holy shit that island the cryptoland guys were talking about is actually for sale, but it wasn't bought by them They've been selling plots they don't have domain over
I don't even really understand what it does Like I get that when you stake 'em you get some % of the profits but is that it, they're just monopoly tokens you hold to get paid dividends?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i think its like all the other incentive tokens stake for crazy APR earn by interacting with the app recipe for getting rugged
Yeah it seems too shady for me to risk it But I might dump some coin into it if it starts looking like a contender for like, The New Opensea Always interested in those stakes
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
best course of action is to sell on looksrare and then convert to eth immediately?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean sell something for the rewards* they might even payout in eth nah its gotta be the toke
S C
the rewards are probably looks, yeah but it's gonna be such a low amount you may as well just stake those rewards and see if they compound decently over a while Worst case you lose a few dollars, you know
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
true true yeah maybe its a good buy now with OS getting wrecked who knows
my main issue is I need ETH to buy it, and to get eth I gotta transfer it from binance to my wallet, and that's expensive in its own right, and then the transaction to get looks ALSO costs gas, so I'm paying like $100 for some amount of looks
it's basically gotta be a big investment for it to make any sense whatsoever, and I don't like that I guess I could buy them with something else though, but I dunno what can be traded for it with low fees
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
there's also a like emission schedule to check in LOOKS i think? like they have some kinda decaying payouts and whenever time gets close to a decrease the token will dump
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1028738 ywah it doesnt make sense right now unless ur a whale wait for L2 withdrawals and app support to be available to dodge the gas fees
I mean right now is the time it makes the most sense getting a hold of looks is never gonna be less payout than it is now stakewise, at least
but I'm waiting on it, I can't let myself just dump money in whenever I see something that looks tasty, I'll go broke like some weirdo without a budget going to vegas
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
holding eth is always good
S C
I do have some eth, though it's in binance cause that's where I'll eventually sell it anyway other stuff I've got in its own wallet, but eth is far too expensive to move
Honestly this is one reason crypto will likely never see mass adoption Just the whole "everything more advanced than a direct point A to point B movement is a little piece of software in its own right" thing, while cool in concept, ends up being an enormous security flaw for, well, everything that isn't a direct transfer akin to giving someone a $50 bill
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah, the optics on this are pretty bad its not the first or the last rug tho crypto marches on we shall see if it ever reaches maturity
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i think there will have to either be a sea change in ethereum or a protcol beyond it there are not nearly enough guardrails right now at the same time, there is insane opportunity haters will say it's fake
I mean I hope it changes, in a sense, but at the same time it doesn't bode well that what is, conceptually at least, the simplest possible smart contract I can think of can be vulnerable to this sort of thing In theory, it shouldn't need to do anything more advanced than like "If I receive xETH, I send NFT to the sender, and the ETH to the lister, minus tax" That seems, to my uneducated mind, like something that should be completely rock solid and devoid of avenue for attack
>>1028758 opensea is far from simple that much is certain when it comes to software, simplicity on the surface obsfucates wacky shit underneath to preserve the illusion of simplicity
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
it seems like for this attack, people had to be phished by email to approve something ahead of time a sophisticated attack to be sure
yeah, I get that, too it's just that it makes me REALLY worried about anything more conceptually advanced than such a contract Like how secure can anything be trusted to be when it starts introducing even more moving parts than that, you know? I'm sure the people doing the programming are checking their work and dotting the is and everything, but like we just saw here, a slip-up can cost some users... I mean BAYC are valued at what, $120-$180K? Cause such large sums are in play, there's not really a second chance

Anyways DEC stands for Digital Equipment Corporation and they were one of IBM's biggest competitors in the mainframe market in the sixties and seventies. Unix was originally developed for a DEC PDP (I forget which model) and a lot legendary MIT projects were done on PDP 11s. DEC also made the VT100 terminal which pretty much every terminal emulator made in the past 30 years has a compatibility mode for it.

