The 2036 Democratic National Convention is going to suck so bad. 90 year old Donald Trump, guest speaker, smiling and waving from his seat while everyone gives him a standing ovation for not liking President Rittenhouse

This checks out. You sound EXACTLY like me when I was 29 and an insufferable know-nothing piece of shit. Now I’m embarrassed for both of us.

Don’t say that on Lemmy. You’ll get a bunch of defensive milquetoast liberals demanding to hear know what YOU’VE done before you’re allowed to speak on the issue.

If you fight back poorly, yeah

your country

You really are just blindly swinging and missing, aren’t you

I’ll vote just fine because I don’t live in a shithole country.

But Jesus Christ- Imagine being American and thinking voting was going to save you in 2025

Works just fine. Just about everyone agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago. Get off your cross.

This is a flex. It means “watch me insult the largest Christian organization on earth with literally no consequences. My base’s support won’t budge and the rest of you cowards will continue to take it.” Has nothing to do with the pope or being the pope- it’s just another demoralization tactic.

Obi-wan’s face at that bit kills me every time

Heard this immediately

I know what I want to say would get me permabanned on Reddit. How does that work here, I wonder?

I’ve lived here for 20 years, bilingual, it isn’t a language thing. Am aware. But most of it is total trash. I mean- even your must-watch TV examples aren’t produced in Japan.

I used to enjoy watching Gaki no Tsukai with my father in law every new years- I decided to bow out when they decided to start doing blackface for chuckles.

However, you are correct about Survive Style 5. That movie rules. All-time top 10 for me.

I also appreciate that all of your examples are labeled “non-anime” 🤣 Obviously, on some level, you feel me.

Much too quick and much too painless.

She probably loves to honky-tonk

I thought we were talking about Japanese entertainment

Japan has an incredible wealth of entertainment

That is a wild way to write “a few very bright spots in a vast sea of absolute garbage”

One in the hope, two in the change
