You know that thing where you sleep on your arm funny and when you wake up it's all numb? Yeah that's my whole world right now.

Yeah but you see when you give it a trendy name (like "straight but a little shy" became "demisexual") you get more special snowflake points.

I suppose most relationships are based on social expectations of the culture you live in. When you become someone's partner you don't formally say "no shagging around", but it's expected.

I get the impression these guys gently caress around then try some rules lawyering bullshit of "why are you mad? we didn't say we wouldn't gently caress around".

She is bad.

So... why don't they just bone whoever they want? Plenty of people do that without making it their identity.

If it is something to get people to say "wtf am I reading" and "I bet the fbi is on its way now" you can't beat Kodomo no Jikan. They even tried to bring it over but stopped mid way cause they were afraid of damaging tokyopop's rep.

Thing is, the story and characters are actually great, people just can't deal with lolis. As odd as it may seem, I share that sentiment about pantyshots being just kinda...there, as a spice to punctuate the comedy. Of course this is more masturbating with wiimotes and groaning about your sleeping teachers junk "not possibly fitting" than just pantyshots, but the point is the same. At one part, I was hitting my table from laughter about a joke regarding vaginal tightness, it was a pun too. Any manga that manages to achieve that can't be not great.

Ultimately, it's a coming of age story from the point of view of a girl. It dels with loss of a parent and trauma, as well as with more mundane stuff than wearig a bra for the first time etc. (and those moments are not actually sexual, the sexual stuff is saved for the humor parts) so everyone should give it a go.

When you call yourself "a survivor" without any context as a way to put points on the scoreboard before you actually talk about what you do, yeah, that's pretty loving bad.

I dunno, though, I always get the sense with these tumblr-talk bios that they're really aware of just how unimpressive and small they are and are trying to achieve some sort of inherent usefulness by being someone's niche interest. I think it springs from this idea that in order to be interesting you have to be interesting rather than doing interesting things. Anyone have that guy who decided to identify as a writer when he hadn't written anything? Like, not even a blog post? And then got massively defensive when people asked what he'd written?

It's why america has gone from being the last great super power respected by most of the world to a laughingstock where it's own citizens constantly denigrate it. The sooner America self destructs the better.

So am I, but I never found it weird. When people who don't know each other have to exchange more than a polite greetings they'll leap at anything that looks like a reasonably inoffensive way to fill the silence.

I normally counter with 'Yep, and Left handed people are the best, most talented, brilliant, awesome, attractive and MODEST people of them all.' as a joke that most people don't get but it amuses me.
