I'm re-watching Tokyo Ghoul

2024-05-24 at 6:31 AM UTCI'm thinking of Korean fried chicken and pizza. It's called dakgangjeong. I looked up what that translates to and it says "sweet crispy Korean fried chicken" so I guess I was accurate enough when I said "Korean fried chicken." It costs 17,50 euros. 400 grams of boneless chicken. And the sauce is good stuff. I always take the sweet & spicy one. My brother and I go there often. Or well, we used to, since we're both on a diet. I always pay for him. Often I just send him to go there since he drives a scooter and it's easy for him to get there since it's a 30 minute walk otherwise. So they think it's him who's paying for it all the time, when it's me because he uses my bank card. I'm going to buy it for my friends as well and my brother, so that's going to be 70 euros on Saturday and I'll pay for the pizza as well, think I'll be spending 100 euros on Saturday then if my calculations are correct.

Jinns are creatures made out of fireless smoke. They co-exist in the world with us but we cannot perceive them (they do perceive us). It's an Islamic concept. We believe the devil was a jinn rather than a fallen angel. There are good jinn and evil jinn. It is believed that evil jinn possess people but I don't believe in this whole possession stuff. I read somewhere that a ringing in the ear means a jinn is close to you; that in itself may be BS but it's probably true that there's jinn around us. -

I read recently in Eastern countries wealth is shared with the whole family. That in the West parents don't tell their children how much money they have or ask their children about their finances. If that isn't the case in your family I think you should be wary of sharing your bank card with your brother. You said you were in debt. If you're family aren't helping you with it you should not open yourself up to financial abuse. If you were my relative and I knew you were in debt I would never take money from you. -

My mother always keeps a close eye on what I spend. I do think it's annoying but she's my mother, so she gets a pass. As for my brother, well... he's got a job but it seems like he's one greedy bastard. On top of that, he's married and his wife works as well and makes more money than him, but he's too scared to ask her for money and so he takes money from me instead. I used to be a big jerk to him when we were younger so this is my way of making up to him. Though I'll be switching to another bank when the new semester starts after the summer break. The last few times he used my bank card for instance was to buy lunch while he was at work & the other day it was for pastries and I said it was fine, he doesn't have to pay me back but my mother said he should pay me back so I told him to pay me back but I am asking for less than actually owes me. He said a couple of days ago that he would pay me back on Thursday. So Thursday came but he didn't send me anything. I ask him what's up and he says he's got zero money in his bank. He showed me screenshots. So I sent him like 25 euros, told him to give me back 50 euros the next time he gets his salary even though he owes me like 55. I'm just trying to be nice to him, he's a good guy. He does exploit me financially and I can see that, but it's fine. I'm switching to an eco-friendly bank but this time I'm keeping my bank card to myself, I won't let my mother oversee my finances either. Both my brother and mother have my bank account on their mobile phones so that's why my mother sometimes goes "What did you spend (insert amount of euros) on?" And then I say "Oh, I went outside and bought this." And then she says "Don't do that." Lol. -
2024-05-24 at 6:57 AM UTCHe also used to pay for me whenever we would hang outside with friends or he just ordered food for the both of us when we were at home so that's why I also do the same for him now that I have money again. I am pretty sure I already treated him more than he's treated me at this point but it's fine. I also bought him a virtual reality headset the other day because he kept trying to get me to buy it and I just wanted to make him happy. At first I told him to ask his wife instead because she makes more money than I do and he said he asked her but she didn't want to give it to him. And now that I bought it for him, apparently they both use it now. Greedy man, greedy woman. They had this huge fight last year because she didn't want to help with the finances because "it's the man's job to do that." Both our families got involved. In our culture, marriage isn't just about two individuals coming together but rather two families coming together. I dunno how else to phrase it but my brother is just a simp. At one point, they were separated and even my parents said it's time for a divorce (she emotionally abused him and also physically abused him). All of his friends said he should go for a divorce as well. But he refused, because he was secretly still in touch with her. No wonder they got back together. Apparently she's changed now and she helps with the finances now, so there's that. Poor sap.. simp.. whatever.

2024-05-24 at 7 AM UTCLooking at my brother's marriage, I'm glad that I'm single. I'd rather be single than be with a woman like that. He doesn't seem to have the freedom to do what he wants. He can't just leave the house or hang out when I ask him to. He also seems to be too scared to ask his wife to cook him a certain dish but when he gets home he shamelessly asks my mother because he knows she's not going to refuse anyway. This mainly happened during Ramadan but it just really annoyed me that he asks his mother who is nearing her 60s rather than his young wife who's 2 years his junior (he's 31).

2024-05-24 at 7 AM UTCHow did this go from a thread about Tokyo Ghoul to dysfunctional marriages? Lol. My bad. I'll go back to watching Tokyo Ghoul.

