Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
There's certain content -- certain types of gore, certain furry content, etc -- that gives me "the ick".
Sometimes I remember that many people get the same "ick" feeling from anime art in general, particularly the type of anime art that gets criticized as "overly-sexualized".
What are some times when you were reminded of the unbridgeable gap between different modes of perception?
For icks, I share celluloid_dream's loathing of the rictus-grin-faced youtube promoter. It's not that they're always bad people! But the entire thing looks entirely less human than Reboot-era CGI.
For the other direction... I don't have the same variation-desire most people seem to have, especially around food. Every time I run into someone that makes a decision around not wanting to repeat something they did the day before and liked, it's a bit of a non-sequitur.
My wife loves eating the same thing at the same place if she liked it, while my modus operandi (again, parental influence) is "you're on vacation, you have to try as many different things as possible!". We compromise on going to the same place until I complain that I've tried every thing that caught my eye.
