HELL YEA

HELL yes!

Isn't it funny how all the things required to keep the net in a functional state also just so happen to be bad for kids? Torrents, online spaces, the internet archive. All bad for kids! What are the odds right?

Anyone think it's weird that Japan still censors minors smoking this way? At least in the U.S. when they had someone underage smoke, it was with the intent of showing WHY that's a bad idea. In Japan it's like "There's something going on in this guy's mouth...we can't SAY what it is!"

That top book is a CRAZY find

I have NEVER understood why people are into that lol

I understand why you want to say that. I did genuinely enjoy it, though. I think it has a lot of heart and fun to it

KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

When people say "Old Anime Feels Real" this is what they're talking about. The light? That's the real world shining through the back of the cel. The colors? Real acrylic paint that physically existed somewhere. Each frame was a photograph, & on some level you trust it implicitly.
