When I first suggested to Ana that she might like Daria, she rolled her eyes.

She's currently watching her way through the entire series, and spent dinner talking in a Daria intonation. I've created a monster. A snarky, snarky monster.

There's been a long tradition of anti-censorship people pointing to Japan as a country with a lot of graphic sexual, and sexually violent, media and claiming that its low reported sexual offence rate shows that such content acts as a "safety valve" instead of encouraging sexual violence. I've doubted that for a long time, given how low reported sexual assault rates can be a sign of rampant but socially tolerated sexual abuse.

I loved Daria when I was a kid, but back then I didn't "get" all of it. Watched it as an adult a few years ago and it was still alright.

[goss]

She rolled her eyes re. Daria - HEE! That is so Daria. Of course she would love it. :D :D :D

Heh heh heh

I always liked Daria a lot.

It's infuriating that our government is trying to sidestep the treaties we have with the various Native nations. The level of disrespect is downright shameful.

i did a daria re-watch a few years ago on netflix. it's still holds up, IMHO.

The moment he started ranting about Andrew Jackson as a hero of his, we should have seen this coming. Hell, that name-calling he keeps aiming at Elizabeth Warren is an older clue.
