That’s weird, the 🧲cloud storage🧲 I use never goes away

5e.tools is a hydra. You’re free to download the entire thing and host it yourself. If Wazi decides to take it down, a dozen more will take its place

Don’t just say “goons,” say Pinkertons. Actual literal union organizer murdering Pinkertons.

Lmao yeah me trading an hour worth of work for a meal that I will consume is the same thing as me trading an hour of work for a nebulous pile of 1s and 0s and hoping some dipshit will pay 2 hours worth of work for them later

Yeah, but AVGN himself didn’t actually plagiarize anyone, right? It’s the network in charge of his channel that did

Hey, you can name and shame, it’s alright. The video was the wildly popular Man In Cave, by the wildly popular youtuber Internet Historian. He wholesale ripped off Lucas Reilly’s Mental Floss article about the incident, pretended it was taken down because of youtube’s famously awful copyright strike system, and then re-uploaded a hastily edited version that less obviously (but still obviously) rips off Reilly’s article.

Depends on what you’re knowing. The world only starts to look worse and worse when you learn more about geopolitics and climate change. I’ve never had new knowledge about orbital mechanics or lockpicking or 3d printing give me a negative outlook on life, except for the fact that most people don’t know how things orbit, don’t know how vulnerable their front door is, and think 3d printed guns are something to be worried about

While most anime doesn’t sexualize minors, a lot of it does, and unfortunately what comes to a lot of people’s minds when we talk about anime is either stuff like Naruto and DBZ where two guys shout at each other until someone wins, or stuff like Kill La Kill where a female character’s power level is seemingly determined by how small their clothes are. Anime would have a much better reputation if shows like ACCA and Mushishi were the ones everyone knew about.
I feel like I want to watch this some more if I could have not seen this scene.
To be fair, that is the only questionable scene in the show. I highly recommend watching it, I’d hate for your only experience of Steins;Gate being the worst scene in it

Dog, car, motorcycle, radio. Zombie apocalypses ain’t shit, I live in America. One dude is gonna bite someone and get turned into pink mist by every nearby CCW dude. Those would all be cool to have when we start rebuilding in a week

In chrome, you can open the three dot menu at the top right, hit Share, and then hit print, then click the arrow at the top right and select Save as PDF. Hit the yellow PDF button, then select where to save it to.
On Firefox, you can open the Share menu and save the page as a PDF directly from there.
Or at least I can on my phone

I’m talking specifically about the scene where Okarin grope Luka. It’s one scene, he’s rightfully called out for being a dickhead by everyone, but it’s still uncomfortable to watch
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I mean a lot of it does, there’s a reason it’s part of the stigma against anime
Even some shows that I otherwise really like have an uncomfortable amount of sexualization of minors. A Certain Scientific Railgun, Steins;Gate, Gate, Gurren Lagann, to name a few
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
Agreed but not really relevant here

I ain’t gonna take this blasphemy sitting down. Jad Saxton, Chris Rager, Yuri Lowenthal, Brina Palencia, Crispin Freeman, Johnny Yong Bosch, I’ll fight a mf that says Cherami Leigh lacks soul
English dub VAs don’t get enough credit, it’s damn hard matching mouth movements that were made for a different language
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
How exactly tf do you know how good a voice actor is if you can’t understand their language, accent, or inflections? Do you reckon maybe American voice actors aren’t treated well has more to do with the elitist attitude weebs have regarding them than their skill levels?
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I dunno, man; let people enjoy things, right?
That’s my feelings, it just gets annoying when people feel a need to spout out that you’re an illiterate moron unprovoked all the time. That’s the kind of thing that can drive an otherwise live-and-let-live guy to start an argument
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
That’s even more confusing to me
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I can’t fathom how having your eyes free to watch the show and using your ears to listen is more distracting than having to read subtitles while listening to what amounts to incomprehensible noise
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
Same shit I heard on reddit. As long as redditors and lemmings are disappointed in me, I’m happy with where I’m at in life.
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
That doesn’t make any sense. By that logic, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the English localization team to not listen to the dub?
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
I speak English, and like using my ears and my eyes, which is why I watch dubs. If you don’t speak Japanese, what are you doing listening to Japanese speaking voices?
- Comment on subs > dubs 11 months ago:
They should all go the 4Kids Yu Gi Oh route and give the characters American names like Joey and Tristan

If you think this about Baccano or Cowboy Bebop, your opinion is factually incorrect

I’m pretty sure the only good song dubs I’ve heard were from Belle. Sucks that the movie is so impressively mid

NaNoWriMo? It’s a push to get that writing project out of your brain and onto paper, it’s super helpful for some people just to have something telling them to do the thing.
NNN? Test of self control. “I can quit any time I want” is something addicts say when they can’t quit any time they want. It’s also super easy, if it feels like masochism to not nut for more than a week, you’re addicted.
No shave november? Pure, unadulterated laziness.
- Comment on Glad it's almost over 11 months ago:
Can confirm, at least one person has done NNN and no shave november. It’s really easy, you just have to not do a thing and you’re set
