Has the saga of Matoi Ryuko been mentioned yet?Matoi Ryuko posted:Hey everyone! I don't wanna yell at anyone while I'm all tired and about to lay down for bed, so now I'm rested and ready to type. My guess is that all of you pretty much think I don't spend any time thinking about the kind of probations I hand out, but I really actually really really do. I've been your moderator for about 22 months now, and this entire time I've been working on this post I'm posting right now, sort of like a state of the address or something, or like a supreme court opinion on adtrw. Anyway, onto the meat of the matter, I feel that alot of you are being too hard on Japan, the writing doesn't deserve the constant derision it receives because it's not terrible, it's just mediocre. If you're being too hard on shows for being just medocore then you're sort of going to be driving away our main clientele, which as a moderator is my top priority to protect. I know tokyo ghoul or tomo-chan or franxx or whatever is mediocre to all of you but people coming here from crunchyroll and reddit are not going to enjoy a wall of "It's terrible" if they're here to discuss their new favorite anime or manga. On the point of being too hard on japan, all of you know that japan has been through alot in the past century, and if satoshi kon's work is any indication into the goings on inside japan and specifically the anime industry, then japan was pretty much like a sea of porcupines before the 2011 tsunami. I see such a dramatic change in the soul of anime because of the tsunami and I feel that kill la kill was an embodiement of that change. Love hina was filled with hope and ambition and stayed focused around those themes well into negima, but now anime is so filled with anger, and I think all of you need to relax a little with the negativity towards what is an isolated island nation trying to reach out to the world just because you thought their writing was lackluster. They were just annilihated by the most powerful tsunami we've ever seen and there wasn't a country in the world 1/10th as prepared for tsunamis as japan was, and then a nuclear meltdown followed and it's like an infected wound in the soul of japan. There is hope in anime still, but it's a nation in mourning, and in recovery, so just take it easy. There doesn't need to be a massive ban storm for you guys to get the picture because I know how much smarter all of you are than the rest of the forums and as an aside if you hadn't realized it yet, I'm not going to be flinging insults at anyone, ever, it's not who I want to be. All those happened because people said a badly-written robot anime was badly written. Do I even have to mention that this was one of the ADTRW mods at the time? And for those of you who can't read, watch the audiobook version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uwq5K-EK8Pc

That's the excuse that gets used all the time, "well he was acting like a dick" while failing to take into account that he was being mocked by literally everybody and stirred up, which retroactively justifies the bullying this is kinda similar how goons decided that it's cool and good to harass, stalk and make fun of a mentally ill man who was having an episode, just because he had an unworkable plan to walk across america

If you become a notoriously good poster you will eventually flame out as spectacularly as the notoriously bad, but it'll just make everyone sad instead of inspiring pleasant scadenfreude.

This reminds me of that one time someone posted an incredibly mild joke in a game giveaway in Private Game Servers and the person hosting the giveaway went on a protracted meltdown that culminated in him claiming that he was simultaneously working like 80 hour weeks while constantly being on verge of homelessness and that spending hundreds of dollars to give away brand new video games to complete strangers was literally the only positive outlet he had and now we had ruined that for him forever. For reference, the joke was that they had posted a list of games for people to claim beneath an embedded image of a string of party balloons and somebody in the thread asked if they could have the balloons.

I'm in deep poo poo. I've been running on no insulin for the past week. My Medicare Part D plan is not approving meds for me, and haven't been for the last two months. I got injured very badly last month, and my leg is shriveling up, and I'm not going to have the same functionality with it before the injury. I lost my recently acquired job because boss dude didn't like me being such a hassle after I got injured. I'm looking for new work, and I probably have a new remote from home call center job coming soon. I was wondering if y'all could help me buy my insulin. I need roughly about $1000. But it's ok if y'all can't help and then quote:so, um, i have big emergency due to some failed house appliances, and while I could probably sell my sanity to Rent-a-Center to solve it, maybe goons could help out with buying replacements since everything in my house is vintage 1979 and beyond anyone's ability to find replacement parts for. I need about $10,000 USD, and I can show you invoices in private for the estimates I got for replacing them. It's okay if there are higher priority individuals right now. I've received a lot of sincere help from y'all, and I'm very appreciative, so if you can spare anything, my PayPal is https://www.paypal.me/ or Venmo: . I can even do Zelle or Cash app, but it's like whatever. I've been without some meds up until today so I'm kinda just vibing on feeling sane again, lol. <3 And there were definitely some goons struggling to get by still chipping in to help. my bony fealty posted:arise, arise...Brother Aziz! pants!