>>1028916 Oh the manga one is actually pretty good I know there's an animated show from China too, but I don't trust China of all possible governments to do a trustworthy rendition of Capital

My friend's tankie acquaintance was refusing to look at any evidence she was given about holomordor And just denying it was real
Oh, never heard about that one, then >>1028920 They do be like that Thankfully, the tankie phenomenon seems to be primarily a "few in numbers, lots in posting" thing, there aren't really THAT many of them And they tend to stick to their own weird cult-like parties
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
*Holodomor
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1028922 I have an irl friend who might be a tankie. It's never come up in discussion but my other friend who absolutely hates China said that the other guy was a tankie and that they got in debates on discord about politics.
Hm Well, going by the holodomor denial, they're probably a tankie yeah, though only knowing the other guy really hates china doesn't give me much in terms of trusting his judgment on the matter Being opposed to the Chinese government comes in many flavors, and some of them would call me a tankie just cause that's what they call all the communists
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1028925 The holodomor denialist was someone else
It's not like you're gonna miss many of them with that metric, honestly There's one here and there that doesn't deny it, but they're not super common >>1028929 Possibly in a strict sense, but I don't personally operate with super strict definitions when it comes to stuff like this You've got the deniers, the justifiers, and you've also got some strains of tank that do acknowledge it was bad, but otherwise map onto the other two very, very closely, to the point they seem to have just tactically decided to accept it's bad in order to get a foot in the door
Oh maybe people who say it was justified are also tankies.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1028928 Honestly I think communism is a failed ideology that is historically important because it influenced socialism. I'm not like.a super socialist either because I do like markets to have some freedom.
If you define communism as like, the stuff the USSR and China and other fullblown states were into, yeah, I mean I don't see myself as a communist in that sense The issue with communism is there's a whole boatload of strains of us, and a lot of us don't agree about what it is It's not a "real communism hasn't been tried" thing, it's more of a "what they were even trying to accomplish, failed or otherwise, isn't what the rest of us mean"
Same with socialism SocDems of various stripes will sometimes claim what they're up to is socialism, but everyone to their left, myself included, will tell you that's total bullshit As far as I'm concerned, socialism, communism and anarchism aren't really separable in the first place, it's more like they're different ways of describing the same 'thing' And a lot of ancoms share that view if you hold them down and make them talk straight Others don't, but a lot do
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1028932 Well here's the thing Don't say "real communism hasn't been tried" because it has been tried Everytime people tried to do it it ended up turning into a totalitarian police state.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1028932 Anarchism is absolutely separable because its by definition against the existence of any sort of government.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Okay this is heading into an argument we had several times years ago so I think we should stop now.
S C
>>1028934 That depends what you mean by government, and for the ways anarchists do mean it, that state of affairs isn't separable from communism, because communism is also, definitionally, stateless Well, if you go by marx anyway
but yeah, it's a never ending argument, because like I said, the term doesn't have a total consensus and the lines are drawn around your own worldview It's just how it is One of those "ask 10 christians what christianity is and you'll get 11 answers"

>>1029002 It was in my recommended yesterday, but I have no context when it comes to moistcritical so I didn't watch it for more than like 30 seconds
Did just watch the folding ideas video on chicken nuggets though, and went on to look into the specifics of how animals are slaughtered It's honestly more nightmarish than I thought Some animals are just like, clipped in the skull by a piston or something, knocks them out cold and dead in no time flat, but other animals are basically just rendered unconscious and then bled dry by putting a hole through their throat Wild shit Didn't realize that was a thing that was done, but apparently if you just kill a pig by puncturing its skull like that, it can make the meat shittier, so they're just gassed with co2 until they black out
Only reason I looked into it was because I wondered how it's actually done, since Jamie Oliver's argument is that the cooking process of nuggets being gross is somehow a reason not to eat them, and as I suspected, no meat production is free from abhorrently gross procedures

it's not even shape rotation, it's just recognizing which two are matches I didn't need to rotate anything in my head, they were both there on the screen pre-rotated didn't even need to conjure the shape in my brain box
i got 16 but that was kinda dumb you could literally spam click all the options faster than that if you wanted sometimes they're not even rotated
in one case there were two sets of matching shapes but it only accepted one pair i know the other pair was an actual pair because they were both just 2d squares

