discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[quarterwealth]

The commercialization of Valentine's Day can be traced back to trends started by influential corporations and producers. One of the earliest examples dates back to 1861, when notable chocolatier Richard Cadbury launched the “fancy box” campaign. From heart-shaped candy to jewelry, this extreme holiday-driven consumerism is proving to have lasting effects on the environment and people's relationships with materialistic gift giving. Valentine's Day is the second largest materialistic holiday and is a massive contributor to consumerism.

Hmmm the oysters of the midwest.

From what I've heard, the people in the midwest stay as far away as possible from afro-anything.

It's everyone -- Father's day and St Patrick's day are not female biased but are still commercially based.

It is like Real Estate -- location location location -- Iowa?, Missouri? Illinois anywhere south of Peoria? Indiana? -- Hell yes. I remember in my 20s traveling with a black friend where he was not allowed in a restaurant in Indiana. Thankfully a lot of that thinking has eased -- but it is still there. I bought my house 35 years ago - in the original deed it stated that no one could own a home site in this development unless they were white. That part is thankfully ignored now -- but the wording is still in there. If you are not white? you can still climb the ladder of success -- but you start a whole lot further down that ladder than a lot of people realize.

It is mid. It came out at a time when anime was very niche and everyone watched the same trash, so seeing it was more of a community experience. Of course everyone with nostalgia goggles on is going to aggressively disagree.

Never really could get past the first few episodes. I like the whole mecha vs esoteric incomprehensible entities bit, but the psychological drama bit just bores me too much.

For sure. Bigotry in any form is repulsive. I was just going for some cheeky word play while having a laugh at the stereotypical ignorance of people from rural/secluded regions. Swing and a miss I guess.

So I've watched the entirety of Neon Genesis Evangelion in one go now and I feel like I got brain damage somewhere between the end of the show and the 3rd movie. Is the entire thing just an anti-autist propaganda piece?
But honestly I'm glad I finally watched it. Over the years I tried to watch it 3-4 times and always stopped somewhere between episode 6-10. But now that it's finished I have to say very mid.

Yes I said it, Evangelion is mid.

i never understand the story of evangelion. and i feel like being trolled when they suddenly change the story in the movie.

Name yourself Mr. Tearbro and I MIGHT believe it.

As for the reaction... No idea. Is that not the Much Love reaction? Lol

I wouldn't really call it mid, but yeah it definitely is nostalgia that made people like it so much. I think there is merit on watching it once in your life, or maybe I just love being trolled by Hideaki.

That was a nice nap I had. Hope everyone's evening/day is well.

Stealing that for my collection -- Thank you!

That is why we have better ways of keeping you here than mere shackles

I just played through MGS 1-3 for the first time a couple of months ago. It's a great series. I distracted myself from the The Phantom Pain with Ghost of Tsushima, but plan on getting back to it soon. I know it's kind of lame but I've been watching Metal Girl Solid on YouTube lately and I recommend it to anyone who has played the original Metal Gear.

I'll have to check that out. I loved the Phantom Pain, but I wish Kojima could have finished it like he wanted too.

There isn't anything wrong with that. 80's were a very diverse era in music. From Metal to hip hop to the birth of grunge, in the late 80's.
And if you think about it the start of Nu-metal with this lil gem.
