I am trying to give up meat.
No beef or pork, but chicken is too hard to resist.
Just remember meat only taste good because of the seasoning/curing it goes through post-harvest. If you repeat the same process with something like tofu it tastes excellent as well. There's nothing inherently good tasting about animal carcass.
I eat everything raw. i.e unseasoned. I let the food add flavour to itself.
Unless you're buying all of your meat directly from the guy who killed the cow, it's been flavoured already. Why do you think it tastes so good?
if this is flavoured, then holy shit what does it takes like raw?
Chicken on its own is literally chewy rubber.
Yeah, violently butchered creatures taste bad. Who would have thought?
What're you trying to imitate Verbatim for? Everything you find good-tasting has a reason for tasting so good. If animals tasted like crap, there'd be no reason for traditional families' menus to be so reliant on meat. It's on the menu because it tastes good because it provides a lot of nutrients.
we wouldn't have to cook meat first if it didn't taste like shit basally
but carpaccio is delicious
there are people who eat shit
there are people who eat shit, puke it up, and then eat it up again
and they enjoy it
this is why "taste" arguments are a complete waste of time and shouldn't be a factor in these discussions
it doesn't mean anything to enjoy or not enjoy something, nobody cares
And I made my point by stating that these people have a mental disorder.
Raw meat is tasty and healthy. Should we stop killing so many animals just for food? Probably yeah, but don't make these dumb arguments about how it isn't healthy or that it tastes bad etc.
i would describe enjoying raw meat as a mental disorder
But you'd be wrong, and it's just you making an emotional argument. If you want to make an emotional argument, stick to the fact that killing animals for food is shitty. Don't make these lame arguments.
neither of those are emotional arguments they can be expressed emotionally, but that doesn't make them an emotional argument you've always struggled with this

This is bullshit lol I've had rabbit that a friend shot and it was delicious. Animals taste great. If you go to a farmers market and choose a chicken then cut off the head, pluck and clean it, I guarantee it's far more delicious than anything you get in the supermarket.
You have valid arguments against eating meat, but this isn't one of them.
"animals taste good if you do things that make them taste good"
What? Are you suggesting people eat chickens whole and die from a disease? Lmao what the fuck. Just like you have to clean harvest and clean vegetables, you have to butcher and clean animals (removing fur/feathers/digestive tract). And you can use heads of many animals for stews, actually. A soup that is considered a delicacy in Iran is made with sheep head and sometimes feet.
i don't care

Everyone knows a bread only diet is the only respectable avenue to take.
You're eating dead Yeast, who worked hard to grow to that size until someone baked them to death.
How does that make you feel.

it sucks because they're trying to play the catch-up game too hard with marvel
by the time the CU even begun, marvel's CU was already well-established with like 32 movies, two of which involved all of the heroes banded together, and already made like 300 trillion dollars altogether or something ridiculous
so instead of flooding the market with even more superhero movies (which we should be thankful for) they've only subjected us to a few, but in doing so, the overall pacing of the franchise suffers because we haven't been given as much of a chance to become attached to literally any of DC's heroes (except wonder woman i guess), so none of the movies have had a real sense of chutzpah or gravitas to them because nobody gives a fuck
also zack snyder is a hack and put the franchise to an early grave with the piece of shit that was man of steel, which was bad because it tried to do for superman what chris nolan did for batman, and as it turns out, you just can't do that very well
suicide squad was also doomed to fail because it's just a really fucking stupid premise
every movie has to have a big epic fight at the end in order to make the average shithead consumer feel like they got their money's worth, because there was a big dumb fight with lots of action and explosions therefore it was an "entertaining and fun ride"
they're just over-inflated movies made by giant studios and factories specifically engineered to paint by the numbers and appeal to as many people as possible while simultaneously trying to compete with another company who's doing the same thing, but has had a decade-long headstart, and that's just not an equation that could ever lead to anything called "success"
well okay the movies make lots of money so i guess that means they're successful, but they're soulless and inartistic and nobody likes them and that's what i mean

botw has developed a fondness within me for imperfect horse controls, though, so unless the horse actively feels like it has a mind of its own, that automatically degrades it a little bit for me

