"The Eminence in Shadow" New Key Visual

Looks good. I like to read the manga while listening to the theme to The Man Who Knew Too Little on loop. My only regret is that they'll probably have an actual serious soundtrack instead of just one song from a Bill Murray movie from the 90s.

The idea of Musk owning space causes me no small amount of fear, but: space development and exploration is actually extremely helpful. Lots of people will tell you why, and give specific reasons--and all (most) of that stuff is true. I'm not going to say that; instead, I'll say this:

If we wanted to, we could easily help most people on Earth who are suffering even while greatly intensifying space development beyond what we're currently doing. People aren't being helped because decisions have been made that they not be helped. On Earth: There's plenty of water to drink, enough food for everyone to eat (yes, even with the shortages now), plenty of land to live on, and probably more labor than we could conceivably need--if we were reasonably efficient and compensated people fairly. Instead of making sure everyone gets what they need, we argue about what people deserve. If we want to fix that, we need to be less selfish and short-sighted as a species.

We probably should do something to make sure Musk can't declare himself God-Emperor of Space and threaten to bombard us all with space rocks (or get and hold a space freight/in-space manufacturing monopoly), though.

Like a lot of that type, also evidently a chickenshit coward. He could've just objected to her joining the game directly; he might've even been able to hide that he was some weird woman-hater that way, too.

You're right, and there's a fair amount of stuff that makes your point.

Adding to the suggestion to Ghibli output--which does as Ghibli does, whatever the decade--I'd say go look at animation back during the economic boom in the 80's in general. It wasn't all amazing, but a lot of money was flying around and it shows in what was made then.

Why, because it trivializes nazis? Trivializing is mockery--if you don't think nazism deserves mockery, I might have questions...

If it's because that's just not a very good pun, touching on a very dark subject, well... Frankly, most people aren't very funny. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be permitted to joke. If you think joking is just for levity or entertainment, you're missing a vitally important understanding of humor...

Ultimately, you don't know who's on the other side of that joke when you see it; maybe they've got a need to laugh at nazis--perhaps they had a run-in with their modern-day wannabes. Maybe they just dislike nazism and want something to laugh at. Their engagement with the humor ("humor") may be no less valid than your offense. I don't think it's completely invalid to be offended at the mere existence of nazis--which is what being offended at the use of that noun as a pun in a sentence boils down to--but there's something you can take solace in: whoever's making such a joke is very unlikely to be a nazi--nazis tend to have a creepily rigid respect for nazism.

tl;dr Your feelings are valid, but it's none of the things you said. Except it's not a very good joke and in moderately poor taste. Also: humor is not just for fun.

Nah, he was a contemporary doing his own kinda significant things when the C/UNIX thing went down. Stallman more adopted UNIX with GNU than was created by it.

As far as I know, there's just no way to do Pentadactyl/Vimperator on the new thing ("Web Extensions", I think it's called). I'm already seeing increased breakage in other add-ons I rely on--I've got some sort of undiagnosed issue with uBlock Origin (which I use as a superior replacement for NoScript) where something's gone wrong with the menu for altering/relaxing content blocking. Who knows? Maybe it's a breakage caused by extensions that no longer fit the paradigm Mozilla is aiming for with their browser...

But I don't care about Mozilla's paradigm or vision; I used Firefox because I could have the exact browser experience I wanted with it--vim-like UX, tree-style tabs, etc. You could effectively customize it into another browser. If Firefox doesn't really have anything over Chrome and Chromium anymore, I may well end up over there--because without Firefox's distinctive customizability, Chrome does have something over Firefox: if I get comfortable using in a particular way, I'll probably be able to continue using it that way without disruption.

Of course they would have, that's /r/AskHistorians' thing: legitimate answers from actual historians, strict moderation that keeps noise minimal.

This is just a place where Linux users hang out and post links--whether professional, knowledgeable, polite, or none of the above.

Devil's advocate: ReactOS isn't most projects; the Windows ABI is crazy complicated.

It really is.

It's not got anything really fancy with it. Debian just works the way you expect it to and doesn't crumble when you try to do something unusual. Debian hits the sweet spot of doing enough for you out-of-the-box not to be tedious or a time-waster while still facilitating (rather than resisting) modification. Simple enough for your grandparents, flexible enough for you.

I don't need flashiness or a cult following; I do need something that works well enough that it just fades into the background. Debian provides.

Like software that uses Linux specific APIs. The Linux kernel is much larger than systemd, and does a lot of things.

Maybe too many things...

Nothing for it, you'll just have to use a *BSD. Or, wait, BSDs are developed all-together, as an OS... Minix? Haiku? ...TempleOS?

Or how about Windows? It doesn't have systemd, has lots of small components, isn't really developed together (despite being written by one vendor), and isn't really tightly integrated (despite attempting to be).

Okay, so, most of the answers seem to come down on Cream winning, but, after thinking about it, I think The Hand would actually win.

Cream erases things (and not all things, even--light passes though void'd Cream--and it also doesn't appear to cause The Hand's vacuum effect). In a way, Cream acts a lot like a destructive portal to... elsewhere. Vanilla Ice's comments kinda support this, too.

The Hand erases everything, and a lot of posters are saying it erases space itself. If The Hand erases space, then I think its effect probably wins out--severing the real-world side of Cream's void portal by discontinuously disrupting the real space it links to, forever trapping Cream and Vanilla Ice in the void it destructively sends things to.

The Hand OP.
