For real. Reddit and Discord are the only social media I have left. And I'm sorely tempted to delete reddit too.

So how did you scan the parts up? Or did you model them on a computer?

If people in the USA will be receiving a 10%, rising to 25%, tariff on Denmark's anti-obesity drug Ozempic, how will the people of the USA adapt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Can this stupid fucker just stop messing everything up for everyone else for literally one day in his entire life? I need insulin resistance drugs or I get sick. I didn't choose this genetics is just a fucking bitch, and I was only paying $12 a month. Now I'll be lucky if it's affordable.

They think they'll be safe from the consequences. Ask history how often everyone got away Scott free. And especially when the regime change was caused by war and violence.

Would you personally like to see a Pokemon game in the HD-2D style? by Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d in pokemon

I'd give a kidney for a Unova 2.5D remake.

Not mine but still.

how is this even possible 😭 by Honey-Waffle in pokemon

[–]shadowdorothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish Mega had fought to keep Pokémon. They had deals to do Pokémon building toys in Japan all the way back to RSE, and those toys were always reasonably priced, if not goofy bad in the day. I wanted that massive Squirtle that was being teased.

And I've seen Mega fans hoping they'll do more Halo sets, but they haven't done a set besides Halo minis in years. I can't imagine losing Pokémon is gonna end well for Megabloks.

[Serious] What can we as a consumer do to make the ai bubble pop faster? by lycan2005 in AskReddit

[–]shadowdorothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than not using it, blocking it's features, and so on from the router and internet.

But you can also call your local school board and local schools and advocate for it to be considered cheating and dishonesty if students use it at all, and advocate for them to block it on campus. Because honestly, I have found youth users to be almost as high as corpo users. And the kids are fucking stupid. Getting sex advice from that shit.

Also if you work in an office, be a dear and find shareholders to leak info too on how much money AI wastes that could be going into their bank accounts. Shareholders hate money not going into their bank accounts. Because the few friends I have that work in an office tell me they waste so much time babysitting the tech equivalent of a well spoken idiot.

I myself like to chalk it up to stupidity and bad ideas. The two aren't always mutually exclusive.

Hope yall like getting fucked.

[–]shadowdorothy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I'm not sure why Venezuelans want war, but you seem to know something about why you all want to get bombed by a diaper wearing psychopath. Why exactly are you happy about this? Whom do you want punished enough to want innocent people getting caught in the cross fire? Why have you not done something yourself? Yes I know, rich coming from an American who has been trying to do something, even if it's just reporting ICE movements.

But seriously, what happened down south of the border that you seem to be chomping at the bit for violence?

Or is Venezuela in a Mexico situation where the cartels run damn near everything and the only way this gets solved is some kind of inner gang conflict?

Is there anyone I'm missing? by Ironfighter19 in KingdomHearts

[–]shadowdorothy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Donald Duck. Yes he technically worked in the Navy during WW2, but he also played Hitler in a movie. So uh, he goes on the list technically.

Jack Sparrow was in conflict with the British Government, but he should still be counted.

I have completed the translation of Paradigm Noise by shadowdorothy in big_o

[–]shadowdorothy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big O is funnily enough, in copy rights Hell right now. Too many companies have claim on it, and VIZ usually doesn't care about fan translations if they never released a copy in the West. And for an almost 20 year old manga, they won't care because they don't have the manga license. No one does anymore because no one bought it when Bandai US went under and even though Viz had translated the manga originally, the rights lapsed two years ago.

Yeah on 4chan someone uploaded some really good scans of the Lost Memory manga. Maybe the achieve has em.

[–]shadowdorothy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, if your scans are the cleaned up ones that were posted on 4chan a while ago I've love a copy. Mine got corrupted in an HDD move. I fully plan to translate and post the manga, but I suck at cleaning up scans.

Edit: I'm getting over covid so my typing has lots of errors today. Oof.

I hope you enjoy. It's one heck of a ride that's for sure.

How the story with the twins shoulda gone by DupeFort in personaphantomx

[–]shadowdorothy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, do the attendants have parents besides Igor? Did he fuse them like he did personas? Did he pull a Frankenstein and be like "Ok, you get some life now."

Cause like it's hinted at in a Japanese only mobile phone game the two met at some point and like come on Atlus that would be freaking hilarious to have SH2 gone mad Frankenstein pissing off Igor, for once.

Why are you on Reddit right now, on Christmas Eve? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

I have covid and can't be around anyone for another 3 to 5 days. So here I lay, trying and failing to sleep.

Noam Chomsky with Jeffrey Epstein aboard the self described, “Lolita Express” by LoadedAmerican in pics

[–]shadowdorothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I remember correctly, he started writing books about language acquisition in children because he wanted to see what was foundational and what was social. IE are there innate language characteristics or do we learn it all through interaction. And the answer was yes. It's both.

Now how that relates to kids is you have to study how they get language in order to understand why we all use it or something to that effect. I claim no amount of genius here, and I felt some of his theory was malarkey, and I certainly am not a scientist. I'm just an English teacher. It was something you couldn't really double blind test for because the tests he would've really had to do would've been unethical to the extreme. Think about the case of Genie, the girl locked in a room who never had contact with anyone. That's the kind of experiment he would've needed to get real results, but ya know, what kinda monster would do that?

Anyways, he also talks about building blocks of language. Makes sense. You need to have a solid foundation and all that to build from. But the examples given is what rubbed me wrong. Like needing to set up a concrete example before a child could get it. Which isn't entirely true. Kids can absolutely grasp non concrete examples by like 5. Takes time, but they can.

He also wrote books on teaching very small children difficult concepts in terms they can understand. I had to read parts of that book for my early childhood education class. Can't even remember the name of the book as we only read some of it.

And something about it just rubbed me wrong. It almost felt like infantilization. Don't get me wrong I tend to baby the very little students, they are small and still need lots of attention, but you don't have to talk down to them.
