    Then allow me to provide counter-examples.
    • I knew someone in highschool who had entire sleeves of tattoos. He majored in engineering, and my mother who worked in the office at the time told me she'd hear him talking about stuff that boggled her mind, said he was a genius in the making. If I'm not mistaken he was on track to graduate a year early and never changed his major.
    • My ex-girlfriend got a tattoo on the back of her neck in college. Not because her parents disapproved, but because she wanted one. It was fairly modest, she put a lot of thought into it, and she has yet to regret it.
    • Speaking of which, at my first college I knew quite a handful of people with tattoos. They were focused and driven, and they were among the ones who managed to graduate on time. So were most of the weed smokers I knew.
    Yeah, stereotypes do come from somewhere. They come from people being judgemental and generalizing. The stereotypes do not hold true, not nearly enough to be used as criteria to choose who you associate with in social settings and who you hire in professional settings. Just because you know a few people who fit the mold means nothing. Fact is, people don't deserve to be profiled for their life choices, even if they've made some bad ones, because - for instance - just as many people drink and I don't know a one who does it responsibly, yet they all seem to get jobs like it's nothing and nobody minds their smell.

    GUESS

    Real talk tho shoutout to my dog I mean monkey for helping me understand what "The Champion" (ENFP) means to me. Sounds weird but I really do think his character helped me figure myself out a little bit.

    SO HYPE FOR LIL MAC YOU HAVE NO IDEA

    I had a feeling the assist trophies were a test bed for new characters. Now I'm sincerely hoping we get Isaac and Shadow as well. And I wonder if there's any chance of the W101 showing up in the game... From what I've read Kamiya would be honored, but obviously nobody can talk about it even if it's a possibility.

    Log Horizon
    Ongoing24 episodesScience Fiction/Fantasy/Adventure/Mystery/You Die in the Game You Die in Real Life
    Another of the handful of .HACK clones out there today, but this one differentiates itself in many intriguing ways right off the bat. One of the smartest and most charming shows I've seen in a long time - tackles a lot of grand, mature subjects in and out of gaming, but stays relatable throughout and never loses sight of the little things. Starts a little slow, but quickly gets several gripping subplots rolling at once and manages be tense and dramatic even when it seems the characters haven't a care in the world. Recommended for MMO geeks, deep thinkers, and generally people who like things that are good.

    Pretty much the polar opposite of the above: From the people who brought you Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and apparently an even bolder expression of their latent nudist fancies, welcome to a world where clothes are weapons and removing them is not just creepoid, it's survival. As fanservicey as humanly possible, but within that is a strangely genuine moral for girls about confidence and self-image, not to mention a generous helping of strong and varied female characters (and let's be real, if you're getting randy to this show it's probably from all the cute boys and their tight butts). And of course, these are people who've rolled with Gainax before so you KNOW the plot is gonna be a f██kin' mess by the end. Just beware that emotional rollercoaster, you'll get whiplash if you lean the wrong way.

    Let me ask you something then. Well, several somethings. How many people do you know with tattoos? Do you know them for a fact to be hasty, whimsical, "free spirited" (which doesn't even sound like a bad thing) or rebellious? Do you know for a fact they have tattoos for those reasons?
