    I expect so. I did want to let them know it was actually legit, despite the irregularities, too. And if I cannot translate the manual its going to be useless to me - but dammit, it has a dumpling function! And a 'WTF is THAT?' function! Judging from the pictures. XD So it might be worth messing with Google Translate.

    You know, at least there isn't a button with a mushroom cloud on it.

    ...but if it did, think of the fun! :D

    Rats. Turns out that when its a legit third-party seller item, they aren't so nice and were going to bill me. So I'm returning it as soon as FedEx calls to schedule a pickup. I boxed it back up immediately, so I have no idea if that fish floss looking stuff in the manual was a fish floss/drying function, or what the heck that weird orderly spaghetti was. Oh well, back to waiting for one in english. XD

    (A rant about 5 members in this board will conquer with)

    WHERE IS THE HELL IS MY JOJO PART 6 STONE OCEAN ANIME!!?!??! I mean, come on David Production, usually, there is a year, normally two years between each part of the anime with Part 1&2 being done in 2012 (as 1 season), The first half of part 3 in 2014, the second half being animated 2015, with Part 4 coming a year later in 2016 (when the English dub started). Lastly, Part five started in 2018 and ended almost a year ago in a month and there is no sign of part 6 even happening outside of assumptions. Usually, they would have dropped a teaser or at least let us know it was coming. I just want it to happen already so I can get my Steel Ball Run anime!

    Why don't the Daleks shoot the doctor? They just stand there lifting their gun hand thingies up and down and listen to him and they never learn that when they have him surrounded and he starts talking they should just shoot him. Whenever he talks he either has a plan or is stalling for time.Whats wrong with them.They've been doing it for thousands of years and haven't learned anything.

    As of 5:44am, my item "has arrived at a carrier facility"...

    WHAT THE FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

    EDIT: -UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuooooooooo-oh... Kinda jumped the gun there... It arrived but as I opened the book, the outer binding fell off. So it is in 2 pieces. I'm not angry, just annoyed. I thought "eh, a little glue can handle this." But I can't find the damn glue. Why is it when I need something its NOWHERE to be found? What?, Do they grow legs and be like "I'm out, bitch." and leave my house?

    I was about to leave to the store for glue but its raining and foggy. Looks like Silent Hill outside. I'll get it later.

    Apparently the glue that was used in the factory that made the strategy guides for The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap was of poor quality so if I ordered another copy of the guide, I would get the same result. I'm buying glue in the morning.

    The past 4 years of my life in highschool i went through alot. Even a time where i thought about suicide and dark thoughts.

    this time right now should feel like all i went through paid off, but it don’t. We picked up our cap n gowns and it just didn’t even feel happy. I don’t feel excited. It just feels all for nothing n meaningless. I’m looking forward to my next paycheck more then i am for picking up my diploma and the chance we get a “real” graduation in August

    :(

    Just so you know, you'll get the same feeling following a "real" graduation. Your four years were basically nothing, and your real life starts from the end of high school on.

    Yeah, I thought high school graduation was going to be liberating but turned into a sad moment in my young life. Mostly because I thought I was going to lose my friends. I'm happy that didn't happened. I've kept in touch with most of my friends throughout the years. Most are on Facebook.

    To be fair we're only getting one side of the story.

    So I've been watching old commercials of Quiznos with The Spongemonkies and it been at least 15 years since I've eaten there and I know they closed some stores throughout the country so I googled them, found their website, entered my zip code and the closest Quiznos is almost 20 miles from me. That is too far for me.

    moved out about a month and some days ago from my parents to my gramas due to my mom and some of my dads toxic ways. Whole bunch of reasons. I was miserable there and quarantine put the nail in the coffin that i had to get out.

    Even tho i cry sometimes because i miss my dogs and my little brother, and have had them in my dreams recently i have been happier. In the time since, i also Bought my first car , got a second job and really just have a clear goal of what i plan to do in the coming years, and i have what i wanted from my parents but never got...Support. They weren’t gonna support me going to barber school. Wanted me to go into the medical field. Which i have absolutely ZERO interest in.

    Had to throw out a bottle half full of superglue because the stupid design of the dropper had meant glue had gotten into the cap. Had to use a combination of a rubber mat and a quick-clamp to twist the damn thing off and it literally tore the entire dropper head right off.

    Next time I'm buying the fucking tubes.

    And that's on top of the fact a difficult kit I've been building over the course of staying home to work had to be almost completely torn down and rebuilt because I was dumb and didn't quadruple-check some measurements against the master plans. Weeks worth of progress lost over 3/32 inches of length. On the bright side, I'm glad I caught this now and not later after I'd made some cuts into the wood walls - this kit is from the 1970s and getting replacement pieces is impossible.

    I'm guessing you didn't even try to meet them in the middle and say you would look into becoming a Trichologist - a medical professional who studies hair.
