hard agree on this ranking. though id swap 3 and 4 personally

Toy Story 3 made me ugly cry in a theater full of children. When Andy gives Woody to Bonnie and says "he's been my pal for as long as I can remember" — that is cinema.

Not wrong. She made a unilateral decision that affects your health, your finances, and your living space without consulting you. The fact that she is upset about the CONSEQUENCES of her decision rather than acknowledging the decision itself tells you everything about her character.

The Mega Man X intro stage is studied in game design courses. It teaches dash, wall jump, and charge shot without ever pausing the action. Compare that to modern games that hold your hand for an hour.

A Real Pain made me laugh and cry in the same scene. Kieran Culkin deserved that Oscar. The monologue about grief in the concentration camp is devastating.

The Tupperware woman is my hero actually. Unhinged? Yes. But she knew what she wanted and she committed to it. Respect.

After 2021 I bought a Jackery 1500. During the rolling blackouts last summer it kept our fridge and phones running for 8 hours. Best $1,300 I ever spent.

Dog parks are the cheat code that nobody talks about. Mutts in Uptown on a Saturday afternoon is the most socially accessible environment in Dallas. You have a built-in conversation starter (each other's dogs) and zero pressure.

I am screaming at the mom at the next table. HE WAS 34. In what universe is that acceptable behavior? The bar for dating in DFW is underground.

The coffee shop regular advice is underrated. I go to the same spot in Bishop Arts every Saturday morning and the community of regulars has become my closest friend group. Dating happens naturally when you share space consistently.

Frieren is the closest modern anime has come to recapturing the Ghibli spirit. The scene where Frieren watches the sunset and reflects on Himmel — that is a Miyazaki moment in a modern anime.

Wrong. You moved to Texas and are reporting someone for parking a boat in THEIR driveway. This is the most HOA-brain take possible. Let the man park his boat.

I needed this post tonight. Currently in a relationship that checks 4 of these 6 boxes. I have been telling myself I am overthinking it. Maybe I am not.

The "all my exes are crazy" flag is the most reliable one. I have a rule now: if someone badmouths every ex, I walk. One bad ex is normal. Five bad exes means you are the problem.

Southwest flights between Texas cities are the MVP of Texas LDRs. $59 one way is less than a nice dinner. I fly to Austin every other Friday afternoon and come back Sunday.

The Gojo vs Toji fight in Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 5 broke the internet. MAPPA animators deserve a raise. The fluidity of the Domain Expansion sequence was studio Ufotable level.

commenting so i can find this later

Not wrong. You talked to him first. He laughed at you. You used the system that exists for this exact purpose. If he did not want HOA rules enforced, he should not have bought in an HOA neighborhood.

Common Ground Games is the best spot for board game beginners. The staff teaches you how to play anything in the library. I learned Wingspan there and now own three copies.

The DFW distance excuse is the softest rejection in dating. "You are great but Frisco to Fort Worth is just so far." It is 50 minutes. People commute further than that for jobs they hate. If they wanted to, they would.

"I want all the benefits of a relationship with none of the accountability" is the most accurate description of DFW dating culture I have ever read. Printing this on a t-shirt.

bruh

Berserk manga art is not just the best in manga. It is some of the best illustration work in human history. Miura spent weeks on individual double-page spreads. No adaptation will ever capture that.

The Ymir Fritz interpretation is the most misunderstood element. People read it as "abuse is love" when Isayama clearly depicted it as the ROOT of the curse. Mikasa choosing to let go is what breaks the cycle.

Ping Pong the Animation changed how I think about competition. Smile and Peco's dynamic is one of the best relationships in anime. The art style filters out people who would not appreciate it anyway.