So how often do you get the "shut off your brain to enjoy it" spiel?
oddly enough, that hasn't ever been said to me just yet i think if someone were to glance at my MAL, they'd probably assume that i'm not the type to just "turn my brain off" in order to enjoy something more (though i suppose the closest i've come to doing so was with golden boy) speaking of which, my MAL's average rating actually increased by 0.01 with my last update FUCK

Behold: My least favorite Street Fighter character. And he looks every bit as bad as he did in 4. But hey, at least we seem to be getting new characters every month now. That's actually hype as fuck. So the FM I would've grinded for Blanka can now be spent on Falke, assuming she's next.

i was intrigued because it's a traditional fighter and those are my jam, but it looks really bad
what looks bad about it
just looks really boring, match making looks fucking atrocious, and i don't like any of the characters having to learn three different characters is cool, but the hyperactive MvC style gives me migraines i prefer my fighters to be more grounded, mid-paced, mano e mano with not too much shit going on

Do you skip recap episodes?
i don't usually make it far enough to see any, but they're not something i generally look out for anyway i suppose if i knew that the next episode was just going to be a recap, i would probably skip it i guess why

Flee made a similar thread awhile back where I went ahead and posted every Switch or Nintendo exclusive game available for the system, categorized by quality, so I'll do the same here and update it. Sadly, the list hasn't actually grown that much. Must have: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Super Mario Odyssey Splatoon 2 Good choices: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Blaster Master Zero Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack Mighty Gunvolt Burst Snipperclips Plus Fast RMX Not so good or niche: Spoiler Arms
DragonFangZ: The Rose & Dungeon of Time
Floor Kids
Pic-a-Pix Deluxe
Tactical Mind
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Fire Emblem Warriors
Pokkén Tournament DX
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers
Super Bomberman R
Super Putty Squad
Touch Battle Tank SP
ACORN Tactics
Gear.Club Unlimited
Golf Story
Kamiko Don't bother: Spoiler 1-2-Switch
3D MiniGolf
FruitFall Crush
Moorhuhn Knights & Castles
Party Planet
Picross S
Puzzle Box Maker
Tennis
Revenant Saga
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers
Super Ping Pong Trick Shot
Qbics Paint
Physical Contact: Picture Place
Physical Contact: 2048
Physical Contact: Speed
Soldam: Drop, Connect, Erase
Othello
Boost Beast
Astro Bears Party
Flip Wars
Super Beat Sports
Ultra Hyperball
Puzzle Adventure Blockle
Vroom in the Night Sky One of the things added to the niche section is a game called DragonFangZ: The Rose & Dungeon of Time, which looks like something you may or may not enjoy, I dunno. Price is definitely a big issue for some games right now. If you enjoy Mario games, Odyssey is a safe buy. The good news is that 2018 is gonna be a big year for the Switch, with Dark Souls and Bayonetta (if you're into that sort of thing) dropping very soon, among other things. also knowing you, you might be into xenoblade chronicles 2

