Don't turtles have like really exceptional memories anyway? Edit: So Kawaii!!!

I think that's because we have enough selfish people in reality, and we long for the more selfless people to be in real life, but that never seems to happen, therefore, we find these heroes within fiction.

Isn't that how myths are created anyway? A character in a story achieves greatness after better greatness after yet more bestest greatest... they become gods and goddesses, forever living in immortality...until the culture changes and shifts to something else, and those deities are forgotten...

I really don't mind when the coincidence feels natural, but you can tell when it's forced, I hate, no, despise that. I mean, we're already suspending reality just watching anime, and some exaggeration is expected, if not demanded. There's really no reason to force an exaggeration though...

Not in a dating sense, but whenever I see somebody with pink, teal, cyan, or lime green hair, I know they're my kind of people!

The shouting of attacks is one of the many points of exaggeration that defines anime as what it is. And personally, I don't think I could enjoy Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha nearly as much if Nanoha didn't scream Starlight BREAKER! before detonating the equivalent of an ICBM at her foe. There's...

Do you really wanna know about lobster...?

Amazing how a SPAM message got so popular! (And tasty!!) BTW, this isn't like Eat The Rich, is it?

The Prodigal Tortoise returns! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

What classifies an anime to be considered a hidden gem? I feel that a story or character will touch an individual's heart differently from the next person.

Anime that excites me, I'll live and breath it. You'll get sick and tired of hearing about Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha coming from my lips all the time! LOL I did the same thing with Ah! My Goddess and Tenchi Universe.

I want hi-tech, magic, and an evolved society. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's please!

First day of vacation! Nine glorious days all to myself. Lots of writing planned! I've gotta get my new role playing forum set up, and I'm excited to get into character! I can almost taste it! Today, I'm going to complete the Guidebook -- an exhaustive article detailing everything a new...

My body is going to force me to. I'm taking over 2,400 mg of Ibuprofen every day, have for months now, just so I can tolerate the pain in my feet. I have to stand all day. I'm not forward to that day when my internals decide they've had enough abuse and call it quits on me. Money. Yeah...

You really should check out some more titles within the genre. Nanoha has a lot more combat and action in it while still being magically cute. And of course, there's the deeper themes that strike darker areas of life. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Totally get that. This is one reason...

How come I have a feeling the Evangeloin debacle will show up here?

I don't think I have a favorite, just as long as I get my products in a reasonable time and it doesn't cost my first born child to deliver it.

I would love to go visit one, and I don't really care for amusement parks. But at least I could say I've had the experience!

It's a bit hard to read, and I don't want to fade the background image like I did with my other banner, that just looks washed out and worn out, exhausted. I want this forum to be an exciting place, full of vibrant energy, and I need bold colors to achieve that aspect. If I knew what I was...

Probably the only thing that will save me will be getting a different job, and right now with the way the job market is, it's not looking too positive.

My job offers medical insurance at over $200 a month. I can't afford the payment I'm making now. So, not really. And I make just a smidgen too much to be covered by Medicaid, (assuming that doesn't get gutted soon).

Wordplay: The behavior of dressing up dialog in the form of humorous puns, or the use of substituting less accurate words for a more clear meaning to a foreign culture. I enjoy it, as it helps to add colorful metaphor, that helps me to understand why something may be as grave situation as is...

I don't mind hospitals. Yes I have trauma related to loved ones dying in hospitals, but that's not what stops me from obtaining medical services. I simply can not afford them. Currently, my medical insurance has lapsed because I couldn't afford the $38 monthly payment this month, so no...

As much as it would give authenticity to the characters, using children to voice the characters introduces a number of problems, many of which are the reason why it's not done. Labor laws are a thing (at least for the time being). And studios want to save as much money as possible during...

Thank you! I made this yesterday, which I'm pretty proud of, despite not having a very good Graphics Manipulation skill set. It could be a lot better.

I did for a while, but it was nothing fancy, just a simple spiral bound notebook. Today, I have two diaries, I guess you could call them. The first is a diary app on my phone called Journal It!, where I keep my private thoughts. Okay, three diaries, I just noticed the other app called...

I don't think this is going to happen any time soon. Besides, AI can't improvise on the fly, and as it's been mentioned above, AI simply does not have the emotional experiences to pour into a character, which results in a flat character.

Hayate from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's. She was wheelchair bound when she was introduced, and became a major power-player later in StrikerS.

