Puritan: There's a whole genre tailored towards presumably horny teenage boys. I've gone out of my way to watch it. There are so many boobs bouncing around, why, why, why.

ffs

Puritanism is one thing which I tend to draw the line over when deciding who to spend time talking to (remember that time itself is a resource).

There is just no point in talking to someone who has such archaic values.

I'd suggest watching Serial Experiments Lain. I think it fits this place fairly well, hehe. #anime

Ascendance of a Bookworm: I'll stop at nothing to become a librarian / 本好きの下剋上 ～司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません～.

It's a reincarnation story where a librarian (a woman) gets reincarnated as a little girl who is obsessed with books.

Someone wanted something like this, so here it is, hehe. #anime

Alright, obligatory reminder that this poll into whether there is interest in a free expression instance but without mean shitposters is going to close soon. #anime

Went to boost a post, it didn't work, went to check the original instance, and it appears to be down.

Single user instance, so I guess it makes sense.

I used to get a pretty weird ghost notification bug on here.

Manually unchecking forty "legitimate interest" checkboxes which are pre-checked.

"On Monday, school officials removed Jaiden from class due to his Gadsden flag patch. His mother has fought back against this disciplinary action, explaining that the flag—a coiled snake above the phrase "Don't tread on me"—is not a pro-slavery image; it has its origins in the Revolutionary War and was intended as a symbol of resistance to British tyranny."

What do you think of this? It looks like a pretty clear cut case of protected expression to me.
