Old man's version of "well you're not invited to my birthday party"

The album that song is on is actually great and one of my favs of that era. I'd make them play the whole album and only that album.

I married an extrovert as an introvert. it took us a few years before we got married to really understand each other on that. But in the end I appreciate having a partner that encourages me to do fun stuff with others and supports me when I'm not into it.

I've also grown as an introvert. I keep taking extroverted jobs purposefully. My first big boy job was working on a corporate IT helpdesk taking support calls all day. So that's how I got over my fear of phonecalls.

Now I'm a leader with a team. People are surprised to find I'm an introvert and can't imagine the quiet person that I was just a decade ago.

You'll need to turn off "ask where to save files" in chrome download settings.

I always loved how they slurped up a fried egg whole in the ghibli movies

The problem is lumping all anime together like it's one thing. It would be like comparing toddler toons like bluey, to teenager cartoons (teen titans), to adult ones (st: lower decks).

Shonen (adolescent target) manga/anime is by far the most popular category, but that means a lot of the set/place/characters are of teenaged nature and teenaged topics since that is what is most interesting to that aged group. A dash of sex sells (basic fanservice) and you get a highly competitive target audience in teenagers.

Even western teenager cartoons are a bit sexualized (teen titans) - just to western standards so it's less noticeable and more in our appetite.

If you apply your 10% standard to western cartoons as a whole you probably fail your own test.

If you DO want to enjoy any cartoons I do think it's important to find stuff that looks interesting to you, for anime maybe getting into some of the more adult stuff, or the stuff for teens or kids that didn't do the sex sells part.

I wouldn't take this as a defense of anime - I don't even watch anymore, but just providing the context around why you see what you see.

Long term losses > short term gains

"American cheese" was invented by a Canadian.

It's also just cheddar with an emulsifier and some milk fat. You can make it in your kitchen in a few minutes.

Yes and 100% isn't 100%

People and their batteries though... It's a futile obsession for some. It doesn't matter how much science or logic you throw at them there's always something.

Like how fast charging hasn't for some time done like a full max rate for the entire time to keep heat within tolerances but still some people think doing the work themselves is somehow better thermal management than modern battery controllers to the point they think it will make a material difference.
