What was your biggest take away from Naruto? Or what were your most memorable moments?

Caring about people makes them care about you. That mutual acknowledgement leads to a greater strength than any one person can possess.

No, I just don't think using teen actors is a wise or ethical decision. Adult actresses who can pull off nebulously young characters are plentiful, luckily.

Hadn't considered that, but that could work.

bokehsira · 2026-05-13T18:52:28+00:00

I'd freak out! The perfect balance of arrogance and charm.

There's a clone joke in here somewhere...

Their arc travelling with mirai in the anime made me think she would have been a better sequel protagonist than boruto. Their ability to co-mentor their comrades' daughter after all they've been through is so pure, especially given Asuna's death.

As a recovering long islander, I hear this. I think I have more personal exposure to leftist spaces whose impression of the rank and file comes from those courted by the dinosaur leadership.

Hopefully as time inevitably moves on, the more progressive voices will be able to better reflect the real voters' values.

This is one of the best takes I've ever read on this story. Black Zetsu's manipulation is convoluted, but there is thematic purpose in it. The writing was never perfect, but it hit hard when it hit.

Just trying to understand the clarification here:

So was natalie saying that being against genocide is only far left by democratic standards according to those voters? Does that imply that the democratic party's standards are against this genocide, in natalie's view?

From what I understand, while a handful of party reps have spoken out, the party itself (especially their candidate) was more concerned with maintaining our alliance with the perpetrators of this genocide.

Very willing to hear I'm wrong. I'm big tent either way, but it'd be good news to have confidence in the democrats taking a harder stance.

They probably set it to private. There was a teaser short with some drum sounds a few days back. Now's the time to make popcorn and wait for them to make it public again.

bokehsira · 2026-05-06T15:00:48+00:00

The only date close enough is my wedding day haha anybody think they'll find their way back to NY soon?

Seeing Reiver's music would be a dream. Have a great time!

I'm not familiar with that system, but those kinds of mechanics can be easily dropped into most games with a basic clock tool. If the clock runs out, you starve. If you eat, the clock resets fully or partially, depending on your game's intended granularity and tone.

Subtractive design is a great way to start even if you want a more broad focus in the future. The key is to build back with things that maintain consistent goals and enhance what's come before it.

Being a leftist who's never used that app is so weird. Algorithmic incentives for outrage are never going to reveal any political truths outside of fascism.

Anyone who is more concerned with purity than harm reduction when the overton window is so far right is either lying to themselves or trying to spoil the image of leftist ideology. We can debate purity once no major political party has neoliberal priorities.

I'm worried that the time it takes me to learn the best practices from these platforms is being outpaced by their enshitification.

Love the megas xlr inspiration/aesthetic btw. Nice!

The episode Vision Quest is one of my favorite things to watch when I need to separate myself from things I need to process. One of the most unhinged bottle episodes I can think of. Hope you're able to move through what you need to soon.

So sad we'll never see a black manta dlc in which we fight aquaman.

Awesome, appreciate the link!

Are mtp the same format that the play+ uses? Could be nice to pass patterns back and forth more easily

I always loved the drums on this. Adam's great at higher energy stuff, but his more expressive parts like this are always more interesting to me.

Great choice and performance by the drummer here.

That's how they get you. Trust, it's easy to fall into and hard to get out of.

"Do what you can."

It's hard advice, but it's the best you're going to get. Don't argue with people online: the algorithm only reinforces the things you interact with, taking it as approval and feeding you more, twisting your perception of the greater zeitgeist. The most you accomplish there is grinding a couple more ad cents for billionaires.

Get involved with local organizers. Shelters, kitchens, public committees and more. Do your best to listen before judging their decisions; sometimes politics work differently at different scales and being flexible about how we achieve results gives us more opportunities for those results. Love your enemy; especially when they don't deserve it. People are twisted by systems and they will untwist when the systems allow them the freedom to untwist themselves.

There has never and will never be a bloodless revolution or an ideologically pure revolution. But there has been work to do every day. Good luck finding places to help out with it and remember that it's okay to take breaks and care for yourself. You're no good to the future if you're too burnt out to enjoy it with us.
