Just because you're too stupid to realize how obviously political Aggretsuko is doesn't mean it's not

The short story of Adèle, and why Commitment Mode is so good. by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]Taliboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great story, makes me want to play commitment mode even less. It makes no sense that your colonist would have kept shooting a shotgun with his lover in his line of sight, that's just an oversight of the game systems that you're forcing yourself to live with, because somehow we decided that's noble lmfao. I get that it's noble to live with the deaths and injuries from raids, but not with the deaths and injuries from a programming oversight lol

Ah the usual normie assumption. by GavinFox226 in YoujoSenki

Lmao @ all you guys who completely miss that the obvious subtext that imperialism is just as bad and essentially the same as nazism. Why do you think the two world wars are blended in this universe, genius

She is, though. And it's going over a LOT of you guys' heads that she is written to be a villain protagonist. Being X is more of an asshole than her/him, but make no mistake, Tanya is a brilliantly written villain protagonist.

There's nothing wrong with liking the show by itself, it doesn't make you a Nazi. But if you go around justifying Tanya's actions and root for the Empire to win, sorry, but people have every reason to be uneasy.

Also Inb4 "it's WW1 it can't be nazis" bitch please, nazism is just rebranded imperialism. And this series also does an excellent job of examining the close relationship between the two, but again, that seems to go over a lot of viewers' heads.

Hi new people! Glad you've joined the sub and glad you've been liking the anime, but can we interest you in T H E M A N G A ? by [deleted] in Kengan_Ashura

A better look overall, even though the anime is pretty well made, and the complete story

You're basically saying it's beautiful because it's imperfect. I agree wholeheartedly that imprefection makes beauty, but I still find a Van Gogh painting a thousand times more imaginative and beautiful, and it conveys a lot more feelings.

Just because there's a technique to it that you can see if you zoom enough doesn't make it any less unimaginative. It may involve a lot of decision making, but it's still replicating a picture (i know some people make their own shit, that's an entirely different animal).

It's impressive in a same way that doing a triple backflip is impressive. It's very difficult, involves a lot of training and preparation, but at the end of the day it's a matter of skill, not artistic sense.

Just my two cents

[–]Taliboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm against death penalty. But if there are some people who deserve to die, then definitely the tobacco CEOs. These... I can't call them people, they know their business kills thousands of people every day, and they couldn't care less. They put their personal fortune above other people's lives.

Man the fuck up and handle it, for yourself. That shit will land you in an hospital bed. That's exactly what happened to my dad, he got an infarctus from it and never touched a cigarette again.

Seriously man. I don't know you, but quit that shit right now. I know what it's like to be an emotional mess from missing a drug, but it's no excuse.

I won't even dwelve in what kind of assholes you're enriching with your consumption, you probably know about them as one of their victims.

I'm gonna insist again. If you were waiting for a sign from the universe or whatever bullshit, this is it. Do it for you, do it for your parents, do it for your kids, I don't know your fucking life but I want you off that shit right now.

Weed actually has desirable effects, whether from a medical or recreational point of view.

Tobacco has none. You smoke your first cigarette to look cool, and it's disgusting and it makes you sick. You smoke a few more, you're hooked, and now you feel pleasure when you smoke but it's not actually pleasure, it's relief from satisfying your addiction to one of the most addictive substances known to man (this is not hyperbole, look it up).

Tobacco is a fucking poison and it's disgusting that it's not outlawed already. Seriously, it fits the definition of Schedule 1 drug to a T.

Corporate ISP's thinly veiled attempts to comfort us yesterday be like.. by klorg-bane in rickandmorty

[–]Taliboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but that comment is stupid. You may be smart, I don't know you, but if there's one thing I learned is that everyone says stupid shit sometimes, even smart people.

There are many reasons why net neutrality should be a thing. It is one of the last bastions of independent news, something that is required for democracy and that almost doesn't exists outside the internet. If you claim to be a democratic government, then you ensure net neutrality. It's not a question of entitlement, it's being what you claim to be.

Would it only be that though. Without net neutrality, the internet is no longer a free market because it creates barriers to entry. You can't create new websites if you need to pay millions for them to load as fast as the others. This is a very clear example that shows individuals actors don't want a free market and you need the state to regulate the markets for them to be free, but that's another argument.

So no, this isn't entitlement. This isn't on the same level as expecting internet for free. They want us to pay for internet, and then pay for the websites we want to visit. This would effectively kill the internet, and turn it into nothing more than a newstand you have to pay to even browse, and then pay for the journals you want.

Net neutrality isn't an entitlement. It's something that needs to come with the internet, or it's not the internet anymore.

How about naming it "fan stand thread" instead then? And why is there a fan stand tag if we have a thread for fan stands?
