The Russian movie The Idiot (released in 1960) had an actress (Yuliya Borisova) who repeatedly had a wildly maniacal laugh. The look on her face when she does it matches perfectly.

So I finally watched it and it was great and now I’m sad because there’s no new episodes for a long time (if ever). It was the second anime I watched the whole season of, and I chose one of the greats straight up.

Ah thanks for letting me know. I was on a site with a lot of people waiting for this episode, and they are in meltdown haha.

It was due to drop 2 hours ago but nothing yet. Anyone have any news on when it drops?

Thanks for the explanation about piefed, I had completely the wrong idea.

I’ll do that, yeah. BTW just as I posted this, the app seized up and I had to try 5 times haha. It’s also a little slow to load when opening the app, but it’s still better than the others, and hopefully these issues will be fixed at some point. I understand it’s moved to a new system (?) piefed or something? I guess that would need some tinkering to get it really smooth.

This post is taking multiple attempts to post too. sigh

That’s quite a list! The notes about satire are helpful too - I started watching One Punch Man and stopped halfway through because it was too silly. I didn’t realise it was a send up. This list should keep me going for a while, and lead me to other anime I like. Thanks!

Haha I started watching FMA because it apparently has an Asian Kung Fu Generation song I like, but it looked violent so I stopped watching. Maybe I watched the 2003 one? Who knows. I’ll try the Brotherhood series. Thanks.

Sounds great. Thanks.

Usually when I buy groceries, I’ll buy a snack to eat on the way home. A packet of crisps, a chocolate bar, something like that. I got tired of chocolate and crisps, so now my snack is a piece of fruit. Cheaper, healthier, tastier. It’s a simple thing but it makes a big difference.

She was just a nutcase. Hit my scrawny little arm with a ruler and crack. She did get fired, so that was funny at least.

Yes.

Teacher broke my arm for writing left-handed.

I used to have a lot of things that brought joy/happiness, but the only one I have now is nature. Birds, trees, soil, bugs, lizards, rocks, clouds… Endlessly fascinating.

I get that POV, but ultimately, water finds its own level. There is always going to be so much out of your control. It’s like “play the hand you’re dealt”. In a poker game, you don’t get to decide your hand. You can only play it as well as you can.

Yeah there isn’t “sort type” in the settings on Connect. I realised just as I posted that I should’ve posted in the Connect community. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Life is hard whether you’re ignorant or not, whether you’re kind or not. There’s no way to make life simple or always comfortable. So I think you’re better off choosing to be not ignorant, and to be kind.
