    > Pastebin is kind of funny, because it constantly asks you to go pro, but pro memberships appear to have been sold out for like... ever?

    I don't ever remember them ever saying they're sold out, and having pro memberships sold out doesn't make sense since it's a digital transaction anyway and besides it's literally just a membership which can't sell out even in meatspace.

    Anyhow it's certainly available right now for US$49.95. Sometimes it's discounted.

    Also I've superglued glasses back together before, heh.

    I use IJBM's Vanilla Forums' draft feature as my personal Pastebin.

    Yeah, that's why I mentioned it. It was certainly genuinely sold out before at some point. I remember googling and checking forums about it.

    MAL supporter only costs like $20 for the whole year and I haven't even done that yet! When we get to those rates for subscriptions, I might as well pay for a yearly subscription to The Spectator or something.

    I know pastebin is for a lifetime but that's still a lot of money.

    Oh, also, the recurring memberships are indeed "sold out". I guess they still exist for people who paid for them before this "sellout" was instituted?

    I wouldn't characterize this as "sold out", just "discontinued".

    > first time using TOM

    wow there's a lot of potential for neat stuff

    > nth time using TOM

    whelp I've already picked out what I want in this store, and search effort is having severely diminished returns

    Uhhh, I just abruptly woke up and was unable to breathe for about five seconds, as if there had been something in my throat. I wonder what that was about.

    I think the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me is that time I almost broke my arm whilst asleep. Anyways, at least it didn't last?

    CDJ just like... always has new stuff, and I'm always watching new anime, so I rarely run into this.

    Sounds like a premise for a story about an incubus.

    Like the sort of iffy thing you get foisted upon you on Amazon in the Kindle section of
    "Recommended LGBT"?

    Uh, by the way, I graduate school forever... literally tomorrow.

    There won't be a ceremony or anything, since it's early. Normal graduation is in April, and I'm apparently welcome to attend the ceremony, but it's one of the sorts of things I'd rather stay away from with a ten foot pole (I haven't been to any of my graduations since like... ever?).

    I just have to go in and collect my papers tomorrow and then I never have to go into a school ever again? It feels surreal. Like... who even is 14w without "oh I have to go to school now"?
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    I looked for non-incubus reasons for the breathing thing, to no avail. It hasn't happened again yet, but it shouldn't be a problem as long as it only lasts a few seconds and not forever.

    Congratulations! (I think?)

    I know that feel, the idea of no longer being a student felt awkward, if not downright disheartening, and is part of the reason I put off graduating for so long.
    I did want to go to the ceremony though, I went to the rehearsal and it was nice.

    So, my high school seems to be in the process of meltdown as a popular teacher was accused of molestation. Never fully understood the popularity of the guy, and I did remember him as a bit of a pig, honestly, but had so far not heard of him crossing the line. I'm typing this because now the defenders have come out of the woodwork, and you know what that means. I'm mostly watching from the sidelines and munching metaphorical popcorn.

    Oh my, that sounds... controversial.

    Have fun.

    This reminds me of how the insanity surrounding American anime voice actor Vic Mignogna's... stuff. I really have no idea what happened there aside from Vic refusing to recuse himself from public life and going all in, which really inflamed it all, but both sides are really dug in.

    Good gosh that flamewar.

    I maintain that (1) none of the vast majority of people on the internet who are talking about it have any ability to decide what truly happened and also have no personal connection to the parties directly involved, and thus have no standing to make any judgement, and (2) the truth of what happened does not change based on how many people throw a hashtag around. And finally, (3) just because a person does bad things doesn't mean they're incapable of making good art; and just because a person makes good art doesn't mean that they're incapable of doing bad things; humanity is imperfect.

    I understand the importance of ceremony, as well as celebrating one's achievements and those of others, but I've eschewed it for so long that it's now just my gut reaction not to participate. Probably a combination of contrarianism and an overexaggerated sense of "realism".

    Note to self: My ability to engage in long, involved discussions, particularly argumentative ones, is not unlimited, and I need to learn to pace myself accordingly, perhaps by limiting my involvement in such.

    Second note to self: I'm really wordy.

    I need to be able to acknowledge that my own wordy posts will result in yet more wordy posts and as such this is a spiral that will never end.

    However, I'm glad I don't have to pull my punches with you around here ie no fear of being angrily lectured into the ground via PM.

    Well at least we're using IJBM the way it was meant to be used =P

    Today I avoided getting engrossed in Reddit and got lots of stuff done. It felt good, I think I'll keep doing so.

    As much as I have the will for it, I can't see myself becoming the sort of person who devours political books.

    I mean it's silly to say this after I admitted they were probably not my thing and... then buying some anyways.

    Also, why do political books insist on hardcover first runs? I mean I get they really really have to make their money back but come on.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    Speaking of politics, today I seem to have woken up with a particularly strong hatred for socialism, I'm having a hard time focusing on anything else.

    Don't intend to be rude, but does this happen often to you?
  • StormtroperStormtroper

    Very often.
    Edit: I made use of the opportunity to run for a bit, so I guess something good came out of it.

    Sounds like the kind of setup that led many a person to buy a punching bag. I'm on the fence on the topic of picking up some actual martial arts, for the reason that you don't want to beat the sparring partner into a bloody pulp, but a punching bag wouldn't mind.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    I've been told that exactly, but perhaps I should instead look into doing something else that doesn't require buying something expensive that I can't take with me everywhere. Just the other day I was looking into that.
  • lrdgcklrdgck
    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"
    Besides, running is like the flip side of martial arts. As they say, runawaido is the best street style of them all.

    I am reminded of that joke about a guy smuggling Lenin busts so he could sell them to the shooting ranges. (I don't really remember how it went, but that was the punchline.)
