    There's a genealogy commercial where an American is super in to German culture. But after he sends in his DNA he learns a bit over half of his his ancestors are from Scotland so he abandons everything German and buys a kilt because he's "Scottish".

    He infuriates me.
    I bought that DNA kit thinking about half of my DNA comes from Ireland.
    Turns out it is 57%. So more than half.

    Yeah.

    Most of those commercials cheese me off.

    I understand people being curious and looking in to where there ancestors come from.

    But the whole "This is who I am" after decades of not even knowing and zero exposure to the culture? Pffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

    that yoga session was so necessary

    it turns out that i have, in fact, a physical body capable of motion, stretching, etc etc

    We did bailouts and ladder dives yesterday - both of which involve going head first out of a window and contorting the body in unnatural ways.

    Besides being covered in bruises, literally ever major muscle group on me hurts right now.

    The second season is very well done.

    That's some quality weebing.

    There's a jillion awesome American subcultures to be a part of! But they're probably more effort to be a part of than hanging up your "family" crest.

    *pushes up pair of cosmetic glasses*

    the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime premiered in 2003 -- of course, this followed the success of the 2001 man-gah, with which it shared many plot similarities until it hit the point past which the then-incomplete man-gah had no more volumes. then they had to get creative!

    haha

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood aired years later, in 2009, and

    There's also the added benefit that it makes people feel "special", like they were chosen for something at birth.

    If you want to be a completionist, there's two. The first decided to wrap up rather than load up on filler while the manga was only half finished. The second follows the manga faithfully.

    This is simply a statement of fact and no words will be spoken about quality or who should marry who.

    Why is it that I cringe when someone pronounces the first part of "manga" as if it rhymes with "bang" instead of "long", but if someone pronounces it "ah-nime" I think they're a stupid weeaboo tryhard?

    Every one of those commercials are like examples of people who I hate who look up their ancestors and are suddenly big into whatever. Like they know their customer base well.

    I think I personally do mah-nga but also anne-uhmay. probably just because manga is a purely foreign word but anime is derived from the word "animation" so my mind wants to pronounce it similarly
