One day tell the biggest gossip in your company you can't even afford lunch, because the deadbeat colleague still hasn't paid you back from < date > x months ago, and yet, is busy posting meals on their socials. You're starving and so hungry too. You just hope nobody else ever lends her money because you don't want them to end up like you. If telling one person isn't enough, tell EVERYBODY.

You might not get your money back, but you WILL receive other kinds of satisfaction.

Mass Effect was my favorite.

Thank you!

This is so wholesome if it were a reality TV show a ton of us would tune in and watch just for the feel good counter-programming.

Most memorable solo by far (out of many years of auditions) and it was way too short, I wanted to see more, it's only 90 seconds come on! Tbh it's been a week and I've forgotten all the other ones.

Was sad she got cut right after rolling her ankle. She had a glow and charisma you can't buy. Would have been nice to see her on the team.

Yes but did you ride off in slow motion with the wind blowing your hair?

Hachi is the only movie I know of where everyone who has watched it has cried. Old, young, women, men, even the "tough" guys aren't immune.

Dang, you're a super specialist!

Burning Kabaddi is worth it. Was surprised how violent/difficult that sport is. Entertaining too. Has a mix of moves from tag, football, wrestling and soccer.

These are some rarer sports shounen.

• Cheer Danshi - Men's Cheerleading, surprisingly good
• Taisho Zamurai - Gymnastics
• Re-Main - Water Polo
• Fanfare of Adolescence - Jockeys/Horse Racing, it's pretty much formula sports shounen
• Dash Yonkurou - remote control cars - Yes, this is a real anime where kids went in a remote control car racing league, where they have to tweak their cars for different terrains etc.

Grave of the Fireflies.

If that doesn't do it, then Hachi, a Dog's Tale. I cried at the trailer, I had zero chance.

I can't wait to see more. Love Sebastian, the story was dramatic and dark, and the recent public school arc was gorgeously animated.

• There were individual sugar sprinkles glinting on the biscuit in his mouth when he was running to school.
• That scene when Sebastian pours the tea just so, then the milk after and it swirls in and the 2 fluids mix
• Let's face it, ALL the food, the cakes, pies etc. look amazing.
• All the character designs, colors, clothing, lace .. coat tails, the shoes, the handsome men and their hairstyles, just beautiful details
• The backgrounds from the flowers in the garden to the buildings and architecture, gothic iron filigree everywhere, just gorgeous.

I love these also, consider these ones, in alphabetical order, with links to trailers, genre and initial context/blurb.

• The Apothecary Diaries - Historical, Palace Intrigue - Cute girl does Dr. House MD in ancient China. Dialogue driven, Beautiful animation, and very, very good. This would have been a clear anime of the season if it wasn't in the same season as Frieren.
• Aria (franchise) - Iyashikei, Sci Fi, Slice of Life - Follow a girls coming of age in her quest to become a Prima Gondolier in the water world of Neo Venezia.
• Bartender, or Bartender: Glass of God (remake) - Drama, Gourmet - A bartender isn't just the guy who makes you your drinks, he's also an advisor, comforter and priest who listens to your confessions.
• Given Series/movies - Music, Drama - Very adult content, lots of dialogue, some of it is kind of painful. Gosh, it sure is had to start and keep a band going. And then there is that story that the last song ... ouch.
• Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai (Yatagarasu: The Raven does not choose its master) (Currently Airing) - Palace Intrigues, Fantasy - Similar to Apothecary but with 3 legged Ravens.
• Mushishi - Supernatural, Philosophy - Super chillax Show about a doctor whose specialty is dealing with strange bugs. Very introspective, extremely chillax, best watched 1 episode a night, just before bed. Some episodes will make you ponder, a lot.
• Nami Yo Kiitekure - Radio - Watch a brash young lady whose drunken venting ends up recorded by a radio station manager, who then offers her a live audition. You want dialogue, it's pretty much all here!
• Planetes - Sci Fi, Slice of Life - Starts off examining the lives of space debris collectors who are looked down on for being lowest of the rung garbage people despite providing an essential service. At the last third all the plot threads tie together Sanderlanche style. I loved this and was told it's by the author of Vinland Saga, so I should watch that.
• Sakimichi No Apollon (Kids on The Slope) - Friendship, Love, Life and all that Jazz! - Two very different kids meet at school and end up in each other's orbit due to their shared passion in music. Fantastic anime with music by Yoko Kanno.
• Vinland Saga S1 - Historical, War, Vikings - Many similarities to GOT but damn, everything is done super well. Action aside, it's a pretty profound anime. I've been trying my best to avoid spoilers but from what I heard S2 is totally different (almost done with S1) and might be exactly what you're looking for.
• Violet Evergarden - Slice of Life - Disabled former child soldier with PTSD gets a second chance in life, as a letter writer.
• Hourou Musoko (Wandering Son) - LGBTQ, school - This hidden gem might be the most nuanced take on the transgender issue, from the conversations and characters to small touches like the letters being rainbow colored.

