It's a typical trait of this kind of dementia. There's a nugget of truth to the story, but they're making up most of the details on the fly, because they can't remember any of them. If they are a good enough storyteller, they might keep it coherent enough to avoid appearing as far gone as they really are.
I can't imagine how bad this will get if they force Biden through for another four years.
For better or worse, it was mostly drowned out by Akira Toriyama's death this year.
The death of a legend is tragic, but a feed full of heartfelt tributes is far more palatable than artificial, meaningless, corporate garbage about girl power.
Takes rip of bong
"Dude... if there's a party of division, shouldn't there be parties of addition subtraction, and multiplication too?"
"I dunno dude, I wouldn't want to be the party of subtraction, that would be totally negative dude."
"Yeah, we should totally be the party of addition, that would be totally rad, man!"
"Cool... Cool... but then, who is the party of multiplication?"
"Dude..."
I think most people are aware Japan has it's own share of problems, especially in major cities where the work culture and conformity are at their maximum, but what people find refreshing is that these are an entirely different set of problems from our own.
More and More, Japan's problems seem relatively quaint and managable on the grand scale. There's always a chance that a decade of good governance could right the ship, and deal with the worst of it.
In comparison, people are losing hope that the west can be fixed at all. For many, destruction of western culture seems immanent. I'm not that black pilled, but I can see where they are coming from. In any case, it would probably take more than a decade to resolve the issues we find ourselves mired in.
(Unless this all ends in fire, that can fix issues astonishingly fast. However, that's an even more undesirable solution for most.)
Yeah. My thoughts as well, just with the addition of, "I can understand why this won awards." Normies are so used to generic slop that a somewhat clumsily executed sci-fi story must be mind blowing for them. The whole thing felt like a Heroes mashed together with invader Zim. Just aping things from the early 2000s is enough to stand out these days. It wasn't excellent, but it sure must have seemed unique if you're used to Hollywood's usual faire.
Western Super Hero comics are bloated beyond belief. No one knows where to start or what's good. Self contained stories with a beginning and an ending might work, but doing that requires you to start with a new IP, and stand out in an oversaturated market.
Might make more sense to have a different genre be your first IP, then launch your superhero off the back of that.
It's a rough market right now, for sure.
Does professor X ever have to face the fact that mindraping people is unforgivably evil, or does it just get handwaved away because he's been designated as a good guy?
Just this panel gets me completely on the blob's side.
I think it's interesting how The timing of everything lines up. In the months leading up to this Niji EN lost basically all their big guns whose popularity could have buoyed them. I don't know the numbers, but wasn't Selen basically Nijisanji ENs biggest remaining name? Seems shortsighted not to predict that she might be more popular than what's left of the company.
Because you two are talking nonsense. There were a number of very effective vaccines developed before the 1980s that wiped out some pretty nasty diseases.
Just because they got all the low hanging fruit, and developed more and more unnecessary ones in pursuit of profit doesn't invalidate that.
Dogma for or against vaccines is dangerous. It's a technology, and like all technology it can be used well or used poorly, and one should educate themselves rather than blindly trust it to work.
I've been wondering... Is it possible to use an old version of the Vaccine schedule?
In 1995 there were like 5 shots which seems reasonable. Now there are nearly 20 which is not.
I don't know, I just feel as though it might be prudent to pick and choose rather than dismissing or accepting wholesale.
What happened in 2016? Trump got elected? Brexit referendum? Are there any tangible horrors they're referring to beyond losing elections?
What's one thing that happened in 2016 that could be considered a horror? No, your team losing at what might as well be reskinned football is not a horror. Trump didn't even take office until the beginning of 2017, and Brexit took way longer than that.
Why is 2016 the year to remember?
The only point they even have here is that the guy and the girl are mismatched. I kind of agree, but mostly because the male character is so dry. He doesn't look like he had as much effort put into him. If the character's tones don't match, it's not the girl I'd change.
I have actually done generation on a 6650XT before. Its mediocre at best, and there are a lot of caveats. Do you daily drive Linux and are willing to do debugging? If so, it's possible to get it working at about half the speed of an equivalent Nvidia card. Otherwise, don't bother.
If you really want to torture yourself with AI on a cheap, janky card, a P40 is a much more rewarding card for a smaller headache.
If you don't want to deal with a bunch of bullshit though, get a Nvidia 3070 or better. I say this as someone who owns mostly amd cards.
I'm tempted. from what I hear, even though a lot of it looks jank, the core gameplay loop is solid, it's less buggy than a lot of things that get shit out by AAA these days, and there are a lot of interesting mechanics, that are paced excellently to pop up just as you are wishing for them.
It seems to be an all too common story that people picked up the funny pokemon with guns game to laugh at how terrible it was, only to emerge after an 18hour binge of what has turned out to be a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Yeah, because there's boob physics and then there's boob physics. As everything else gets more realistic, static breasts look more awkward, like the character is made of plastic, if they don't bounce a little.
Its pretty noticeable in anime when the big titty waifu runs down a flight of stairs without even a little bounce at the end. Of course that's in 2d where it's less realistic, and the bounce has to be animated by hand. Leaving it out is much more noticeable in 3d, and implementing such basic physics interaction is trivial in any modern engine. (Rigging and modeling might need to account for it, but it's become easier from that end too.)
There's a big difference between gainaxing with each breast having its own physics calculation and taking over a full second to come to rest, and a character's breasts taking just a split second to catch up to a change in velocity. The first looks silly and sexualized (not that there's anything wrong with that in the right situation) while the second is basically needed for an animation to feel satisfying at all if the character is sufficiently realistic and has a medium sized or larger bust.
"Far-sighted" huh?
That actually sort of works.
If nearsighted policies act for immediate benefit, and are ignorant of dangerous consequences down the line, then I suppose farsighted ones would be those that are ignorant of dangerous consequences in the here and now, and pursue perceived benefits in the future.
Might be worth attaching some negative stigma to such a descriptor.
Some of this can be blamed on terrible voice acting/ voice directing. Like many English voice actresses, I suspect she pushed her tone over the line from playful teasing straight to cunty.
Though apparently their are other issues, so perhaps this is just a crap localization all around.
