Why would you make snoop dog autograph an anime

Anime fans are NUTS. During SDCC, Marvel had an stream where they'd have guests on and people on twitter could ask them questions, and someone was spamming "do you watch anime???" over and over. It to to a point where their head of Social Media had to say "stop asking this question" on the stream.

If you watch Twitch streamers, and God help you pay attention to the chat, that's the most common question next to "Do you play (my favorite game)?" Anime fans really can't stand not talking about anime in any public setting for more than a few minutes, even if it's not relevant to anything going on.

Yep. I like anime, not as much as I used to though, but I still watch stuff if I hear its good or whatnot. But like Doctor Who i never talk about it because that always end up talking to someone who's way to into it.

It was a huge long screed about how its just drawings and how this is an Anime Con and celebrates all aspects of Japanese culture and loli is part of the culture. How kid loving is a "accepted part of Japan" becauase Lolicon is so popular over there. I wish I had saved it because it was some glorious "anime is real Japan" stuff.

That's an age old political tactic, though. If anybody is the slightest bit prominent they're going to have cameras around them a lot and have people taking their picture. Somebody as important as "literally the highest political office in a nation of 300 million people" is going to have a hard time going somewhere that cameras are not going to follow. It's a question of volume; take thousands of pictures of somebody and you're going to be able to find enough to make him look like a complete doofus. On the other end you're going to find a few that make him look like a prestigious person in a prestigious position.

So of course that person's opposition is going to go through the thousands of pictures, find the handful that makes him look like a tool, and plaster them everywhere saying "hey look at how much this guy sucks! These pictures make him look bad lol he's a weak poo poo bag amirite?"


Robert Stanfield was a politician in Canada from the East Coast that was from an era when being a Conservative didn't mean being a complete loving shithead in every way. When Premier of Nova Scotia, he improved human rights, the arts, brought in healthcare and infrastructure and helped much of the province transition to a more modern state. He became leader of the Federal Conservatives and ran against Truedau. He lost, but then in a future election the Liberials had not managed the economy very well and it looked like the PCs may win it. Until this photo was taken

This sunk the campaign. Thing is, Stanfield had been tosses the football around for a while, and missed it once, but that's all that was needed.

Every time someone I know shares a article about healthy eating and such, i check it out, and then I find that that the "sources" are all Natural News and such sites and full of garbage about PESTICIDES and EAT ORGANIC!

I feel wrong commenting on them, pointing out the suspect sources, but these people are legitimately trying to lose weight ( as am I) and I don't want to call them stupid. It's a hard thing, and people can end up looking for anything that can help. As I've said, though, its not harmful, just makes you pay more for food, and it may help you think more about what you eat.

The funny thing, this image was shared by someone I know. Though someone they know posted "I offered the kids 5bux to shovel my driveway and they said they'd do it only for $20" as a response so yea, they aren't aware of the situation.

The person who caused my to post the comment about the eating healthy and such now is posting about scaaaarrry smart meter stuff. She posted an link to an a guy using a giger counter to measure the evil radiation coming off the smart meter

its in french but its basically "smart meters are gonna kill us!" Thing is, why does his giger counter look like a prop from Star Trek? Also, is it calibrated properly? I know after fukushima, people were running up and down the west coast screaming about huge clouds of radiation they were detecting on their giger counters they bought off amazon, none of which had been properly set up so it picked up the regular background radiation of the planet and started screaming.

If they made officers write a detailed report for every single bullet they discharged than shooting would go way down because who wants to do a bunch of paperwork?


An alternative solution would be to simply shoot every single person on earth dead. That way there would be no more people left to shoot so all shooting deaths would drop to zero pretty soon.

Police departments straight up demand that they have to do less paperwork, claiming that they spend too much time filling out reports than going out and catching criminals. Obviously this also will enable them to hide stuff. Also demanding Police to be held to any standard is considering anti-cop by most of the Media, it's been happening.

This reminds me of a article i read about people in debt and how they got out of debt. It was about a couple who's combined income was around $175k Canadian a year, she was a dentist and he killed people will bullshit cures (Homeopath) . They were around 300k in debt because they not only owned an home in an upscale Vancouver neighbourhood but also owned a condo in Fort Meyers Florida that they lived in from Jan to March, shutting their businesses down.

Somehow this was an cautionary tale, becuase everyone who's in debt just did dumb things like buy a half million dollar condo when they were still paying off a 2 million dollar house, and removed 3 months worth of income from their budget just so they wouldn't be cold. There was also a story about a guy in Calgary who had an mini rink build into the basement of his mcManson and refused to not use it all year around, causing his power bills to be astronomical. People always act like this is what all the people who are in debt are from. It's not they're in debt from just trying to live, or schooling or anything that's just life. Nope its because they spend their money on expensive luxuries.

I mean, there are people who do, but you know they are far from the representation of the majority of people in debt. It's always their fault, not someone elses! You don't want to be poor? Go get a better job! Don't have the skills to get a better job? Go back to school! and it becomes an endless cycle of blaming people.

I read something via a Pinterest thing I saw that was similar re: getting out of debt, but it was a military family that used a $20,000 relocation payment to buy a trailer outright, then paid off $10,000 of credit card debt from a lawsuit settlement. So they were able to pay off their debt in something like three months and live virtually rent free and save like $2,000 a month with only one parent working in a family of four. And the entire thing was like, "If I can do it, you can too!" Yeah ok. When I get a $30,000 windfall in less than three months, live in a shithole that allows me to buy a trailer for $20,000, I will follow exactly this advice.

Oh that's fantastic. Yea, nothing like showing someone who essentally won the lottery as an example of sound fiscal planning.