Memories (Various directors, Madhouse, 1995) This one's pretty interesting: an anthology of three different short films, all written and directed by different people, but intended to form a cohesive piece. The first story is called Magnetic Rose and was written by Satoshi Kon of Perfect Blue fame. This is definitely the best of the three stories, and I'd actually be inclined to give it a 7/10 if it weren't so bogged down by the other two lackluster stories, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder (very, very appropriate titles). While all three of them have some beautiful illustrations and animation, only Magnetic Rose managed to captivate me all the way through with its story. The creepy sci-fi setting coupled with the deeply troubling themes of how our memories can be seen as both real and imaginary at the same time make this an easy favorite, whereas the others just weren't nearly as thought-provoking. It's a bit of a shame, too; this may have had the potential to become one of my favorites. I'll put it on the rewatch list, though. 4/10
Crayon Shin-chan (Shin-Ei Animation, 1992, ten episodes) For what it IS, this show is honestly pretty great, but for only one reason: the Funimation dub. I remember watching episodes of this when it was airing on Adult Swim, and I didn't even realize it was an anime at the time, let alone a mockery of one. What was originally a child-oriented comedy show in Japan was reworked into a more adult-oriented one with lots of blatant Americanization. Apparently, they even reordered some of the episodes and rewrote certain plots, the result of which is a totally incomprehensible yet extremely entertaining mess. That said, I don't give a fuck about the original show at all, and I certainly wouldn't watch 1000 episodes of it (especially knowing it's not going to be nearly as funny), hence the rating. The dub is merely proof that the West does literally everything better. 6/10
Ranma ½ (Studio Deen, 1989, six episodes) It has a cute premise, I'll give it that. But every single episode after the first is just an unbearable cringe-fest, and I kinda fucking hated every second of it. Granted, it's not the kind of subject matter I expect Japan to handle very maturely or with any degree of taste, but it's still pretty offensive, and I'm told by some trustworthy folks that it only gets worse. I think I've had enough. 1/10
DNA² (Madhouse, 1994, completed) For whatever reason, I decided to watch both this and the 1995 OVA in their entirety, given how short they both were, but I totally regret doing so. While the premise is somewhat relevant to my interests, it may have had a little bit more potential if it wasn't just another schlocky shonen romp. Quite frustrating to watch, and the ending was not only fucking retarded, but borderline insulting. Avoid. 3/10
Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Revelation (J.C. Staff, 1995, completed) There's a reason why Megami Tensei is one of the most inaccessible franchises of all time, and OVAs like this are not exactly helping with that. Not that it's even trying, but still. This is shit. 2/10
Saber Marionette R (Zero-G Room, 1995, completed) I don't even fucking understand this trash. 2/10
Elementalors (Katsuhito Akiyama, AIC, 1995) 4/10
Princess Minerva (Group TAC, 1995, completed) 1/10
Sailor Victory (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 2/10
Megami Tengoku (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 1/10

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoriaThe American Psychiatric Association permits a diagnosis of gender dysphoria if the criteria in the DSM-5 are met. The DSM-5 moved this diagnosis out of the sexual disorders category and into a category of its own. The DSM-5 states that at least two of the criteria for gender dysphoria must be experienced for at least six months' duration in adolescents or adults for diagnosis. https://www.theravive.com/therapedia/gender-dysphoria-dsm--5-302.85-(f64.9) - Noticeable incongruence between the gender that the patient sees themselves are, and what their classified gender assignment
- An intense need to do away with his or her primary or secondary sex features (or, in the case of young teenagers, to avert the maturity of the likely secondary features)
- An intense desire to have the primary or secondary sex features of the other gender
- A deep desire to transform into another gender
- A profound need for society to treat them as another gender
- A powerful assurance of having the characteristic feelings and responses of the other gender
- The second necessity is that the condition should be connected with clinically important distress, or affects the individual significantly socially, at work, and in other import areas of life.

if you're baiting someone, you're not just looking for any kind of response
you're trying to incite an argument
so if people catch on and point out that it's bait, that kind of stymies your effort

to follow up on my last few posts: it turns out that i actually discovered a glitch
i use the word "discovered" because, as far as i'm able to tell, this glitch has yet to be documented on bulbapedia, serebii, or anywhere else, and as soon as i'm able to provide evidence for it, i intend to edit some articles over there
it has to do with the move sweet scent being used outside of battle to produce an encounter during an outbreak
long-story short: during an outbreak, if you decide to use sweet scent outside of battle rather than just walking through the tall grass like normal, the outbreak will end prematurely and you won't get the thing you're looking for
i was able to confirm this after getting arnie to alert me of a second yanma outbreak, WITHOUT using sweet scent that time, after noticing that something seemed a little "off" about the first one
this also confirms that crystal's encounter tables revert back to gold/silver tables during outbreaks, which is so fucking bizarre to me
not sure if the glitch happens anywhere outside of Crystal VC, but given how faithful these ports have been to the original games, it seems safe enough to say that it applies across the board for all gen 2 games on all platforms
at least it wound up working out for me in the end, since i traded the abra i found for a machop and slaughtered the shit out of whitney with it
currently about to fight morty
