Thanks. I don't mind a couple of them, but having so many is just obnoxious.

Also, I'm sure I read that post in the r/elationships thread in GBS, so someone actually sat down and added all that bullshit to it.

I was BANNED from my local super smash bros melee scene . They used the local community college to host it and told me BY EMAIL IF I CAME THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME IN . This came out of Nowhere ⁉️ so I immediately called The TO who told me why . He said it was because I was frequently TOXIC and ANGRY . He said that I yell to other players and made them uncomfortable and scared , and that a girl quit because of me . While I do sometimes get FRUSTRATED and vocalize it so do many other people I am simply being discriminated against because my voice is naturally deeper than most ☺️☺️☺️. also the truth is a girl never quit that is a complete lie , she was just butthurt that she was worse than everyone there . I'm so loving irate . I have been a member of this community FOR YEARS and just now I'm a nuisance ? I am entitled to a certain level of RESPECT for being a veteran player . I'm looking into finding a lawyer who'll get me unbanned . There MUST be a law that prevents people from arbitrarily banning others from certain locations without written documents proving it (the TO just SAID I was banned he did not provide any evidence .) The TO isn't rich or anything so I don't think I would have to ask a lot of him , I'd think he'd just break under pressure of lawsuit .

This is one of the big complaints about The Last Jedi? I found it way less silly than The Force Awakens, and I don't remember people saying that was too silly. Like, 90% of Han Solo scenes were him being goofy and over-the-hill. There was a lot less of BB-8 being silly in TLJ than there was in TFA too.

There was probably less slapstick than Return of the Jedi, though I know that it's the "worst" of the original trilogy.

The Last Jedi doesn't really have slapstick, but it's a lot funnier than the original or prequel trilogies because it's actually got good humor delivered well. As much as people deify Star Wars, the original and prequel trilogies are cheesy as hell.

What's with the bananas and oranges around Christmas time?

Fresh fruit was really hard to come by in the winter in the northern hemisphere and (like now) had to be shipped in via boat. Oranges and bananas survived the trip pretty well but cost a pretty penny so it was a nice gift to give someone. Like giving a fancy cheese assortment nowadays.

They're basically saying Pusheen is a rip-off of hello Kitty and thus, appropriating a Japanese art style because reasons. Also, obligatory :pusheen:

Yeah Sanrio's just a huge company and doesn't need ardent defenders. And as already pointed out on twitter, hello kitty is just a rip-off of miffy

Interview with Miffy's creator posted:

The only other time in our conversation when Bruna's brow clouds over is when we discuss Hello Kitty, the Japanese cartoon beloved of cute-obsessed schoolgirls and lovers of kitsch throughout the world. 'That,' he says darkly, 'is a copy [of Miffy], I think. I don't like that at all. I always think, "No, don't do that. Try to make something that you think of yourself".' After all, he adds - mood already lifting - 'there's so many nice things.'

It's not exactly surprising that Japan should have spawned a rival to Miffy, because it's home to her most ardent fans - and, crucially, her most lavish consumers. In Bruna's studio there are gifts from children all around the world, but most numerous are the cards artfully crafted from patterned paper, and flocks of origami birds which are sent for good luck. When Bruna goes for his morning coffee, he says, 'there are often Japanese people waiting there - they know'. And when he toured Britain on Miffy's 50th anniversary, he was followed from venue to venue by a middle-aged Japanese woman who sported a Miffy painted on each cheek. He finds the interest exciting, but bewildering.

Sanrio even got sued for ripping off Miffy
