    Noooo...

    Tried my lactose-free milk, and my stomach is still churning.

    Well, at least it's one suggestion that it might not be lactose-intolerance.

    ah, I knew about that site for a while

    lots of neat stuff in there
  • now officially past 4 and my mom's ex-husband still hasn't showed up.

    I called my mom's friend Lori, who is with her at the hospital, and she says that he hasn't contacted them either.

    I'm really worried that that douchebag did something dumb with those kids. He hasn't been right in the head lately from what I understand.

    :(

    I hope everything's ok...
  • On the good side of things Lori says that mom's surgery went well and quickly, they're just basically waiting for her to come up from the anesthetic.

    For the curious, she had a rare form of (pediatric? That's what the doctor said) cancer. Thankfully, it was not attached to anything vital, so they were able to just cut it out, though she may have a hard time doing much walking for a while.

    I'm just concerned about my little brothers.

    I don't think I've ever seen any "criticism" of Attack on Titan that wasn't just insulting its fans and then muttering something nonspecific about character development.

    I don't really care about that anime.

    "The Walking Dead of Anime"

  • It's like

    I don't even love it

    I've seen nine episodes and it's pretty good (the one that shows Mikasa's backstory was legitimately incredible though), but any criticisms I have, I haven't really seen anyone actually voice. Like I said, all the "criticisms" of it are just "LOL YOU GUYS ARE DUMB FOR LIKING THIS because the characters are bad or something".
  • I think a lot of the gruff came from it running on Toonami.

    Frankly I see way more annoying disparagments of AoT than I ever did fanboying over the show. I think the worst it got was when potato jokes were everywhere for like a month.

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Attack on Titan is something I probably would've enjoyed as a teenager, but now I probably wouldn't.

    I think that's because, quite frankly, I've grown weary of overt cynicism in entertainment.

    potato jokes?

    this is the first i've heard of those
  • The sadness will last forever.
    Heard Breaking Bad and Mad Men are slow paced.

    one of the characters really likes potatoes and there was an amusing scene involving the consumption of a potato.

    Super fast paced stuff can get really annoying but super slow paced stuff isn''t good either.

    you say that like that's a bad thing
  • i don't see any fandom stuff on my dashboard anymore
  • I see a lot of RWBY stuff cuz I follow Waltzy and that's like her life, but other than that I don't really see much either aside from random anime stuff from Ossan.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    cynicism in entertainment is generally something I can tolerate only in small amounts before it starts to feel depressing and wearisome
  • kill living beings
    pediatric cancer is cancer in children, so you probably didn't mean that
  • podiatric maybe?

    It's one of my favourite games, if that wasn't already obvious.

    Yes, it took severe liberties with the source material, but you can tell the people making it were closely familiar with the original books, and they never set out to adapt them. It's based on them, but it's not a direct adaptation and makes no pretence of being one. In any case, the books are firmly embedded in popular culture nowadays and are in the public domain, so I don't see the problem

    Besides being a highly entertaining game, the concept of exploring a mental environment which is shaped by the psychology of the explorer appeals to me.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    And I really like their versions of some of the characters, even though they were nothing like in the books.

    When is a croquet mallet like a billy club?  Whenever you want it to be.
  • pediatric cancer is cancer in children, so you probably didn't mean that

    Nah I remember that she told me it was a rare form of pediatric cancer. I remember thinking much the same thing.

    Of course, it's possible she misunderstood, but if that's so then I don't know what was meant. Maybe that other thing.

    Anyway, my little brothers showed up safe and sound. Though their dad didn't even stop in to say hi, and we have a pizza on the way. Woohoo.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I can't watch Attack On Titan, because the creator said stuff supporting Imperial Japan's actions during WWII
  • Cynicism doesn't really work as a common thing in mainstream media, because it is, by its very nature, subversive. That said, I think Attack on Titan generally works, tone-wise. It sort of reminds me of Gurren Lagann thematically.

    Actually, with regards to the original Alice books (which are some of my favourite books, by the way), the tone is somewhat up for debate, anyway.  Some people have found them funny, others have found them charmingly whimsical, and others have found them nightmarish.  I can see arguments for all three.  The obstinate characters coupled with the distortions of logic is certainly something I find unsettling, a bit like a real bad dream where nothing goes right and no amount of reasoning or effort will sort things out.

    When I was a kid, the 'serpent' scene with the bird used to scare me, although it's funny to me now.

    Yeah, this all I really know about the show, and it's offputting to say the least.

    There is a new movie called Lord of Tears coming out where the villain is Slenderman with an owl head.

    How strange.
