Ditch the earphones and use some great speakers.

Then, crack out a few drinks, throw yourself on your comfy seat of choice, and attempt to enjoy not plastering your face next to the screen to watch stuff.

Ok so recently i became an anime fan and was wanting to start buying anime on DVD or Blu Ray only the ones i really like, but i was told by a friend that the DVD/Blu Ray's don't have subbed intros and all the other pretty stuff that fun sub groups do. Is that true ???

For example i was on rightstuf and it says on special feature clean opening and ending or something like that

I can tell you that's true from my experience. Once bought a DBZ box from Funimation, opening/endings were unsubbed. Fansubs are superior.

All recent anime I've bought on DVD and Blu-ray have subtitled intros and outros (they usually switch between English and Romanji even/odd episodes, or have both on at the same time). If they say clean opening and ending it means there is usually an extra/feature on the disc where you can watch the opening/ending without credits or subtitles.
There's no need for all this tension.

I recently realized that on my current pay, that I will never be able to afford the rent in my area. I also learned that playing the lottery makes me sad. I sort of feel like I'm on the trac to nowhere, not to be too pessimistic, but I dunno, I just feel "depressed?" Who knows?

I was wondering if anyone could help or if someone's experienced the same thing.

I'm not sure if I'm being impatient or paranoid, but I ordered my Tsukiko Nendoroid last week (24th) with Air Small Packet shipping, it shipped on the 26th and Japanpost has it stuck on "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" for the past week.

Now, AmiAmi told me it'd take 1-2 weeks to get here (Here being the US), and it's only been a little over a week, I understand that. I'm just worried because it's not updating and hasn't for a week. I was curious if anyone else has ever used ASP before and how long did it generally take? Am I worrying too much?

check you laptop for monitor or HDMI ports, most HDTV do have those ports. I do have both for mine and I find HDMIs has better qualities but is more expensive. Also check your video card if it could support external monitors, but I guess most of new laptops now can so there's no problem to that I guess.\

let her understand first that you are honestly short on money. let her calm down first and then the two of you should talk. explain things in a calm way that she'd understand and think that you're really telling the truth. (I'm not sure about this 'cuz I'm still a student, I don't know how to handle things like this but I think this is a good try)

In first place, your mom should not be insulting you because you don't have money enough to give her money. She is wrong, not you. BUT, if you do have money to give her but instead of giving her money, you are spending it with selfish things, then you are wrong. And as you have a computer and Internet, I do think that you have money to give her.

Hi there guys n girls!

I would really like to do some voluntary work over the summer. The places I'm choosing between are Nepal and Sri Lanka. They both have their advantages. Sri Lanka has beautiful beaches, Nepal has beautiful mountains. In nepal I would probably go to Kathmandu, the good thing about that is that I'd be able to meet a lot of people my age there (backpackers). In Sri Lanka I would go to this little town called Galle, which would be a lot diferent from a big city.

The work I'd be doing would be either working in an orphanage or teaching English to young buddhist monks.

For me it's really hard to choose because it all sounds awesome to me. Could you please share your opinions on it? And yes I know it's for me to decide and all, but sometimes hearing other peoples thoughts helps me to make up my mind. :)

Thanks!

P.S. I'm planning on going with a non profit organization called RCDP.

Ha, Life Irky-ness is an interesting way to put it. I'm not really sure how to respond to this but I just felt like I should, so sorry if this isn't very helpful.

I guess the first thing I'd say is that I don't think that it's necessarily bad to feel lost. I can probably list a ton of different things you can do to get over this but a lot of that has been repeated over and over again in self-help/motivation books (which don't always work). I think the best analogy I've come across is that some peoples' lives read like a text book and others' read like a collection of stories, the point being: don't be afraid to make big changes in your life and that it's OK to feel disillusioned and lost.

As for ways to deal with it, I'm afraid I don't really have any good answers to that. Personally, I like to lose myself in books/manga/anime/stories. I think one of my favorite moments of the day is when I'm lying in bed but haven't fallen asleep yet. I like to imagine myself in a place that I feel most comfortable in. I guess in that sense, you can use your imagination as a general blueprint in real life to figure out what you need to do to get to that place you want to be in.

On a more practical note, I think a good way to deal with this is to talk with someone whose opinions you care about. The hard part is that you have to be completely honest with them. Being honest is probably one of the hardest things you can do. It's amazing how many things come out in a conversation when both parties are completely and truly honest with one another.

I guess I just want to say that being depressed/lost is definitely a bad feeling, but you can take a positive outlook on it by using those feelings to motivate yourself to take action in your life and change things for the better. Alright, I'm going to stop now because this is starting to sound hackneyed/shallow. Sorry for rambling. Hope you got something out of my disjointed and confusing response.

Does anyone happen to know some easy recipes that don't require any kind of heating at all?

Currently, due to several circumstances, I'm living in a hotel room. I only have access to a minibar, and I'd like to eat something different from cereal and canned tuna. Aside from salads and sandwiches, are there any other recipes I could try or am I limited to buying fast food until I move somewhere else?

I'm 18 years old and living with my dad, but I lived with my mom, step-dad, and half-brother until a year ago. Their financial situation is awful, whereas my dad is middle class. My mom needs to move out of her house by the 14th of this month and she's extremely depressed. She's going to move either states away to Florida or back to our home country, Hungary. Living in this area is too expensive for them, so they have to leave. I don't know what to say or do to help her. Any suggestions?

Don't make promises you can't keep.

That includes "I'll go to college and make enough money for us all!" and "Don't worry, everything will be okay."
18 year olds can do basically nothing lately.

...Assuming I understand that your dad is divorced with your mom, the step-dad/half-brother is no longer with you, and that you're dead broke, there's an insanely small chance that your dad will let you move in with him. May as well ask, right? The humiliation from your mom might be too much though.

Or move to Hungary, cause Florida sucks.

Nah, I don't make promises like that.

My step-dad claims he'd go there for jobs, since he's not getting any here. I don't know how many more jobs there are in Florida for a guy who can work on cars and build/remodel houses than here in the suburbs of Chicago. I can't do anything, but I was hoping I could say something helpful to my mom to get her through this.