I don't really care for swimming anymore. I used to as a kid, but now as I'm older, I don't care for it. I'd rather just sunbathe.

I know that my hobby of forum administration is increasing from about $150 / year to like $300 / year. But, I'm going to end up with an awesome, clean, sleek, and attractive site. I've already found a possible theme producer, PixelEdit, I think, makes really nice looking themes. I've got a...

Yes, kind of like that. You'd create a fictional character, either based on one you've seen on TV, in a movie, or in a book, OR you'd create a persona out of your imagination, or maybe a repressed personality quirk that you find fascinating.. Essentially, on a forum, any role play [game] just...

I'm going to restart my forum. I've been attempting to run a generalized anime and role playing forum for five years now, and recently, it's been completely dead. Plus there ancient posts from when I attempted to merge my first forum into it from archive.org. It's a mess, it's ugly, and it's...

I actually found the full length version on the PM site.

Not really. My co-workers are there just to work and get home. Keep in mind that I work in a retail/warehouse environment, so there's not much time for chit-chat. I'm also one of the very, very few there who does not speak Spanish, so I'm kind of an outcast anyway.

I've already got a hosting service that I'm paying an annual fee for. I looked at the license extensions, $60 more per year isn't that bad. It's just the initial cost that's prohibitive.

It's a table top role playing game that was released in 2024, and features a Japanese role playing game (video game) feel-- from everything I've read about it. I haven't had much of a peak at it myself just yet.

I don't understand what the whole thing with the Fediverse is all about.

I don't have any friends that are anime nerds to even have this debate with! LOL

YES! That's it. <3

I'm not surprised at being surprised by, like, everything going on in the world in 2025! Absolute craziness!

I do this all the time whenever I write fan fiction! LOL In fact, I think this is probably the reason why most fan fiction writers who write crossovers do so. Imagine the possibilities! That, or we're just really weird and tend to be sadistic toward fictional characters! There's obviously...

I was thinking that, as I noticed they were modified by moderator, and thought, why not have some constructive fun with them?

From the little I know, Japanese has quite a few Homophones.

um... no comment.

Hmmm..... Have you been to prison? Probably not. Then no, you haven't failed as a human. Even ex-convicts don't truly fail. They get back up and try again.

I've recently been introduced to the JCINK forums. I never would have thought to make an entire forum to serve for a role playing game. I guess it could have some longevity, but would probably ultimately die out as the story concludes.

I have a question. Was there much success in conversions from Facebook to the forum? In my experience, most Facebook people tend to just stay over on Facebook, unfortunately.

Actually, cubing up some SPAM and frying it with some green beans, and potatoes (no need to add any salt!) isn't too bad for a quick poor person's meal. And at least this kind of SPAM is edible!

I'm not sure if this is the correct placement for this, but it does deal with the anime, so... I began watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st this morning, and had a major emotional wave come over me as I rode the bus to work when Nanoha transformed for the first time. I've been...

I will say this, although it was fun chatting with people from all over the world, you really had to double check everything you accessed. There be porn everywhere, matey! That's how we used to get our music for free too. Multipart attachments of .WAV files. LMAO! Then you'd have to string...

That's the other reason why I'm considering moving. SMF hasn't seen a major update in a long time. There's one coming down the pipe soon, but it could realistically be years before we see it, and it won't change the appearance of the software either. The last time SMF was released was back in...

That is something to consider. However, looking at my current site, I don't think I really need any of the fancy stuff. The new site is going to be a simple text based role play forum. I'll want a dice roller, sub-accounts, and maybe a wiki plug in, maybe. I've still got quite a bit of time...

The XenForo license is only a one time purchase, right? Unless of course, you need additional support after that first year. My hosting and domain is already paid for the year. Is cost the only reason you regret making the transition?

Today, has been a day of heavy research. And what sparked it was reading a post somewhere about how a forum's look could deter new memberships, specifically, an obsolete, old looking skin gives the impression that a site is not being properly maintained. Despite my efforts of finding themes...

I already have a tattoo of Skuld, but I want one for Fate as well. Those two are definite! I'm also thinking of a chibi phoenix and possibly a rainbow kitsune.

So, I just picked up this role playing game. It appears to be in a relatively new category for table top gaming: The JRPG simulation. Reviewers on the game state "like Final Fantasy or other console role playing games". I believe I have an addition. LOL Have you heard of this game, played...

