Also, input on what version to watch (dub or sub) is welcome too.

Standings:
Cowboy Bebop: 3.
Baccano: 3.
Black Lagoon: 2.
Looks like we have a tie. If there's no more votes by tonight, I'll just flip a coin or something.

God help you Flee if you don't watch Cowboy Bebop.
I'll probably just count the amount of times a specific anime is recommended and pick the one with the most mentions. Seems like Cowboy is winning at first glance.

So far, it seems to be either Baccano or Cowboy Bebop.
I'm going to bed now, so we'll see what it ends up being tomorrow.
Please for the sake of all that is holy, if you watch one, you have to watch the other. Both are amazing pieces of work. Cowboy Bebop was the anime that showed dubs can actually be good if you put effort and talent behind them.
Baccano just has an amazing cast, story, setting, and music.
Yeah but one (1) anime can still be played off as an unfortunate accident. Two is like halfway to being a weeb. But no, if I end up liking one I'll probably give the other a go as well.

If you're apprehensive about committing to a full series, the Studio Ghibli movies are god-tier and are the length of an average film.
I'd rather do an actual series. I've just found myself wanting something short to watch when I have nothing to do, so that's why I'd like a show.

I used to watch Doraemon a lot when I was younger
Literally what the fuck.
I mean it's pretty standard stuff
The cat thing is sent back in time to help the kid not become a loser and together they go on adventures
If you don't like that, Urusei Yatsura is really funny and cute
A lot of waifu bait in this one tho
Yeah, but it kind of looks like it's made for 4 year olds. Is that just the art style?

Without realizing it, my Youtube (while muted) had autoplay on and somehow made its way from AGDQ and Dark Souls videos to anime. When I caught this, this video was in the related videos list. Naturally, the answer to this question is that all anime is terrible and that this guy didn't have to spend 31 minutes avoiding that fact, but I'm taking this as a sign. I recently saw a few clips on Hunter versus Hunter which people on 4chan said is basically Dragonball Z 2.0 (it wasn't, really) but it didn't hold my attention. I'm also not watching anything else at the moment, so there's that. So since it's 2017 and we're supposed to try new things and whatnot, I will watch a Vietnamese cartoon that you guys pick. I'm not a fan of tropes and the idea of high school love romance sounds terrible, so please be gentle. Spoiler I don't commit to actually finishing anything. Just giving some show a honest try.

Don't refrigerate them until they end up in stores is best of both worlds. Avoid washing and keeps them fresh the longest.

two out of three
Are you like Verbatim:
Or do you represent actual oppressed women?
Women in America are oppressed, just like women in the Middle East are.
You aren't a hypocrite if you a volunteer at an American soup kitchen because third world countries are hungrier.
Give examples of oppression in the Western world, please.
Institutionalized discrimination is oppression.
Women can do anything, as long as men let them - is that right?
Women can't do anything, neither can men. We're limited by our social position and wealth. Women by default have a lower social positon than men because of the institutionalized discrimination they face. That's the problem.
Lower social position? How can you be at a lower social position not by your choice?
Wealth? That's the way our world works, wealthy people can do more - financially only.
If you're discriminated against by the government and society, you're lower socially than someone who isn't.
This isn't hard.
Oh noes! My lower social position!
No shit, there's issues on both sides and it's not black and white. "Women are systematically oppressed" doesn't mean "mean literally live on the 7th cloud".
Not to mentioned some of these are ridiculous. How is "circumcision is legal" a "female privilege"?
Because it is legal to circumcise males but not females, pretty much.
It's not when the surgical procedures aren't comparable. There's a good reason why female genital mutilation is called that, and why it's outlawed.
I still think infant circumcision should be illegal, but based on gender equality, because it's not equal to FGM.
That seems based on a lacking understanding of female circumcision procedures. There's many different types and the labia or clitoris are only removed in a few of them. Very often it's limited to a small knick or cut of the clitoral hood, which is the exact female counterpart of the foreskin. The consequences of those are at the same level of male circumcision (if not less) and yet they are still outlawed just the same despite being done for pretty much the exact same reasons (assumptions about hygiene, religion, social approval, culture, sexuality...).
I don't disagree with you, but the argument that they're incomparable and shouldn't be part of the same debate only holds true for the most extreme cases of female circumcision and ignores much of reality. Both practices should be illegal and drawing comparisons with female circumcision is perfectly valid in this debate when considering other types of FGM too.
I wasn't aware of that, that makes sense.
I withdraw my stance on that subject.
Yeah, it's not too well known for some reason. The WHO has a 4 tier classification system, with tier 1a only covering the the cutting of the clitoral hood and 4 being all other forms which do not sew or remove the labia and entire clitoris. For example, in South-Asia the procedure is still relatively common but much more limited. This article describes it well and states that FGM there is limited to "procedures such as cutting off a small piece of the highest part of the clitoral hood (also known as the prepuce or foreskin), drawing blood by scraping or pricking". This should definitely still be illegal but is much more similar to male circumcision and is clearly far removed from the complete removal of the labia and clitoris or even the sewing shut of the entire genital area. I fully agree with you, but comparison can definitely be drawn between the male and female type. Several forms of FGM are much worse than male circumcision, but others are not too different.

