Though on the topic of his work almost killing him. Because he works with folks who are one way or another, young or old, not all there mentally. It is not considered a good idea for men in his line of work to wear long sleves. or a tie.

oh?

Last story about his work. Back when he was in private practice I was working for him. (this was decades ago) This guy came in who would not stop talking about his experiences in Vietnam. He seemed to be mostly fine, but refrenced everything back to Vietnam.

lost my prostate in NAM

He was seeing my dad for a TBI related to falling off his roof.

So here's the thing.

too a vitvongo hooker

He was in his thirties (in the 90's).

This guy had never even BEEN to vietnam.

lolllllllllllllll

The only thing more amazing than the human brain is all the horrible things that can go wrong with it.

>tfw your also a 29 year old vietnam vets as well in 2018

At least he wasn't some stolen valor guy. He really thought he'd beenn in vietnam.

That would actually be a good supporting character for a movie/tv show.

so he was mentally ill or dissatisfaction

he thought he was a real vet

There's one younger guy comiserating with a bunch of Vietnam vets about their experiences. Someone pulls one of them aside and asks what's up with that one guy who's a good 30 years younger than everyone else, and obviously lying. The guys explains to him the guy isn't lying *per se* He genuinely believes he is a Vietnam Vet since a car accident.

holy shit thats epic

So they let him hang out. Especially since he then only one who's back/knees aren't messed up.

Bleah

Ok

Ready for my doomsday prophecy for how the ruinous powers will eventually destory anime and manga?

drop it sonnn

Ok this is gonna be on the long side.

Let's start with American superhero comics. We'll get to the anime eventually.

Superman was created in 1938. While hollywood had a relationship with the character since the beginning, it took them until 1976 to really, really nail it hard.

ok super man got it

Sorry 1978. That's forty years.

After that they tried to get it to work again, but didn't really succeed until 1989's Batman movie

That's another eleven years.

After that they *still* had a ton of trouble translating comics to film. Which doesn't make much sense. You could Literally use a comic book as a storyboard.

and at least part of a script.

true

But they kept plugging away trying to crack that nut. there were some successes (Blade, Spider-Man) but Marvel themselves eventually nailed it so Hard with Iron Man that Disney bought them.

Since then, marvel at least has been cranking it out.

So it took from 1938 to 2008 to really perfect superhero movies. Now it's a major part of the Hollywood landscape. Huge moneymaker.

Now I have to ask you a terrible question. Are you Familiar with Bob Chipman?

yeap

That will save us some time. Watch this (cancer warning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmXA08jzUfc

Just as an aside let's take a moment to reflect that we live in a world where Bob Chipman Is still alive. but total busicut got butt cancer so bad it turned him into an SJW before it killed him

Darkest freakin' timeline.
