Arthur squirms as Alfred shifts closer, breath warm against the side of Arthur’s face as he laughs at a particularly funny scene in the movie. Arthur’s stomach churns. He bites back a smile, cheeks flooding red as Alfred throws his arm around him absentmindedly.
“Popcorn, babe?” Alfred says, mistaking Arthur’s silence for annoyance at Alfred having hogged the bowl.
“Um, n- no, thank you.” Arthur stammers. Alfred beams in reply and turns back to the television.
Arthur sits up straight, hands primly in his lap. He then glances at Alfred. He glances at his knees.
Just do it.
He shifts closer under Alfred’s arm in one fluid, gut-wrenchingly difficult motion, face burning in an embarrassment he hopes to god Alfred doesn’t notice.
Alfred does. He pretends he doesn’t, smiling into his hand as he shovels more popcorn into his mouth.
Japan’s complete lack of understanding of declining birth rates in relation to its work culture reminds me a lot of how America has an assumption that millennials are killing industries when the truth is they are more frugal because of a lack of funds.
Both come from a conservative mindset that neglects the impact that a toxic work culture can have on society.
A 80+ hour work week in order to maintain financial stability isn’t exactly a solid ground to date people and eventually build a family from a healthy relationship.
A workforce comprised of 20 somethings that make between 20-40k a year in entry positions isn’t a good ground to build a reliable consumer base when a huge chunk of that is going to rent, utilities, car payments, and student loans.
This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this
I am convinced that, in general, people want to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to – you know – actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that.
If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?
Pictured: Hircine as he appeared in Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and ESO. Hircine is an especially noteworthy Daedra for almost always appearing in person, with at least an aspect of him showing up in everything but Oblivion.
It’s like he’s progressively becoming more and more of a furry until he gives in and goes full deer
I didn’t even edit the order of this sequence… that’s just the direction they took him…
And that’s just like, one of the hundreds/thousands of other sketchy things the site has going on in the background by just sitting on any of its web pages without an adblocker/scriptblocker
Yo, if you wanna use KissAnime, you gotta be able to protect yourself & your computer from its shadiness. This post is discouraging, but sadly, there aren’t any less shady alternatives (aside from the legal streaming sites, of course) Anyway, if you wanna use any streaming site, you should download these Chrome extensions:
This extension is a lifesaver, seriously. Personally, I’ve never seen it used on Kiss, but it works a lot on other streaming sites. With uBlock, Essentials, and Pop Up Blocker, it’s very rare that I see ads.
As the name suggests, it blocks crypto miners. I can’t vouch for its reliability yet, as it hasn’t blocked anything for me atm.
I also use a tampermonkey script to block the “Are You Human?” thing. Pretty sure it’s on the Kissanime reddit (also, if you use Kiss a lot, browse that sub even more!! It’s really useful to know what the hell is going on the site before you risk your computer). Make sure to download Malwarebytes, too!
reblogging this again because this is a much better version than just saying “dont use kissanime”
All illegal streaming services do stuff like this, so instead of going somewhere else, learn how to protect yourself from malicious advertisements.
