Yeah, I believe that began as a sort of Streisand effect-esque phrase, where if you want the internet to forget, it won't, but of course other things that most people are not paying any mind to will disappear

I mean, not entirely. I went to see Longlegs recently, that was amazing and not a reboot rehash. When Makoto Shinkai releases an anime film my theater will have it there. I never thought I'd be able to see anime films on the big screen.

Studio Ghibli did a Ghibli Fest last year showing old movies again in theaters, I watched Spirited Away and it was great. Tickets are usually like 14 bucks, and yeah, buying snacks at a theater is for dummies, just sneak something in or have the self control to not snack at the movies.

You have some valid points, but are being very hyperbolic. Not all movies are reboots and it doesn't cost all that much compared to other date ideas and such as long as you have some self control.

So if it's worse for the consumer for valve to allow class action lawsuits, then should the consumer see all the other companies who force arbitration as the better outcome?

We do at my warehouse. They are usually worse than a standard papercut so the distinction does say something

I mean the cats can get enough of their predatory instincts out by play fighting or playing with toys. You can alternatively just use a laser pointer and treats with them instead without affecting the ecosystem or killing birds just tryna live like everybody else

I use the false cord technique to do metal vocals (vocal fry was harder to learn and didn't click with me), I basically just watched different YouTube tutorials on how to do it until I watched one by Kardavox Academy on YouTube and he likened the feeling of engaging the false cords to sighing exasperatedly, and also going "ruff" very lowly like a dog.

This explanation alone is terrible, but understanding what he meant and mimicing those sounds allowed me to understand what it feels like when I engage the false cords and now I have enough control to engage or disengage it on a word by word basis or slide into it from a clean voice. It's definitely as people say, with the right technique it won't hurt, it can be tough on your voice even when done correctly, but you should never have to stop and cough, that's when you're really doing it wrong.

Well, I never thought I'd be jealous of someone's charging cable, but here I am

SpongeBob trumps all of these, but that's like a free bingo spot for 90s kids

Happens to me a lot. I just refresh the page, try to vote again, and then it works

If it's free live service it's probably locked down and won't be moddable.

Well, yeah, you're technically right. Humanity will never have the default restraint and compassion to stop turning words into slurs, though. So we have to police it. Same reason we have... The police at all. People can't police themselves. We need systems and rules to do that for us.

 

I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.
