So many of them have politics, discussions of religion, war, environmentalism, etc. i.e., any of the Gundam Wing series, any Studio Ghibli movie (always environmentalism and/or politics involved), Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop (they regularly bring up politics and commercialism), Outlaw Star, etc. Anime doesn't ignore the serious topics. It just provides a different avenue for depicting them from different perspectives.

[@OuchingTigerLimpingDragon]

I think that the guy pissed at his "immature" girlfriend (and seriously, you're 9-10 years apart; what did you expect?) is just mad that he's lost his leverage over her. I mean, she was a 20-something student sharing an apartment with 4 other people, and he was in his 30s with a stable job. That's just an inherent power imbalance. She probably had little to no fun money, so he was the one in charge of what frivolous things she got, and she'd always "owe him" in a sense for anything he helped her with or bought her. Now she's not reliant on him at _all,_ and I suspect he's also jealous that she has so much disposable income after her financial goals for the month are met. Oh, and that she's not lavishly spending it on _him_ (because she owes him) or saving up to buy "herself" a house.

[@david2869]

However, he is right about the renting. If you have the capability to save up money and you are renting, you will want to eventually, the sooner the better, buy a place to live. Every year you rent you are throwing away tens of thousands of dollars, or more, and just giving it to your landlord for absolutely nothing, and that's after they pay for maintenance and taxes on the property. You can't even take rent paid off your taxes.

[@rolfs2165]

@@david2869 On the other hand, renting means that a) _you_ don't have to bother with maintenance and b) you can at any time tell your landlord "I'll be moving out end of next month, toodeloo." For some people, that's worth more than owning the property.

[@david2869]

[@pigcatapult]

Also, the reason men traditionally pay for the meal is bc traditionally women were expected to be entirely financially dependent on men and therefore as incapable of paying for their own meals as a child would be. Being equal to men means having the same responsibilities as men, like paying for your own food if you have an income.

I think the ideal dating structure try to aim for is, of the first three dates, one it split evenly (or potentially covered by a third party if being set up on a blind date by them), one is planned and paid for entirely by one person, and the other totally planned and paid for by the other person.

[@paigeharrison3909]

While I made less than my husband when we started dating, I lived with my parents and he was paying for an apartment. So if I wanted to go somewhere a bit out of his budget, I paid. Seems simple.

[@darcieclements4880]

I would actually appreciate a guy asking about the budget. Because I'll be honest, I would bring it up because I have every intention of splitting the bill always. The only time anybody gets to pay for food is if they trick me, or the weird game that we play when my family is involved and everyone is constantly trying to pay for the bill for everyone for some weird reason. When that happens basically I keep tally and make sure that I pay back by paying for another meal. Yes I literally keep a tally. For example my friend Quan has mastered the art of somehow managing to pay the bill anytime I go to the bathroom, so I owe him two events now. But I'm wise to it now, so I'm going to go to the bathroom before the event and then talk to the person who has the bill ahead of time, lol.

[@katie6731]

Sending you hugs, love, and extra spoons! (If you want them, of course.) I agree with Morgan; I am so proud of you, too. It takes a heroic level of courage to admit that you have struggled with EDs. Anyone who says something stupid or hateful to you about your medical history is revealing _their own_ lack of empathy, intelligence, compassionate curiosity, morality, strength, consideration, and thoughtfulness. The fault is in them, _never_ in you. They are so weakly insecure that they'd rather hurt people than ask a question. Meanwhile, you've not only overcome the biology which made you susceptible to developing EDs, trained your brain to develop new pathways, managed your emotional and physical responses any time you experienced elevated stress and/or relapse, overcome the inertia of force of habit, accepted that there have been consequences from the EDs, believed in your self-worth, and fought through the bureaucracy of doctors and the medical system to get yourself help. Most of all, you've continuously made the choice to value yourself enough to fight back against the darkness which tries to consume you, knowing that the battle may become easier with time and practice, but it doesn't just go away. You're a damn tough rockstar; you deserve to be celebrated! 🩵🤗🫂💖

I also had a lot of muscle which meant I was heavier than I looked but it was mostly just related to other mental health issues. That particular issue does still come up occasionally but I couldn't help but laugh recently when I went our drinking with a group of people and ended up overdoing it which resulted in me throwing up in the street, a couple of people said something along the lines of "wow, I've never seen someone throw up silently and cleanly before" and I had to explain to them that oh yeah, that's from the bulimia where I had to be silent because the walls in the house were paper thin.

