Welcome. I'm Lanz. Lover of the arts, pun connoisseur, D&D Player & DM. Just here to explore & share. Writing, art, music, anime, nerd stuff, whatever comes my way here, really. Stick around for puns, art, & any other things that may come around my way. Give me a shout if you need anything. :D
ive never watched any anie (besides maybe an anime movie or pokemon or aggretsuko but that doesnt count) but ive never seen a full on anime series and i heard good things about fma:b
is it a goof first time anime? im curious about it. or should i go for some thing else im bored and i want to watch somehting
okay! im watching FMA: brotherhood (since u guys said that was the better version)
should i watch the dubbed version? i dont normally like subs. but did the dub change anything drastically about it? (like a shitty 4kidz dub where they remove violence or the gays ™ or whatever.)
is it ok to watch the netflix dub?
There’s a big difference between ending gun free zones and allowing teachers with permits to carry at school and putting a rack full of guns in the teachers lounge. Here’s your clipboard, your pencils, and here’s your school issue uzi lunch lady Gladys. Nobody is saying just hand out guns to teachers simply because they’re teachers. Since you’re right a lot of them are a bunch of leftist nutjobs. I’m sure member of antifa shows up in a background check and those teachers don’t get to have guns because surprise there are already gun control maesures that exist.
I love how these troglodytes heard “Teachers should be armed so they can protect students,” and thought this meant “Let’s just hand every teacher a government-issued UZI,” and not “Lets allow teachers who already own and train with a firearm carry their own gun concealed in a classroom in case they need to use it,”
In regards to discussions in general on guns, I feel like beliefs on this issue is blown out of proportion on each side. You guys are fighting thinking each one wants the most extremist demands no matter the issue and are insulting each other for those reasons of which haven't even been confirmed, laid out rationally, and discussed to find a solution. There's millions of this issue on both sides, but for here, calling someone a "troglodyte" because they have a different opinion? Really? What is wrong with you guys? Come on, we're better than this. Can we actually talk to one another?
This is awesome and I will most certainly be using it for my next books.
There’s a set amount you can do unless you upgrade to Premium, but that’s not too expensive I think at $9 a month or $7 a month if you get a year all at once.
Being a good person is a choice. Don’t let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort.
Every single time you do something good, you’ve made a decision to make the world a little brighter.
Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice. Keep making it! I see you, I’m proud of you, and I’m rooting for you!
The FCC's plan to gut net neutrality deserves a heated response from the millions of Americans who work and create online every day.
Right now, you can go online and connect with friends, watch videos and read the news. There’s a good chance you are reading this online right now.
We do much more on the internet than consume content, however. Increasingly, the internet is also where we create. We use online platforms and digital services to develop, share and spread ideas around the corner and around the globe.
This is the open internet experience we all know, and it’s a big part of why America’s internet economy is the envy of the world.
But this week, the leadership at the Federal Communications Commission put forth a plan to gut the foundation of this openness. They have proposed to end net neutrality, and they are trying to force a vote on their plan on Dec. 14.
If the idea behind the plan is bad, the process for it has been even worse.
It’s a lousy idea. And it deserves a heated response from the millions of Americans who work and create online every day.
Net neutrality is the right to go where you want and do what you want on the internet without your broadband provider getting in the way. It means your broadband provider can’t block websites, throttle services or charge you premiums if you want to reach certain online content.
Proponents of wiping out these rules think that by allowing broadband providers more control and the ability to charge for premium access, it will spur investment. This is a dubious proposition.
Wiping out net neutrality would have big consequences. Without it, your broadband provider could carve internet access into fast and slow lanes, favoring the traffic of online platforms that have made special payments and consigning all others to a bumpy road. Your provider would have the power to choose which voices online to amplify and which to censor. The move could affect everything online, including the connections we make and the communities we create.
This is not the internet experience we know today. Americans should prevent the plan from becoming the law of the land.
