You are playing 6d chess right now

That is merely the tip of the Iceberg in trends such as waifu culture and all it's derivativesI follow a manga about figure skating called Medalist, whose first season (anime) just ended.
Yesterday I saw people all over socials celebrating the main character's birthday, and while I love precious lil Inori to heaven and back, I will never understand celebrating the fake birthdate of a fictive person. I mean real life people's birthdays make sense, it's the day you were born... duh. But while a fictive character can also have a mom and dad and a canonincal birthdate that the author decided on... they are not a real living person, so they have no real birthdate.
Like, I am all for being so attached to a fictional character that when you read the story they feel real to you, because that's a sign of good writing. But please don't go so far that you celebrate the "day they were born".... because they weren't.... that's going too far in appreciating the character in my stupid opinion.
I see... always good to be reminded that no matter how weird you think you are... there are worse. You may have a foot fetish or whatever... but at least you don't celebrate fake birthdates because you have an unhealthy obsession with a fictional character.That is merely the tip of the Iceberg in trends such as waifu culture and all it's derivatives
I dunno if it could be risky to say but I think that blaming capitalism for anything awful happening to you is like blaming the ocean for people drowning.
Sure, this is one of the biggest flaw about water but this is also why we must learn to swim and having life jackets. Same thing in life. Be prepared.
So you’re not allowed to be upset at an exploitative system for exploiting you?I dunno if it could be risky to say but I think that blaming capitalism for anything awful happening to you is like blaming the ocean for people drowning.

This guy here should be ashamed of himselffor not having Ryo there
It's easy to learn about how it works. Not even with expensive courses.Most of those people don't even know what capitalism is outside of "free markets and corporations exist".
"Exploitative" is pretty relative when there are ways to work around or making things less tedious. Work smarter not harder.So you’re not allowed to be upset at an exploitative system for exploiting you?
That’s such a reductive way of describing it (and I think we come from pretty different places so our definitions are different by nature). But whatever, I don’t want to engage in this because I don’t want to accidentally break the no politics rule.It's easy to learn about how it works. Not even with expensive courses.

It's still the only system that worked so far compared to others that have been tried.
Do it at a conventionI would never be that brave.
I'm still wondering what is the clear line about the whole "no politics" rule as I'm talking about an economic system not a political belief (unless economics is intrinsically political therefore anything related to console and game pricing as well as auctions, bargains and even exchanges should fall under politics).That’s such a reductive way of describing it (and I think we come from pretty different places so our definitions are different by nature).

Sorry for engaging in the first place but I don’t think this topic is appropriate for this forum.
No cacao = not chocolate.White chocolate is good, come at me "It's not even real chocolate" bros, i still love that milky flavour in my deserts.
I don't care about my health as long as it tastes good, we're all gonna die one day anyway, besides I don't put on weight regardless of sugar intake. I bought a milkshake the other day and it was way too sour for me so dumped half a kilo of sugar on that b*tch.No cacao = not chocolate.
But in the meantime I feel that products could have less sugar, it would be better for health.
because most people can't be bothered to actually check on stuff. i found the following info on white chocolate from 2 minutes of google searching:I never understood...
They say white chocolate has no cacao, but it is made with cacao butter specifically.
I dont consider it chocolate, but a creamy confection, like "cajeta" or "dulce de leche".
Health is important though. And saying "we're all gonna die one day anyway" is a bit of a fatalist point of view.I don't care about my health as long as it tastes good, we're all gonna die one day anyway.
i know, but that was what i grabbed off of google by typing in "what is white chocolate made of".It's more complicated than that. From reading more in-depth articles, most chocolate flavor comes from cocoa solids, while cocoa butter has a much lighter flavor and is mostly used for texture and temperature reasons. White chocolate only has the latter, and in fact the cocoa butter used for it is even partly deodorized, meaning much of the flavor is removed in the process, so there is very little of the flavor component of cocoa in white chocolate. So white chocolate "has cocoa", but barely in the way that matters (flavor).
Personally I think it's good when mixed with milk chocolates, like in Kinder eggs. On its own it gets a little sickening pretty quickly.

It's because we only got one life that we must take care of it.
I kind of agree with the general sentiment but 35 is pretty extreme. Don't know how old you are but life really speeds up after a while and you'll find that you're 35 in no time if you aren't already. That's a really short life.Personally, it's better to live to be 35 doing things you enjoy than to live to be 90 doing things you hate.
Not disagreeing with you on that, of course we need to take care of ourselves. I'm just saying I am not the type to analyze every daily callory of the food I eat. I just wanna eat what tastes good. I often see people who insist on being SUPER healthy that all they eat is a salad and some energy bars, and I am not interested in a diet like that. I wanna have my cake and eat it too. Going to McDonald's even though I know it is perhaps the peak of unhealthy food. Eat a stake once in a while with some salad at the side, and pour loads of sugar into my drink because I don't find it sweet enough. I have lived like this all my life and I am still kicking, so as long as I don't do something stupid like eat fastfood every day for a month (Super Size Me), I don't worry about my overall health.Health is important though. And saying "we're all gonna die one day anyway" is a bit of a fatalist point of view.

While 35 is a very short life-span (that would only give me one year left haha) I agree with the idea of your statement. I'd rather die 67 years old for eating too much junkfood, than live till 90 because I only ate salad and measured my daily callories on a golden scale.Personally, it's better to live to be 35 doing things you enjoy than to live to be 90 doing things you hate.

A long life devoid of joy or satisfaction is useless, though. I'd say the value of your life is determined by its quality plus some degree of hope for the future.