The only thing that makes sense is I maybe stabbed it with my thumbnail while picking at my toenails or something, but that was hours ago I mean, it has to be a while ago, it's dried up and everything, but how didn't I feel anything How did I not even notice before now? Am I insane? Did I lose time?
I mean it's possible, but it's deep in there I do pick at my lips a lot I think I'm kinda perpetually dehydrated or something, they're always raspy and annoying, the bottom lip anyway, top lip is fine

I can certainly give it a try, but being entirely honest, picking at my lips is kinda therapeutic too It's a habit more than anything, though I'll give it a try. If nothing else, if I don't have pieces to grab onto, I can't pick at it

yeah it's okay but i don't like that stuff to much like chips and puffs and stuff in general don't sit right with me but those are better than the typical american ones not sure if there's a name for that class of snacks?
thailand has some of the best snacks but korean's good too i like the ones that are like dehydrated vegetables and sesame balls and those tiny dried fish those are my favorite
oh shit they're adorable they appear to be made the same way as funyuns
i love lappland

i went to the H Mart today and you know i can't walk out with a box of these bad boys
i love lappland

i'm always afraid of fish ones because powdered shellfish get used a lot as seasoning
I desire dried fish snacks but they're absurdly expensive but they're so good

if i order it online it's stupidly expensive but if i go to the chinese farmers market in st louis it's like $3 for a huge bag substantially cheaper than american snacks of equal volume

im steaming pork bratwursts and putting it in angel hair pasta with sharp cheddar angel hair is so good but i don't understand why isn't pasta all the same but just in different shapes angel hair is just "really thin spaghetti" but it's way better than spaggets
i don't sauce my pasta not red sauce at least too tangy, too zesty, detracts from the pasta itself
some garlic and herbs or white sauce, or even cheese (not sauce/creamy, just normal cheese melted into it) is all good though like if im doing mac n cheese, i don't want the kraft creamy homogenous yellow sludge i want clumps of melted cheese clumping bits together and offering contrast
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
what spaghetti is basically a vector for bolognese sauce imo i dont even care about da noodle

got some rice and coconut milk for one day soon too gotta figure out what to go with that

with angelhair i usually just put a little butter and garlic and herbs de provence in a skillet and then add a little bit of pasta water and mix that into the pasta i don't usually have pecorino sitting around but if i buy pasta i might buy some too and that can be good to add as well

>>1029227 I would like to make bang with the statue of liberty
But also yeah, the guy who actually made that music is like, a fucking genius He even used some of the restrictions of the soundchip to his advantage, from what I've learned Like sometimes it'll make a raspy noise, but it's done deliberately
the old nintendo systems really had some of the most incredible soundtracks well, even still they do, but they do kind of lack a bit of that same soul because the sound chips are so advanced now Like you can load in an mp3 nowadays, so you don't end up with these super iconic and memorable music tracks a lot of the time
Skyrim's music is used a lot for many purposes, for example, but it's like... not really that memorable, actually, it's just atmospheric and versatile
The restrictions really made them go so hard
Anno
I've watched a lot of 8-Bit Music Theory's videos which analyze certain aspects of video game soundtracks Not just from classic 8/16-bit games but all across the board But when talking those old games he often talks about the inherent restrictions of the old soundchips and how the composer would work with it to create unique tracks
>>1029275 I think it's unfair to modern OST composition to not say there's no memorable and iconic pieces Like Toby Fox has taken his time practicing with old soundcards for Mother romhacks and general musical skill to blend some great music which sounds 8/16-bit but takes modern convenience to make some great music And I can still hum the main theme of Journey even though I've only played/watched maybe five hours of that game tops Some of Zelda's most memorable tracks come from a point when they've no longer needed to rely on simple soundchips for sound Same with some of Uematsu's music for Final Fantasy
I guess it's unfair yeah Still, I feel like video game music nowadays tend to blend into each other a lot more Though, on the other hand, survivor bias There's plenty of stinky music from back in the day too
Anno
Hollow Knight is another game with phenomenal music which is firmly in the "load an mp3" category, but has powerful leitmotifs and uses the full potential of the instruments it has access to

