Does anyone know the year that the first adult mangas were being created? I’m searching for one author in particular that wrote some badass/chilling stories that looked dated in art style but not lacking in content?.. It was a 3 collections of a short stories a while back…
There was one guy that got his arm cut off in an industrial accident, one involving a doctor in one of those sperm clinics, one where someone dumped a body in the sewers(?)… it just came to mind out of nowhere today… no manga I’ve ever read made me want to read more than once…
EDIT: WSHH is the blackhole of anything intelligent… I mean its a hiphop website and all but EVERYTHING on it is dumb as fuck and black people stay up there…
Yeah, but I don’t even keep up with it that way… I’d have to switch to digital whatever on comcast to get the SoapNet channel, which is bullshit, imo… the major networks also keep episodes online for awhile, so one can get caught up that way as well. I haven’t kept up with it lately though… I was able to watch recently due to the holidays; President’s Day yesterday and MLK in January… I also had a sudden day off recently due to iced over road conditions. That was quite an adventure just getting home…what is normally a 20 to 25 minute drive ended up being 2 hours.
Currently, I only care for One Life to Live and General Hospital. There’s nothing much of value going on with All My Children these days, and the TnA content on that one has been in decline for quite awhile now. They don’t even have Eden Reigel as Bianca anymore! Unacceptable. Susan Lucci (*one of The Eternals?) could still get drilled anytime though.
heh, I just remembered that dream where I was a character on All My Children. It was like an alternate timeline where my entire life up to that point was there in the town “Pine Valley”. I was even childhood friends with “J.R.” and well acquainted with the Chandler family.
*on GH… it looked like Sonny (legendary pimp status, this guy) was about to marry Brenda the other day, but we all know how that goes…it is impossible for a wedding ceremony to happen in soap opera land without some kind of tragic “incident” happening to bring everything crashing down. It looks like James Franco shows up once again to “troll” (annoying modern-day internet-usage of the term but it fits here) everyone. Carly just can’t let it go whenever a situation involves Sonny, so she wants to ruin everything of course. If I were her husband, I would’ve given up on that bitch a long ass time ago. It’s clear she never stopped loving Sonny. She’s also not even the hottest one on the show.
Dead Space 2 scares the fuck out of me. Future-wife doesn’t understand why I play it. I tell her it’s the same as someone watching a scary movie. Only, movies never give me nightmares. “Bugs me the fuck out.”
I get kind of annoyed when people misuse the term “agnostic”. The common misconception is that it means that you’re undecided on whether or not God exists, but that’s incorrect. Agnostic means you believe that the existence of God or other theistic claims are unknowable. Agnostic and theist are not mutually exclusive. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist.
It’s not some sort of cop out “middle ground” between theism and atheism, it’s a position on another matter entirely.
Similarly, the term “atheist” doesn’t mean what most people think it means. It means a lack of belief in Gods, not the belief that no Gods exist. In other words, being an atheist means you don’t have a belief one way or the other with regards to whether or not God exists rather than an assertion that God doesn’t exist.
this video articulates this point far better than I ever could:
Right. You believe that the existence of Thor, Odin, Ra, and the microscopic teapot in Jupiter’s orbit are unknowable, and that belief informs your life so much that you proudly identify yourself with a title proclaiming that profound unknowledge.
Someone can say they’re agnostic with respect to the Christian God, and not with other theistic claims. You and I may not agree with it, but if that’s what they want to believe, that’s what they want to believe. There’s nothing that says you have to treat all theistic claims equally.
It’s amazing how hard it is to explain the latter point to some people. I try to tell them that babies are dogs are inherently atheist because that have a “lack of belief” and it boggles their mind.