When I first stumbled into anime, decades ago, I probably had a crush on Princess Ayeka from Tenchi Universe, but that's only because she was the known underdog within the community of fans. I do have a favorite character, and characters that have a place within my heart, because I share some...

Never! Anime is a core aspect of my personality and life. I have a tattoo of one anime character, have plans on getting additional tattoos, and I'm nearly 50! But then again, I am a magical girl, so, there is that.

I agree. I didn't make it though the first ... five minutes of ... I think it was Elfen Lied, It's been a really long time ago. I just couldn't get into that, fiction or not, it's not my cup of tea.

Just do what I did. I went in a Facebook group and clearly stated I was looking for a friend only. I ended up meeting my fiancee.

Thank you. ... I'm so angry, I'm beside myself. The dentist didn't even have an appointment scheduled to look at my problem teeth, let alone fix them. But based on the X-rays they took last week, It'll cost me $2000 to fix one tooth. I have two problem teeth. Half of which is due upon the...

Yeah, forum role playing is difficult. There's usually a ton of excitement upon beginning a new game, creating the characters, and then life always gets in the way, distracting everybody with little todo's here and there. Then the game dies, and a new one gets started. I think the secret...

I used to buy the Ramen in bulk, and would usually eat two bricks with one or even only half of a flavoring packet--way too salty! I have found that my stash of flavoring packets has come in handy for other cooking though. But I'd prefer to whip up my own flavoring. After having watched...

Awesome loot! I know it's early yet, but my day today involves an adventure at the Dreaded Dentist's office. I need to have an extraction (or two), yet I'm scheduled for a cleaning??? This is going to be painful, and I'm not looking forward to it. Both for me and my non-existent wallet.

Ah! The era of 80s music. Some of my favorite songs are from this time period. Back when there was noticeable rhythm, and melodies sung! Just seems to me that a lot of contemporary music lacks melody... and creativity for that mater. Like I've heard several songs that just seem to repeat...

But would that anime character coming into our realm of reality truly yield to a better life experience? As much as I would adore some of my favorite characters to visit me one day, I know that they are... much safer in their realities, despite all the chaos and suffering they endure. To be...

I enjoy seeing the flashbacks presented in a story. They help to answer the why questions, and help to gain a better understanding of a character or situation.

I'll watch both as well (classic and remake). I enjoy anime for it's art, and I don't mind hearing the same story told from a different angle. After all, anything that has been created is simply the retelling of the same story from a slightly different perspective. And while I don't...

I would want my partner to have her own mind, own opinions, and make her own darn destiny! Not to mention some interesting stories later on.

After I got on RedNote, I was watching Chinese people make fresh noodles from scratch! I can't wait to try doing that, but I think I need the right kind of flour and a larger work space. My kitchen is really small and cluttered.

Oh geez! Um... 1995? Like August? I had just gotten out of Basic training and technical school training. The Internet was kinda new back then. We'd use Netscape and Lycos, Yahoo, and, I think there was another search engine before Google, but I don't remember it. All the web pages were...

Oh, I will. Again in July, for a different creditor. But at least I won't need to freak out about it, unless my pay significantly increases between now and then. And with the way the economy is behaving, I really doubt it.

J-POP, obviously! hehehe. 80s pop/rock, classic rock. Usually anything with a good beat tends to help my creativity. Even disco (depending on the story I'm working on). If I'm working on a tense romantic comedy scene, then some slow ballad, like Neil Diamond, works too. Oh, also BabyMetal...

All my family has moved on to ... other realms. I believe family is who you make, rather than based on DNA anyway.

Yuppers! I like to add garlic onion powder, mushroom, sometimes sage (yeah, I'm weird)...

Napping. Flight/Space Simulators. Solitaire. Writing Fiction. Doom Scrolling. Reading a random book. Better yet, reading a random manga! Daydreaming. Anything but work...

Neon Genesis Evangelion is still on my wanting-to-watch-this-someday-when-I-have-the-time list. I think I managed to watch about three or four episodes, before some life drama happened, and I forgot about it. I do love the OP song, Cruel Angels Thesis though. But to answer @DarkAngel , I'm...

I must of glanced over this, because this is one of my all-time favorites! I thought about using this song as an intro song to a game I was making once upon a time. LOL My favorite Ranma 1/2 song was the OP from season 6, Red Shoe Sunday. Although, I also like the OP from either season 1 or...