>>1029309 Well this is a rare occasion where the American pronunciation makes more sense The "lieu" part of lieutenant should sound like "loo" or something in that range, not "left" I'm assuming the weirder pronunciation is some British stubborness about French pronunciation, which "lieu" is more in line with
S C
I'll just have to remember the lieu part In lieu of actually learning the word, I'll learn the one bit I can turn into a cognitohazard
i love lappland
>>1029314 why did you start with "well" i'm confused
what are all the ranks in the military anyway? I know the general is either at the top or near it, and the major is below, and then the private is at the bottom, but beyond that it's kinda wishy washy
Anno
>>1029318 Because it's just how I start a lot of sentences It doesn't mean anything but pace setting
i love lappland
the pace being set is the confusing part
i love lappland
>>1029319 in the US, all the different branches have their own ranking systems they're all extremely similar and there's a pay grade attached to the ranks and the pay grades transfer between branches but the ranks don't necessarily it's actually kind of a clusterfuck to try and describe it easily >>1029323 so.... kind of ? but it's so intensely complex how the flowchart of authority functions at a micro level that i'd be explaining exceptions for much much longer than either of us would care for >>1029325 it's kind of like or rather it's exactly like how things work at companies, just that it's more strictly written down with tons of rules people in leadership positions typically have authority over people who aren't but leaders are more directly authorized to direct their authority over the specific groups they are leading and just because your rank is higher than someone does not mean you have any authority over what they're doing the technicality is // the technicality that makes it easier to comprehend is that if you receive and order that conflicts with another order, you should follow the order that comes from the most directly-responsible-for-your-actions source
>>1029322 That seems like something that could be a problem Isn't the whole point of ranks to have a clear and easy way to know who to take orders from and possibly give orders to?
Anno
Also if someone is amping to deliberately make trouble or refuse orders, picking at the inconsistencies of lateral rank across branches is definitely a way they'll go for
Anno
There's also a sense of superiority over other branches Each branch thinks they're more competent than the others so why would they obey someone just because they're a higher rank in the other branch?
>>1029322 Basically, you don't have direct authority over everyone below you, but you do have authority over those directly below you, who in turn have authority over those directly below them?
Anno
The exhausting contradictions and flimsy construction of these military hierarchies is something Catch-22 is really good at satirizing and making fun of
i love lappland
>>1029330 that's probably one of the only simplifications one can make that doesn't have more exceptions than the rule so yeah that's mostly right
Part of me kinda wants to join the military I mean I'm way too old at this point really, and not exactly fit, but I think it's the sorta environment I'd be comfortable in
i love lappland
keep in mind, that every country has very different military cultures and structures so basically everything i say is knowledge of the US military specifically a lot of countries copy others too but keep in mind the US is a relatively new country when we're comparing military traditions and culture
They didn't even want me in the military when the serviceletters came around at 18 I didn't indicate any sort of refusal or anything, I'd have showed up ready to fuckin' go if they asked me to >>1029341 Oh we have a standing army on paper and that's about it There's not a lot of us in the first place, the primary defense here is the domestic defense force Which, from what I've heard through my dad mostly, has caches of weapons and ammunition around the country with a few individuals able to access them (and know where they are in the first place) in case shit gets real Hangover from ww2 We got kinda burned by that shit
i love lappland
i don't know about your country but the US military is a lot more selective than people make it out to be i know two people who were discharged for simply being diagnosed bipolar and it's also naturally selective in that the population within the miltary tends to have very little room for nails who won't be hammered in neatly
i love lappland
>>1029340 i think most northern european countries' defense strategies are very much about fighting on the backfoot, guerilla tactics, and strategic retreats
sweden specifically developed a tank that can go backwards as fast as it can go forwards and is very good for retreating, firing, and retreating more literally built for ambushes
yeah we don't really have the population numbers to really support like, an invasion We're in NATO though, so I mean we do send some units into hot zones I would assume, NATO being a strictly defensive alliance is kind of a joke
Anno
Northern European countries are also not in the business of using their military to push new-age imperialistic aspirations With the exception of places southeast Europe and Russia if it can even be considered Europe, pretty much any European army is a defensive one At best they operate in peacekeeping operations of the UN which may or may not have generous intentions
>>1029341 >for simply being diagnosed bipolar That's kind of a big deal. You don't want people with access to military weapons to be having manic episodes.
i love lappland
yeah but people have very different levels of symptoms as they relate to their disorder while i don't think the military is wrong to do so by any stretch, i'm emphasizing here that they don't look at it on a case-by-case basis they simply see the checkmark in the box and process it the end goal of making that statement was to illustrate that there are a lot of things that disqualify one for military service and there isn't usually room for waivers
i just got one of those really intense memory flashbacks that sends shivers down my spine wait is that normal that's normal right yeah there's euphemisms for it so it must be normal
>>1029379 Yeah I get you I have depression but I've never been suicidal I'm still unable to enlist Well even without depression I'd still not qualify but you know what I mean
guy i play tabletop with who just retired after 20 years in the army who i absolutely did not expect to drop such a bomb started talking about kaichou and the whole taiwan thing prefacing it with "so i actually watch these youtubers with virtual avatars" and i immediately thought to myself [oh you don't know]
I kinda want a cheeseburger Even if it's nine in the morning
Anno
I haven't had a good burger in maybe almost a year now A fast food one here and there But ever since I lost access to a barbecue I haven't made any for myself And even the fast food places near here are like a twenty minute walk one way There's a hole in the wall place right next door but I've been perpetually putting off trying out because I get nervous with places like that
>>1029534 Live2D is actually really cool. I wish there were a FLOSS alternative. I bet they have some of the important stuff patented though. I fucking hate software patents.
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Christ those license subscriptions are expensive. Also I hate license subscriptions too. I understand why they exist but they're kind of anti consumer. I think they're okay for B2B though.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah someone's gotta write a better open source version i don't think the patents are much of an impediment, this stuff is so internet native, how do you even enforce it. especially if it were crypto native
>>1029537 how a facerig type software be crypto native how would*
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