There is something not right about a few unelected FCC officials making such vast determinations about the future of the internet. I’m not alone in thinking this. More than 22 million people have filed comments with the agency. They overwhelmingly want the FCC to preserve and protect net neutrality.
At the same time, there are real questions about who filed some of the net neutrality comments with the FCC. There are credible allegations that many of the comments were submitted by bots and others using the names of deceased people. What’s more, some 50,000 recent consumer complaints appear to have gone missing.
As he announced this week, New York Atty. Gen. Eric Schneiderman has been investigating these apparently fake comments for six months. The Government Accountability Office is also looking into how a denial-of-service attack may have prevented people from getting their thoughts into the official record.
In short, this is a mess. If the idea behind the plan is bad, the process for commenting on it has been even worse.
Before my fellow FCC members vote to dismantle net neutrality, they need to get out from behind their desks and computers and speak to the public directly. The FCC needs to hold hearings around the country to get a better sense of how the public feels about the proposal.
When they do this, they will likely find that, outside of a cadre of high-paid lobbyists and lawyers in Washington, there isn’t a constituency that likes this proposal. In fact, the FCC will probably discover that they have angered the public and caused them to question just whom the agency works for.
I think the FCC needs to work for the public, and therefore that this proposal needs to be slowed down and eventually stopped. In the time before the agency votes, anyone who agrees should do something old-fashioned: Make a ruckus.
Reach out to the rest of the FCC now. Tell them they can’t take away internet openness without a fight.

Hey guys! So, as kind of a side project for fun, I’d thought I’d post some sweet art I find around wherever, however with a small twist. With every piece of art, I plan to include a little story with it that it had inspired me to make. I’ll post one of my own that I started on my Instagram, as I’m sure Tumblr’s formatting is much betfer.
However, seeing as there’s a ton of awesome artists here, I’d love to extend the offer to you guys! If you have a piece of art or a character in need of a bio, I’d be glad to help! Just throw me a shout or request & I’ll see what I can do. :D

Astral Portal Gateway to the Aether by Nolan Nasser
“I’ve… I’ve done it…! Blessed be the Gods, I’ve… Done it.” The Mage fell to his knees, his glowing blue eyes filled with tears of rejoice as he looked on at his summoned creation. The portal flowed & hummed with spectacular energy as the gaping maw of the skull stared down at him, it’s cavernous, jagged entrance for a mouth waiting patiently looking down upon him, as if waiting to consume him.
“You have done well, my pupil. Your efforts have begun something new, & it was all because of you.“
An ominous, hollow voice encircled the Mage, it’s volume splitting from ear to ear as it came upon him. He was astonished, his eyes growing wide, the blue sheen of his pupils shifting upward toward the face of the skulled structure, it’s eyes staring down at him.
“My liege, you are satisfied, no? I have done everything you have asked!” The Mage pleaded with delight.
“Of course. Your work hath provided fruit for me, abysswalker. Your service to the Darkness, to my arts & its soul, have been useful. Your devotion has brought you far…”
Suddenly, the Mage’s body tightened, his limbs remaining still as he became restrained. His eyes grew with concern, yelping against his struggle as a dark aura formed around his body, twisted tendrils grew from the cloudy haze, lifting him from the ground where he stood until he was level with the portal’s face upon the skull’s head. An ethereal laugh rung through his ears as he was brought closer & closer, until he was face to face with the surface of the gateway.
“W-What are you doing, my liege…!? Aren’t thou proud of what I have done?” The Mage yelled, his eyes gazing deep into the depth of the starred, dark void, unable to avert his gaze.
“You have brought me great power, Abysswalker, satisfied my every notion. That, I cannot forget. But, you forget your teachings…”
The Mage looked deep into the abyss, the dark sheen splayed across the face of the portal reflecting into his own eyes. His mouth was agape, but not a scream could be heard.
“My… Teachings…? What do you mean?” He yelped through a hoarse tone.
“As you conjure your power around you, channel your energy into the darkness, & stare into the abyss, you forget…”
