Canyonero! (Unexplained fires are matters for the courts)
Oh no! The Commie-Nazis!
(Someone needed to say it)
Ergo proxy is best described as existentialism depicted in animation. Aside from the first few episodes and the last one, it spends the bulk of the series discussing philosophy of existence and one's raison d'etre. The point of the show is to get the viewer to question reality and that assigning moral value to existence is pointless. It's not everyone's cup of tea.
I liked the fact it was different and effectively adapted the ideas of existentialism into a palatable format for most people. The cyberpunk aspects add more entertainment value, unlike other literature on the subject (ie: Camus' The Outsider).
Can we sacrifice him to the US? I will gladly offer him as tribute.
Next they'll be pushing for the miasma theory of disease and the 4 humours as valid theories. Get your leeches ready- some blood letting will cure your typhoid! (:/ in case it's not apparent)
Your chores have been changed to pet cat.
You'll be pleased to learn that Canada has 2 official national sports: hockey and lacrosse.
There's an entire anti-ai community on Lemmy (fuck ai). It shows up on my main page regularly.
Battle Royale (original Japanese version). The plot and development is horrifying in its own right, and after it ends and the credits rolled, the class picture is shown. It's absolutely gutting (I bawled - I have never cried after a psychological horror film before or since this movie).
How is Lena treated by her? Is this a respectful relationship where boundaries are respected? I don't feel that some some self-aggrandized messages are enough evidence by themselves to make a clear evaluation of the situation.
If the relationship is toxic, absolutely block and move on. If there's no other major concerns at the moment, monitor it and let Lena know she can come to you if she needs help or advice.
You are demonstrating symptoms of bulimia. There are better, healthier ways to lose weight that do not have long term negative impacts (messed up digestion, ruined teeth, poor relationship with food). Weight fluctuations are normal, especially if you're still on puberty, which ends around 21. It's also okay to like food!
Your parents (and probably others) are concerned about you and want to help you. You deserve better health and happiness that will come with a healthy relationship with food.
I wish you all the best in your recovery.
(Not my cat)
Met this cat in my strata complex today chilling on some steps. It was largely indifferent, until my camera was ready and some screaming children were running its way. Even then it didn't run away! Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make this cat's acquaintance again.
I've had most these for 1-2 years and love how crazy they look.
I thought it was just another leaf growing, but to my surprise it was a bloom stalk. It lasted less than 24 hours before expiring, and a second opened up. It's always cool to get surprise blooms!
Saw this guy chilling on my deck railing, and as soon as the camera came out, he struck this pose.
This floofy boi befriended me while on a walk around my strata. He's friendly and wants all the pets and scratches.
My lithops have been in various stages of splitting for the past few months. They have decided to show the process all in one pot! The potting medium is perlite.
I saved this plant from my office 6 months ago because it had nearly no leaves, and now she's green and growing in a unique way. If this is what healthy looks like, it's all good with me.
Despite good brushing and flossing, I had to get braces at 15 for spacing. My brother had similar but less severe spacing. You are not at any fault- you simply lost what I call the "genetic lottery".
You might be able to find a program, non-profit or dental college that can provide braces at a reduced price. I also know many of my friends as adults who had success with Invisalign (I don't know the cost).
Anyone who truly loves or cares about you will not think your teeth are a deal breaker. People's teeth are not picture perfect or blindingly white without some degree of cosmetic work.
