ive never seen an anime opening that captured the feeling of the actual show quite as much as this one. like, it starts out creepy and disturbing, but then it brings in bittersweet nostalgia and human heartbreak and longing, and it blends these feelings into this nauseous, but somehow comforting, weight deep in your chest. its so beautiful, its the type to really stick with you.

most others ive seen are pretty generic, especially if you dont translate the lyrics. high energy, sweet, sad, angry, etc. but this one i dont even need to translate the lyrics to feel what it's saying.

I just finished watching Go for it Nakamura, and I was wondering if there are any GLs with a similar vibe, at least art style-wise? I'm really, really picky with art style; i dont like the whispy, pastel looking stuff or when characters are super skinny or have generally super unrealistic proportions. i love how round nakamuras style is, along with the warm colors and strong lineart. i also like demon slayer, even though its obviously a very different story haha, but it has kind of the same things that i like in its art style.

also if theres any that arent in high school that would be great! not a requirement though, im just a little over the genre but im still down for it.

Idk what it's like in other states, but the cost to just get a guard card is really giving me pause! Just for the "Power to Arrest" training is almost $200, and I... don't have that much to spare unless I'm completely sure about it.

So, I know I need to be fully committed and plan exactly what my steps are.

I'm wondering if there are any California guards here who can give me some advice! I've been looking and looking but I can't find anything that answers all my questions.

1. I'm a college student in engineering; Right now I'm living with my parents, but next year I will be moving out. My current job (lifeguard) pays terribly and the stress of finances is really taking its toll on me... I've been desperately applying everywhere, from fast food to dog grooming to freaking trampoline park attendant; nowhere is hiring! If I commit to this, will getting licensed guarantee me a stable job with flexible hours?
2. For "Power to Arrest", will that 100% definitely need to be taken in-person? Also, any recommendations for what company to go to for that? I'm in the San Diego north county area.
3. I already applied for the BSIS Principal license, but I honestly don't know if I was supposed to yet? I think I just thought it looked like I was supposed to do it, lol.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I turned 21 last week. Last night I went out with some good friends and got truly drunk for the first time, and I didn't like it.

Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with the actual stuff we did. We went to a bar and got shots, then got shooters at the liquor store and went to the beach and just sat and drank and chatted and watched the sunset.

Previously I've never had more than two beers in a single sitting, and needless to say I had more than that. I think probably like 7 or 8 shots.

By the time I actually felt drunk, I was frustrated that I couldn't speak right or walk right, and I was too loud even for my own ears. I felt numb all over, like when the dentist numbs you up for a tooth extraction. And the shit doesn't even taste that good! Plus on top of all that, I couldn't sleep at all and now I'm hungover and not even rested. I drank a bunch of water in the middle of the night and barfed it all up. I understand a lot of people like the looseness they get from alcohol. I've always liked getting buzzed because it makes me more chatty and I like talking to people, but fully drunk? Not my thing apparently.

Anyone else relate?

I want to make a video about the last part of the song "So What" by MUNA, but the sound cuts off at 1:00 and won't let me scroll it to the end. I even downloaded capcut to try it that way but it does the same thing. How do I play the end of this song?

I'm about to start the final for my Bio 101 class, but I'm confused. The last three exams have all been in-person, and this final is at-home.

The exam is a simple canvas quiz; no lockdown browser, no camera on, nothing. I emailed the prof to ask if notes are allowed, and she said they aren't. My question is, is there some way she plans on being able to tell whether we used our notes? It doesn't seem like there is. I know that canvas can tell when you open another tab but other than that....?

It really seems like she is begging for her students to cheat. I won't be, but how does she plan on mitigating it?

I’m going to have my twenty first birthday party at a beach next month, and I’ve invited all the guests. Seven people, none of them know each other, although I might introduce some of them to each other between now and then.

I only have one male friend, and since I didn’t want him to feel awkward I told him to invite his girlfriend as well, even though I haven’t met her (They’re long-distance but she will be in town at the time of the party). Now I wonder, should I let everyone else bring plus ones as well? I know a lot of the people they would bring (mostly girlfriends), just not well enough to invite them straight up.

This would increase the size of the party to at least 10, which is fine by me; the more the merrier! But I worry that it would cause people to stick to their pairs and not socialize as much. What is the usual practice here?

Edit: ok, I have a game plan thank you all! ill let everyone know they can bring a plus one if they want, I'll give everyone a link to contribute to a group spotify playlist, and I'll bring some good beach games and board games.

also, thought i should include, everyone at the party other than the guy is either a lesbian or single (or both) (over half are lesbians) so there is kind of no chance of another man being there 😅 theres several mascs and butches and a couple of genderqueer ppl though so hopefully that mixes the gender ratio enough LOL

I'm going to have my birthday party in a few weeks at moonlight beach, on a Saturday. But I've never hosted a gathering there.

I'm going to have the guests arrive around 3 and we'll hang out by the water for a while, then gather at a fire pit. My sister agreed to hold down the fort at the fire pit while I'm gone.

That being said, how soon should she and I arrive to be able to secure one? I don't want to get there too early and have hours and hours to kill, but this party kind of depends on whether or not we can get one.

And further, is it even reasonable for us to rely on a fire pit at all? Should I come up with a backup plan, and if so, any recommendations?
