I didn't immediately recognize the scenes with the Egyptian and Japanese magical girls.
There's a movie series - Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie - that's something of recap of season 1-2. The "Rebellion" arc is a season 3, of sorts, that officially ends the series. Some of those scenes might be from there.
Well, now I'm sad. Thanks.
It would ruin the brand, globally, if you've got American TikTok rebranded to Libs of TikTok
Somehow managed to hit this guy right in the "My black wife is a pilot" sweet spot.
Listen, I don't trust Israelis to do a lot of things, but I'm confident in their ability to ~~secure their borders~~ wage total war on their neighbors in retaliation for insane border policies.
Every situation is different, but it's always been that easy for me. In my various small apartments I have never encountered a persistently anti-social neighbor.
I've had a lot of mixed experiences. My current neighborhood is incredibly pleasant and friendly, but the development of adjacent lots is periodically performed in the most obnoxious and intrusive manner seemingly possible.
The various apartments I've lived in have had lots of very pleasant neighbors. But a few really annoying ones stick out in my brain - we had a guy high on mushrooms screaming at the top of his lungs at 1am one night "They're trying to kill me!" over and over again. A not insignificant amount of drama really did just boil down to the quality of the construction. Thin walls versus thick. Open hallways versus covered. People throwing big parties at the community swimming pool who were happy to have someone come by, versus folks who gave you dirty looks if you so much as crossed through the space.
I think that bad neighbors get over-represented online and most people want to be nice.
The impact of a bad neighbor is far more pronounced than the impact of a good one.
Its definitely always helpful to reach out and be a friend. But not everyone has your good fortune.
Love how all that shit Xi has been doing in China
Is suddenly a really good idea in the West.
My man Toriyama isn't afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. Its dusty out there and dinosaurs need eye protection, too.
Three cheers to Comrade Toriyama. A man with a heart of gold and a fist of steel.
It's that easy.
Until you've got one person in the community who always says "No" to everything and another person who blatantly violates any kind of good faith efforts at compromise. Living together in close quarters with people of mixed minds is rarely easy. And while outreach is the first step, it isn't a panacea.
Sometimes you have to think a bit bigger than "Can I please do loud band practice in the space adjacent to the guy with a skittish dog?" Sometimes you have to talk about the idea of doing real communism - public band halls and practice rooms, improved insulation in buildings, an Apartment Stalin who will find and murder the guy who keeps spray painting over people's cars for the lolz.
People squished together in substandard housing have only themselves to blame if they can neither enjoy the comfort of music and companionship nor sleep soundly. They should simply purchase large ranch-style homes in the exurbs, where the luxury of space affords them both privacy and social opportunity.
I've seen absolutely no evidence that Ayn Rand has ever been educated.