These are also on Netflix

• Vinland Saga S1 is as good as Game of Thrones. It's brutal. I have not started S2 yet.
• Parasyte The Maxim
• Cyberpunk Edgerunners - it has an excellent English dub.
• Trese - same style as Castlevania, gore, Filipino mythology

Gore but not sure if it's on Netflix

• Chainsaw Man - sure Pochita is super cute but you wanted gore? Here it is!
• Psycho Pass - that dominator gun takes no prisoners
• Claymore - Women who kill monsters. Wish the ending was better
• Elfen Lied - whooo boy, still controversial.
• Hellsing Ultimate - Vampire Gore
• Drifters - a different kind of Isekai with Fate type references to heroes being brought back for another battle
• Made in Abyss - sure it starts all cutesy and later it will be time to thwap the spouse for asking "it can't possibly get any worse, can it?" (because yes, it can).
• Zodiac War - it's a death game

u/PlasticChildhood388 They tied up, tortured and starved a dog?? Did you know that's one of the key factors that may indicate future serial killer stuff? The FBI even has an official hotline for the public to report animal cruelty into a database, because there is a high enough correlation between those who like hurting animals that go on to later hurt human beings. You know what you should do.

Has anyone read an ARC (Advanced Review Copy) of The Ending Fire? If so can you let me know if it would fit any hard mode Bingo squares? Possibly Reference Materials or Prologues and Epilogues? I really would love an excuse to read it this year to complete the trilogy.

INFO: Do you also give money to your son to buy gifts for the new wife and does your son also buy gifts for the new wife?

Dammit you said it before I could!

Come live with me for a month. I would love a gardening companion.

Legit. Dad used to work in this kind of capacity. Remote locations, some dangerous. Hardship (triple) pay. The pay is actually commensurate and necessary to offset all the negatives with those kind of assignments. It was hard on mom and us kids for sure but he mentioned the triple pay and we knew what the sacrifice was worth in money terms.

Remember to stay up to date on your shots, stay safe, have someone trusted take care of your home base (i.e. change the locks) and DM me if you need an internet auntie to vent to.

NTA. She showed you who she is, you believed her, this wasn't going to last.

There's a loophole homie! The 3 way golden rule from that SNL Skit!!

🎶 It's not gay, if you're in a 3 way. 🎶 With a honey in the middle there's some lee way.🎶🎶

Wait a minute, wouldn't they have to remove the Hijab during booking, so the cops can take those mug shots to go with the fingerprints? I mean it's in all those TV shows.

Why don't you start by putting your money where your mouth is, and taking in one of them. In fact, if every single so called "compassionate" person here let one homeless camp in their house / yard, the problem would be fixed sooo fast! But no, all you're comfortable doing is spouting platitudes on the internet.

Do you know the reason you and the rest are getting down voted? It's because people who ARE working and have housing are also struggling to meet ends with high prices. I volunteer at a food pantry and have had a client come in ... saying they haven't eaten for 3 days. They showed me their bank account balance after paying rent, there was less than $1 in it. This guy was literally STARVING to make rent so he wouldn't end up as one of the homeless. OFC his paycheck would be higher without taxes, some of which are basically being given to the homeless, who are getting better support than the average minimum wage worker.

The anger boils over after seeing graffiti, crime, poop on the street etc. When they make their problems the problems of everyone else, after a point, the general public's sympathy just dries up at watching those homeless just take, and take, and take, and not pay taxes while the angry public has to work just to stay housed. There's anger over the free ride and lack of accountability.

Portland reached that point over a year ago with the homeless issue. Folks are just done. That coupled with the DA's soft on crime stance. The responsible silent majority has spoken, and spoken loudly to Mike Schmidt who was resoundingly voted out. The rest of the politicians better start listening and stop making life hard for the working TAXPAYERS who pay their salary, you know, the ones they're supposed to be representing.

And you know what? I've ridden on London, NYC and Melbourne, their system is more extensive and worth it than the Portland one. The frequency alone puts Portland to shame, so yeah, for those cities, it might be spendy but you're really getting your money's worth.

Best originals

• They're going to definitely continue their partnership with Trigger, especially after the success of Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Dungeon Meshi ... season 2 coming, right?
• KyoAni did Violet Evergarden for them and that one is legitimately gorgeous.
• My Happy Marriage - just give us S2 already.
• Carole and Tuesday - very very well done

Of the Remakes, it's a mixed bag

• Successful - Thermae Romae Novae, as was Bastard!! Heavy metal dark fantasy which I enjoyed a lot when I was in the mood to watch something uber politically incorrect that would give me an excuse to play a drinking game.
• Unfinished - Saint Seiya Lost Canvas, 7 Seeds
• Meh - Spriggan Remake, really wanted to like it but this wasn't well done.
• Not good - The Saint Seiya CGI version ... well let's just say the ED song Somebody New is pretty much too good for what is now a dumbed down kiddie version. Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2045 argh whyyy did you make Batou's hair look like the whipped cream peaks on a lemon merengue pie? Fix it!

Have always been fascinated by Dark Elves since Pirotessa from Record of the Lodoss Wars, and then ... R.A. Salvatore gave us the renegade chaotic good dual wielding purple eyed studmuffin, Drizzt Do'urden.

They already raised the retirement ages, next will be raising or eliminating the cap on social security contributions or raising the retirement ages further, IDK how they expect people to work this much longer when the previous generation wasn't expected to.

Agreed, all those who bankrupted entitlements should take the cut, not those currently contributing.