it's sad, because the worst part of it is that boobs is only fat there. like a ball lof fat hanging. U can lose them due to an illness, anorexia or excessive muscle mass. And you're not less of a woman for losing them in whatever way, whether temporal or forever(im talking about cis women who lost theirs) it's not even an organ determined by dna, because if a woman, or a transgender man take testosterone, they totally disspapear or partially, plus if you train your chest even more. What makes them be boobs is the hormone, if u stop taking it, or you supress the hormone with pills, it will disappear. By the logic of boobs equals woman, an anorexic and bodybuilder woman, both with barely to no boobs, arent women anymore. 🤡 hormones play like an 80% in one's appearence, if you take the opposite sex hormones eventually u wont look like a woman or man anymore. So yeah its stupid to reduce a piece of fat to a sex. It'd be different if you said xx=female and xy=male(in terms of sex), but its not even that

[@darcieclements4880]

Oh man, be careful with that. My allergies were manageable with cross contact when I was younger but now I can't actually go to buffets at all because they get contaminated with the stuff I'm allergic to and I can't tell and I end up getting really sick. I sure hope that that never happens to you because I just, I just cannot even imagine having sensory issues with food on top of food allergies that would just be terrible if you also had to be worried about cross contact. On the bright side, I do not eat garbage because I have to cook everything from scratch so almost no processed foods and almost no restaurant food. I can eat sushi at restaurants where they understand specifically what my allergies are because the sushi bar doesn't contain a lot of what I'm allergic to. I can eat some dishes at vegan places. That's it. (Mammals product allergy sucks)

@@darcieclements4880 My food allergies are bell pepper (yet not spicy peppers, so I guess whatever makes bell peppers sweet instead of spicy is what I'm allergic to), pork, cinnamon, whole wheat, and artificial sweeteners. Out of those only the bell peppers and cinnamon causes difficulty with breathing/throat swelling, The others cause severe GI distress and in regards to the whole wheat I also break out in small, painful pimples all around my mouth. Long as I stick to meats like seafood, chicken, and beef, don't get any refried beans (usually fried in pork lard), I'm usually pretty safe. Sadly, a lot of people think I'm making up some or even all of my allergies. As a kid I even ended up in the hospital when adults bullied me into drinking hot chocolate made with artificial sweeteners. And one of my brothers has, in the past, tried to force me to eat pork. And I avoid vegetarian/vegan places as they tend to have only whole wheat products and things with bell pepper.

Oh, had to find that myself (on Facebook or pay to join a patient advocacy group for the illness or type of illness) and then the doctors say support groups are just complainers. Which is inherintly untrue, I've learnt SO MUCH from those groups, both scientific research on my illness and just how to live with it without losing hope. Those groups have literally saved lives, and mourned several losses. The community is amazing. Doctors though... If the support groups are so bad, offer some "better" support groups then? Like you do for the relatives. Or better yet, have some empathy for your patients. I've been to doctors who's just dismissed me because they don't have knowledge of my illness. They don't look it up, they just decide not to believe in it? Wild. So I started bringing an older, male relative to doctors visits. All of a sudden the tune changed, and there was sympathy!

There was nothing else in the photo but them, the signs, and the octopus. And it was purposefully placed at the edge of an armrest (not just sitting in the background with other stuff). Context is important. Just like the "A Okay" hand gesture got taken on by white supremacists. If you're using it to say "yum, delicious pizza!" Well then, you're fine. But right-wing politicians have used it at rallies/hearings to show a sign of support for white supremacy. People aren't trying to say that octopus dolls are bad. They're fine. What they're getting upset about is that she had something in her photo that given the context can represent antisemitism.

Remindes me of the TIK TOK video that the girl posted where she sat in the man car and said: Do you think this belongs (pointing to her big boned body) there and wouldn't leave the car (the update showes, that he had made a reservation to a fancy resturant, but she had been so late to the date, that they were far too late to it)

[@alyssabaerne9508]

That list of 'bad dates' is just a massive red flag with 'extremely high maintance brat' painted on it.

24:53 as a girl from Scotland, I can confirm this is accurate

The Click is just feeling the English energy lmao

I think the worst part about sNipewolf situation isn't even her response. Like, yeah, it's very corporate and scummy, but when that came out, KZbin had already PUSHED SOME OF THE BLAME onto Jacksfilms, by claiming "both parties were at fault" It's horrible and disgusting that they would do that, let alone not follow through with the intended punishment, which was tweeted out a few days prior. (Someone asked Team KZbin what the punishment would be if they were to dox someone on Twitter, and were told they would be removed from KZbin, as that's a violation of their TOS) So I don't even think Snipswolf is the worst offender in this. Because if a criminal does a crime, and isn't punished for said crime, there is not chance for them to learn from it.

