I want Canada to secede from the British Commonwealth during my lifetime for a hundred and one reasons, not limited to but including how I cannot stomach living in a nation co-owned by the same people who invented Stargazy Pie

Being forced to acknowledge Netflix's One Piece only reminds me of what a disaster their Cowboy Bebop series was. I'd heard mixed, but sometimes pleasant things about N!CB, with most of the accolades going to the guys who played Jet and Spike, and then the last episode dropped. Ed dropped. Ed was so fucking bad that the entire world seemed to come together and yell "THAT'S ENOUGH...THAT'S ENOUGH, WE DON'T WANT THIS" and then the whole series got shitcanned. I can't wait to see what horror Netflix will whip out at the end of its 7 or 8 episode season

For anyone who doesn't know, cosmetic and hygiene products can produce bacteria and fungi after they expire, and the ingredients can break down and cause burns, rashes, and allergic reactions after this time as well.

To check if your products need to be replaced, you can look for a written date of expiry, or look for this symbol on the container. This will tell you how many months it's still good for after you open it and break the hygiene seal.

Like food expiries, it's not precise down to the wire, but it does give you a clear idea of how much time you have to work with it before things get icky.

If you're like me and forget how long you own stuff, I recommend writing down the date of opening on the container in permanent marker.

Im Very Pleased to share this website my partner directed me to. You’re interested in retro techand/or robotics, The Old Robots is a unique and surprisingly thorough archive of all sorts of real robots from as early as the 1940’s to as late as the 2000’s. I especially love the dated nature of its aesthetics. But, seriously- there’s pages and pages worth of these robots. Many robots also include videos embedded in the site to show them in action.

An excellent resource for those interested in robotics, the history of robots, robotic toys, or just goofs like me that love to see little funny hard metal and plastic fellas.

i feel like alot of people don't seem to understand that when people online are like ""I want a movie where the man cries" or "I want an anime where they don't sexualize little girls" they don't actually base weather or not they want to watch a piece of media on "does this have a trope i like/don't like". they just want the media they already like to have not have that shitty trope. when somebody complains about common tropes in shonen anime and you are like "well maybe you should stop watching shonen anime" it's like no they actually do like one piece they just don't like the occasional transmisogyny that sometimes comes with it.

like yeah i guess if i wanted to watch media that is not bad, i could watch media that's really good, but alot of media that's really good doesn't have the elements that i enjoy from media that is bad, so you see the issue here?

like i suppose if i don't enjoy the homophobia in persona 5 i COULD just watch downtown abbey but i don't think it has quite the kind of gameplay and visuals that i enjoy in persona 😔

I'm gonna give the Mario movie a 4/10. It's inoffensive, but it's also one of Illumination's weaker movies when it comes to story and keeping the viewer's attention. I feel like this movie is most effective when shown to 12-13 year olds who will appreciate the (very, very mild) edginess, and not have been as over-exposed to certain tropes as I have

For me, the movie dips down below the halfway scoring point because of Seth Rogen's presence. It's bad enough to hear him barely give a shit while playing a character as basic as Donkey Kong, but hearing him do his stupid "GUHUHUHUHGH" laugh as if it's something novel made him an actively unpleasant presence in the film. Surprisingly, Chris Pratt's Mario was okay. It was all passable, but I don't think I'll watch this ever again
