All it took was some finger painting with McDonald’s ketchup and fries.
Well that answers the question of how long it would take libs to rehabilitate him.

Did maker stop meaning diy crafts type stuff?

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans has some good Union activity in it.
Not anime but you should definitely watch Damnation and I’m a Virgo
E. Coli has the opportunity to do something really funny here.
12·6 days agoAny vax is better than no vax. Someone may have better advice re:variants, but I personally went with the Novavax this time because the mRNA vaxxes have hit me particularly hard in the past and left me with swollen lymphnodes for weeks after. (I previously used Pfizer. Moderna is supposed to hit even harder.) Novavax did not do that; I was a little tired the next day, but otherwise fine. Different people react differently. Ymmv.
If you can’t find it for free, costco has it for members for $140. If you need to buy a membership, it’s $65. you’ll pay a few extra bucks than the standard $202 price, but you’ll have a membership and get the discount next time if you time it right. If you’re a veteran sign up through govx.com and you’ll get a $20 Costco gift card.

22·6 days agoAgreed, but if we make them all drive cybertrucks the problem will sort itself out.
Cops should only be allowed to drive cybertrucks.
m going to gently push back a little on Okarun being a Nice Guy-
Yeah, that’s totally fair, I was just reusing a phrase others were using but he’s a reasonably innocent character that’s probably easy for a lot of folks to project on.
Edit: But also also the general levity of the show seems to be at odds with some of the topics it handles (like SA) and I’m not sure it’s a good idea to proselytize to anyone who watched ep 1 and decided it’s not for them because people are definitely going to have strong reactions that are entirely justified, I just feel like doing so can come off as insensitive
Oh yeah, if it’s not for you, it’s not for you, @[email protected] or anyone else. I’m just finding what it’s doing to be fascinating. Using storytelling like this is my jam.
While I totally get while you feel that way, that scene is looking to be very calculated. So far, Dandadan is shaping up to be cleverly disguised anti-manosphere propaganda.

Its overarching story is ticking all the boxes for an ecchi nice guy story and a budding romance with a manic pixy girl, but there’s a couple of interesting things happening. For one, every woman character is initially presented as negative stereotype in some way, and then being transformed in the viewer’s mind by the progress of the story. For example, Momo is initially presented as a weak, violent, prude-ish girl who refuses to put out and dates creeps, but then she sees Okarun being picked on and steps up. But then they take her rehabilitation even further and completely flip the scenario in the midst of that SA scene when there’s a momentary flashback to that initial opening scene that links the behavior of the creepy aliens (which are 100% presented as villainous) and the boyfriend’s attitude. Her power literally comes as a payoff to the viewer sympathizing with her previous abuse. And that’s becoming a theme, the grandmother is initially introduced as a charlatan who we find out is incredibly powerful, there’s another girl who has been introduced as a stuck up caricature of an incel’s idea of a woman, who it looks like is being reborn in episode 7.
Then there’s the battles; In victorious moments, the viewer is being presented with examples of crimes against women with increasing detail and emotional commitment. And the payoff for the viewer experiencing these emotions? The nice guy is earning back bits of his manhood each time!
It is dastardly, really.
We’re only on episode 7, but if the story continues on this trajectory, I would say it’s making for a great rehabilitation program for incels.
Just finished watching… Yeah.
They’re doing something interesting there under the guise of a silly ecchi anime.CW tho ecchi, SA, Violence.
Solidarity in your sorrow, comrade.
