RE: Good Anime
@roz said in Good Anime:
Wait, Transformers doesn't fit this definition? The original series was literally animated by Toei.
I'm not beholden to my statement, so I will replace it with "Bugs Bunny."
So amended.

RE: Good Anime
@ominous said in Good Anime:
I really liked the Boondocks and wished Aaron McGruder could have made more seasons. However, does it qualify as anime or is it a cartoon in an anime style?
It's anime.
If it's anime, are Avatar: the Last Air Bender and The Dragon Prince anime?
Yes.
In Japan, anime is any cartoon, regardless of style or origin. So do you consider the Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and South Park anime?
Not really. I think of 'anime' as anything that is influenced by Japanese animation. So, The Boondocks fits, Avatar and The Legend of Korra fit, Exo-Squad fits, but Transformers does not.
Whether something fits that expansive description is up to each person, but I think it's safe to say that Family Guy does not.

RE: RL things I love
Although I had no time in the past 72 hours to play Arx, and therefore missed the high action, I did manage to nearly complete my front and side yard landscaping, which means my partner is very happy, and my body is completely broken.

RE: RL things I love
I wish I knew how to share my photos somewhere so I can link them here because my fuzz-kids have made me so much more mellow.
I'll bet y'all motherfuckers noticed.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
@macha said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
I too, had an anger issue. I was a little raging Wolverine, at times when I got pushed too far. (who knew being abused would make me lash out. /s ) (That is obviously not her reason.)
Actually, she isn't really the angry sort. Based on her diagnosis, she has difficult controlling her emotions, quite literally. She can get very sad and very happy and very angry. I am told it is part of her spectrum, along with her uncanny ability with language (her Spanish teacher has told us she is nearly fluent at the first grade level for native speakers, and neither I nor my partner speak it any better than 'yo quiero taco bell').
I pity the fools that get her truly mad. Between TKD, hip hop dance, and biking an hour a day, she has legs of frackin' steel. I have no doubt that a kick in the groin to some poor boy would result in a hospital visit. Me, though, I don't really care, but, sometimes, if the wookiee wants a double-chocolate muffin, let the wookiee win.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
It upsets me because my boy is sensitive for an Asian boy. He likes Transformers and video games. Shit like this doesn't help because he has a tough time making friends to begin with.
My girl is sensitive too, but she flies into a rage at times. That's its own problem, but other kids don't try to push her around. She's also 4'5", weighs a healthy 75 lbs., and is in Grade 1.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
Upset of the Day: Learned that my boy is being bullied by the class mean girl because he has stress-related alopecia and is looking a little bare in the front.
Comfort of the Day: Apparently, the school already has the mean girl on their radar and is gathering a file on her to present to her parents.
Lesson of the Day: To his sister: "I know I tell you to mind your business. You should mind your business when someone is doing something that isn't hurting anyone else. But if that someone is doing something that hurts anyone else, you can and should step in. And if that someone is hurting your brother, that is your damn business and you can step in and do what you have to. People hurting your family is always your business. Am I clear?"

RE: Good TV
This is why I liked She-Ra so much.
Black lesbian couple.
Black male main hero with two dads.
Asian central princess.
Autistic pivotal character.
Alternate body shapes.
Transgender character.
Non-binary characters.
And no one seems to care at all because it’s normal to them.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
I just don’t understand this.
Some of my favorite “masculine” shows and movies were helmed or directed by women.
The Witcher. The Punisher. Bumblebee.
Women aren’t just on the rise; their shit is damn good.

RE: Crafting Thread Part ?
@jibberthehut said in Crafting Thread Part ?:
But hauling those bags ugh.
I have hauled 10 bags of 50 lbs. of pea gravel and over 200 retaining wall bricks over the past three days.
I am the diesel.

RE: Crafting Thread Part ?
I too have been working on the house and can appreciate the pea gravel sandbox.
My retaining wall has used much of the pea.

RE: Good TV
Just read this, and feel slight excitement.
I read that last word as "excrement," and found it appropriate.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
The first time she really caught my eye was on The Big Bang Theory.
Like, I'm not even sorry, really, I'm not, she's a gorgeous woman and I would eat her until I exploded.
