“Why do all these beauty brands have us smearing food on our faces?”

Or you’ve been hit by, you’ve been struck by.... Traku-san. 🚚 AND that’s how your Isekai Adventures start.

No. The biggest gripe is the corporate exploitation of Black people and Black culture. Specifically, the concept that a corporation can create a digital “Black” icon—a fake non-human who doesn’t have the lived experience to be Black, who doesn’t genuinely come from or represent Black people or their culture, but is…

Me over here having a conundrum over the rise of AI and if a century down the line we will have a race of semi-sentient beings on our hands.

Record Prodcuers:

I mean jokes and all, I think Live Action Sailor Moon went so hard when they didn’t even have to LOL.

It starts out cringe and cutsey and then, next thing you know [spoilers for a 2003 show I guess?] Episode 50 rolls around and Usagi ends up being possessed by her vengeful Past-Life Self and destroys the world. Sailor…

You should see the original Japanese version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- or as they are well-known in Japan, My Mystical Sempai Kappa. They're completely different! The second season they go to Avalon and meet King Arthur!

Why? Because in the pre-internet era, Americans were even more xenophobic and ignorant of the rest of the world than they are today.

I remember 95-96ish when my brother and I were children full of piss and vinegar and liable to get up at the crack of dawn because there were video games to be played and new cartoons to see.

The WB (later CW) had this block of shows that they aired for a bit that was Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and Beast Wars starting…

I had the opposite reaction where I just could not look away or stop laughing. When Sailor Moon makes her appearance, I just started guffawing and could not stop.

Nah, she already got people sick and committed fraud with the food label she slapped on there. She should be sued and see some jail time for that.

Hell, it’s the same with cars. It’s fine to get excited about finding a 30- or 40-year-old classic sitting almost untouched in a barn or whatever, but just know that, beyond the obvious tires & battery, every single seal, belt, gasket, etc. will need replacement before you even attempt to start it, and have fun…

I guess Nintendo eliminated this issue over the decades, because my NES still hasn’t bricked.

“...these packs, unfortunately, are beyond any of these methods, and will remain fused together, forever.”

I buy the stemless ones.  If they had stems, they’d all be broken.

Soooo...you want McDonald’s franchisees to dump millions of pounds of eco-waste into the ocean because you can’t wait for your plastic crap that you’ll eventually toss in the trash? It’s all crap, man. Grow up and get over it.

Maybe adults should chill the fuck out about pokemon cards in a kid’s meal. My kid completely missed out last time they did this, because a bunch of 38yo’s went and bought multiple happy meals. I was pleasantly surprised when we grabbed him a HM the other day, and they actually had cards in them.

bought two kids meals

This isn’t new or exclusive to pokemon, but what a weird vibe the way things made for children get commodified by adult consumers. I remember my mom and her sister having this exact type of energy back when McDonald’s did their “teenie beanies” thing.

I know Pokemon would bring in more money than Adventure Time. When I wanted the complete set I found it was easier and cheaper to just go to ebay and buy the missing ones I needed.
