I just finished toradora myself this weekend. While I really enjoyed it, I agree that there are some big feelings that seem to bounce around. What episode have you gotten to?

Edit: just realized this thread is a month old. Apologies!

I've heard that some of them will connect to any wifi available. So if your neighbor does not have a password on their network. The tv will connect and upload the data.

Really? I've only ever used public so I had no idea. Thanks for sharing that bit of information!

They require your real ip? Yea, that's a no from me.

Glad I'm not alone in this. Tight budgeting that slowly trickles down to negative and then the tax credits come in and give us a boost to hopefully last the next year.

Dude, what the heck is wrong with people. Wealth is wasted on the stupid.

I sure hope you are able to and are actively looking for a different employer. That sucks man...sorry to hear it.

Do you have any tips? My kids are still pretty young (3 and 2) and I really want to avoid them having acess to these sorts of things.

I highly recommend you check out a book called "A Bold Return to Giving a Damn". It's about a cattle rancher who turned his ranch into a form of regenerate agriculture. One of his main point is that the current meat industry provides cheap meat that is subsidized by the environment. His ranch is called White Oak Pastures. Fascinating book and definitely changed the way I look at meat consumption. I still eat meat but my extended family raises a cow every year so I think its a little but better than the industrial food system currently at work.

I just recently sold my 2003 avalon and that car was the best. Never had any problems and still ran extremely well. Comfortable ride too

Like, I knew that, but it is still insane to think about how those people having a greater representation in the federal government than the city I live in that has just over 500k people.

This is an excellent story. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I saw another comment mention it but after you finish this, you must read (or listen to) "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing. The narration was excellent. I borrowed the audiobook from libby and it was such an amazing story!
