There's a very good reason there's so many black kids into DBZ and Anime in general.

I know after-school was special for me.

take: plushies are a game of deliberately exercising empathy and humanisation. so adults who play with plushies are cool

"I threatened to burn down hell for being inauthentic."

Don't slag stuff you've written. Even though you may recognize that you've grown and improved a lot since that, somewhere out there is someone who loved that early thing you wrote, and hearing the author insult it will hurt their heart to the bone

Star Trek and politics 

If you like Star Trek but hate socialism then you don't understand one, the other, or both.

the Metal Gear Solid series is just Kingdom Hearts for military history nerds.

go on, then. prove me wrong.

Pinky and the Brain is the same cartoon as The Secret of NIMH, filtered through Hogan’s Heroes rather than The Wind in the Willows.

re: Is this how a spicy take works? (CW: ranting, typography, metaphorical bestiality?) 

The original Frederic Goudy quote that I'm riffing on:

"A man who would letterspace the lowercase would fuck sheep."

This is usually rendered as "steal sheep" to... er... protect the delicate sensibilities of young typographers? Anyhow, he was talking about adding extra space to the lowercase letters of serif type in particular, so go wild with your sans-serifs.

But seriously, if a passage must be centered like on an award certificate or diploma or whatever, I say one should use the "balance lines in paragraph" option, or lacking that, soft line breaks to keep the lines approximately the same length. (I like to fudge things a little to make sure phrases aren't interrupted, but that's a personal quirk.) I just loathe it when I see one or two long centered lines followed by two or three words dangling in the middle like untrimmed nose hair.

Is this how a spicy take works? (CW: ranting, typography) 

With apologies to Frederic Goudy:

Anyone who would set any amount of center-aligned text without taking time to balance the line lengths is a filthy scoundrel who would steal sheep.

So my family found a light-up unicorn sign with movable letters.... 

Of course, this is what I did with it.