You want a partner willing to go 100%/100% in the relationship. That's not that much to expect at all, in fact, it's what most people would consider to be fair. However, finding that special someone is the tricky part. There are SO many people who are just ... I hate to say it, lazy.

I don't watch anime while doing chores, however, I do pop on some awesome beat J-POP tunes and be-bop while doing those chores! Happy Material is one of my favorites!

I've only got a 89 degree mountain to climb! No big deal!!! *giggles* If only I didn't have to work full time to provide for shelter, food, and electricity... ah well.

A role playing forum is a forum specifically dedicated to the act of writing a multi-authored story, usually like a fan fiction. Sometimes there are special modifications added, like dice rollers and map viewers and other thing. Those are what I've seen recently. Then there's your typical...

Ah! You're thinking of Kasumi! Yeah, she's a sweetheart! Bonus, she cooks well too!

You ... really.... want one of those crazy anime girls? Are you sure? I mean, there's always lovely girls like Akane from Ranma 1/2. Word of advice: Don't try her cooking.

I think having a forever-set-in-stone posts would be a huge deterrent. However, as the old rule states: That which has been placed upon the internet stays on the internet forever! (And, most people forget about that.)

I didn't realize there were so many anime about zombies! Yeah, I've got nothin'...

A couple years ago, when I was learning Unreal Engine, I wanted to start making animated versions of my fan fictions. I may eventually get around to doing that. ... After I write the darn story, and then master 3D character rigging.

Oh geez! There are so many anime that I just absolutely sob at. Let's see if I can remember some of the more recent ones... Excel Saga near the end, final episode, I think? Negima! (First season), episode 22? I think? ... That's all I got right now. It's been a long day.

I've never had any interest in gambling, beyond maybe Bingo, and that was with my grandmother, when I was a child.

Apparently, there's a bug going around, because my roommate got hit by the lack-of-energy-bug today.

I... don't think it works that way! My luck would be: Kiss a girl, get punched in the face and knocked out before the slap has a chance to occur.

This could be why I don't watch hentai. Although, I will say that some magical girl shows, I can feel a bit awkward during the transformation scenes, especially in when viewed in public.

I be held onto my care for Fate Testarossa since about 2011 when I first watched Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. Even for Skuld, before Fate, still has a place in my heart. In fact, thinking about it, so does Ayeka from Tenchi Universe/Muyo!. Although, I would say that care has faded a little...

"Let's do our best!"

I know that forum based role playing is in a state of serious decline, especially over the past few years (okay, decade), but I had recently found a glimmer of hope. I had never heard of role playing directories before. These are websites that are specifically designed to advertise for role...

I should mention SubStack. I do get on that nearly everyday, but it's not your typical Social Media, I guess it qualifies with their Notes feature, and now Video posting feature.

This is one reason why I feel fan fiction is so popular. It fills that void that is often felt by anime characters who never quite get to that love stage for one reason or another.

Oh, and OVA's sometimes have the best OP/ED music. Like Oh! My Goddess had My Heart Your Heart and Congratulations!, as theme songs. So catchy. I think I had practically all of the Goddess Family Club's music at one point years ago.

Yes, I've watched a majority of Sailor Moon. Some of the episodes were definitely tear jerkers! Someday, I plan on reading the manga, as I've heard it's more explicit than the Americanized anime ever was.

The recipe I used was crap. I forgot there are typically eggs in cookies (I always get pancake batter confused with cookie dough) So, the cookies cam out like lead bricks. Still very chocolatey, but just very dense. I'll have to try again tonight maybe. (I stayed home from work today...

Tonight, I'm baking some kind of cookies. Helpful hint I heard that I'll probably try next week: Use Cream of Tartar to create those soft chewy cookies you find in the store. I'll experiment (and hopefully not die) to find the correct amount for the tribe

That is Fate Testarossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (I think that specific picture is a fan-made contribution, but I'm not entirely sure). I do remember I found that image on Zerochan and cropped it, because she was especially cute in it.

I don't care for Instagram, and I've never used SnapChat. I'm not much into video/pics. Text is my calling.

The OVA's have LOTS of great substance, and I think most people underrate them. Like I just got done watching Magical Project S and Magical Girl Pretty Sammy. MGPS only has three episodes, at like 45 minutes each), but there's a TON of great content in there about the characters unique to that...