[@11epicnoob]

Yeah! We need to keep the pressure until she is gone for good! That shitty punishment literally says "It's JacksFilms' fault for his doxxing. Sssniperwolf will face zero consequences because she makes us a lot of money." AND "If you are making us a load of money, you could commit ANY crime and get away with it! Even murder and grooming minors!"

[@divinita6012]

For the lady that is making a decent amount of money and getting a rainbow freaking computer, **I** would be willing to replace her man and I'm straight! She sounds like a lot of fun and responsible as hell.

[@foxinabox5103]

Ikr! I like Men but a gf who enjoyed cooking, had a lot of fun hobbies, and made a lot of money?! Thats the perfect partner!!

[@jenniferbelveal4331]

Accusing her of being immature for buying things she likes, even though she has taken care of all the important things like bills, investments, etc., is just such a tell. He's jealous and feels entitled to be the one that should be getting to decide what to do with the 'disposable income' that SHE is making. Gah! Pathetic! She definitely has better options.

[@Saranda4787]

​@@foxinabox5103 cooking is a basic life skill. Would she still be the perfect partner if she didn't make that money though? Everyone is making a big deal out of it, but if we (women) dare to demand that our male partner make a lot of money, we're gold diggers and whatnot. Money is an illusion. It's not real. It doesn't matter. It only seems like it does. One day you're all going to realise that, but by then it'll be too late.

[@foxinabox5103]

@@Saranda4787 well, she would still be a good partner even if she didnt make the money. And i didnt intend to make this into a gendered issue. The point is that she seemed like a fun person, who had a sense of self and his bf is missing out on that.

[@Laurelin9222]

The guy at 35:00 sounds like he hates his girlfriends personality. I hope she dumps him. If anybody insulted the Tolkien stuff i bought, they would be immediately blocked.

[@johannageisel5390]

I don't know what kind of person she is, but from the info we have - doing well academically, being successful in her career, being responsible, being a lot of fun - she sounds like a real catch. That guy does not know what he has. If he is that bothered by her spending habits, then the two simply aren't a good fit. I also hope she leaves him - or maybe he realizes he is looking for a different type of woman and leaves by himself.

as someone who is young and owns a public discord server that's currently getting bigger (its nearly 200 atm) I'm so glad I have very trusted online friends around my age and that they suggested adding mod applications and moderation and logs early on when there was only 20 people because it's very easy for me now that it's somewhat growing

[@ceilinh6004]

My first date with my husband was at a church. There was an exhibit of nativity scenes from all around the world (It was mid-December) and it was an amazing date. It was basically a museum date that happened to be in a (gorgeous) church. Bonus: There was a blizzard, so we were literally the only people there. We went to a hole in the wall pizza place afterward, and were also the only people there. 😂

[@heatherduke7703]

So wholesome! We should make the “finding something local and free” activity date the norm instead of the boring coffee/drinks first date

[@stevensiferd7104]

Porch pirating exists in places where delivery drivers are on a schedule. To complete their rounds within the scheduled times, they have to leave packages on the front porch and continue their delivery runs, rather than ring the doorbell and get addressees to sign for them. Once upon a time, if you didn't answer the door, they made out a Post-It style slip saying they were sorry they missed you, where and when you could pick it up (if you needed it that day), and when they would next attempt a delivery.

[@GreyPunkWolf]

Delivery drivers in France have a strict schedule too, and you get an email AND a paper in your mailbox telling you where to pick your delivery up if you aren't there when they show up. The planning simply accounts for stuff like that. It's not a very chill job and it's still schedule-bound, but at least I've never had to worry about my stuff being stolen. It's not an excuse, wtf america.

[@khills]

@@GreyPunkWolfit’s also not true that you don’t get missed delivery notices - I got one last week. But a lot of deliveries, like from Amazon, don’t require signatures, and drivers are allergic to ringing doorbells.

[@hmnhntr]

Ugh. But the slips are such a shitty system for households where everyone works. The pickup locations don't stay open late enough to go to after work if you have any kind of commute! And it's not like I can stay home from work just to receive a package. It's not a tenable system.

[@strawberry_punch_art]

we still have that here, but we also delivery machines, where you can pick up your stuff 24/7, but you have 48 h from delivery. Just use a qr code from the email confirmation

[@hmnhntr]

​@@strawberry_punch_artNow THAT is a real solution.

[@kiterafrey]

Okay, but him asking her what her budget is was kinda of nice though. When I was single I would always offer to pay for myself, and if I wasn't going to go for a second date or ONS I wouldn't let anyone pay for me. It would be nice to know the budget in advance to make sure I had the right amount so I could offer to pay without worrying.

“The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” DOES contain every letter of the English alphabet… but so does “Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.” does too and it’s much cooler.
