   December 6th is a better date for an "emancipation day" holiday, in my opinion. The new secular religion of the United States is, after all, the worship of black people. It makes sense that, rather than Christmas being the "December Holiday" of the modern America, it should be one dedicated to their new gods.

   Originally posted by Enigma On this day in 1865 the North freed the last bastion of black people in Galveston, Texas fully eradicating slavery in the United States.

   
   The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in confederate states, and Delaware (remaining, as they were, a part of the union) didn't abolish slavery until December 6, 1865; when the 13th amendment was ratified by the federal government (against the wishes of Delaware's government, who refused unequivocally to ratify the 13th amendment when it came before their congress earlier that year). Juneteenth marks the eradication of slavery from the former Confederate States of America, but not from the United States of America as a whole. Ironic that, one way or another, the CSA abolished slavery before even the USA.

   The same energy as shouting "you can't park there ma'am" at someone who wrapped their car around a utility pole as you drive past.

   Not as sad as the commies getting over 40% of the vote. Pathetic.

    Originally posted by Elbow I could actually get them closer to 2 minutes afterward, but I wait a little bit longer for the closed torrent tracker I'm part of to get a hold of them, so I can earn upload credit with them. That's another reason. They have a pretty girthy library of Japanese content, and remaining in their good graces with seasonal anime seeding comes in handy if I ever feel like watching some obscure anime from 30 years ago.

    
    To unnecessarily elaborate on this: they do offer free leeching of 1080p torrents and raw DVD/bluray ISOs, but older anime was only released in standard definition (ie 480p... or 480i, idk) so I take a hit to my ratio when I want to watch stuff like this with English subtitles:

    I don't need to, I suppose. One reason I do it this way is that I don't know of any free streaming sites where I'd be able to get these shows at the ~exact same time that the people paying to get them on Crunchyroll do. There's like a 10 minute delay between the episode becoming available to me and to paying users of streaming services this way, and I tend to watch them as they air.

    And the final and most basic reason is that free streaming sites are shady and spooky and I always feel like I'm going to give my computer hepatitis when I use them.

    Why, you might ask, is it all anime (most of which isn't even that good)?

    Yeah. Jews are based. They have elevated the goyim technologically to levels it's unclear that the goyim could ever have dreamt of on their own, and they are due their complete credit for that. Just a shame their work in the social/political space has not nearly been as unambiguously an unalloyed good.
