the greatest love story of the 21st century is me and my wife obviously but the SECOND greatest love story is the one between Vince Gilligan and the city of Albuquerque

One of the boy’s favorite things to watch is a Japanese YouTube channel called “Norimono Town.” My favorite part is that all of the vehicles are voiced-acted and sometimes you get a piece of heavy equipment that is also a sultry lady. youtu.be/tcQn9kNGFuQ

New article on ★ daiz.moe ★ Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason daiz.moe/crunchyroll-... A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes! Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
