The Great Hunger in 1845 - 1852 can’t actually be blamed entirely on the potato blight, there was plenty of food in Ireland that could have - and should have - been distributed amongst the population, but the British kept exporting all of it: peas, butter, cattle, wheat, etc.

They sent in soldiers to guard the ships full of food from the starving men, women and children and interfered with other countries trying to send aid.

It should serve as no surprise then, that Ireland has been so resolutely on the side of Palestine, when Israel is withholding food, aid and other essentials from being delivered to Gaza.

If you can empathize with the great hunger - and you SHOULD - you need to be able to empathize with the people of Gaza.

Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

Laois really said:

"While you studied the blade, I got three square meals a day with balanced nutrients, 8 hours of sleep and time to rest after my injuries, and thats why im gonna KICK YOUR ASS"

I sure hope so. I'm not really big on the idea of compilation movies as a thing generally, but that is something that would be worthwhile for a series with a focus on performing music.

Bocchi the Rock compilation movies this year... do you think they'll use the extended runtime to make all of the insert songs full length?

"Oh, you've never played Russian Roulette? How boring of you."

I mean yeah, the whole smoking thing is a lot more nuanced than that and I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but that is broadly speaking how it feels when people are shocked that you've never been a smoker.

Now, no shade to cigarette smokers, since they're intentionally designed to be addictive and addiction is a real, difficult problem to break out of, but it is very funny to be shocked that most people haven't even tried just one cigarette.

Like yeah man, they're intentionally designed to be addictive and many people will decide not to tempt fate if they can help it.

Seconding a recommendation for Aria. It's some of the best iyashikei out there.

i forget, have i ever recommended Aria (the manga) to you before?

Don't think so! What's it about?

"Where's that jolly jumbuck... er, furious feline you've got in your tucker bag..."

( ^-人-^ ) Mads will you go waltzing matilda with me? ( ^-人-^ )

Imagining a cat being stuffed into a swagman's swag... that's so fucked up.

Zero, but only because I can’t drink coffee. Instead I have three cups of tea on a typical day.

Out of curiosity and also guilt over my own coffee intake. I wanna ask:

Now I'm not talking about when you're studying and so you drink 3x the usual amount or something like that. This isn't me asking what your record is. I'm talking about the most basic, average day, how many coffees you drink?

For what it's worth, I've never played Kingdom Hearts, so I by default think of them as "that one Eva singer" rather than "that one Kingdom Hearts singer". But to be honest, I kind of knew of them as "that one singer the rabbit girl from DiGi Charat is a reference to" before Eva 1.01 came out.

oh and speaking of ways that I'm alienated from my peers by my adolescent choices in media

i feel like I'm the only person for whom Hikaru Utada is "that one Eva singer" rather than "that one Kingdom Hearts singer"

The moral of Portal is that if you mistreat women, the moon will get your ass.

There are two men in this duology, both of whom mistreat women, and the moon gets both of their asses.

Personally I think it'd be less "there's a monster enjoyer I must meet" and more "someone will not be able to eat unless I intervene".

Ik them meeting senshi at that exact moment was explained but I choose to think that senshi felt a shift in the force and knew he was in the presence of a monster enjoyer and he needed to meet him
