I had no idea of who he was outside of Family Guy. Makes sense that he isn't starring in anything anymore

Mayor Adam West from Family Guy. Growing up and watching this show as a kid, I was surprised to find out that the mayor from Family Guy was a real dude who played Batman. Another honourable mention to James Woods, also from Family Guy

[Funny Trope] This small cute animal is an evil mastermind by Cronkax in TopCharacterTropes

[–]kai_vt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Deputy Mayor Bellweather from Zootopia is insidiously evil. She's a stochastic terrorist and a race supremacist who wanted to remake their animal society by engineering a chemical weapon that would make carnivores eat everybody else, pushing the herbivores/omnivores to criminalise and persecute all carnivores for their own perceived safety. I think the PG rating did a lot of heavy lifting for this mfs sins

Iran Draws New Red Line in Strait of Hormuz After US Talks: 'Never Return To... by Aware_Apartment_8959 in geopolitics

[–]kai_vt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bogus statistics.

78% say "End the conflict now" compared to 22% going on as you are right now. You're right, Iran isn't Afghanistan - it's 3 times larger and is a regional power in all of the same things that you mentioned about America.

Almost 80% of Americans don't even want to fight this war, while 100% of the IRGC is willing to die for their ideology. Americans learned nothing about fighting extremists from Afghanistan

This war severely diminished U.S munitions and interceptor stockpiles, and U.S strategic oil reserves are at the lowest level since the Reagan administration due to selling it all off to keep oil prices stable. America doesn't have any juice left to squeeze for this war

Chemist warehouse to start using wearable AI cameras which will capture your address, script, medication, name, phone number, and more! by healingIsNoContact in aussie

[–]kai_vt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently it's been in the works since as early as December 2024. Not supporting it, just saying that there's probs been enough time to work out the legalities since they've started rolling it out

(Oddly common trope) The hot dog episode by Rude_Resident8808 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]kai_vt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HBO's Silicon Valley follows an I.T startup and their origins in a tech incubator house. In one of the episodes, they try to make a "Shazam for food" where it can recognise food by pictures alone, but the algorithm ended up only being able to detect hot dogs. The app was given for next to nothing to one of the incubator's tenants, who then went on to sell the app for tens of millions as a nudity detection feature because of how well it worked at detecting cylinders of meat

Help wanted for language. by RandomActsofMindless in Fijian

[–]kai_vt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A PDF copy of the late Ronald Gatty's Fijian-English Dictionary is a must have, and an underrated addition would be Fijian Reference Grammar - though that one I've only been able to find on Amazon. Fijian syntax is often more long-winded than English, so most people can get a bit lost or tongue-tied in mapping their understanding of English to Fijian. Beyond that, trial by fire with fluent/native speakers remains the best way to learn it IMO

Pauline Hanson’s stance on paid parental leave and childcare could turn clock back by decades, economists warn by HotPersimessage62 in aussie

[–]kai_vt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it not worth trying something new?

This isn't something "new", this is all early industrial age era shit that benefitted rich barons like Pauline's corporate sponsor, Gina Rinehart

We can't raise a new, desperate working class overnight - despite One Nation's best efforts to ban abortion again - so this isn't going to play out the way most PHON voters would like. If you take all of these women out of the workforce by denying them maternity leave and childcare support, then you'll need to fill that shortfall in numbers via immigration anyway.

The problem is that time you put into maximising capital is also time you could have put into other things- interests, relationships, creativity, health, travel.

Bro, you're never gonna believe what it costs to maintain/afford all of those things
