It's like posters here haven't even read the Nation of Islam scriptures on Yakub. White people clearly were an artificial invention made to deceive and destroy, but became SO good at deceiving and destroying, that despite being naked savages unable to invent "shoes", while Black Men had moon bases and satelites, they lept up and took down those starships with rocks and sticks, and took over the entire world.
Robots don't have genders. The commentator is a T-2000.
Canada and the USA are brothers. They fight and bicker and tease and mock, but they're brothers at the end of the day: The moment they don't help each other out, is the moment we should all realize something has gone catastrophically wrong. Canadians will fix some power lines, Americans will help douse some wildfires.
But in hardship, you learn who your friends are. And the answer is... Just that brother. Crickets from the rest. Mexico's non-presence is understandable, the hurricane hit them too, they gotta fix their own shit before fixing others' stuff, but the rest of the world seems... lacking.
Yeah! That's why you want Kamala to win! Because she doesn't do DEI with tax dollars! Fuck yeah! And she hates the jews! Yeah!
Oh wait, no she won't. And remember every vote not for one party, IS a vote for the other. Or more mathematically, it changes the victory margin by half the amount a vote would, in the favor of the other party: 20 votes for Trump, 20 votes for Kamala, you choose NOT to vote for Trump, that's 19 votes to 20, Kamala wins, your action supported and caused Kamala to win. If you do so through laziness or ineptitude, well, that's standing aside from the political system. But you looked at the setup, analyzed it, and said "I want to give a half-vote FOR this person." That's the awful flaw of a 2-party system, but it is a thing nonetheless.
Weird to jump to rape fantasies when people are just talking about ineffectice police and exactly who you'd expect to be mass-murdering going mass-murdering.
Why do you like to think of raping innocent women when the topic has nothing to do with it? Do you need a clock we can set by you, to ready to reset?
I went to get alternative subs because Railgun's official subs translated Onee-sama as "sissy" and haven't come back since. Whenever a HorribleSubs reminds me of the original hackjobs, I tune out entirely from the series. No merch purchases, no manga or LN sales.
Piracy literally increases the revenues for these companies. I would buy licensed figmas of Onee-sama, I would not buy them of Sissy. Ranma is risking sales by giving it to this... entity.
And then recently had an almost half-year-long comic arc about how Jews harm everything (subtitled "Down The Rabbi Hole"). Even the follow-up to the linked comic has them wondering "who makes these harmful government decisions?" and then it pans over to The Happy Merchant caricature. Dude can't figure out where he exists on the political compass, a living example of the saying "if you're not a liberal in your 20s you have no heart, if you're not a conservative in your 30s you have no brain.".
First movie: Shoestring budget, massive profits.
Follow-up: Blockbuster budget, massive losses.
Same IP, same actor... And same old story of Hollywood hating its audience.
If the disaster relief is active duty and being paid, they should be mobilizing. Lost kid in the woods? FEMA it, it's good practice. Government building spring a leak? Time for your flood damage assessment practice! Absolutely, truly, veritably nothing to do? Go feed the homeless at a shelter, it's practice for food distribution.
Anyone able to go a full day at work without working at least half of it, is being actively malicious to their company. And when that company is government-funded, that means they're being actively malicious to their entire country.
Nah. Once you fire the worst 25%, the other 25% will showcase themselves as simply NPC toadies, and switch their gears to support New Thing.
BSOD. Allcaps, as it is a shortform. Blue Screen Of Death. An older term for when a Windows-OS computer suffered from a major error and needed to force-restart itself (or even earlier than that, simply shut down).
Even if it was "localized", it's still likely more accurate than Kado's shoddy translation work.
A void is still an identifiable entity. If you have [Joe], [Tyrone], [Steve], [Mary], [REDACTED], [Charlie], that's still a pretty notable listing.
Bot-filtering is a tough one. The only real way it can be done is a mandatory singular introduction-post with descriptive skill-testing questions, and then a person manually approving the account for general posting. But that's both labor-intensive, and an ideal spot for the discord-moderator-types to infiltrate.
In Tales of Maj'Eyal, there's a "hidden tomb" that your character automatically finds early-mid-game. In a turn-based grid-movement RPG, it's filled TO THE BRIM with super high damage long range sniper casters. Even on normal, you're dying unless you git gud. And it's a roguelike, enjoy the two-three hour reroll to get back to that point. That ritual site is full of winding corridors and sharp corners, and the enemies will usually never hurt their own team, usually, so the entire engagement is all about learning your own positionals, and engaging tactically.
Even knowing this, many experienced players stand by skipping the dungeon entirely, because the nature of its time-limited appearance and appearing so early, before many classes have good movement or long-range-fighting options. It is, however, core to MANY unlocks in the roguelike system, so everyone will need to learn how to not stand in the crossfire of 50 rot mages eventually.
It isn't "not crediting the product", it's making a private one-off fork of the product that happens to be the exact release one. The joys of open source work.
Still cheaper than The Acolyte.
Length of maintaining a declaration does improve validity. More time to let something slip or forget to upkeep a lie. 5 years of streaming, including long segments of continuous always-online streams where she would actually sleep on-stream, it is hard to maintain "character" when you're tired, but even moreso when you suddenly wake up.
It's not a voice changer at the Zen point. It's speech-to-text, then garden variety text-to-speech. Most voice changers keep the original audio waves, there's no way to reverse-engineer those from the way Zen does it. 0% original voice.
If a modern study came out to reassure us that gravity does still exist, and the MSM went all adoring and bonkers and slavering all over the study, I'd go out and drop an apple on the ground just to be sure.
Game devs have only so many hours in a week/month/year. If they're working on coding something, they must sacrifice time coding something else. That alone is argument enough against a lot of the "harmless" things these people insist on injecting into video games: For every "feature" added, there's one more game-breaking-bug not fixed, one more facial expression that is janky, one more "the train isn't actually a train, just a person with a giant train-like hat, hidden in the ground, because we didn't have time to make an actual train" incident.
"lowering overhead valves"
Oh god, as a tall, tall man, I can already predict all the taller submariners scalping themselves on valves that are lowered below 6 feet to let the poor 4 foot tall women reach them.
It was not so much an experiment as a film directed by an abusive and excessively micromanaging director. I wouldn't call it "uncontrolled" at all: Every facet of it was being heavily pushed by the "studier".
Anycolor, or Nijisanji, is a vTuber production company with a bit of fame for being an extremely bad workplace. Nijisanji EN, the English branch, has gained a fair bit of infamy for one of their talents, one of their vTuber idols, becoming effectively the Chief Operations Officer of the branch despite just being a female model, and the whole office going matriarchal politics. A fairly famous vTuber got fired because this queen bee didn't like her, and the circumstances of her firing were that she was fired while she was in a hospital, generating some minor negative coverage. The main branch noted that the firing of a hospitalized Selen would be "financially negligible", in a now-famous meme phrase, but the ol' queen bee didn't think that was enough, and went on a full smear campaign of her, after Selen was already fired. They keep harassing her company-wide, working as an independant, to this day, as an organized hate mob.
The main Japanese offices are a bit better, but not much. It's a very poorly organized company, Nijisanji, and them letting matriarchal-style-politics and bullying dictate how their company runs, or rather, how it falters, has led to some having an interest in its ongoing downfall as an organization.
It's only tangentially adjascent to the main thrust of this .win, but many people here do have an interest in vTubing/anime culture alongside video game culture, and so the second/third largest company in the scene's stumbling because they insist on simping is of note to the OP, I assume.
My question is how Goblet Of Fire somehow pulls 400 whole places ahead of all other Harry Potter movies, man-side.
