Hot take, but French people have an inflated opinion about their food. It’s good, but they’re in Europe surrounded by German and English fare so it seems mind blowing to them.

Check out Asia, Vietnam did wonders with whatever the French introduced and that’s like a few decades of guys in street stalls while France has entire institutes dedicated to this stuff.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had banger after banger for its openings.

One Piece OP1 is a classic

Gintama’s early openings and endings are also really good. Pray and Mr. Raindrop are great.

Would be remiss if I didn’t honorable mention Eden of the East just straight up using Falling Down by the band Oasis (the guys who wrote Wonderwall).

Its way better than it used to be. I don’t know if that’s just because there’s less drama happening right now regarding reddit, but I didn’t get a flooded front page when reddit’s chatbot citations started plummeting which is a huge improvement over the past.

I don’t think we should never talk about reddit, but I think it gets really annoying when people start clickbait spamming with Reddit headlines which hasn’t happened in a while.

The interviewee is consenting to this being something that is released soon after they die. They’re not stupid, they get that its a gimmick but also means they can say whatever they want to a larger audience because of the hype.

Ask people in western China how that’s working for them. And that’s only the width of one country, not a continent or hemisphere.

Where are my balls Summer?

Sounds like you’d rather watch a movie or show. Not a knock. I tend to not engage with plot in games unless it’s like BG3 where it’s fundamental. I like that for TV and movies, I just have the director giving me the optimal way to engage with their story and themes.

I am a sucker for a good magic or power system, so will happily explore through skill trees and the like.

Not having a feasible business model tends to be bad for companies in general.

Calling 4chan the most hateful site on the Internet ignores the fact that xitter is a thing.

The kind of hateful rhetoric and grooming are not unique to 4chan, they happen on Facebook, discord, and roblox. 4chan has just been a minimally filtered representation of underground online cultures for decades now meaning it’s still just as much a font of creativity as it is a cesspool of internet refuse.

Well I don’t mind at all.

Sounds a bit like the US. I live in New York City, there are a lot of bloated non profits that are just used as slush funds for rich people and networking. I’ve met a few people on occasion who work in non profits that do things like provide hiring metrics for other non profits instead of actually doing direct good, so you really need to be careful who you donate to.

I’m sorry that Germany also has long term issues with its social safety net, but it’s morbidly reassuring as an American to hear we’re not going to be the only ones on the sinking ship.

There was a post a while ago where a German person posted that they were confused by the US nonprofit systems, they basically said I pay my taxes and the government makes sure it’s spent feeding the needy and foreign aid and all that. Why should I go through the trouble of researching all these charities trying to find a good one to donate to.

Not that Germany doesn’t have non profits, but they really should be for special interest type cases where you explicitly want to send money to a cause, not general global well being.

You don’t understand, they’re making money so much faster than they can reasonably give away.

*that sounds like the caricature of you I have in my head

Kids these days don’t know how to have a proper brick party in forums anymore.

I get this, but it doesn’t last that long after I finish eating so I just blow my nose once and it’s done. Would suck to have this be something that lasts a while after eating though.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it’s normal for your family, but for most families that wouldn’t be normal.

If you’re family is open about being sex positive, if talking with your parents about masturbating wasn’t weird as a teenager, then I don’t think it’s that weird of a college send off gift.

Spend the dollar on garbage bags and collect a bunch of bottles and cans. Depending on where you live, you could probably make a good amount of money from that. I’ve seen people with shopping carts full of bottles walking to the recycling kiosks.

A group of 11 year olds made an irreverent joke? My god, what is society coming to.
