It wasn’t until only several years ago that I learned about Tove Jansson’s Moomin stories. Since then, they’ve become some of my favorite little characters. You can find full episodes of the old anime on YouTube and snuffkin is easily my favorite of the bunch. I want his hat for myself.

Rest in peace. Thank you for all that you gave us, Shawna.

It’s a fair question, but it makes me want to ask why downvotes even matter to anyone. They are usually outnumbered by upvotes in the first place, & aren’t even federated across instances (at least on Kbin).

It’s never about creating a better society, just oppression and exploitation. The more criminals you easily fabricate, the more indentured servants you easily get.

Well, I hope we get a list of businesses that comply so hopefully I can just uninstall those.

I don’t know about those other shows, but I think that’s a perfect approach for One Piece. It’s just silly kid fun from start to finish.

Met my wife through a dating app. I was just honest about who I was, what my own shortcomings were, and the kind of person that interests me. Was indifferent to short-term or long-term preferences. Only got a a very small number of hits, but they were much more on the mark as far as I was concerned than if I just went to a bar and tried to meet people. I didn’t try to push myself or anyone I met into anything heavier than food or a flick, and just let the friendship grow into whatever she was comfortable with. When I was bored, I’d ask her if she wanted to meet up for lunch or something. That was it.

I think it helped that, while lonely, I was perfectly fine being without a partner at that time. I felt happy with my life, and I didn’t want to give anything up to make someone else happy. You gotta love yourself first before loving anyone else, otherwise it just isn’t fair to anybody.

One fun thing about kbin is that websites that get posted frequently can be followed or blocked like their own magazine. This means if you’ve got a bunch of bot accounts posting links to the same dumb site, you can just go to the magazine of that site and just block that instead of playing whack-a-mole with bots.

I don’t know anything about One Piece other than the fact it’s really long and super popular.

I heard the Netflix show was pleasing fans so I threw it on when my wife was around and we both ended up getting into it. We haven’t finished the whole season yet, but we will.

It reminds me of watching power rangers back in the 90s as a kid. The dialog is really elementary and clearly targets kids, but the character acting is endearing, and it’s fun to look up the original illustrations because the casting and costumes are so spot on.

I’m particularly fond of how each episode goes through some kind of story and character development, but always climaxes on some big fight scene, just like in the old power rangers shows. It’s like soul food for me.

Couldn’t they just make it look like something that isn’t an ad? Such as a fake video or false “download” button?

Sorry for the late reply. I got a new job and the work load is pretty overwhelming. It’s fun, but there is a lot of prep work and very little in terms of help or remuneration on that end.
