Always have water, often have a second beverage with caffeine

And while I hate that, it isn’t going to result in me buying any of said shit tier snack

Huh, neat. Yeah, I’m American so there was no tradition or anything with my story, I was just buzzed at a show

It’s not very strange per se, but I stole a completely regular unmarked glass, by accident, because I finished it right as the next band came on and being kinda drunk I just crammed the glass into my coat pocket so I could clap and generally be enthusiastic

Still have the glass, haha. Can’t think of anything else I’ve brought home besides maybe a napkin or flyer or something

The guyliner really brings them out, and I think he thinks that’s good

To make driving more appealing, I suggest living in an unwalkable American Midwest purgatory where there’s fuck-all to do but watch tractors circle fields or meth

You will begin to associate the positive emotions of escape and freedom with driving, which will make you enjoy it a lot more

Your mileage may vary, but it worked great for me

but if they aren’t working for you, pay someone else

My realtor was never on time to a single showing. He never knew the answer to any question without taking time to look it up himself. He couldn’t remember my specifications and his reading comprehension was non-existent as I had to repeat myself many, many times to get any kind of point across.

If I hadn’t gotten my house when I did, I would have dropped him. If I were any other kind of business owner and one of my employees acted like that people would think I was a fucking moron for keeping them on.

Your realtor is your employee. Don’t be afraid to fire them for shitty performance.

Chiming in as someone who actually owns a few different anime on DVD/blu-ray.

My whole thing is that I like good media. Anime is a medium. There’s good anime out there. As many have already said, those’re few and far between because the vast majority of people working in the medium seem determined to pigeonhole it as genre trash and perv shit.

I kinda stopped watching anime early in my 20s. The late 00s into the 10s seemed like the absolute worst period of time for worthwhile anime being made. I’ve sat through a few more current big-name ones since then and shit hasn’t improved.

So yeah, I don’t hate anime as a medium, I just hate like 99% of the medium’s content
