It's important to not fight on an empty stomach. A distracted mind can lose the battle. You can easily store some banana bread in a pocket, to consume later. I earnestly hope you'll be careful of that, Mashymre.

In the thick of thanksgiving food prep, I suddenly realize that I am cosplaying as the bear from the tv series of the same name. Just gotta drop 40 or 50 lbs, start smoking, age back like 18 years, and have a totally differently shaped face to really nail the look!

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

We all go through that phase. I certainly did. As long as it leads you back to supporting what you love, it’s worth it IMHO
I also pirated a lot of shit when I was broke that now sits on my shelf now that I'm no longer broke. If Limewire never existed I would have never been hooting and hollering at the discotek panel when y'all announced Kite lol.

Trying out a new thing where I do thanksgiving prep on the night before. I have butchered the bird, letting the breasts, wings, and quarters rest in the fridge overnight. Carcass is turning into stock for gravy. I will do glazed carrots soon, and set up the dough for the rolls.

I am in this picture, and I approve 100%. piracy is part of a healthy visual media ecosystem, it just shouldn't be the main/only thing. I got tons of ISOs and rips of various old shit, just _even more_ DVD/BD.

I believe that anime fansubs of old shows never released in English as well as manga scanlations of titles never licensed/dropped prior to completion in English are Good, Actually. That’s the way I find out those things even exist at all, such that if a legal version does come out, I will pay for it
Friends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

As I keep saying about folks trying to defend supporting JK Rowling through Harry Potter: "Fucking Skill Issue."
So many of us in the anime and manga fandom dropped Rurouni Kenshin like it was hot garbage when it came out that the creator was a pedophile, and that was 100% formative for many of us.

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.
