If you date a freshly 18 year old girl, claiming it’s ok because “she’s legal”, you are still a pedophile. If the legal limit was 16, you would date a 16 yo. If it was 10, you would date a 10 yo. You’re just a pedophile on a leash.

I just had an out of body experience

Bro, go back to old entertainment. I read all the Dashiel Hammet short stories (continental op). Now I'm (slowly) doing the Flashman novels. A century of amazing fiction, great movies pre-2008, great anime, great older video games. Just be excited about what we already have.

STAGGERING UK POLICE ADMISSION GB News’ report that Essex Police described white people as a “non-protected group”.

Alas, no. “The Lord of the Rings seems to be inflated, overwritten, tendentious, and moralistic in the extreme. Is it not a giant Period Piece? … But there is still the burden of Tolkien’s style: stiff, false archaic, overwrought, and finally a real hindrance in Volume III, The Return of the King, which I have had trouble rereading. At seventy-seven, I may just be too old, but here is The Return of the King, opened pretty much at random: ‘At the doors of the Houses many were already gathered to see Aragorn, and they followed after him; and when at last he had supped, men came and prayed that he would heal their kinsmen or their friends whose lives were in peril through hurt or wound, or who lay under the Black Shadow. And Aragorn arose and went out, and he sent for the sons of Elrond, and together they labored far into the night. And word went through the city: “The King is come again indeed.” And they named him Elfstone, because of the green stone that he wore, and so the name which it was foretold at his birth that he should bear was chosen for him by his own people.’ I am not able to understand how a skilled and mature reader can absorb about fifteen hundred pages of this quaint stuff. Why ‘hurt or wound’; are they not the same? What justifies the heavy King James Bible influence upon this style? Sometimes, reading Tolkien, I am reminded of the Book of Mormon. Tolkien met a need, particularly in the early days of the counterculture in the later 1960s. Whether he is an author for the duration of the twenty-first century seems to me open to some doubt.” —Harold Bloom, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings

I want to go home. I hate being in the middle of nowhere with low Wi-Fi and no word processor.

ヒンメルの声優さんは 全てのセリフの最後に 「愛しているよフリーレン」を 添えるつもりで言っているらしい。 これは現実でも全ての人が 応用できる考え方だと思う。 みんなも明日から喋る時は 「愛しているよフリーレン」を 添えるつもりで話してくれ。

The glory of sequential art is that it can make a few moments last for an eternity.

There is a restaurant in Texas where they bring you food until you tell them to stop. They do not tell you to stop. You tell them. I did not know a man could be trusted with such power. I confess I wept. In my country, when a host feeds you, you finish what is served. To leave food on the plate is to insult the hands that made it. This is not my opinion. This is the law of the table. So when the man said "all you can eat," I did not hear an offer. I heard a challenge of honor. The house was offering me everything it had. To stop before the house stopped would be to call the house stingy. I would not insult the house. Plate one, fried chicken. I bowed. I finished it. Plate two, ribs. I bowed. I finished it. Plate three. Four. Five. The house did not stop. So neither did I. A waiter came and said, kindly, that I could stop whenever I wished. I told him I did not come here to wish. I came here to settle a debt of honor. He brought a manager. The manager brought water. I do not drink water during battle. By the second hour, the kitchen had slowed. I took this as weakness in the enemy and pressed forward. By the third hour I could no longer feel my face. But a samurai does not retreat simply because his face has left him. They turned off the lights and closed the restaurant around me. I remained seated. Still chewing. The last man at the table. I won. I have not eaten since. That was eleven days ago. So tell me honestly. When the sign says all you can eat, who is supposed to surrender first? Because it will not be me.

She was such an incredible woman.
