In the States, shoes are sized for length and width. Width usually goes unmentioned unless you deviate from standard, and the next width size up for men is an E...so does that mean that most men suffer from D-feet?
...I'll show myself out.

Characters like Dante, Bayonetta, or Gungrave would completely destroy The Matrix.
Blaze Fielding was my first video game crush.
Ryoko is still the best girl from the Tenchi series.
If T-Virus broke out in Downtown Detroit, we'd be so screwed.
I got a lot of paint on me today.

The dub is decent, but I hate Kagome (her English voice gets grating real fast whenever she nags at the title character) and Kikyo who's just an idiot and hypocritical ***** after being resurrected. Kagome has a similar problem. The only characters I actually like were Miroku, Sango, Sesshomaru (who aren't suppose to like in the beginning at least), and Rin. Inuyasha I found tolerable. Kagome suffered the same problems Naru from Love Hina. Double-standard female on male abuse is not funny. Neither of the two characters are cute nor sexy. The second one refers mainly to Naru. Not to mention, Inuyasha is an anime/manga that went on for 10+ years, and the author kept dragging the story. She had nno idea what she was doing. I stopped watching Inuyasha during my junior year in high school, when I realized Naraku kept getting away, and rinse and repeat.Drathnoxis said:
Show yourself out? Absolutely not, sir or madam; with that kind of entirely random and brilliant shower thought, you?ve netted yourself a seat on the board.Asita said:
My Good Gentleman, if you officially turn this into a 'Share Your Shower Dad Jokes', I will never leave.Xprimentyl said:
You have been warned.
Haha! Hey, if dad jokes are your shower thoughts, there's no better place for them!ObsidianJones said:
So, hey, I'm going to fly out to Chicago this evening from Western NY. If the unthinkable happens (do not like modes of transit where I don't have control), does anyone want me to try to haunt them for proof of the afterlife? You gotta give me something specific but low on the typical haunting scale because I don't know how powerful I would be if I was all ghost like.
Don?t talk like that! You?ll be fine! Safe travels, my friend!ObsidianJones said:
(But since you did offer, while I don?t want to be haunted directly (no need to appear in your spectral form; I?ve made it nearly 4 decades without shitting my pants,) if you could possess the internet and funnel obscene amounts of cash into my bank account, it?d be greatly appreciated.)
... what part of that do you feel falls into "Limited Ghost Powers"?!Xprimentyl said:
Like, don't you have a ceramic horse that I can make whinny or something?
Cheap joke? I thought it was more of a crap joke.Baffle2 said:
THE SHARE YOUR SHOWER DAD JOKES INFINITY WAR HAS BEGUN!!!!!
Ceramic horse? Really?ObsidianJones said:
Fine, if you?re not confident you?ll be able to commit internet fraud for my personal gain (at least try, tons of free cash sounds awesome,) how about possessing my cat? I?m pretty sure you?re going to have to oust the spirit of one of my dead enemies to get in there because everything she does are so clearly and intentionally mean and spiteful, possession by someone who hated me in life is the only logical answer. She walked OFF the ceramic tile to puke on the carpet 10-inches away; what kind of vindictive dickery is that?!?
*Ba-dum-bum-bum!* Nice?ObsidianJones said:Cheap joke? I thought it was more of a crap joke.Baffle2 said:

Oh, and I was 2 the last time I shat my pants, Baffle2; probably brownish-green and the consistency of chunky peanut butter. Don?t care if you wanted to know or not; you now have to live with the consequences of your inquisitive jestering. XD
If you tell someone "You are shit", it's negative
If you tell them "You are not shit", it's positive.
But if you tell someone "You are the shit", it's positive
And if you tell them "You are not the shit", it's negative.
English, dafuck mate?

It is always healthy to grow one's self-awareness, even through typing a single post. Glad to have aided in the minutest of ways.ObsidianJones said:
You could be right there, also I should clarify when first posting it was specific trends in mainstream entertainment that were in mind, whereas there are far better examples outside of that area (and far worse too, I suppose!). The main issue that bugs is not being able to connect to a female character as a person when it's blatantly obvious they were designed by guys for guys, yet we're all supposed to applaud the fact that they're just kicking ass.
Like, with blaxploitation or any inclusion of black characters in fiction, are there ever times when you can see they may have been designed by white people for white people in a way that diminishes your ability to view the character/s as relatable human? There's a lot of damaging stereotypes deployed since the dawn of time that would apply, but are there more subtler moments of disillusionment towards a media in which white people would go "oh, so progressive!" and you'd think "...really??"
The most recent and obvious example in mind is Gravity Rush (2 was the one recently played, but both apply), a game I really want to love but can't because the character is drawn specifically for males, by males...along with an array of fetish outfits for good measure. Since noticing that, it kinda taints how the rest of the game is perceived, like her personality; I first thought it was merely charming dumb innocence zelda-style, but now I'm wondering if it's just there as yet another male fetish from a culture that openly fetishises it. How can I see them as an actual human when they're entire existence is born solely from a desire to titillate and their personality doesn't show any relatable depth? Though that example is a bit more blatant than what was originally in mind, it seems the best to highlight what angle I'm trying to come from. As a creatory type, I think it's cheap, lazy and exploitative to only create human characters you find, and believe others will find attractive, without - at the very least - bothering to put in the effort to write them as human as possible.
Sorry, that was definitely longer than the average shower thought. My phone is soaking now.
Yeah, I get what you mean, and don't disagree, it's just a bit tiring to see over and over again while plenty of women and girls still suffer with image problems leading to many other mental health issues born from constant expectations of a male dominant society.Thaluikhain said:
Ooh, flippant death! Alright, if the worst, yet statistically unlikely happens...could you haunt me just to confirm there is an afterlife at all please? Blood on the walls will do, perhaps with your online signature for clarification. I have many tests to go through and would very much like to believe in such a thing, but cannot because it just doesn't make any sense. Some serious realignments would have to be made after though. Any haunting will do, only don't mess with the fridge as it has all my delicious food in it. Oh and no deleting my precious saved data and music library! Good luck with the travels and remember to breathe!ObsidianJones said:
Speaking of which, the word "fuck" has a similar - if not greater - level of versatility. Curiously enough, even the same phrase can have dramatically different meanings based entirely on inflection. "Fuck me", for instance, can indicate sexual desire, surprise, anger, or even wry humor.Chimpzy said:
My favorite is "I never said they stole my money" for having very different implications depending on which word is emphasized.Asita said:
I = someone else said they stole my money
never = I am offended you would suggest that I said they stole my money
said = I only implied they stole my money
they = someone else stole my money
stole = I gave them my money
my = they stole someone else's money
money = they stole something other than money