contrasted Leviathan with a book written by another individual I think a century later
It was probably Jean Jacques Rosseau's The Social Contract.
Was going to say the same thing. They were compared and contrasted in my philosophy classes too.

Paid 25€ for great health care
>tfw you dont have to pay anything
Weren't you a fan of health care systems like the Netherlands and Belgium (which are to my knowledge basically identical)?
shhh
Of course, what I meant to say was "damn, if only I too had a system as majestic as the NHS. God save the Queen and Worcestershire."

Weren't you a fan of health care systems like the Netherlands and Belgium (which are to my knowledge basically identical)? I had to pay the 25€ but will ultimately only have to pay €5 to €0 (the rest I'm refunded) depending on what it is I go in for.

« on: January 13, 2017, 06:19:44 PM »
That reminds me that I still have to turn in my last doctor's bill. Paid 25€ for great health care and still get to receive 15€ back in refunds.
I really hope you guys get something decent to replace ACA and that Trump / Republican Congress don't leave millions in the cold.

You people should all just get in on the same Discord server instead of having all these different ones. It's confusing.
Yeah but let's be honest here who else w
unban everyone who is banned
^^^this^^^
But the mods don't want a shit storm. I even offered to be the clean up crew when I was a mod. They still said "no". 
I'd be game for unbanning some of them, but the people who just spammed meatspin until they got perma'd aren't going to add anything to the forum.
They would add some much needed meatspin
I haven't really been keeping up with this conversation, but I'm just gonna say that us unbanning people isn't going to just bring them back. It's been a pretty long time since we permabanned someone who isn't a Russian spambot, so I'd assume most of them have already moved on and wouldn't even notice that they could start posting again.
Yah I'm not entirely convinced it would do anything. Does anyone even keep in touch with these people?
No clue. I doubt the ones people would like to see make a return (Kinder, Kiyo, Noelle...) are going to come back after being unbanned. Seems unlikely they really kept in touch with the people here as well.

Suicide Squad was far from a good movie, but this is seriously touted as the worst movie to come out in 2016? There are many things wrong with it, but come on now. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in theaters, but it was hardly that bad when you take it as just another capeshit movie.
3116
« on: January 12, 2017, 02:15:52 PM »
So what exactly is Harley Quinn supposed to bring to the squad? There's a living aimbot, crocodile tank, firebender, swamp sorceress and all sorts of shit, and then there's a random crazy girl who swings around a bat?

I don't want to live detached from civilisation but I do like the idea of living in a rural community.
Seriously fuck cities.
The only good city is just a really large town.
Aye. Colchester's just about small enough for me.
I've always liked Worcester because it doesn't feel like a city.
It's got a nice peaceful air to it, rather than the chicken run bedlam of brummayyyyyy.
Worcester? From the famous Warchestershree sauce?
Yes
Warchestershree
To the tower with you.
Is mispronouncing it a capital offense?

Can't say I'd agree, but both stand to lose.
The EU is more reliant on British financial services than the other way around. Britain's financial services sector is heavily concentrated in the domestic market; a loss of passporting rights or dip in service exports would be worse for the European firms reliant on the City for certain things.
For certain things and the banking sectors, maybe. But there's a lot more to the Brexit than just that. I don't think you can accurately qualify who would lose the most from a bad breakup.
