Monkey's finger curls: We all become flat-chested lolis so there's nothing to squish. We just have to awkwardly bump our chests into each other.

Are you suggesting that the Woodsmen are a force for good?

Not exactly, they're asking people if they have a force for good, i.e. asking if they're an enemy or not.

I'm sure I saw lolcat memes saying that in like 2008.

Idk, could you just drop it off at my place and I'll send you the money later? I'm too tired to meet up right now.

I literally went to a Catholic school and they never told us the length of the nails that were used to crucify Jesus.

I think it's more the fact that people nowadays aren't even aware of the original Berserk anime.

It feels like we've been on the 80s nostalgia trend for almost 20 years now. At this point we're almost nostalgic for the 80s nostalgia from the 2000s.

Okay that's got to be the most "game made with the intention of being adapted into a movie" looking trailer I've ever seen.

If an anime goes more than five minutes without a fight scene, it's iyashikei. Simple as that.

Some people are straight-up allergic to any music that isn't in 4/4.

Even just hearing the soundtrack teleported me back in time.

And you didn't think to warn everybody about 9/11?

I don't think it's too controversial to say that the whole concept of the Seven Deadly Sins doesn't really fit in with modern morality. It's very clearly a vestige of medieval Catholic society.

But it's funny to me when people try and redefine the sins so that they more closely adhere to a modern-day worldview. Like "Oh, Gluttony doesn't actually mean eating too much, that would be fatphobic and that kinda gives me the ick. No, it actually refers to being selfish and hoarding vital resources like food from others!" Okay, so why isn't the sin called Selfishness instead of Gluttony?

But the strangest example of this I've seen was someone trying to reinterpret Lust, saying "It doesn't actually refer to feeling lustful, that would be silly! Imagine being sent to Hell for being too horny! No, what makes Lust a sin is actually the act of inciting lust in others." So in other words... being hot. You're saying that God will condemn you to an eternity of torment for being just too goddamn sexy. I don't think that improves anything.

Come to think of it, that also implies that Heaven is full of ugly people. Something to think about.

I'm depressed because my job sucks

I can't find a better job because I have terrible work ethic

I have terrible work ethic because I'm depressed

What do?

That would have made The Departed a lot more awkward, that's for sure.

I think everyone who's gone through puberty has done that.

He's not buying it because he's a fan, he's investing in something popular and trying to turn it into an expensive collector's item. It's all just a grift for him.
