another question..
WHY is it a sensitive issue?

my british landlord kept avoiding this question everytime I asked him

There's been a lot of conflict.
Check the history books.

I've read bout it but
The history doesnt really give a full perspective on the present. I'm curious on the personal point of view of the brits themselves, not the history but how this issue reflects on themselves... But yea, thanks for answering my question! =D

sorry if my question offended anyone.. I'm not being political btw.. 😐

Cmon, I dont expect books to cover faithfully what really happened. In fact for those things there is BRAVEHEART 🤣

My question is: Why in english there's the say "Its raining cats and dogs"? From where does it come? Its really strange o.o' (why cats and dogs, WHY? What about pigs, chickens, cows...)

Quote from StarlightDreams

How do you get rid of a stomachache when you have no pepto bismol around? 😢

well, depends on what kind. Is it caused by cold air? Too much food? Too little food. Bad food? Poisoning? Alergy? Someone punched you? Too much crunches? Organ infections?

But if it's in the category of pepto bismol....then i think boiled hot water, drink, and then hot water shower. Rub your tummy until the pain goes away.

You probably shouldn't worry about it. If they aren't decent enough to explain it to you so you can understand, you shouldn't have to tip toe around them. Call it whatever you want, and when they complain, tell them to fuck off.

It works for me, but then again, I'm American. So pissing off europeans doesn't really bother me much at all.

In real Japanese taiyaki, is the pancake part sweet, or not? 😕

I've made three recipes over the past two days, two sweet and one not; they're all good but I've never had REAL taiyaki so I don't know if any of them turned out like the real thing or not. 🤣

I say it depends on who makes 'em / the recipe.

From the ones I've eaten, the dough tastes like...dough. It's the fillings that make it sweet.

If the maker wants it super sweet, I don't see the reason not to make the dough sweet as well.

I actually have 2.

1.) How does the whole addition of releases gets approve? Is the approval job divided between the Admins and each get specific genres? Or whoever happens to see it first, approves or disapproves?

I'm just really curious, because sometimes there are tons of updates and I want to know who approves all those...

2.) If I wanted to change my MU name to something else, all I have to do is go to my User CP and fill out the request change, right?

I'm contemplating this...

Yea, i was told that's how most users do it.

I've always just pm'd an admin...but it seems more effective that way.

Because the internet is serious business.

Actually, i didn't actually expect to be picked when i applied, since was a semi-spammer at that point, but i applied because...well...i don't really know?

Maybe to try and help keep things in order on a site as useful as this?

Because I wanted to contribute.
Though I didn't think I'd be picked...

Pretty sure I already know the answer but new posts from the Adult & Yaoi/Yuri sections don't show up at the top do they?

What do you mean in the top? If you mean in the lil part at the side of the releases page, it does.

By top I mean on the homepage where it says "Latest Topics" right under the Stop Tazmo.
I've seen it on the side...I think. But not on that top part