It sounds like he's lying about not wanting to take money from his wife. She should know his financial situation and accept it. Why don't you ask your bank to freeze your card and send you a new one? He could take out loans in your name. It doesn't matter that he's family because a lot of people aren't responsible financially and self-preservation should be the most important thing to you. He doesn't care about you so don't let him ruin your life. -
2024-05-24 at 7:15 AM UTCThat's crazy that he's older than you, has a job and is married but is guilt-tripping you and stealing from you when he knows you're in debt.

It's not that he doesn't want to rely on his wife for financial aid, it's just that his wife isn't willing to give him money. I know how she is because they had that big argument and when our families got together, I was there and witnessed everything myself. But anyway, he does things for me like when I don't feel like leaving the house, I can message him anytime and he gets what I want or need at the time, so it's alright. I do sympathize with him. He probably sounds a lot worse here but he's a good guy (for the most part). -

Oh well, I'd like to make amends for the past and I know nothing can change that so I try to be helpful in other ways I can. Luckily, I don't have to pay off my debt until I graduate from college and then I get 35 years to pay it all back. I appreciate the concerns, though! He's older than me but mentally he's a little bit underdeveloped. I think he's got autism to a degree (he doesn't understand social clues); plus he had a rough childhood which I think is to blame for his lack of mental development. I was a terrible younger brother growing up. I was very mean and physically and emotionally abusive to him and I regret it so much. So all of this, with the money -- it's nothing. I wish I could turn back time but alas, I can't. -
2024-05-24 at 3:17 PM UTCI am a very different person compared to when I was younger. I was told I was a good baby and a good child the first few years but afterwards I became the opposite. Somebody probably put the evil eye on me because they didn't like my mother didn't have problems with her children, unlike all the other mothers. Stuff like this happens. However at the end of my teenage years, I started to become the person that I am today.

1- just because the producer, director and thier distributor say its "100%ly medically accurate" doesnt mean its really 100%ly medically accurate.
2- what does the term "100%ly medically accurate" mean anyway. any movie that potrays a character inflicting injuries thatbare incompatible with life in another character by shooting him in the head can be deemed "100%ly medically accurate" by any medical standard.
that movie where Rambo killed another guy by shooting him to death ? 100%ly medically accurate.
that gay porn where one man induce ejaculation in another man by sucking his penis vigorously and with utmost fury ? 100%ly medically accurate.
that preteen hardcore child pornography where an alleged child abuser inflict horrendous pain in a little girl by forcing his throbbing penis into her tight, developing, pubescent and bleeding vagina ?
100%ly lmedically accurate.
these are all 100%ly medically accurate moving pictures. -
2024-05-24 at 6:12 PM UTCOkay, so I watched Tokyo Ghoul though to the end of Tokyo Ghoul √A, and it was good. I was going to download Tokyo Ghoul:re too, but I've since confirmed that :re is definitely the one I was confusing for season 2. Pretty much everywhere I look online, the people talking about it say the show rushed through the content and that the plot is basically impossible to follow as an anime-only. RIP. If I ever decide to start reading manga in earnest I'll make sure to give it a read, I guess.

I'm glad you enjoyed season two as well! It was a lot more action-packed but I liked it a lot. Tokyo Ghoul: re is the third and final season but it's split into two seasons, so there's also a fourth season which serves as a continuation. I'm on season three episode nine now and honestly I am reminded of why I loved it so much. It's just really good. I have zero complaints. -
2024-05-24 at 6:18 PM UTCI might read the manga too, who knows.
-
2024-05-24 at 6:20 PM UTCSo far the only manga I ever read was Tokyo Revengers. That's one of my favorite anime, along with Tokyo Ghoul. I watched an episode of Wind Breaker and I enjoyed that, but all the episodes haven't been released yet. I'll wait until the end of June so I can watch it in one go.

WINDBREAKER is so fucking good if watching kids beat the shit out eachother is what's you're looking for, and it was absolutely what I was looking for. Been watching it as it airs. Impeccable fights. -
2024-05-24 at 9:24 PM UTCDoes anyone know any other Yuri or cute girly anime? I like them because having a girly escape is rare, when men around I'd always have to be on guard/aggressive, like I wouldn't be comfortable wearing lolita dresses around men because they wouldn't take me seriously, but in a lesbian relationship it was perfectly safe to be girly. Augh rambling...
What I'm saying is I like Madoka Magica and this yyyy anime is OK but a little too cringe for my liking. -
2024-05-24 at 10:05 PM UTCIg I dislike this anime because men obviously wrote it. Children aren't that perverted. When I was a child we did sort of sexual things like giving each other front massages but it was more exploring sensations we didn't understand, not being attracted to each other. So this anime gives me the ick.
