MUH TUBET AND WEEEGWURTS!

Idk what's nice about having to manually configure sound settings like I'm on MS DOS, but okay.

Putin must not make the same mistake as Stalin - stopping at Berlin.

I want to love Kodi but God damn is it user unfriendly a lot of the time.

Wishing for the day this becomes not relevant.

Tel Aviv withdrew its signature from the Rome Statute

Brb, withdrawing my signature from all my mortgage documents.

"Anime" as the Japanese understand and use it is any sort of animated media. Pokemon is anime, SpongeBob is Anime, Pixar is digital anime. As most English speakers use the term, it's just any animation made in Japan (or sometimes in the Japanese style).

I never heard of Detective Conan but it's apparently a minuscule little 4 year old girl dressed in a suit and shorts? This is not helping any cases here.

Conan is a boy and what exactly is the sexualization here? He's wearing shorts? I hate to break it to you but if you see a drawing of a young boy wearing shorts and think sexual thoughts about it then that says something about you, not the drawing or boys or shorts.

I mean look, I'm not saying that there isn't a problem with sexualizing minors in anime, but it's not really fair to tar an art from because some people use it to depict questionable things. America seems to put out a shit load of live action incest porn but it doesn't make sense to lump all American live action media in with the sister fucking porn, right?

The highest grossing and most watched anime in any given year are probably that year's release of Pokemon, Detective Conan or Ghibli movie so I think your perception is warped by the filter of Westoid anime fans who hyperfixate on the kind of anime that can only air after midnight on Japanese broadcast TV.

Isn't it crazy how "this was our land for thousands of years until the Westoids broke their promises and ratfucked us out of it" reverberates so well in so much of the global south?

Must be a coincidence...

Pfffft if none of them exist then how did the Rat play a flute while standing on the head of the Ox to impress the Jade Emperor and become the first zodiac sign?

Checkmate, atheist.

I sometimes wonder how much Pixel hype is just inertia from when other manufacturers had terrible skins and Pixel was the only way for most to get a stock android experience.

Nowadays third party software has come a long way and from what I can see the pixel's main selling point is it's cameras.

I wish the CIA a very happy Find Out:

What happened to gravelly voiced men in trench coats exchanging information in a poorly lit parking lot?

Fucking zoomers man.

but I would be surprised if the EU stoops to that level, it's frankly petty to target private citizens doing media stuff regardless of what it is or how much you disagree with it.

The problem with "niche" phones like small phones, phones with headphone jacks, phones with keyboards, etc is that most of the people who claim they want one end up not buying one because of such and such feature being missing or so and so phone being better.

Asus and Sony have been making smaller phones for years but they've never achieved any sort of success. Iirc Sony makes a small phone with a headphone jack, which should be flying off shelves if these types of threads are to be believed.

The excuse is always "well Asus and Sony" have relatively little retail presence. Sure, that'd true, but any startup niche phone seller would be doing very well to have an Asus or Sony level distribution and retail network in the first couple of generations. And that's setting aside Apple being omnipresent in retail and yet still failing to sell enough small phones.

He'd kill me for being an "intellectual" for a start.

Don't worry mate. There is 0% chance of anyone anywhere mistaking you for an intellectual.

The West doesn't want to admit that it would be in even worse shambles if China did collapse.
