It's not anime. It's nerds.

I'm not sure if the hobby obsession leads to poor health and hygiene, or if people with poor health and hygiene are drawn to these hobbies, but gaming - be it boardgaming, CCG's, RPG's, LARPing, videogaming, whatever - all these types of hobbies draw perhaps the unhealthiest people you'll ever see.

I've attended Gen Con for the last 10 years, and it's just an unfortunate observation. Despite the fact that every person I've ever personally interacted with at Gen Con is friendly and passionate about the gaming hobby, and are generally great people, it's simply hard not to notice that many of them are overweight, in poor health, eat poorly, and sometimes have hygiene issues.

Just one of the side-effects of the hobby, I guess. If you subsist on a diet of Red Bull, Mountain Dew, Funyuns, Hot Pockets and Taco Bell, and never get out of your chair, well, nature will take its course.

Wait until real food starts getting restricted and bugs are all we get.

If I ever threw an anime con it would be called ShowerCon: the con where you take a shower before you come!

The logo would be a shower head and the advertisements would include ELI5 instructions on how to bathe. Sponsors would be Flex and Speed Stick.

It means that the voters should understand it's her turn. The script was all written, they had nothing but a bit part. They just had to stand in the back and be a tree.

And they couldn't even do THAT right!

Maybe you understand the depth of the anger and contempt for them now?

Oh, America offshored everything but weapons manufacturing. Those factories, we still have in abundance.

Distributed evenly throughout every congressional district, so if there is ever a cut in spending, they will make sure to hurt all of them.

Fun fact: in 1916 the Germans were winning the war and the Americans only entered to save their bankers from ruin. If the French lost, you think the Germans were going to pay back those loans? Source: Smedley Butler.

Europeans are just slavish people who want to be ruled. Just look at Germany today, they voluntarily gave up control of their security to the Americans and control of their economy to the Russians. And then when the Americans bombed Nordstream 2, they meekly accepted overpriced American gas to make up the difference. Now they're meekly sending tanks to the nazis. The French are the only ones with any spine, and it's just assholish contrarianism rather than actual burning desire for freedom.

Pinker, is that you?

As a man who has had to use more squat toilets than I would ever care to repeat, I can confirm that "but your butt doesn't touch the seat" is used as an excuse to keep lax toilet cleanliness. I'll take the worst any truck stop could offer over some of the ones I've been in. Yuck.

Encourage them to keep drinking Pepsi and sweet iced tea? Both do a great job of decreasing life expectancy.

FUCK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

This but unironically

The States make the USA. We don't have enough federalism. The federal government has way too much power and influence, and could use a good mowing.

He can't win the nomination.

Trump can't win the general.

So whatever empty suit the Democrats nominate is going to win.

Critical support for...Ron DeSantis?

I feel like I need a shower.

It's a 4chan op. I saw it earlier today and it was like this all the way down the page.

Say any of this to Finns and they immediately dismiss you as Russian propaganda.

There are people I've known for years and yet never seen them outside the bar.

And that's OK. It's OK to have friends that aren't deep. I like my bar buddies, they keep me company at the bar. What else am I supposed to do at 10pm on a Tuesday and I'm bored at home?

But if the only thing you want is deep, meaningful experiences where the two of you know every detail about each other like this woman apparently does...well, you're asking too much from life, I think.

He's defining himself as part of an ingroup by use of insider slang. "If you aren't one of us, you won't understand. You'll just try to ridicule us, which is just typical of you unwashed morons."