I prefer the actual series. Movies can be a breath of fresh air, something different, or a recap, but they just can't fill the same shoes as a series can. Too many small details get either glossed over, or ignored.

I've pretty much abandoned Facebook because of the constant barrage of advertisements. Twitter got the boot because of the relentless political trash talk constantly invading my tiny feed. Reddit, I have a hot/cold relationship with. I've been short-term banned a couple of times but I keep...

I prefer a good story, to the point that I'll endure bad animation or dialog, so long as the story is captivating. Bonus points for a totally unhinged world setting though!

Thank you everybody for your thoughts, prayers, and concerns! <3

Both VRoid Studio and Unreal Engine are totally free to use. There's tons of YouTube tutorials, and forum tutorials (at least for Unreal Engine).

So, what I do is combine into one bowl: 1.5 cups of flour 1 tsp baking soda 4 TBsp of sugar (sometimes I add 1 cup of chocolate chips) In another bowl beat together: 1 or 2 big bananas (mashed with a fork) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 egg (beaten) 1 stick of butter (melted on the stove (sometimes...

Has anybody played with this software that allows you to create your own anime characters in the 3D? You totally customize them, pose them, and export them. I've made a few characters and have imported them into Unreal Engine. Let me see if I can find some screenshots... Here's one inside...

What is the definition of an unpopular anime? Because I typically don't watch the mainstream / pushed-in-your-face anime that the big streamers promote. I like finding the obscure titles -- titles that are recommended by other fans, and for me, those titles become popular, but to me. But then...

I like love triangles, the more complex the more chaos, the better! But then again, I'm totally a character sadist! LOL (And I'm usually cheering for the underdog character to win, even though I know 99.999999999% she/he won't.)

I think Negi Springfield from Negima! Magister Negi Magi would qualify as a people pleaser. Although he is the teacher of class 2-A, he doesn't seem to want to ruffle any feathers. Thinking about this specific anime, there are quite a few students who would qualify as a people pleaser. Nodoka...

Yup. Spoilers don't bother me, and especially because somebody telling me something, still isn't showing me something, and certainly doesn't allow me to feel something. That's why I watch anime anyway, for the emotional connection to the characters. And that's probably why I don't understand...

I'm glad I found the hobby of game creation, rather than merely game stimulation. Worst case scenario, I can always fall back to my free hobbies of creative writing with a old fashioned pen and paper.

All I can say is, if you're a United States citizen, say farewell to your Right to Privacy and your Right to Free Speech (and Expression). I mean, they've been under attack for decades now, but I feel this is a final nail in the digital coffin. This could quickly spread to other states --...

I have somewhat decent insurance. Up to $1000 of care annually. They pay 80%. That's wonderful, I can get the tooth extractions that I need, however, there are two problems: I don't have the 20% I'll need to cover the part of payment out of my own pocket. I can barely afford food...

I could really use some good! I'd settle for the foot pain and tooth pain to vanish so I can stop taking massive dosages of Ibuprofen every day for months!

Why not put a shoujo spin on it? That gives me an idea for a story to write! A zombie apocalypse unlike any other, and the world is doomed: By love! Instead of the zombies infecting you with a random bite, it's a kiss, literally a kiss of death maybe? But what happens after everybody in...

One reason that I connect with Fate Testarossa on such a deep level (and why I choose her as a primary protagonist in much of what I write fan-fiction wise), is because of the trauma that her and I lived through as children. Now, while I was never hit by an electrified magical whip, I did...

Although, one could argue, this depends upon your definition of dangerous. If you're talking battle-torn war zone, then yes, perhaps just about any shounen world, although, I'm not really a particular fan of the shounen realm. I would consider a world like Ranma 1/2 to be pretty dangerous...

If you want, I can teach you my process for making banana bread. It practically makes itself!

Some homemade chocolate chip nutella banana bread will have to suffice!

You must have done something, because even the Court laughed. The only time in my life where it's a good thing to be dirt poor! I'm exempt because I have a gross income of less than $750 per week! Which ever god/goddess/universal construct you prayed to, I need to give an offering for!

I'm really not looking forward to today. Not only am I loosing hours away from work, that could impact my ability to pay my rent next month, but I'm possibly receiving a judgment for a wage garnishment because I couldn't afford to pay a credit card after I was kicked out of my formerly rented...

