Thanks for clarifications, guys. As I've never been to New York I don't have personal experience about the system there and I overreacted. I'd just read about frankly infantilizing Yes means Yes legislation passing in Connecticut * and the headline of article Squig posted made me assume ...

Xard, these rules aren't new. It's a rule of thumb: when you're on public transportation, you don't take up more than one seat. It's a dick move and it inconveniences people who might actually want that seat. To hear you talk, it sounds as if somebody taking up two seats doesn&#...

Alternatively, it's because it's written in the MTA code that you can't take up more than one seat! Simple, innit? Also, for what it's worth, that post sounds like... hmm, let me find the quote... Probably irrelevant since, uhh, "man-spread shamers" have been having countl...

Seriously? This is a crime now? This is Obama's America. Pretty much yeah. Nothing surprising here for anyone who has closely followed the utter lunacy about safe spaces, fake rape epidemics, Yes means Yes campaigning that has about as nuanced understanding of human sexual relations as guy with...

Hey Donut dug that up not me! The youtube link was at the imgur gallery he linked.

I have this feeling, and I expect this to be reasonably uncontroversial, that the Golden Age of Anime is 14* (exceptions for those who weren't into the form at that age). *Also true for science fiction and rock'n'roll. Quite so. I'm just very happy I lucked out and ended up ...

In addition to Eva, Utena, and Bebop, there were also Please save my earth, Pet shop of Horrors, Escaflowne, Basara, Key the Metal Idol, Yami no Matsuei, Ranma 1/2 and even Getbackers (yes, well-done shounen comedy series can have good character writing too). I've seen almost all of tho...

And yes, I'm aware that I know way too much about 80's Euro Pop, but we all have our guilty pleasures. It's the most delicious slice of cheese. As fara s cheese goes 80's Euro Pop isn't that righteously guilty inducing cheese. Now if you said you were obsessed with 90s Eurodance...

Don't know if this is controversial or not, but I find that 90s anime - I'm talking about the ones commonly rated as being good - tend to have superior character writing when compared to even the best of what we have today. That's like what, Eva, Utena and maybe Bebop? That's far to...

The contrast between Astley's booming voice and his build is what has always amused me the most about Rickrolling. Song is pretty tasty slice of cheese for sure and that voice is rather impressive. Thank you based USA. There is that sweet satisfaction seeing corrupt FIFA assholes getting dragged...

Does this mean Xard can be normal now? And normal being relative to his prior self in relation to his status, not relative to others I have no idea what you're trying to say, especially with the part that was originally in tiny font size. So I can't really answer. :chinscratch: Much as I li...

This isn't a big deal. I'm way too busy with work, studies and reading actually worthwhile stuff to have much time for internet. These days I have had almost zero presence on Skype for months and doing any actual moderation here has been out of question for as long time at least. More import...

That's incredibly sad news. :( RIP Nash, I hope you have it well in the great hereafter. So, who here thinks they'll be decapitated in a plane crash or die of smallpox or get shot in the face or drown while trapped in a sinking car or eaten by a bear in your own backyard??? I kind of ass...

Well I finished Night on the Galactic Railroad . I enjoyed the style, and the extended farewell aspect of the journey; but in the end the religious content spoiled it for me. The film as a whole came over as proselytising, which I don't want; and as Mr. Tines hinted, the religious viewpoint is ...

Savages are savages and pythons are tasty though. I guess. I haven't eaten any pythons - or a savage...

It's real enough . Anon summary is quite accurate: In interview to russian state news agency, Anno told that anime is dieing and in less than 20 years might disappear completely. http://ria.ru/interview/20150522/1065883205.html He says decline and death is inevitable, the "death" migh...

This is 100% on point. Especially the waifu joke.

This triggers me. You shouldn't post videos like this on a #waifu safe zone board.

Yeah, I'm probably fading away again untill I have something I want to share really strongly, like Anno Godzilla info or election results that may throw spanners in the wheels of EU. (for Skype contacts, I'll probably begin communicating with you again regularly sooner. For those I'v...
