I was watching old episodes of Masquerade and she used to be one of the judges. She’d use her Doraemon voice to make the shy kids more comfortable on stage. Seemed like a really good person to be a cat-like robot.

This is my current top pick for the highschool, yokai, romcom, mecha, battle, sentai, magical girl genre.

You absolute poet.

The whale in the picture is at the natural history museum in Ueno. It’s a really nice place to visit if you’re ever in Tokyo and you can see taxidermied Hachiko (⁠ ⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⁠⌢⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀⁠)

Would feel like calling minced meat hamburger meat or something hah

Oh we definitely don’t do that. That would be super crazy.  ⁠•⁠ _⁠ •⁠

Not sure, but you’ve got a solid 50/50 on that.

When I was in 7th grade there was an 8th grader showing off her wedding pictures at the lunch table. She was 14, her husband was 18, and we all lived in Alabama.

This series deserves a top 3 spot in Jump ಠ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ಠ

Coach Z has had it rough since the sun set on the golden age of flash animation.

When I was in college, I had a tendency to grab random series from an fserv in IRC. One day I got Kaleidostar not knowing what it was and proceeded to marathon the whole 50 something episodes. I told the homies I was in my room watching porn lest they know I’d secretly become invested in binging anime made for middle school girls.

One of my favorite things to do is pass my speech into it and have it rewrite with fog index “#”. Really helps with speaking to varied audiences about the same topic.

I’m curious on how different the effect is between unmetabolized sweeteners like Splenda and something that is metabolized like aspartame. But yeah, I’m baby stepping my way towards dropping sweeteners altogether after finally getting used to black coffee, I’m trying to acclimate to green tea. I don’t think I’ll ever be a hydro homie.

Margarine I can understand, but aspartame is likely the most rigorously studied food additive of all time. Anecdotally and in contrast to your experience, I’ve been healthier since I swapped sugar in drinks to artificial sweeteners. But if it works for you, the numbers are the numbers, so keep at it. I once lost 20 pounds over the course of a year in highschool by swapping my lunch for a pack of Twinkies. Turns out calories in<calories out works no matter what you eat.
