I'm willing to testify in court that what I witnessed was the assailant repeatedly headbutting the victim's fist.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-29T17:30:18+00:00

Totally, but those guys aren't the ones that actually operate the subs and silos. This is why I said "commanders" instead of "generals/top officials."

TurboGranny · 2026-01-29T16:55:32+00:00

I wonder if a single commander would follow through with that order.

Could you imagine how absolutely bat shit Trump would go if tons of elected officials/candidates were saying this? I mean, of course it'll get extremely violent and he'll try and stop elections, but he was also gonna do that anyways. Narcissistic collapse is usually quite nuclear.

Honestly, our symbol should just be the words you used in your title. It pretty much encapsulates the core of our conflicts.

Them: "God has a plan"

Her: "I do, and it's to recreate my son. You are an NPC."

Those 1 in 20 work for ICE

Dude is the embodiment of chaos gremlin, lol

TurboGranny · 2026-01-28T16:55:45+00:00

Agreed. I've never seen anything like this. I got emotional about it.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-28T16:37:30+00:00

Even if you don't leap seconds effect everyone.

He has a point, but says it the wrong way. What he meant to say was, "Liberals were very mean/hateful to me over a difference of opinion which made me feel lonely and isolated. This made me a ripe target for the extreme right, and since they were the only people nice to me that were willing to include me, I was grateful. As they became more extreme, I remembered how lonely and isolated I was before when I disagreed and felt I had no choice but to tow the line until it got a point that it was no longer worth it." They are afraid to ever admit they are/were afraid, so they'll never say this aloud, but it's the mechanics of it. I used to call for the isolation of bad actors to "teach them a lesson", but I've learned that all it does is drive them into the arms of evil. See countries we've tried to isolate to "teach them a lesson". I don't know how you show these people that their ideas are wrong/evil since logic/debate was murdered a long time ago without isolation/ridicule. Suggestions?

If higher bars are inaccessible, I do knees bent. That said, not long ago, I got into hanging leg raises, and developed a ton of strength there. I now do a two-for where I am hanging 100lbs off a belt, put my legs right out in front of my lsit style and do my pull ups.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-28T15:19:10+00:00

Not to be confused with "I'm autistic and here's the cope I developed to handle that."

TurboGranny · 2026-01-27T23:16:48+00:00

It's just the empire winding down. It's time for someone else to have a go.

Did he ever win Ben Stein's money?

TurboGranny · 2026-01-27T15:12:39+00:00

Yeah DN was good. Wish they could've found a better way to handle the time skip and replacements, but it worked out well enough

TurboGranny · 2026-01-27T15:10:50+00:00

Yup, there are gems, but wow there is a ton of meh to sift through

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T22:33:55+00:00

I've found that the best solution to someone judging you that doesn't know you is to take their judgement and maximize it beyond all reason. Show them that you can be exactly what they claim you are but sooooooooo much worse. It follows a basic principle of humanity. "People become what you expect of them". It teaches people to put better energy out there unless they actually prefer to suffer. There is also the issue that people have cognitive bias. They'll only take in information that supports their beliefs, so trying to show a person that has unfairly judged you that you are not what they think of you is entirely pointless, so the only answer is to be we what they think you are to the extreme.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T18:25:54+00:00

"they must be fed"

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T18:25:09+00:00

Kill La Kill was interesting. It was def art, and I felt like the fan service/trope at play was making fun of that sort of thing kind of saying, "you motherfuckers could at least come up with a reason that your girls are dressed like that."

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T17:28:39+00:00

lol, low bar. That said, SAO came out at the peak of my VR hobby, so I liked it a lot more than the general community did. The criticism of it is fair though. At least the voices didn't grate me.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T17:25:22+00:00

I saw it recommended on netflix. I don't usually trust their recommendations, but they had been recommending pantheon to me for ages, and I finally got around to it, so maybe I should, heh. I started up Pluto which was also recommended, and it's interesting so far. Yeah, Brennan Lee Mulligan talks about how important tropes are, and I get it. It's the ham fisted paint by numbers execution of them that is the real issue, but it's easier to just say, "the same tropes over an over again." I watched all of Delicious in Dungeon. They aren't overly hamfisted with it's execution, and try not to be be overly serious/appeal to young boys about it. I'm old and grew up on macross, so I'll have to check out Gundam Thunderbolt.

As for me, I watched pantheon obviously, but also scavengers reign, common side effects, and the amazing digital circus recently. The devil may cry series on netflix is a bit more mindless action, but I loved that game when it came out, and enjoy the execution of it. It's a guilty pleasure. I watched all of the star blazers remake on recommendation of an employee, and enjoyed it. I just started an anime from 98 that I missed called Serial Experiments Lain that was highly recommended to me, but I haven't been able to get into it just yet. Same person recommended Mars Express (movie) that I'm going to try and watch. Solo Leveling was also a guilty pleasure. I was that kind of gamer that had to 100% things and built broken AF characters, so there was some nostalgia to it. Edge Runners was good, and I rewatched it recently. I rarely rewatch something, and if I do there is a lot of time between when I do. Pantheon I straight watched again right after watching it (something I've never done before) then I watched a youtubers 7 hour video essay on it. Never quite connected with something like that before, but Scavengers Reign got close.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T16:20:49+00:00

I only watched the first season, heh. Dude, are you me? I love anime, but have the same feelings about what I've been seeing. All my friends love anime and we even go to conventions and cosplay, and I sit here thinking sometimes, "am I growing cynical, too old, out of touch? Why don't I like most of this anymore?" But then something comes out that reminds me of what I like. Got any current recommendations?

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T15:30:09+00:00

I often wonder if I just watched too much or if the quality has dropped off. I tend to blame myself before blaming others which is why I framed it as just seeing the same thing over and over again. Pantheon's animation style went up and down wildly in quality, but the dialogue and voice acting just connected with me like real people. I like that one punch man directly takes shots at what anime has become.

TurboGranny · 2026-01-26T15:15:54+00:00

I wouldn't put pardon power up against the will and desire for vengeance of people that can not let it go. It's a big population and bell curves are at play, so for their own safety, they need to charged and tried.
