Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

    • Digimon Adventure (1998) – Contains: Divorced parents who deeply love their children and are willing to put their differences aside for their sake, adopted son learning that his parents really love him and that he really loves them, cool older brother who tells overly-pressured kid to stop trying to meet expectations and go do what makes him happy. (also – Kaiju fights, of course) – Plus, christmas miracle, ALL the family members are alive at the end!

    If you’re willing to tank a whole heap of tragedy around the wholesomeness –

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brothehood (and the Manga. Actually I prefer the Manga) is a classic about a pair of brothers who face many difficulties together. It’s really sweet how much they protect each other. Shout out also to their not-sister-childhood-friend for being an honorary third sibling. Then there’s their father, absentee for most of the show, but once he appears he’s fully ready to sacrifice himself for their sake and all that.








  • I know I’m very late to the party and any comment in a thread with 200+ posts is like yelling at the void.

    BUT

    My experience with Windows has hardly been “it just works”. In fact it has been a history of decades of tinkering and messing around with it to try and get it to do what I want.

    The only difference is that Windows obscures everything, so when something breaks it does so quietly. Meaning you might not notice… Or. More likely. It’ll just crash out and you don’t even have an error code to google.

    This isn’t to say that Linux isn’t a balancing act of constant maintenance. It is. Just… The Windows experience was never “better” for me from that angle. And… On some level, I enjoy all the tinkering. I think all Linux folks do.




  • Sex

    Turns out I’m asexual.

    The spicy part is try being asexual yet HOPELESSLY romantic

    But aside from THAT – Brand name clothing.

    Most of it doesn’t even look good

    There was a time the rich dressed decadently, that was conspicuous consumption, but at least it looked pretty and shiny in pictures. Nowadays rich people be buying clothes that look exactly, completely indistinguishable from the discount shop made-in-china artificial-fabric rags everyone else is wearing, but which have a logo printed on them. And that logo is what makes it expensive.
