There are exactly two reasons tengo celos when it comes to the UK's Tenchi TV-viewing experience: 1) This, 2) They got an Aneka cover for Tenchi in Tokyo ads, I mean how perfect is that? 😭 Anyway, 1) is indeed an odd little mystery!

Another few that are surprisingly effective at disarming terminally online 'debate me, bro' right-wingers irl: - What do you care? - What have [trans people/'illegal' immigrants, etc] ever done to you, personally? - When did Biden supporters storm the Capitol and kill cops? Refresh my memory.
