Leftover pizza

I agree. I came across this article a couple months ago which I found really interesting and shows that childhood is extremely important in more ways than one.

Wondering why I had to be born in a family with such bad sinuses

OMM: I hope I can go indoor skydiving one day

I am mostly Polish and Italian

I'm quite new here myself but welcome!

OMM: When I first got my cat I think I played with her a little too roughly because now she always attacks my arms if she wants to play and has too much energy. That's fine most of the time because since I'm eternally cold and I wear sweaters/long sleeves but the one day I don't... pain Huh, I always thought other countries found the US to be really annoying and would maybe even go out of their way to not sound American haha. The holiday thing probably isn't all bad though, kids probably really enjoy Halloween and the few taking advantage of Thanksgiving are probably enjoying their nice, large meal. That integrating English into your native language is probably weird though. With English bringing words in from other languages isn't unusual but in languages that don't really have many loanwords it's gotta be an adjustment. Is it mainly like slang and stuff? Like words that aren't really usable outside casual conversation?

Dear anonymous, I saw you look at me funny while I was waiting in the car for my dad to come back with our pizza. I'm aware I probably looked weird with that vest that's too small over my hoodie, and my glasses peaking out from my hood but it's cold plz no judge. You and your friend also looked pretty. I hope you enjoyed your pizza as much as I enjoyed mine Signed, fellow pizza enthusiast

I went to private catholic school for 7 years... woo

*is awful at replying in a timely manner* orz Yeah, Penguindrum is really something special. It really seems one of a kind. I've yet to find another anime that gave off a similar feel. I do plan on rewatching it eventually. When I finished it I could tell a bunch of it had gone over my head but I appreciated the series a ton because of that. Four times is a lot though I can't even bring myself to rewatch a series I really liked most of the time. But then again, Penguindrum is highly rewatchable and is probably meant to be rewatched multiple times so it's probably not too hard to sit through a couple additional times especially if you already really like the show. And yeah YKA definitely felt different than the first episode of both Utena and Penguindrum. Can't quite figure out why though. And do you like the art style in YKA? I'm not particularly fond of it but I don't dislike it either. I didn't notice the lyrics to the opening though. They either weren't subbed or I just didn't pay attention (most likely the latter) And did anyone watch the first episodes of Death Parade, Aldnoah Zero season 2, Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, Kancolle, and/or Assassination Classroom? If so, what were your first impressions? c:

I've always found that aspect of it really interesting too. I remember some of the documentaries I watched were in a series called Born to Kill and at the end of them they'd talk about the murderer's past to see if how they were brought up could have possibly lead to how they ended up the way they did or if it was genetic. It'd probably be fascinating to talk to one. Their thought process and lack of empathy... I wonder how that would surface in every day conversation. And while slightly off topic, I also find feral children interesting. Incredibly tragic but interesting nonetheless. They really made me realize just how vital the first few years of life are. So much develops in that time. If you miss that window of a few years, there's not much you can afterwards or rather only so much can be taught if you miss that window. And because I get distracted easily and take an unnecessary amount of time to type replied and didn't refresh my page and I don't know how to add a quote when editing a post: @Akazora I've done something similar to that before. About a year and a half ago when doing my homework I used to find serial killer documentaries on youtube and play them in the background. I'd go through about 10 a week and after I while I had to stop because I'd seen majority of the ones I could find haha. I always found the methods they chose to get rid of the evidence quite interesting. Some ways seemed so well thought out that if hadn't been for that one mistake they probably wouldn't have been. It also amazes me that they can get addicted to killing. Something that's utterly unthinkable for majority of the population can be addictive... I imagine there'd be be quite the adrenaline rush with that stuff but addicting... Never would've thought...

Tristam and Braken - Flight

If I point my right foot and move my toes really quickly you can hear this grinding/popping sound coming from my achilles tendon.

I wonder if there are kids in Japan that really like American tv shows and stuff and are super jealous of the fact that we can watch them without subs and on tv. Like if they exist what if they run around saying "bazinga" and stuff. I really hope kids like that exist. On a more serious note though, I'm still trying to figure out if I'm in a situation with gaslighting, if my short term memory's actually just that bad, or if because now that I know what gaslighting is I'm just projecting it into my situation and while it's not what's happening in actuality it's what I see it as. It's just one those things that nags at me somewhat often.

Ah that makes sense. And really? Due to how big they are other here I assumed those holidays were also a thing in other countries but it wasn't until a few years ago I learned they weren't. Halloween and Black Friday don't sound too bad though they're probably really weird and somewhat unlikable if you're not used to them. How would the Thanksgiving thing work though? haha

There's the chance of this coming off weird but seeing as there's no psychology thread (or if there is it's either dead or I have to yet to cross paths with it) But does anyone else find serial killers interesting? I have this almost weird fascination with them. It's really interesting to me how all the cases are different and what happened in their past might have caused them to go down a homicidal path.

When I think of English speaking countries/areas I think "oh! the west--Canada, the US, and some parts of Europe" and then Australia's just over on the other side of the world so despite them also speaking English I just forget about them. And as Kudo12XX said, it's not really talked about. Where I live at least, like Canada and the UK are brought up somewhat often and also due to having to sit through multiple years of US history they're kinda hard to forget whereas Australia's just sorta there and out of the way. (and from what I hear also quite terrifying)

I forget Australia exists sometimes ...Still trying to figure out how and why that happens

I wish the oven in my house would stop getting an error. I just want to preheat it, put something in for five minutes, and stuff my face. And because it's Saturday we can't call customer service or whatever to get it fixed orz