I've always liked the night more than the day, really I'm scared of the dark, sure, but the night is quiet and there's nobody else around if I go outside Nothing's open at night though, so of course I try to maintain a Normal Person schedule
Anno
Sure would be nice to live in one of the truly 24/7 cities of the world Where you can go out at 03:00 and get pretty much anything you'd need
>>1029549 ya It's real good >>1029551 One gas station here is open, and mcd's drivethru is 24hrs, but that's about it And gas stations are EXTREMELY overpriced Like their selection is ass, and their prices are like 300% of the grocery store
The stinger leading into the destruction of Emon which kicks off the Chroma Conclave arc was not something I was expecting In the campaign the four Ancient Dragons pretty much curbstomp Vox Machina and they have to frantically escape (I think through a treewalking from Keyleth) and they continue to get beat up for a while It also begins the big MacGuffin quest of the campaign with VM running around Exandria trying to collect Vestiges of the Divergence
S C
Huh I mean I know they changed a few things from the campaign just because like, the medium is different I wonder if they're even gonna finish up the story with the animated show, seems like they'd have to rush it for it to not take actually forever
Anno
Considering they were teasing Vecna all throughout the Briarwood arc Or The Whispered One since they can't use the actual D&D names of things CritRole definitely has aspirations of adapting up until the final fight of the campaign But it definitely a matter of "how do we compress all this" Like the Briarwood arc, which they adapted in ten episodes, was fourteen episodes of the stream, which is like, minimun forty hours -minimum forty hours of content, probably more in the range of fifty The Chroma Conclave arc is forty-four episodes Granted there's a lot of running around and probably some unnecessary plot arcs, and combat in the game can usually be compressed to a few minutes of animation for what took an hour to fight through But I would wager to properly adapt the Chroma Conclave arc they'd need at least two seasons, and probably three
Comparatively the kind of filler arc between Chroma Conclave and Vecna, and Vecna's arc itself, could probably fit into a single season Chroma Conclave can be at times the Hueco Mundo arc of campaign one But it also does have some absolutely amazing moments in it, like the return of Ripley and the actual fights against each dragon, which in the campaign were crazy collaborative fights with guests and NPCs and just brutal combat with the dragons

