    The little puff ball turns 25 this year. Guess it's time to go replay the classics.

    anime

    I find a lot of anime very relaxing. There's a subgenre of it I adore called iyashikei, which are basically super calming, stress-free shows about characters not doing much of anything. It's very zen to watch one of these after an otherwise bad day; three I'm fond of at the moment are 'Aria: The...

    My wife said can't spend the rest of her life with someone with autism.

    Where is this thread even going anymore? Anyway OP, I agree she's probably in shock. It probably wasn't meant to be taken too seriously. However, I wouldn't let the comment slide either. Those are hurtful, biter things to say to someone, and genuine or not, you shouldn't let them go without...

    Anybody got weird taste in music?

    I like a lot of music, some of which I guess could be considered weird by certain people. For what I think is weird though, the weirdest stuff I'm into is dark ambient music. You know, droney, malevolent stuff that sounds like it could soundtrack a post-apocalypse. I don't know why, but it's...

    Pick (a) Song(s) That Desrcribes You Best

    I've got two. Nick Drake is basically my muse right now, but this track in particular just speaks to me, though the lyrics are somewhat cryptic. From what I know about his personal life he strikes as someone who might have been an aspie, but we'll never know. And on a lighter note, this is...

    Does representation really matter that much?

    I feel I would agree with this sentiment, and your whole argument overall, if I didn't live in an area where bigotry is common and minorities (particularly sexual minorities) are few, mostly out of to fear of social repercussions if they come out. At least here, identity politics works in the...

    Does anyone find advertising to be really stupid?

    I think the truly awful thing about ads is how they emotionally manipulate you. It'd be one thing if they just listed the benefits of so-and-so product in an objective, honest way. But because there's competition between similar brands, they have to fight to get your attention by any desperate...

    Mythology, Legends, and Lore oh my!

    I love these as well, especially will of the wisps, selkies, and yokai. Any and all mythological stories native to the British Isles just fascinates me, and as someone with little personal experience with Asian cultures, I find Japanese and Chinese mythology extremely interesting as well. Yokai...

    Is this obsessive/repetitive behaviour?

    This happens all the time. Specifically, certain moments in songs--sometimes only a couple of seconds long--will get stuck in my head and I'll replay that moment over and over again. Sometimes its the chords being played, sometimes its the lyrics, and sometimes I just can't put my finger on why.

    Oh hello there. Sorry I didn't catch this earlier (I don't post here often). How are you? I've just looked at your paintings and they're wonderful.

    What's your ideal home location?

    Somewhere in the mountains, far enough from society that I can feel at peace, yet close enough so I don't feel totally cut-off. That sounds ideal to me.

    Animated Films - Embarassed to watch them...why?

    Animation Age Ghetto - TV Tropes Here's an interesting tvtropes article about the phenomenon. Personally I love animation, be it western or eastern, on TV as a series or a movie, and everything in-between. I'd like to think most people under the age of 30 don't see anything inherently childish...
