  • Macross 7 by Disney directly, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Simpsons by various other rights holders, and probably more that I'm not even aware of

    Right now it's just one plotline in Macross 7 that involves sexual assault, and some "offensive" episodes of Always Sunny and The Simpsons. From what I've read, the Macross one makes the show better, but I'd rather not set a precedent that lets them clip out every gay and trans character to please the current administration

  • My favorite video title of all time is still "alkaline water ...with lemon"

  • Thunderf00t is smart about physics, I liked his science videos, but I really stopped paying attention to him when he started doing gamergate stuff. Is he still whining about feminists, or has he gotten better?

  • A Catholic socialist, a Jewish anarchist, and a Muslim communist walk into a bar, and they make a podcast about engineering disasters: Well There's Your Problem. It's great for that intersection of people for whom the phrase "crimes against TERFs aren't crimes" resonates and like listening to an engineer complain about low quality as-builts 2 hours into a 3 hour episode about 9/11

    I was sold on the show when I found out that the episode about the Titanic was split into two parts, totaling around 5 and 1/2 hours. That's partially because they spend a lot of time bullshitting, and partially because they go really in-depth about how and why structures fail

  • Physicists calling it an "observer" is the worst thing since Ben Franklin decided to name positive and negative electrical charges. "Observer" implies that it's someone watching the thing, when really it's just the light interacting with something.

  • I used to think this way, but then I found out that Disney is actively censoring media that they've bought the rights to, so now my argument is that you should pirate stuff to keep the original art available

  • fintech that handles direct money services

    A perfect description

    Cashapp is also sort of an entirely online pseudo bank. There are places that let you deposit and withdraw cash, but they're like two steps above Bitcoin ATMs

    I do know people who have these fully online banks though. On its own, it's a lot less convenient then just having an account with a local credit union where you can withdraw cash for free, and I really don't like that services like Venmo and Cashapp and Zelle are overtaking just handing physical dollar bills to each other

  • I mean I use Cashapp, but I could also not use it and my life wouldn't be much harder

  • Can't your purchases be tied to you via credit/debit card number? I mean obviously you can use cash, but I don't see a lot of people using cash

  • A hot and uneducated take: nothing of value will be lost. Nobody will ever go searching through a defunct twitch account's 142 hours of Minecraft speedrun attempts. If it's valuable, back it up locally

  • Killing this guy is a very good way to piss off a lot of poor people who like him. The rich fucks need this to end in a relatively short prison sentence

  • Solitary confinement is absolutely unconstitutional, but good luck convincing someone that it's cruel and unusual if they've never been subject to it

  • I file them the moment I get my W-2. Why wait? You aren't paying less if you owe, and you won't be refunded more

  • Was this before, or after he called a former commander of the ISS "fully retarded?"

  • I'm just tired of the genre. I have played Morrowind, and Oblivion, and Skyrim, and Fallout 3, and New Vegas, and Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, and Outer Worlds, and Cyberpunk, and Starfield. I'm good.

    Give me more Hi-Fi Rush. Give me more Atlas: Reign of Sand. Give me more Eternal Strands.

  • I am down to have monthly updates for the next few years, weekly updates through 2031, and daily updates throughout 2032

    I just feel like if we do daily updates for the next 7 years when it's in all likelihood going to miss us, we'll be too complacent when an asteroid does have an impact trajectory

  • It technically would alter the moons orbit, but not by a lot. This asteroid would impact with roughly the energy of a nuclear bomb, which sounds like a lot, but on the scale of our moon it's negligible.

    A rough estimation given my limited understanding of physics is that to change the moon's orbit by 1 m/s, you would need to impart something like 10²² joules of energy into it. Wikipedia says that if this asteroid hits the moon, the impact energy will be around 10¹⁶ joules. I don't know how much you know about exponents, but 10¹⁶ is approximately 0% of the way to 10²², and that's just change of 1 m/s

    Of course, someone who actually understands physics is free to correct me if I'm wrong

  • Can we please not post daily updates? This is still 7 years away
