I assume the joke is that they have very difficult birthing processes?

Haha yeah, rome, the famously peaceful and stable state that was dominated by a cruel slave owning elite. That is where we should be taking our lessons from.

I love u-temo, this and Still Not Normal Today are excellent.

I love the swagger in these guys sound, reminds me favorably, of Jungle Rot.

It gets a vaguely punkish energy, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised lmao.

Toxically Revisionist Yaoi.

Unless you’re going to reject anything that isn’t orthodox marxist out of hand, I’d suggest you read John Haldon’s “The State and the Tributary Mode of Production”.

It was solid, but on some levels I just think Blame! may simply be unadaptable.

Too tired recovering from surgery, but I have been leisurely re-reading Njhei’s Blame! again, just got through the electrofisher arc, and I cannot stop myself from falling in love with this series all over again. Or maybe that’s just the percocets talking.

Eh, I like Bad Dude better as a name.

Preach.

I agree in most cases, but I know people for who cooking is just another hobby, they put on some TV or a podcast and lose themselves in the labor. For those people it’s feasible, maybe not EVERY night, but on a frequent basis. The point you’re touching on is a very good one though, because it highlights how people are made to feel ashamed for not making “refined” food, or pressured into eating “conforming” (typically over-processed and made hyper-palatable with a lot of nutrition stripped out.) food that isn’t healthy.

Learning simple, and flexible, porridges/curries/stews (slop by some definitions) is the way. They’re simple, in that they often let slow simmering do most of the “work” of cooking for you. They’re highly flexible, in that you can adjust to what’s available instead of being locked into buying specific ingredients that may not be economical. These are the dishes normal people ate every day for thousands and thousands of years of human history. Yet, we’ve become addicted to trying to eat like some sort of french aristocrat for every dinner and that’s simply not feasible for most people who don’t find cooking innately rewarding and have money to spare.

Eh I’ve been known to drop upwards of $300 on a single order, then again it’s meant to last for 4-6 months. (it never lasts).

Man, I am so hyped for this season, I’ve been looking forward to this for months now. Trigun, Frieren, JJK, Oshi no Ko, it’s just STACKED. Non-zero chance I may have to put somethings on the backburner until the season over even.

Don’t misunderstand, I wasn’t replying to OP directly, merely commenting on the same thing as him.

This shit drives me insane. It is completely okay to have preferences, why would you expect anyone to want to date someone they do not find attractive? That’s absurdly unfair.

Wow, so cool, adaptation happening over such short time spans always catches me off guard.

Yeah, it was one of the less fun things to realize about myself.

Well, I gotta admit I am kinda of a freak when it comes to switch tastes. I love it to be loud, obnoxiously loud, with a huge accutation force. I have generally bounced between Box Jades/Navys and Kaliah Burnt Oranges, I really want my typing to be a sensual experience, feeling and hearing each keystroke. Since I do not do much high APM gaming, the extra force required never feels like it gets in the way; most others tell me they emphatically do not feel the same. So this is very much a bit of unusual take, and I do not know how relevant it will be for you.
