Just curious: why completely original anime?

I assume it's so you're not left without a resolution to the story or because completely original titles tend to have little if any filler.

Not a big fan of either version tbh.

Close to 25. I'm quickly approaching the same age as when my mom had me. I'm not a sucker though, so I'm never having kids.

I miss that. It was like you had a connection with all the people who read it before you.

2017: moved to alaska, living as a neet currently

1997: in high school, had a girlfriend
1992: 11 years old

neet?

Not in Employment, Education, or Training, I think. Basically a hermit.

Another is pretty sad if you get attached to the characters.

2017: typical, dull post-college life.
2012: energetic and hopeful college student studying, uh... general sciences for secondary education (my second out of several majors).
2007: High school sophomore. Height of emo/scene phase.
2002: Think I played baseball this year. That sucked.
1997: Kindergarten. Got in trouble because I saw a ghost.
1992: Baby. Probably shit my pants constantly.

A 20 year old friend of mine got a 16 year old pregnant and he didn't go to jail.

I called the ending pretty early in the episode. Love how the commercial was a complete fakeout. Really good episode overall.

I wish those had meat/more meat in them. The shrimp flavor ones sometimes have literally one tiny shrimp, the size of my pinky nail, and that's it.

Even on Real Survivor, it's not much of an issue. Most of the difficulty of RE is in just figuring out what to do.

3G, ouch. I remember when that was the hottest shit, but now it's garbage.

Novelizations often come out before movies. IIRC, the novelization of the first Star Wars movie actually came out months before the film did.

(Really weak b8 there though)

That moment where you fall for a @Complete_Idi0t post and try to sound smart in reply

Maybe you don't understand the term "bait"? I'd wager that I sound a lot smarter than you.

Related to the topic at hand: there have been a few instances of novelizations of movies based on books. The 2001 Planet of the Apes, for example, had a novelization.

TC makes stupid threads, hence his username, and it's his gimmick. You are thinking into it too much. He feeds off of the gullible like you, and it's entertaining. You are making it worse on yourself, stop while you are barely ahead.

Gullible because I didn't play into his gimmick? I'm sorry that I've ruined your little game of playing along with baiters and shitposters. People like you are what leads to the downfall of board quality.

(Mediocre bait though. B- for effort.)

Starting tenth grade.

One thing I haven't seen pointed out:

AVGN is, objectively and conventionally, more attractive than NC. I don't mean that as I, or really any sizeable portion of either of their audiences, watch for that reason. It is a known fact that attractive people just seem more likeable/successful. This even goes for straight men observing/interacting with another man.

NC looks like a creepy weirdo. AVGN looks like a ordinary guy who'd set up your VCR for you.

Seven. I really need to step up my game.

D

I'm hanging out with a friend at our LGS. I'll watch it on Hulu tomorrow though.

Really creepy. If a girl called me that, it'd kill the mood.

Abandonware?

Honestly, I barely have anything downloaded.
Physically, I have a ton of games, probably a hundred books, and a handful of anime, cartoons, and movies I could watch.

Waiting for the Internet to be set up each time I moved was brutal though.

I personally like the braless look.

Both are mens.
(technically, but they don't look like mens)
Hint: zipper is on different sides in mens and womens clothes.

I thought that was buttons on shirts.

I'd let her put a bank statement on me, if you know what I mean.

She hot

I pee sitting down. Female.

Female
"(1) : of, relating to, or being the sex that typically has the capacity to bear young or produce eggs"


https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/female

So, infertile women, women who've had a hysterectomy or ovarian cancer, none of these are "female" to you.

Did you not see the word typically in the definition? Try harder next time. Such women did not even "typically" have that capacity. They actually had it, and then removed it or suffered a disease that removed it.

Some women are born without a uterus.

By your own definition of "typical," Say still qualifies. Troll harder next time.

Drag kings are a thing.

Kind of an awful place. They pierce infant ears and don't clean the gun well enough.

6'2"

I'm a foot shorter than that and I need someone to reach the top shelf.

She sort of looks like Amber Portwood when she was skinny.

I think she's a reprehensible person. She's not a good role model. I'm not one of those people that think she has any responsibility to be anything she wasn't pre-transition. Just because you're a woman who was AMAB doesn't mean you can't hold conservative beliefs. She has a shitton of privilege due to being rich and white and an attitude of "Fuck you I got mine." None of that makes her less of a woman. A shitty human being, sure. Attack her for that, not for misguided transphobia.

