Oh man! The one thing my home town is known for besides the Basketball Hall of Fame.

I got my bike back from being stolen a second time today. It seems a bit fucked up this time though, so I hope itā€™s not a bunch to get it repaired. They put a shitty tire on the back and everything is dirty in a way it wasnā€™t before.

By the way the whole reason I even knew it got listed on a seller site is because BikeIndex.com emailed me the link. Iā€™m going to donate to them and I would encourage others to support them and use their services if youā€™re in need.

For the ā€œitā€™s always sunny fansā€.

This is a hilarious review of Eromanga Sensei. Call me crazy but I donā€™t think he enjoyed this anime. (Its by the same guy who made the hilarious video, ā€œYour Waifu doesnt love youā€.

Iā€™ve read some fucked up shit, but Eromanga Sensei crosses that weird combination barrier of incest, pedophilia and bizarre, contrived excuses that it just makes me fucking uncomfortable. And while I donā€™t recognize your username, so you might not know my reading habits, but thatā€™s some serious shit.

Churba. Off the top of my head, your reading habbits seem to be mostly news and other really informative stuff (based mostly off my interactions with you here over the last few years (mostly uber and politics)). I have no idea what you read in your spare time.

Well, I was re-reading Dusk in Kalevia(an extraordinary rarity, I almost never re-read novels, but itā€™s real fucking good), but since Iā€™m off for a funeral(Nobody I knew well, but one Iā€™m obligated to show for), and forgot my kindle on my nightstand like a tit, tonightā€™s going to be a foray into a highly suspect Clive Cussler novel that I found buried in the back of a linen closet. (Plauge ship, for the record.) I read pretty much anything, but mostly fiction. I read enough non-fiction, current affairs, history and biographies for work, so when it comes to reading for pleasure, itā€™s almost all fiction, but I do read a hell of a lot.

But thatā€™s not quite what I meant - when it comes to manga specifically, Iā€™m the equivalent of that reprocessing plant in japan that produces much of their gold output - like said sewage plant, I take in a vast quantity of shit and burn it down to find the gold in it. If itā€™s mad, bad, and dangerous to read, Iā€™m usually first in like going ā€œPlease sir, may I have some more?ā€

I do read plenty of good stuff too, but considering itā€™s not unheard of to smash through an entire 17-20 volume series in a night, if Iā€™m not doing much - thatā€™s literally exactly how I read all of Black Jack, much of it while chatting to nineless(old forum lad, you might not know him) over skype - you need a greater volume of fuel for the fire. And considering the average level of quality of what gets scanslated and translated officially, you run out of good manga quick, so I just read everything and find something worth liking, or at least talking about, in most of it.

Eromanga-sensei is the reason I donā€™t out myself as an Anime fan without at least some cursory knowledge of what the other party is into.

But in football the appeal is in the metagame as much as the game, no? The NFL is more like professional League of Legends than like a Twitch streamer.

The appeal is the commentary being funny, educational, or otherwise entertaining, same as watching sports. Watching a feed of a football game would be far less interesting without the commentary. No one wants to watch Joe Shmo play a single player game in silence, they want the Super Best Friends or Markiplier making jokes and cutting up or giving background information.
