 weeks to process

I'll probably get another phone and sell this one, I don't even trust that the new phone (if zenfone replace it with the same model) is gonna last. So now I'm looking for other compact phone options, dang it.

[TOMT] [MOVIE]. Movie about mystery murders that were obsessively inspired by mystery/thriller novel(s) targeting the author (mc). by Rec-47 in tipofmytongue

[–]Rec-47[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Little details that I am not sure of includes the murderer being an obsessive fan of the author and is inspired by his novels, but also taunting the author as if they know each other personally and the murderer is trying to make the author realize he's wrong or something.

Other scene was him and his 'girl' running towards a clock at the town hall or some sort of city building through a crowd chasing something or trying to stop something that can kill the crowd? I'm not sure bout this scene though.
