Been reading mangas for the first time in a loooooonnng time. Delicious in Dungeon is a good Manga. Ryoko Kui is a master of art, storytelling, and humour. You should read it. Yes, I've noticed it seems to be the flavour of the month. :V (Honestly, the graphic style does look very friendly, so I've...

also if you're reading manga again there has never been a better time to start reading one piece, do it, do it, do it. You're really going to have to hard sell me on that one, because I recall reading it for a while when it first came out (maybe, 1/20th of where it is now?) and IMO it was pretty st...

Been reading mangas for the first time in a loooooonnng time. Goddamn, why didn't anyone tell me that Spy X Family was adorable and heartwarming enough to cause grave physical distress. Holy shit I am so here for that. Doesn't hurt that Endo's plotting is impressively meticulous and his ability to t...

You know, IMO, it's really pretty impressive that we can think back on that time and still think "what a godawful media circus shitshow of shame" and have that still be valid in The Year of Our Internet, Twenty-Twenty-Four.

He might have been missed if he'd chosen differently. But he won't be.

But it's the MAGA weirdos I read about in the news- your Steven Crowders, Stephen Millers, Andrew Tates, etc.- that really fry my CPU trying to figure them out. We're so very close in age, but they're so much more fucked up. I've said it before, but how did we grow up in the same generational span ...

No worries, Huitzilopochtli's gonna have Dougie fried to a crisp if he ever appears in direct sunlight.

I want to see more.

I most certainly did not panic, thinking our god had forsaken us and that the only path left was the path of blood, that's for sure https://preview.redd.it/we-cant-expect-god-to-do-all-the-work-v0-z1jtuyi7mgnb1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=6da7d8f07a874796db8c00348675f29b5c543d21

Well the sun went away here, but we sacrificed a random guy on the street to Huitzilopochtli and the sun returned to us.

I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do, right? I mean, it worked, obviously.

*doomguy grunting intensifies*

Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that.

I edited my post too, also for clarity. Like, religion is just a byproduct in my view. It's easy to think that getting rid of it will improve things, but I'm not sure of that and I'd rather go with something easier to achieve. EDIT: You might not be advocating for abolition of religion, in which cas...

I wasn't making a comment on religion itself, it was a comment about individual proclivities in interacting with religion. Those folks who would do good would almost certainly do good without their particular religion, they just find faith in something to be strengthening. Just as most awful people ...

I do know a couple deeply religious people who are in fact very cool and extremely upstanding people. But just a couple; they're damn rare, that's for sure. Two of the major ways you can take religion are as a top-level challenge to do good works, or as a crutch to shut your brain off and save yours...

(There are some exceptions to the above in Canada, mainly in allowing a modest amount of savings, one vehicle, and one residence even if you own it, though this varies by province, but it's still broadly true)

Oh no D: Guy Caballero. Count Floyd. Sammy Maudlin. The "Jackass!" guy from Happy Gilmore. Flaherty already lives rent free in my head forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekqiSUjNURo To top it off, just yesterday I saw a billboard with Flaherty's fellow SCTV alum Eugene Levy and his s...
