Hate to hear all of that was happening, but hopefully these two procedures will be the final step needed to get healthy.

I'm not super active on kbin, but I've never seen anything from Pug to suggest they're a bad person. On the contrary, they're probably one of my favorite posters on here, at least in terms of the content they bring. I also respect anyone here who actually posts content and engages in conversations. It's more than most (myself included!) can say.

I'd say more Tuca and Bertie, they way they're drawn looks really similar to the show's style

Yeah, everyday I fear it'll get taken down. I'm seriously unsure how it's lasted this long. I hope it stays up forever though.

It's possible to enjoy problematic media for parts of it that aren't problematic while still acknowledging there are issues with what you're enjoying. Especially for things made in the past, where societal standards weren't the same as they are now.

I think this is especially true for video games, which have both story/visuals and game play. I could sympathize if someone found the game play of an older game very compelling even in the face of problematic story/visuals. Likewise, I can understand someone not enjoying a game specifically because they find it's story/visuals offensive.

At the end of the day, as long as you can understand that a part of older media would be found as offensive to people today, understand why those parts are offensive, and know that those parts aren't ok for modern media, then you're good.

On the flip side, if you specifically, unironically enjoy these games for those parts, then yeah, you're probably racist.

Edit: and in respect to your other posts here, I'll add this: my understanding is that the mod was specifically targeting only that disclaimer, which means the mod maker specifically disagreed with the disclaimer. That is what makes it racist. If it skipped all intros in the game (which it sounds like it didn't), or if the game didn't have a built in option to turn that disclaimer off (which it sounds like it does) then people wouldn't have as much of an issue with the mod.

Correct, the PSP game got a remake that's been out for a bit.

Bisexual man here.

I think it just depends on the person. Some folks like giving head exclusively, some like receiving it exclusively. It's a person to person thing. Personally I probably think about giving more than receiving, but I wouldn't be able to speculate on how widespread that would be.

I'd say they're my favorite as well! They're definitely the ones I tend to go to first when I get the urge to re-read any of the Discworld books.

Good choice in username by the way!

I'd like to recommend Old Man's War, which is the first book in a sci-fi series. I read the first 3 books in the series basically back to back within 2 months and really enjoyed them. I'm in a similar spot as you and I'm getting back into reading after not reading much for the past few years and these got me back into the habit.

Not sci-fi, but anything in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is also a good (and usually easy) read.

I'm reading The Golden Compass for the first time. I'm enjoying it, but I've been going through it slower than other books, and I'm not sure why. After I finish it I might go back and re-read a Terry Pratchett book.

If you have an android, you could look into installing revanced on your phone so you can listen to YouTube with it without ads instead of on your work computer. That's what I do.

Serious question, how often have you rewatched the prequel trilogy? Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, but at least it can be entertaining. The prequels can be so boring.