Looks gross to me, but you do you bro.

Most guys look better with long hair. Short hair looks great on a woman with a nice face.

This guy is a complete shitheel, clearly. Some people deserve to die.

I don't think, as humans, we have the capability to decide whether or not someone lives or dies. Even one innocent man being put to death is too many.

When I was 15 I participated in a womanless beauty pageant

I was fully expecting something NAMBLA themed.

Womanless beauty pageants aren't super un-common. We had one at my high school.

I can't take anyone seriously who uses cis to describe someone.

We don't have a special word for people who aren't otherkin, so why this?

I never use that so-called prefix. I hear it and all I think about is how spiteful it sounds. Non-trans works well for me.

Cis is the opposite of trans though. I don't personally have a problem being described as cis.

That's because you're part of the problem.

Problem?

I feel a little sad that I can't understand their language at all while they likely have at least a serviceable knowledge of mine.

I feel so bad for that child. He's going to be so disadvantaged when he hits school. He'll probably be ostracized too.

I think I'm clear proof that you don't have to know a transgender person to use the term cisgender.

You are odd.

If someone says cisgender, that means they are acknowledging trans people.
If they are acknowledging trans people without trans people there, it seems so try-hard to me.

I mean, whatever works for you I suppose.

That's awfully rude of you to say.

I'd say inclusive, but that's just me.

If that makes you happy, Say, keep doing it.

Personally, cisgender is also shorter and easier to say.

It's a good way of outting one's self too. No "cisgender" person will use the term in real life. At least no one who is outside of the LGBT. The moment I hear someone say it, I think someone in that group is a transsexual. Seriously.

I'm a heterosexual cisgender man. I use those terms to describe myself in real life.

I don't quite understand the transsexual connection though. Could you explain what you mean by that?

If you have to disclose that to be safe, you are doing life wrong. I wouldn't give anyone like that the time of day let alone let them touch me.

People can surprise you sometimes.

I think a woman with down syndrome could be called "neurodivergent" and a woman without down syndrome could be called "neurotypical." I see those particular labels relatively often for discussions on various mental disabilities.

I suppose we have a fundamental disagreement on the purpose/need for labels. It helps some people understand and accept who they are. Like people who put "I'm a demi ace transwoman" at the top of their profile. I wouldn't do it, but I understand that it's also a thing of being proud of who they are.

Additionally, cisgender seems appropriate for discussions about, well, cis privilege. A cisgender woman doesn't have to consider whether or not to disclose what she was born with in regards to the safety of her life. Surely you agree on that?

You're limiting yourself from understanding why someone would use cisgender. I can see why you might think that it excludes transgender women from being "real women" but that's not what I mean.

Cis and trans women are both women. Another example following your diagram, but without a picture:

I'm live in Alabama. My friend Jim lives in Alabama. We both like college football. So, we both fall under the umbrella "Alabamian Football Fan."

I'm a fan of the University of Alabama and Jim's a fan of Auburn University. Thus, we're in two different subgroups under the umbrella category "Alabamian Football Fan." That doesn't change the fact that we both are Alabamian Football Fans; we're just different types.

Obviously, it's not a 1:1 comparison, but I hope you understand what I mean.

Well, Say, the truth is that you will never be a cisgender woman. You're still a woman. You're the only one putting these limitations on yourself.

I think it's just a bad term. So the opposite of transportation would be cisportation? ... So if I was sitting in a restaurant, I would be using cisportation?... Nah, I am simply not using transportation at that time. What about trans fats. Does this mean that all the good fat is cis fat? ....


I mean, if cis is the opposite of trans and it was to be applied wherever you were looking for an opposite of "trans", it just seems stupid. Saying one thing is simply "not transgender", "not trans fat" and "not transportation" seems more logical.

Well, "transportation" likely doesn't have the same language origin as the word "transgender." Honestly, that's the most moronic, slippery slope argument I've ever heard. You are aware that there are cis fats, right? And that the prefix has to do with its structure. I wish I could tell you more, but it's been at least six years since I took a chemistry class.

"Not transgender" sounds more negative than "cisgender" to me. "Not x" sounds inherently negative in this context, honestly. It sounds like, "No, I'm not transgender, I'm normal." Cisgender isn't "normal"; it's just the opposite of transgender.

If you don't want to use the word, that's fine. I personally have no issue being called a cisgender male. It bothers me when some people use it as an insult, but people do the same with "transgender" and I'm sure you don't stop using that word.
