Pardon my ignorance, but I thought a "weeb" was someone who obsessed over Japanese culture in general, not just anime. So let's say I have a degree in Japanese studies but don't geek out over anime, am I still a weeb?

If we're talking about Paul, he's the result of over ten millennia of a secret breeding program by the bene gesserit (albeit a generation earlier than planned) AND royalty.

I love Dune more than anything outside of Hitchhiker's Guide, but I don't think Paul really fits here. He's double special before the spice.

The thing that sticks out in my mind right now is the steamed pizza buns (pizzaman) from 7-11 in Japan. That feels somewhat embarrassing to say because it's just a convenience store snack... but I miss them constantly.

You do realize a significant portion of the internet is porn, right? There is no world in which everyone has to go to a communal public building for their pornography consumption that I'd be happy with.

Really depends on how you do it, just ask Putin for advice, I'm sure he can give you all the ins and outs.

I am not an expert in any field relating to any of this by any means, but we can all agree that CSAM is unequivocally reprehensible. Thusly many people will have severe issues with anything that normalizes it even remotely. That would be my knee jerk response anyway.

I will also say it's hard to choose. I suppose it really depends on my mood or feelings at the time. However that being said, Pod People is the most memorable to me, followed extremely closely by Cavé Dwellers.

I'd jump around between both fish, castle and beach depending on what I was feeling at the time.

Also my knees hurt.

I silently lament that this experiment cannot be done at least once every couple weeks. I think it would be the most fascinating experiment to observe. Watching a new language develop naturally in real time!

Not a fan of Bush or the GOP but the Wikipedia article basically refutes that he was flummoxed...

Whereas here Mr. Vance's cringe is kind of palpable.

What do you use as a thousands separator then?

I'm mostly unfamiliar with different systems than the standard comma for thousands and period for decimal. I've seen period used for thousands before, but in that case how does one differentiate between a thousands period and a decimal period?

Probably not the worst I ever read, but whenever a question such as this comes up my mind immediately goes to one of the Tarot books by Piers Anthony. I don't remember which one, it was just in a pile of books people left in a dorm one time and I had nothing to read. I finished it, but I can't tell you anything about it other than the vague recollection that I hated it.

Probably Melon Soda. Not so much the melon cream soda though.

I insisted on calling them this throughout high school because I thought the word hoodie was dumb. Tbh I was probably annoying about it. Eventually I caved, but I still think hoodie is kind of a dumb word. So is jumper for what it's worth.

Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I'd never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.

Also had Ernie's magic shapes and colors... which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?

National Lampoon's Senior Trip.

I watched Jeremy Renner's wired auto complete interview on YouTube and he mentioned that was his first role. So I looked it up and it had 0% on rotten tomatoes. And I thought to myself, it can't be that bad.

It was pretty bad, maybe not 0% bad, but I found very few redeeming qualities.

I would not recommend.

Combat on the Atari 2600. There are games I remember better, but I do know that was my favorite... just no one would play it with me.

I had no idea they weren't internationally renowned, but I grew up listening to 89x so I guess it would make sense that I knew of them despite being American.

Was doing research on the background/origin of the key mask in Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic.

I use it for tuna or egg salad, but that's it. I wish I could find something that works just as good but I actually like.
