Like for real. The plot of Spirited Away is about a kidnapped child forced into a life of indentured servitude in realm of gods after her mother and father are magically forced into becoming pigs by a witch. Meanwhile, Princess Mononoke exists.

Whenever someone uses Ghibli or Miyazaki as a synonym for "quaint, charming, unthreatening" I'm always like "bro did we watch the same movies?"

I have decided the only big silly rich person purchase I'd like to make is a proper Japanese karaoke system, I would build a karaoke shed in my garden, I need this and it would drastically improve my quality of life

Like I didn’t even like the book all that much but it laid out its themes incredibly clearly!!!

The second most common complaint was “what was with all the alien stuff” like the point was coming right at you and you were bullet time dodging it like Neo

We did Slaughterhouse 5 at book club one month and one guy in the group complained that the bombing of Dresden never happens on page and I was holding my tongue like……. That is the whole point of the book I fear. Like it’s not a particularly subtle piece of work. The curtains were just blue ass

any time someone critiques a story by saying things like "I wish they would have told us what happened instead of just implying it" I want to take away their media privileges

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time

i think that, b4 we put the audra winter stuff to bed, all my webcomic friends should make a video introducing themselves/their comics like audra does so they can all be thrust into the role of ceo and become 6 figure business owners because they deserve many moneys...

I do love that Lost Judgement tried to soften the optics of having you running around beating the shit out of teenagers by adding a new supposedly non-lethal softer disarming focused fighting style but you are very much just still beating the shit out of teenagers

Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
