I honestly find it weird that people feel entitled to a statement from someone peripherally involved without any knowledge of the situation.

Like I get the anger at the situation, but not the expectation that everyone needs to make a statement otherwise it means complicity.

Legit. Very nice.

What do you think about the toasting then frying of spices? It's a bit of faff but I think it all makes a difference, so long as you dont burn them.

I.e.

  1. Toast whole spices on dry hot pan
  2. Grind
  3. Fry in oil
Doing this as a first step and not just throwing in spice mix.

@Perascamin
Please refute

Alright let's do this.

  • The characters suck, are one dimensional,
Are we watching the same anime? One Piece is hailed for it's unbelievable amount of character development and depth of characters compared to other shonen. The only one dimensional character in the main cast would be Brook. Now if you said there's a bit of flanderisation going on then that's true, but over the course of the anime's history we've seen each character grow and change and show a lot of subtlety.

I find it hard to understand this point compared to other things you could compare it to. Naruto is a one note character, natsu is a one note character, toriko is a one note character, Goku is a one note character, etc. People say Luffy is one note but he's incredibly unpredictable at times, which is cool.

*Ichigo is a two note character. He's either badass and untouchable or sad and pathetic. Nothing in between.

  • and there's too much goofy kid random bullshit going on for it to be taken seriously. "Do you have some panties I could sniff?" Jfc.
This is exactly why people like one piece though. Bleach and Naruto were just far too serious all the damn time, and had no self awareness about what kind of show they are or who their audience is. Why should a show about teenage kids playing pirate be very serious? This is power up shonen nonsense. It should be silly.

With that said, One Piece still provides emotional depth and truly sad moments and I think to a level that other shonens fail. It sets up characters to love and then knocks them down brutally. There's a lot of loss and bittersweet going on. There's romance and adventure.

People cried over a boat. A boat!

Also minor point but his gimmick is just that he would like to see pants, not sniff them.

It has the worst artstyle in all of the anime world. Seriously. Its fucking awful.

The art style is just gonna be a preference really. I really like it and prefer it over the cookie cutter anime style that nearly every other anime in this genre has. You could point out that it has really lazy animation at times and that would be true, but the latest arc in the anime is just pretty incredible animation wise, especially for a weekly anime. In fact there just aren't any other long running weekly anime that have animation this good.

Spoilers, but I imagine you don't care about that, but check out this. There's a lot of scenes like this in the latest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12JwimgYHm0&t=44s

Remember, this is a weekly shonen. It's actually unbelievable that they can eek out quality this good. You can find better examples from one-off anime or movies, sure.

How much money does that guy have? I don't watch him but always see clickbait stuff like I Gave A Million Dollars To My Uber Driver or whatever. It's nice I guess if he is genuinely giving stuff away but kinda distressing that he even has so much in the first place the can do it

It's all marketing. E.g. BigCompany gives you $10k in marketing budget. Instead of a bunch of billboard ads or conventional media, you just make content where you give people $5k. It's a pretty clever strategy that requires literally zero creativity.

He's not a rich trust fund kid or anyhting, as far as I know.

I've swiped right on 50 girls on tinder every 12 hours for the past week. That's 700 girls. Out of all that time and effort, I only match with one girl. I sent her a message. And she never replied.

  1. Delete your tinder account. Tinder hates power users and their algorithm penalises guys like you especially. You've fucked it completely.
  2. Create a new account. This time think holistically about your photos and description and the kind of impression it gives about you and not just how your jawline looks in X photo. Even better, get some feedback from people who know you and people who don't.
  3. Use it less often. 50 swipes right swipes in a day? Dude. You're cycling through bots at this point. Try and do 10, 20 swipes a day max, left or right.
  4. Only - and this is the most important bit - ONLY swipe right on the girls you actually would seriously want to date or talk to. Be brutal. Swipe like women do. No, no, no, no, hmm maybe actually no, no no no, yes.
You'll do better

Feminism is fine but I'm kind of suspicious of how some feminists say that feminism will advance genuine men's rights issues and others say that it's not up to feminism to do those, but at the same time might argue that men's rights issues don't exist or shouldn't be a priority for anyone...

LIke, which is it? Can't have it all these ways. Men should have a space to talk about and promote genuine men's issues, and I don't think we need to sit back and wait for feminism to do it, especially when so many feminists are quite dismissive of them in general.

Note, I'm not talking about that MRA shit that is basically just an excuse to push a misogynistic agenda. Equally the fact that such a thing exists doesn't dismiss the idea that men have anything real to worry about.