I read something similar in MegaTokyo years ago. Piro (Fred Gallagher) would read manga to help him through life's little dilemmas. There's quite a bit of sagely advice in the form of Anime/Manga, and I believe many people underrate it, because "oh, it's just comic books or cartoons". Just...

I think I subconsciously enjoy to watch the female's point of view. Especially if the anime/manga was created by a man, I want to see if he got it right, or at least was somewhat accurate.

I'm a bit confused on this question. If you're watching your favorite anime, then wouldn't you be considered within the target audience anyway? What is it about the anime that you define it as your favorite? For me, as an example, I'm a 49 year old woman. My favorite anime is Magical Girl...

I've found recently, that yes, it seems that every anime I watch stirs up the tears. Stuff I've watched tons of times before, I'm crying at, I know what's going to happen. Maybe I've forgotten some parts, but regardless, I still know what's coming, and I break down into sobs. Maybe I just...

No. It was not an ED song, it was an insert song used as background noise during a particularly dramatic scene.

I like the crazy hair styles. It helps to differentiate the characters. I mean, after all, the basic frame and head shape of an anime character is mostly the same, and each anime character needs to stand out, to be memorable. As an example, I think of Washu from Tenchi Muyo!. Her wild...

I like the variety, but I also like the quick memorable identification that comes with wearing something familiar. This is one reason why I like magical girls so much. And when writing fan fiction, I can skimp on the detailed description of the outfit for those iconic, memorable looks, and get...

On something that is well out of my price range, a new laptop, a new computer, a new phone, especially if I'm paying for it out of pocket with hard-saved-cash, I'll get the protection plan, and the ridiculously over-engineered protective case that can withstand a nuclear detonation at ground...

There's advertisements on this site? I have yet to see any? But then again, I'm using my desktop with Firefox.

I don't google based on the anime, however, whenever I read manga, I'll always read the end notes in the back of the book!

I've got one friend, from my high school years, way back in the day, who insists on using Facebook Facetime, or whatever their video calling software is. It's annoying, because I really don't like using video.

It sucks that I was at work all day and missed whatever the original message was. I'm sure it was golden! LOL Thank you @mods for taking out the ....(need I say it?)

There's actual anime based wallpaper???

Totally agree with this. Hmm, be stuck in the mundane world, working like a slave, paying bills, dealing with drama, or being in a new world with adventure, magic, and I'm a hero? Yup, totally staying here.

Shelter should be inexpensive too! I wouldn't have to file for bankruptcy protection if rent was reasonable! Speaking of which, if you're in the USA and have Student Loans, watch out! Wage garnishments can happen now. I'm waiting to hear back from a lawyer to see if I'll be protected...

Thank you! Although, I'm at a loss as to what this does?

He did say something offensive, and I noticed he hasn't been back.

I wish I could go to another country. But I can't. I don't have a passport. I don't have the funds to travel. I don't have the permission (it's complicated). Assuming I could get to another country, I'd be really tempted to just stay there! LOL

Go to the freakin' dentist! A couple days ago, I had a minor toothache. This morning, it exploded in pain as I tried to eat some Cream of Wheat. So I scheduled an appointment, after figuring out who takes my dental insurance. Not bad, I found a place 1/2 mile away, and it's a nice day, so I...

I haven't watched any of the three you mentioned, @DarkAngel

I think this new member may just be a spammer? Two identical topics in two different boards. Might be a bot?

Considering my favorite anime, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is an original work. There was some manga created for an alternate reality later. But I like to read the books that movies are based on, so I'd read the manga that anime is based on...eventually.

I bought some Miso Paste from my local Asian market a while back and while I was cleaning out my refrigerator, I found it again. It's still sealed, never been opened, but it has a best buy date of August 29, 2024. Do you think it's still usable/edible? And does Miso Paste need to be...

When the producers of Excel Saga (English crew) forced the original VA of Excel to retire because they refused to allow her to rest her voice, I was super upset and completely lost interest in the series. It's taken me over a decade to come back to the series and watch it. Now that I'm a bit...

Hmmm.... I know better than to waste my time or energy with this post, but..... As a woman. To answer your question, this is exactly why. I'll describe this using vocabulary that even a child can understand. You're mean. You not only hate women, you're probably jealous, and that fills you...

Most of the music has a "do-wop-do-daah" feel to it, but this particular song feels techno or DBM (or whatever it's called.. Dance Beats Music??), and as I mentioned, it's a background music track, playing during a rather dramatic, action packed scene that just feels power...full
