I enjoy some of the darker takes on Batman, but I agree that The Animated Series is the definitive take on the character.
Just tried it from a US server. Kiwifarms is loading up fine.
Anyone know if he was vaccinated?
It looks like he lost out on a role in the Broadway show, because he wasn't vaccinated. Though he could have always changed his mind later.
Most regular books are much more reasonably priced than most textbooks, as well.
Hellsing, Spice and Wolf, Trinity Blood, Attack on Titan, Gunslinger Girl, and Baccano all have majority white casts, but they're a drop in the bucket compared to Japanese-majority anime.
And you certainly can't share scholarly articles, the majority of which contain publicly funded research.
Yeah, I can think of a few anime series that have a majorly white cast, but those a very much the minority. The vast, vast majority of anime series are about Japanese people.
I can confirm that switching my VPN connection to Amsterdam, did allow me to get through to Kiwifarms.
That's the real answer. There were periods when it was less blatant, but yellow journalism has been the rule, not the exception, throughout history.
Buried in that article, it says that Colchicine is also used to prevent atrial fibrillation, which can be a complication of heart failure.

I just misread that as "amputee," and spent a solid minute analyzing her photos trying figure out what on earth she had amputated.
Something happened culturally with the rise of Facebook. Suddenly, it became socially acceptable to share massive amounts of personal information online. Before Facebook, people used screen names and were very reticent to share any kind of personal data. I spent my teenage years on the TeenSpot message board, and it was years before I shared my first name with people; I never gave out my last name.
Copyright should not last nearly as long as it does. IPs should enter the public domain after 50 years, tops. That way anyone can make their version of the IP, and people can decide what iteration to follow based on quality.
The biggest issue with IPs right now is that companies that seek to destroy and subvert them have monopoly rights.
That's the ultimate goal of all of these subversive remakes. They don't care if the product is financially successful. It's like a suicide bomb on these cultural institutions, some of which have lasted generations.
Using the term "delivery service" instead of dealer, normalizes it too. It makes it sound like they got their cocaine through DoorDash.
Gender has only become a medical term because we, as a society, became squeamish about the word "sex." There are two sexes in the human race, male and female. Gender has its roots in linguistics. It referred to the grammatical gender of nouns (masculine, feminine, or neuter.)
Gender then became a euphemism for biological sex. Then it became a term for the expectations and social role that related to a particular sex. Then, it became an abstract "identity" that was distinctive from one's actual sex or even the role traditionally associated with the new identity. Now, it's become a catch-all for everything related to the sexes. It can refer to biological sex exclusively, mental identity, or anything tangentially related to them.
why do it in fatal amounts and why do it without telling them?
That's actually one of the big issues with fentanyl. The fatal dosage amount for someone who has no prior tolerance to opiates is ridiculously low. A small dusting might actually be enough.
Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné saga was one of the most influential works in the grimdark fantasy movement.
How many will take it though? It's an open secret that military women deliberately get pregnant to avoid being deployed.
Sometimes, albeit more rarely, it could get more serious though, with groping people's breasts/genitalia, or whacking people on the asses with those stupid "Yaoi Paddles" that were popular a while back.
I agree, that it wasn't like people were getting raped on the convention floor, but there needed to be some kind of initiative to tell people that they still have to act like civilized human being at conventions.
Honestly, as a longtime con-goer, the "Cosplay Is Not Consent" movement was actually needed.
Most people that you meet at conventions are friendly, normal people. However, there is a certain subset that I would call "socially retarded." Some of these people have sense of personal hygiene; others have no sense of appropriate behavior with strangers. Add in the anonymity that empowers people with ill intent, and things can go south. I have several friends of both sexes who experienced sexual harassment or even (minor) assault at conventions.
How people behave depends a lot on the specific type of con. In my experience, horror cons tend to be the best in this regard; anime cons tend to be the worst. This behavior is also not confined to males. Some of the worst offenders were teenage girls. "Glomping" (tackle-hugging) strangers because they were dressed as a certain character was almost female-exclusive.
Overall, the atmosphere of cons, after CINC became semi-mainstream, improved in my experience.
In my experience, 90% of the time it's an innocuous question to make conversation. It's normal to ask someone who their favorite character from a show is, or what their favorite album from a band is.
The other 10% is because people are overprotective of their hobbies. Part of it is because of the recent subversion of fangroups, but it's also because poseurs are annoying. It's disheartening to be really passionate about something, possibly be bullied because of it, amd then have it worn as a cheap, trendy fashion item by people who don't care at all about the thing. Anyone who doesn't fit the mold of your fangroup is going to be vetted. The more stink that they kick up about it, the more they look like a poseur.
I think that this whole issue comes down to women not understanding men's social hierarchies and interactions with each other. Men value competence and knowledge in the fields that they form social groups around. They're perfectly willing to accept a newbie at the bottom of the hierachy, but if you act like hot shit, without being able to back it up, you'll be rejected.
Isn't that what bacha bazi are?
As, a fan of the original show, I enjoyed it. I saw it as a tribute to the show. There's lot of corny humor and there wasn't any wokeness that I could discern. It's about Herman and Lily meeting, but it doesn't follow the particulars of the original canon about their past. It was really a reboot. It wasn't the most amazing thing ever, but I liked it. It was obvious that Rob Zombie liked the original source material. I recommend it if you like the show.
If you're not doing anything shameful, why are you ashamed?
I'm not necessarily opposed to nudity in film, depending on the context. But if it was something with true, artistic value, she wouldn't be up-in-arms about it. When you make something public, it's that, public.
