We’re not dust yet. There is no reason why our eventual death and non-existence should preclude us finding meaning in our present existence.

It matters to me

That there’s no objective purpose to life doesn’t mean you can’t find your own. Personally, I find purpose in enjoying my life and improving the lives of others. Doesn’t matter that there isn’t some grand design, I like what I’m doing.

If only those people who don’t already have a religious affiliation weren’t so closed-minded, they might be able to adhere to a specific religious affiliation. If only those vegans were able to grow as people, they might just learn a thing or two about being okay with animal torture

Matthew 5 and 6 are almost entirely a good guide on how to live, and the literal exact opposite of how conservatives live. Starting from 5:21-22, Jesus says murder bad (obviously), but so is getting angry at fellow disciples. So much as calling someone a “fool” puts you at risk of the fires of Hell. 5:27-30 says adultery bad (obviously) but so is simply being lustful. Jesus says if you can’t control your eyes, gouge em out. If you can’t control your hands, cut em off. Jesus says divorce is equivalent to adultery. 33-37 say not to swear oaths, which I don’t reay care about but I think it’s funny that every christian politician swears on a bible, which Jesus literally says not to do. 38-42 is interesting; Jesus says that not only is “an eye for an eye” wrong, but that if someone wrongs you, you shouldn’t retaliate at all. If someone asks for your shirt, you give them your coat as well. I like 5:42 the best:

Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

Matthew 5:43-48 says in absolutely no uncertain terms to love your enemies.

My best friend drove me to work the other day. We missed a turn and had to take a detour. Not two blocks after that missed turn, his girlfriend calls him asking where he’s going lmao

I would be willing to share locations because I worry about people and don’t want them to worry about me, but I’ll toss this phone in a Blendtec blender before I install an application that gives some creep in fuckin Dayton Ohio my and my girlfriend’s GPS coordinates 24/7. Tasker does the job well enough anyhow

:3B

Because it’s worth plugging up some privacy holes even if you can’t get all of them. Google already knows my name, address, and phone number, but that’s no reason to let 5th Edition Character Sheet learn it too. They already have gigabytes of personally identifiable data on me, doesn’t mean I’m cool with them bumping that up to terabytes

I cast a spell to make them titties just bounce

I speak in a language only wizards can pronounce

Gimme my spells, gimme my book, gimme my cauldron and something to cook

I’m a crazy ass wizard, I ain’t going to die, trust me on that, many have tried

Pics for the lazy

It’s on my watch list now, will probably make it onto this list next time the topic comes up

Nope, but it’s on my watch list now. Top two recommendations on MAL are Land of the Lustrous and From the New World? I’ll watch it as soon as I finish Kurau

Do you have any disagreements?

The first season leaned way too hard on the gore. The show is at its best when characters are having calm discussions imo

Yeah, they’re on the list but I understand it’s a long list

Loved em. Controversial opinion: I preferred '03 over Brotherhood. They made stronger narrative decisions, I prefer its Pride reveal over Brotherhood’s Wrath reveal (happening like 2/3rds into the show gave you a lot more time to build up trust in him before the reveal), and most of all I liked their homunculus origins better

It would be cool if there was a movie though. Could be cool, as long as they didn’t decide to ship Violet with her slaver and also completely erase any character development she had re: learning to give up the Major and live her life for herself. How awful would that be?

I watched Edgerunners a few weeks ago, and I was kinda surprised by how little Rebecca bothered me. Aside from her introduction, she isn’t sexualized any more than any other female character except Dorio, and her personality really clashes with her character design. Visually she looks young, but actually watching the show, she didn’t really read as child-coded to me

Maybe 95% of what gets popular. 57 out of the 70 animes that I’ve watched would fit on the piece if paper in this meme

Depending on how little violence you want, here’s a few. I’ll put a star on ones that had absolutely no violence (to my recollection)

Steins;Gate (I don’t recall much gore, although some characters do die)

Vivy: Fluorite Eyes Song

Hyouka ⭐

Belle

A Silent Voice (no gore, but references to suicide)

ACCA: 13 Territory Inspection Dept. (one character gets shot at one point and ends up in the hospital. It’s not violent so much as dramatic)

Mushishi ⭐

Your Lie In April (no gore, but there is death)

Nichijou (horrific violence)

Sk8 the Infinity ⭐

Bocchi the Rock ⭐

Haibane Renmei (some violence in the first episode, but super worth watching)

Planetes (very little violence)

Noir (buncha people die, but there’s never any blood)

Niea_7

Serial Experiments Lain

Megalo Box (it’s a show about people punching each other, so as violent as you’d expect from that)

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (very little violence)

Kyousougiga

Sonny Boy (very little violence)

Kiki’s Delivery Service ⭐

So don’t watch popular animes. Just because most weebs are pedos and watch shows that cater to them doesn’t mean most shows cater to them