Anno
Give me Tokyo or give me death But also give me excessive wealth because I wouldn't be able to afford living there
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
tokyo housing is relatively affordable i hear unless you wanna live right in the thick of it of course
Anno
I mean I would want to But I can accept that it's pretty much only if I come into insane wealth that I could Plus no matter how cheap or expensive Tokyo housing is, the real cost of living there is everything else
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
tokyo isn't even 24/7 come to think of it freakin trains shut down overnight
Anno
I would consider 24/7 trains as a luxury, even for a 24/7 city There's still plenty of things in Tokyo that remain open all the time even if the trains are offline
That time when I went to Japan and was in Tokyo for the 2016/7 New Year, and the group I was with was AirBnB-ing an apartment which was like a thirty minute walk from Akihabara That was a dream briefly come true
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
compared to canada tho tokyo living ain't so bad
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1029561 sounds nice i do miss stayin in those hostels and such never tried an airbnb in japan tho
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
ok yea actual living costs in tokyo are pretty high housing has been flat for 20 years tho cuz they keep building housing canada pls
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I think shutting down the trains at night is weird. In Chicago i think only one or two of the train lines shut down. The rest just have fewer trains run.
Anno
>>1029564 >"I won't let you build more affordable small-scale dense residential housing in my neighbourhood! Just think of how it will wreck my property value!" Fuckin' NIMBYers
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1029565 yea i think if you want to really commit to having people live carfree with public transit you gotta have overnight service at some capacity
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Well There's always busses I guess.
Anno
Toronto does have some overnight service Pretty much just a skeleton line of buses I've used it before, you still end up walking most of your route But it does help, at least if you don't enjoy walking in the middle of the night like I do
tokyo and japan is so homogeneous tho i guess you can get away with enforcing it culturally or just go to da clurb and take the 5am train home duhuhu
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
I bet the trains don't run at night because some law says that the train companies would have to pay their night employees more or something.
Anno
>>1029572 There's also places like net cafes or manga cafes Places you can rent out a little cubicle for a few hours where no one will bother you as long as you're not making a disturbance Probably also some 24/7 karaoke bars you could pop in to in the middle of the night too
yeah istayed overnight at a cafe once that is not comfortable also it was the eve of my birthday good times
Anno
I wonder if you could pop into a capsule hotel place at like 02:00 and get a spot The one I was staying at in Kyoto was like $25 a night That's probably not much worse than the rental fees for a cafe and you'd get a better sleep
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Oh it seems busses in Tokyo don't run all night either.
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼

Man I want to travel again Go back to Japan Pandemic travel restrictions probably aren't on track to be at agreeable levels by the summer (and my Japanese is pretty lacking) But maybe returning for winter Comiket later this year is possible
Anno
Although I still want to hit up a summer Comiket just so I can see how awful the Tokyo heat makes it
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
summer in japan is great imo different strokes i wonder if there you can rent one of those traditional country homes

Safe riding
>>1029583 I mean I love summer and I love the heat But every time I say that to people who have been to Tokyo in the summer they insist I don't understand So it's also in part to spite all my doubters that I'd still enjoy it
oh no those are pantsu I thought they were just the shading from the thumbnail
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1029585 you dont undwrstand japan has FOUR seasons very unique!!
Anno
>>1029588 Actually it's all been foreigners who've been there in the summer who have insisted to me on how brutal it is
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yeah fair it's hot and humid thats for sure just the way i like it
Anno
I'm not the biggest fan of humidity but I love the heat and sunlight of summer and anywhere which has that and dryness during the summer tends to be a desert, which sucks So I'll take the humidity I don't like to get the rest I do

