To be honest, I think contrapoints has a really solid take on it. That yes trans women are women, but women’s issues and trans women’s issues should be considered separate things. Both groups face some issues that the other can’t really relate to, and conflating them so much doesn’t help anyone.
Just a heads up, books are a very personal gift to give. I’ve never had it work out. Not saying you don’t know your family, but it’s hard to guess exactly what types of books they like. Especially if the only goal is encouraging her to read, that book will prob end up not being touched or given away.
I’ve had family I know really well gift me many books over the years, since I was a kid who liked to read, and it was always something I would never be interested in.
Now a Barnes and Noble/Books a Million gift card? Those are always awesome! Even though I know it feels lame to give gift cards. That could encourage her to get into a bookstore to shop for exactly something that catches her interest, and maybe shows her a whole series or author she can come back for, even!
Anyways, I hope you and your family have a happy and smooth holiday!
Honestly I think some of the older dubs are the best (your cowboy bebops, your Gurren laganns, and even silly shows like Ouran High School Host Club had great casts), back when the industry still had passionate and skilled actors. Now it’s well known that anime voice acting pays for shit and all the talent has left for greener pastures—and I don’t blame them.
Now it feels to me like most dubs get stuck with VAs just at the start of their careers and it really shows… Most dubs make me cringe nowadays with the acting.
Plus, I feel like you get a more accurate translation with subs because they’re not trying to fit tweaked dialog into previously-animated mouth movements.
I used to really advocate for dubs and preferred them, but my stance has flipped quite a bit in recent years. Kinda sad to see them decline so much :(
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo....
Similarly, nonogram/picross puzzles. I have one on my phone that’s called Hungry Cat Nonogram that I really like. It mixes up the formula by introducing different colored pixels into each row and columns. It’s hard to explain, but very fun. It’s the only game I keep on my phone
I just realized, if there was ever a wildlife photography mode in that game, I would play the shit out of it. RP-ing as an ‘extreme’ wildlife photographer trying to shoot around blizzards and keeping your gear in working order would be a really cool way to shake up the gameplay. Would easily get another 200 hours of play out of me.
Yeah, but that goes for like, grocery stores. If you’re coming in to Marshall’s for some discount throw pillows or Christmas knick knacks when it’s snowing and icing balls outside, yeah I’m gonna think something is wrong with you and lowkey be annoyed you’re even here.
Honsetly after experiencing the covid era, I think it’s the same people who were throwing a fit and refusing to stay in their houses for even one day.
This exactly. Plus, people around those areas generally have no idea how to drive in that weather so it gets substantially more dangerous just to be out and about. Even if you know what you’re doing to at least stay safe, you can’t assume Joe Shmoe flying onto the highway in his jacked up dodge ram has any clue.
Damn, you’re so far up the ass of your own misogyny that you can’t even read critically. Life must be really hard for you.
EDIT: would this commenter saying “All [insert race here] look the same?” be acceptable to all of you? I sincerely doubt it. Why is them ‘joking’ the same about women okay for you all?
The Matrix is an often used example, but for me it’s the Alien Prequels - especially Alien: Covenant really makes the Original Alien much worse. When the original was released in 1979 it had the perfect Monster. A dangerous killing machine of unknown origin. The missing background of the alien is a big part of its scary mess....
I can’t believe that anything with Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal could be so panned by critics. It must really be a stinker of a film if even those two acting powerhouses can’t save it :/
