Not just anime. As a DC comics fan over the last few years, a lot of how WB does business looks pretty fucking stupid to me too. I'm willing to bet that if I visit the DC Universe website right now, it's still going to say something like "not available in your country but keep checking back because we're working on it!" just like it did 5+ years ago.
And they've been handling (HBO) Max with same sort of 'urgency'. So we'll get the movies on the big screen but as far as the tie in series go, maybe they'll make it to Netflix some time after you've already been spoilered everywhere you look online, in the DC fan spaces you visit.
One of the funniest things was when James Gunn shared a clip of some school kids in Philippines (I think) doing the choreographed intro sequence dance for Peacemaker along with the theme song. Before Peacemaker was even legally available there.
Yeah, watching this unfold makes me wonder just how useless things like a constitution and laws and due process really are in every other country. Because apparently none of those things actually matter and some rich asshole that wasn't elected can seize power tomorrow if they want. While no one does anything about it. Makes it all seem like a big joke.
Sadly, he's probably right. Going by what I've seen from Canada and Mexico, there'll be outrage, beating of chests and elaborate plans to counter the tariffs, followed by a headline less than 24 hours later saying that the countries in question have folded and agreed to Trump's demands.
When I was younger, I believed that it was an ideal worth striving for. Now I don't have that much faith in people anymore and I think that the best you can ask for is to try to live life your way and stay true to your beliefs and morals as best you can, according to whatever circumstances that you've been given.
Yeah, Zulu is a different beast to European languages. I suppose as different to English as certain Asian languages would be. It also borrows from English and Afrikaans though, for certain Western words and concepts that weren't in the vocabulary before. And there's still nouns and verbs and tenses and shit, so it follows the same basic rules / concepts as any language.
As for Afrikaans, funnily enough I'm actually living in a part of the country now where some fluency would've been useful. Luckily you seem to be able to get by with just English just about anywhere though.
Yeah but she was a "female". Ew, cooties. And Joe Rogan the alpha instructed all of his alpha followers to vote Trump, so they did the alpha thing and obeyed him without making their own informed decisions. And did I mention she's a feemale? I ain't gonna vote for no woke DEI feminist illuminati agenda.
can't function in society where random individuals can freely reject their statements, so they need the internet to hide away from life.
Show me where in real life are random individuals able to interrupt your conversations with friends and like-minded people without being told to fuck off or punched in the face? People like you keep peddling this idea that we're all supposed to 'meet in the middle' at all times with bigots that think we don't deserve human rights, or else we're the bad ones. Fuck off, what does the 'middle' of respecting rights or not respecting rights even look like. And real life doesn't fucking work like that anyway.
I would not hang out with inbred supremacist 'alpha' fucking idiots even if you paid me. And I would not welcome them into my home or my social circles. You're free to speak but that doesn't mean that I have to fucking listen.
South Africa and pretty much just English. Apparently I was fairly fluent in Zulu when I was little kid, before starting school and losing it. And we learnt Afrikaans in school but Afrikaans kids went to Afrikaans schools and I grew up and lived in English speaking areas so it was never used. If I tried to speak Afrikaans now, I would embarrass myself but I can mostly read it and understand someone if they're talking slow enough and I'm concentrating hard enough.
Honestly something that pisses me off is that despite going through school in the 'new' South Africa, the new government never bothered making sure we learnt to communicate with each other. So instead of learning Zulu and being able to freely communicate with the majority of the population, we learnt Afrikaans because they never fucking bothered to change it.
I can also understand very small bits and pieces of written and spoken German from high school but that's barely worth mentioning. Also, I can kinda sometimes understand a little bit of written Dutch because it's remotely similar to Afrikaans.
Yeah as someone from a BRICS nation, I would not trust or put my faith in these people any more than I would American institutions. And I feel pretty confident in saying that even if a BRICS backed currency became dominant, absolutely fuck all would change in the quality or cost of life for the majority of people and the only ones that would be smiling would be the fat cat piece of shit politicians and elites that are already smiling.
Ah, sorry to hear that. Maybe it's for the best though? From what I've seen, drag is often dealing with people attacking drag's identity as it is. Maybe running a community like would open drag up to too much unnecessary stress?
My first ever suspension from Reddit was for an anti religion comment. On Reddit. Then after my 3 days were up, the first thread I saw was on the subject of religion, full of people saying worse thing than I had, and in one of the major subs, not even atheism or anything.
I could definitely buy that they're using AI but personally I always had the impression that they outsource the job and don't make sure everyone is even on the same page or can read English properly.
Because even the stuff that gets [removed by Reddit] seems to be nonsense a lot of the time. A while ago I saw someone make a post saying something like "Hi guys, haven't been active much lately. But I'm back and gonna be posting more." Came back later and it was [removed by Reddit]. So not even that is trustworthy or gives the impression that they actually know wtf they're doing.
RoboCop, the Alien movies, Hellraiser. Honestly a lot of the old Jean Claude van Damme movies are fairly hardcore for kids, looking back. Probably a lot of movies because I was allowed to stay up until whenever on weekends from pretty young.
Personally, I still haven't started judging users by the instance that they made their profile on. Unless there's right wing instances but in that case I'm guessing they're de-federated from my current experience. I prefer to go by what I'm reading from an individual user or the vibe in a particular community. When you browse instances on the join page, there's no cliff notes on the turf wars between them. So a lot of users are signing up based on the written description.
These kinds of men that are constantly focused on what it means to be a 'man' are the biggest fucking insecure snowflakes of them all. These are the kind of people who act like their entire race and gender is being erased when 1 in 10 Marvel movies don't have a white male lead. When all attention isn't on them, they spit their pacifiers out and wail.
Take this election for example. It wasn't about them. Even if they don't care about queer people (we know they don't), it was also about doing the right thing for their mothers and their sisters and their daughters. But because the poor, hard done by white man wasn't given as much importance as people who are literally getting their rights taken away, they decided join the oppressors and spit in their mothers' faces.
Not because they're men but because they're pieces of shit.
Ah yeah, I guess I should've mentioned that the dialogue is probably edited. They were generally pretty mature cartoons and certain League members were for sure fucking, but it wouldn't have ever been as blatant as this. This dialogue almost belongs in Harley Quinn.
In a way you're actually paying much much more seeing as you used to be able to share your Netflix with others. So that cheap amount of money got you x amount of accounts while the latest most expensive amount gets you 1. It's almost shrinkflation.
This is most likely from the DCAU, either Justice League or Justice League Unlimited. Bruce and Diana had a very short lived little courting thing going on or whatever you would call it. And Diana was a bit more forward with it while Bruce was his usual gruff self. They didn't actually get together though.
Edit: so animation
Edit 2: "courting". I took my monocle off and realised the word I was looking for was "flirting".
Yeah, the Israeli or Russian troll farms that were driving this whole thing and providing the slogans and snappy comebacks have achieved their goal and left now. So now the confused kids that are left don't have any snappy comebacks anymore, except to repeatedly take digs at LGBTQ+ people and reveal the real reason they were drawn into this.
Not just anime. As a DC comics fan over the last few years, a lot of how WB does business looks pretty fucking stupid to me too. I'm willing to bet that if I visit the DC Universe website right now, it's still going to say something like "not available in your country but keep checking back because we're working on it!" just like it did 5+ years ago.
And they've been handling (HBO) Max with same sort of 'urgency'. So we'll get the movies on the big screen but as far as the tie in series go, maybe they'll make it to Netflix some time after you've already been spoilered everywhere you look online, in the DC fan spaces you visit.