Do you think its better to learn hiragana or katakana first?
i love lappland
my uneducated and unecessary opinion with only a single anecdote (my own) for support probably katakana, because i have more trouble remembering them than hiragana and i suspect it's because i learned hiragana first and katakana felt like an afterthought when i did

ill probably throw together a sqlite db and some JS this evening no promises what else not sure about the image portion yet, maybe just manual to start
Might be good to do it manually at first, yeah Though I'd definitely say it'd be a good idea to make it grab a random, highly rated safe image of the girl in question off of danbooru in the long run
I guess the bright side is I've gotten better at actually pushing it down rather than just stopping and putting it away That's taken me a very long time, a few years back I'd just stop eating instead
>>>/@swamp_land/1495851156836339718 The original poem is kinda stupid too, don't get me wrong, but damn they really managed to make it exceptionally much worse
You can usually tell if the slope in question exists at all by whether they first came for the communists or if they had to change it to something else because their whole problem is communists exist
I can't actually remember many instances of the quote being used in its original form Similarly to 1984, it seems to mostly be dragged out for asinine reasons
Anno
>>1029592 Do both Learn how to tie a katakana to the hiragana it shares phonetics pronunciation with and try as early as you can to disentangle them from the Roman alphabet way of writing them You'll get more use out of hiragana in most circumstances and it's what most stuff that's for early learners and kids defaults to

>few people could actually be able to comprehend the genius that was Nobunga's original vision for the water temple; similar to the entering of the great deku tree, the entrance was conceptualized as a big meaty and ancient foreskin left behind by the previous ruler of the Zora. It pushed the N64 to its limits with revolutionary wind physics only capable of simulated by the GPU's of today. Miyamoto vetoed it at the last second when he discovered it, like the coward he is
Anno
you've inspired me to put my phone down for the night, thank you
also, wind PHYSICS? is there even a single 64 game that had wind physics? I mean sure, you could be pushed around by wind in some games, but it's not like, I dunno, a cape would flap in the wind or something like that, right? Forget the difficulty in simulating it, you'd need way more polygons than the whole character had for it to not look stupid in the first place

Oh nice, tagging the artist is a good idea too That's gonna be harder to automate like I suggested though I guess it could filter out any images without a twitter source link, technically, but it's probably at least a bit harder to do
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i havent written any image filtering anything technically i could find the author from the booru
I know that, I just don't really know how much harder it would be to go through those extra steps
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1029841 Filtering out the entirety of pixiv sourced images is a terrible idea and the tweet can still say "art by artist name" without @ing the artist.
I still think it's better to stick to images by artists who at least have a twitter account But yeah the artist page on danbooru does track those A lot of artists get a lot of their attention through those social media accounts, and I dunno how many go ahead and look up the artist elsewhere
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1029847 If you stick to artists with twitter accounts only then you'll be missing art for tons of characters from pre 2010 anime.
That is a problem, yeah Well, it should be alright to just prioritize putting their twitter @ in there if they've got one, most artists do anyway It's really up to how samu does it
Neither of them deserved anything in that range, either way Sayaka MAYBE deserved some amount of Suffering, but certainly not 45 level based on what 50 is
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Kiritsugu really shouldn't be at 80 Him deserving more than Lelouche is ridiculous.
Even Lain shouldn't be up at 50 Based on who's to her left Like I know shit wasn't easy for Lain, but putting the two of them next to each other is like, actually a little bit revolting
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1029873 Well I'm not sure how its supposed to work S Is it like Percentile?
Anno
>>1029873 Lain went through some pretty crazy psychic torture and mindfucking Suffering isn't just physical abuse after all
True Maybe it's just been too long since I watched Lain
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Also for reference I've only been talking about my problems with the how much they deserved rating Not the suffering rating Also Satania definitely deserves more than Ika Musume. Satania goes out of her way to be obnoxious, Ika Musume is just ignorant of the ways of the world.
S C
I never watched the show, but I thought she was just a "I'm going to cause problems on purpose" girl, like Sakura below her, so I figured it was accurate enough
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Wait Is that Kamille at 50 From what little I know about him, he deserves more.
Honestly a little impressed to see Rosette on the chart at all Just because it's a series I've got the impression of not many people having read or watched
It's a really, really good manga Still one of my favorites, without much contest
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1029884 It was very popular in its time I know I watched the anime but I barely remember any of it.
I'm kind of a sucker for those kinds of sappy tragic endings, so that's probably part of why it's stuck with me Shows that can make me cry get a big bump in ratings from me very easily
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
Also Ed Elric probably deserves it a little bit more than what he's listed at on the chart He knew that human transmutation was forbidden And I think he knew about what happens to people who try it.
