Me with anime

Granted I watch mostly >decade old stuff dubs, so it’s mostly the same 30 VAs in every show

Big picture mode runs like shit on my computer, it takes like 3 minutes for it to fully open before I can even close it

It wasn’t in response to the allegations, it was in response to the documentary

? I’m talking about the production staff and Disney, both of whom independently decided to toss the episode in the memory hole

They pulled it years ago, this meme is just referencing it

Disney, for one

Correct. We don’t need to make stuff up to hate Disney, there’s plenty enough to hate already

Brooks told The Wall Street Journal: “This was a treasured episode. There are a lot of great memories we have wrapped up in that one, and this certainly doesn’t allow them to remain. I’m against book-burning of any kind. But this is our book, and we’re allowed to take out a chapter.”

Death of the author, Brooks. You don’t get to tear a page out of an already published book.

That said, Disney’s decision not to show that episode is a separate one. Both parties suck tbh

My newest and favorite argument in favor of piracy. Disney doesn’t get to throw my hard drive in the memory hole

All that disinfo about Micheal Jackson being a pedophile

In March 2019, following the release of the documentary film Leaving Neverland, which details allegations against Jackson of child sexual assault, “Stark Raving Dad” was pulled from circulation. Jackson was previously tried and acquitted of child sexual abuse charges in 2005 and denied any wrongdoing.

He has to read it, but he doesn’t have to interpret it. It’s like the mental equivalent of those floating chairs from Wall-E

I have a decade old lenovo yoga that still lasts like 40 minutes unplugged. Idunno how much a UPS that can supply a desktop for that long would cost, nor if that’s an embarrassingly short time, but it works well enough for me

Hot take: gamepass is preferable to a digital storefront. Any game you “buy” digitally is only somewhat less temporary than gamepass. At least gamepass doesn’t fool you into thinking you own the games you’re playing

Buy physical. If you’re buying digital, only buy from GOG. Pirate everything you can, and seed that shit forever

Downvoted for no reason. Like, Clair Obscur was free on Gamepass. I ain’t hearing shit about how it isn’t worth the price tag

As they should, literacy tests are subjective and designed to allow the proctor to pass or fail based of arbitrary personal biases

This reads like a description of the D&D PHB.

…is that why so many people think they get an extra attack when they do something other than an Attack action? Yes, that includes the Ready action. You get one hit if you ready an attack.

My point is that we were never alive at all. We have no consciousness because of determinism, we follow a path that cannot be changed.

This doesn’t follow. Consciousness does not necessitate free will. Just because it’s an emergent property of a complex set of deterministic chemical reactions in our brains doesn’t mean it somehow isn’t real.

What we call “unconsciousness” is really just a state of reduced consciousness. Your mind is maintained throughout, and you’re still aware of the outside world, just to a lesser extent.

No it doesn’t. What we call “unconsciousness” is really just reduced consciousness. Your mind is maintained and you remain aware of external stimuli, just to a much weaker degree.

Hi, I’m a naturalistic determinist atheist. I won’t be taking a teleporter. The problem is that my body (which my continuous conscious experience resides in) will get erased if I do.

Replace “dismantled by the teleporter” with “shot in the head,” and it might make it a bit more obvious why it matters that the original you dies. I wouldn’t want to be shot in the head, even if I knew there was a perfect facsimile of me being constructed the moment the bullet entered my brain. The fact that this me would die makes intuitive sense to me.

There will be a you, but it’s not the same you. If you read my exchange with the other guy, then what are your thoughts on the “shot in the head” topic? Would you be okay with this you being killed in a very real and visceral way, as long as a you would be reconstructed elsewhere?
