@coriander unfortunately you are morally superior to my little brother :clodsire_angy:

re: FoM spoilers (one of the mystery candidate's outfits) 

@AsterMeadows maybe I ought to play this one

@Breakfast Also maybe this isn't clear but I did mean this poll as a troll poll, I don't think red beans and rice fits neatly into either of the two categories.

My roommate argued that it is a sauce which I currently agree with

@Breakfast I am of the opinion that chili is a stew but I am open to debate on the topic

@vaporeon_ Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
What you doing there
Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
What you doing there
Hobgoblin, shots of hot Sriracha
Vaccine queen deem church socks hostage
Nine weeks awesome
Hides in a slipper
Look in her eye like she might be a wizard
Cold met a cat lady in a parking lot
She got the heroes of tomorrow in a cardboard box
And probably hoarding forty more in the corners of Fort Knox
Swapped 20 on the spot and copped the warlock
Back at the haunt, found God in the hamper
Briefs on her head playing look-it with a panther
Good around misery and golden era samplers
Jeopardy and Wheel at the heels of her handlers
Bet more than a pet to worship
It's an M.D recommended sense of purpose
Here to bat around keys in the means to euphoria
Soon to be held, the greatest of all warriors
Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
What you doing there
Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
Why'd you eat that leaf
Homie don't fetch, only woke to stretch
Under a thought bubble rich with bowls of goldfish
Skittish in the company of stranger danger
Otherwise, chase drawstrings, tails and lasers
In a steel cage match with a maze of cables
Brazen, game face based on Azazel
Oversized ears up, puke in the Meow Mix
Shred a pair of earbuds, remedy his cowlick
Thanks Kirbs, lookin' like a milli
Keep an old man sharp, keep a cold Chantilly
Spun plum dizzy in a frisky moment
Never lands on her feet though, I think she's broken
Mouser in training, nap on the toaster
Decorate her cubicle with dogs playing poker
Fifteen years taking prescriptions
Now a shrink like, I don't know, maybe get a kitten
Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
What you doing there
Hey Kirby
What you doing Kirby
What you doing there

can a @vaporeon_ listen to a song in English if it's a rapper talking about his cat

red beans and rice

@The_T @aescling not that you asked me, but

Your mileage will vary with Kill la Kill, it is one of my absolute favorite things ever but I can also understand watching the first episode and being bothered enough to decide to not watch another episode.

As to why I love it so much, it is a visual feast. Most anime praised for their animation have extremely static, flat presentation during scenes without any action, but Kill la Kill tries to make both scenes with exposition, character interactions, and action have equal amounts of visual flair. This is, in general, something very important to me in the media I watch, and most things I end up loving (Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Evangelion, Mononoke, Tár, all of the Wachowski films) have this quality.

It is also a deeply earnest show, and it does this while being extremely over-the-top and campy. It is often silly on purpose, and much more interesting in the emotional and thematic truth of a scene than whether it adheres to internal logic (or the laws of physics). For this reason it can disarm viewers people who have trouble genuinely engaging with something silly that isn't parody or satire.

The show is a coming-of-age tale and is interested in female sexuality and not all of this is presented in good taste. Presenting sexuality as something scary that happens to you, something that is suddenly forced upon you during your formative years, something that are forced to reckon with, is an worthwhile thing to depict in a work of art, and something I find deeply relatable as someone who is not ace. But presenting this with a female character who is filmed in a highly-eroticed way that is meant to be eye candy for the audience is deeply uncomfortable to watch. This is a frustrating thing to me, as the show is deeply interested in fascism, power, and the various ways that revolutionary actions are co-opted by the state, and the show understands that unashamed ownership of one's own body and sexuality will be critical for any revolution that matters. And it muddies this message, one that is often beautifully presented in the show, by pairing it with frequent gross appeals to the male gaze. (This is complicated thing about all of Studio Trigger projects from this era, (Gurren Lagann, Dead Leaves, Panty & Stocking.))

And despite these issues it is a show that makes me giddy to watch. It is just so stylish and indulgent, and it will slide effortlessly from a thrilling action moment that fills me with hype to an absurd joke that cracks me up and then to an emotional beat occurs that lands with such intensity that I want to cry.

It also has a canonical lesbian main character and it gets pretty gay

@coriander please tell me you have a picture of the 90 pound fluffy malamute
