I switched over to this script on my desktop, and I use NewPipe on mobile. The script requires you to disable your ad blocker for YT, and then uses a different method to bypass ads that hopefully google will be less likely to patch.

Not all anime of course, but you’ve got to be delusional to believe that the depths that anime sometimes sinks with regards to loli and shota content is matched by other mass-market mediums.

Well at first I assumed there was probably validity to what Dessalines said, because I consider them credible and I know enough about anime to know that there is a lot of csam that hides behind bullshit justifications. Even in this thread there’s discussion of a show that blatantly tittilates the audience with underage characters that would absolutely qualify as csam in any other community except in the anime community, for some reason.

And then I went onto the anime lemmy everyone is surreptitiously talking about, and the literal first post I saw was a body pillow design featuring an underage character that is right on the line of being csam. It was the only example I saw in my brief look, and it didn’t quite qualify, which is why I came back and deleted my comment.

I don’t care about what the maintainers’ view of the matter is, I make (and sometimes delete) my comments based on my own view of it.

Really showing your ass here by suggesting that you want to move to an instance with pedo content.

Seems cool, but I would bet that it will never see a true consumer application. The amount of radioactive material you would need for the proposed 1 watt version is too much to mass produce and sell - this aint the Fallout universe.

They’re gonna try to prevent the certification of ballots from red states, and things are gonna get a little out of hand.

My take away from this thread is that a ton of “neoliberal orthodoxy” is just economists trying to explain policy decisions as being like forces of nature, out of the hands of government, and China proving that a government can totally do something different if it actually wants to.

I would bet that it applies to just about every standing conventional army right now. If you haven’t been in war recently against a peer opponent, then you really have no way of knowing how many issues your equipment has.

I wanna say “my” first PC was an intel 486, with a hard drive and a floppy drive, and whatever cheap monitor/mouse/keyboard came with it from the Post Exchange. I was in elementary school so it was all a bit over my head, but my mom had gotten it for work because they were moving all of their records to digital and she didn’t want to get left behind, and I used it to instantly improve my failing “penmanship” grade at school by doing all of my homework in a word processor. I think I had a Genesis at this time so I never played DOS games much beyond the Lemmings and Dragon’s Lair demos.

My first PC was an early Celeron, and I remember upgrading it with a Sound Blaster Extigy, and then later an early Radeon. That PC later got RAM and hard drive upgrades too, I really pushed that hardware for as long as I possibly could before upgrading again, running everything at the lowest settings and just “dealing with” under-thirty framerates for just about everything from Lego Island to the first Harry Potter games. I didn’t really care though because my jam pretty much that entire decade was Starcraft, with Jedi Knight 2 coming in close second.

Most Innovative Gameplay Award: Starfield

still funny

I quit League of Legends (checks notes) ten years ago and it was a great decision. Since then I’ve tried other competitive online games - Titanfall was my jam for a while, then Overwatch of course, tried to get back into Starcraft/SC2, really like Dragon Ball Fighter Z but I haven’t been able to play for a while - but I always quit as soon as I cross the threshold of getting pissed more than I’m having fun.

My favorite online experiences now are all cooperative with relatively small player bases. I dug the hell out of Final Fantasy XI playing it through last year (though I still have a lot of content left if I ever go back to it again), on DCS I play on a “casual milsim” server that’s mostly frequented by Australian dads where we play against a pretty hardcore computer opponent, and now that I think of it Dungeons and Dragons (and most other TTRPGs) totally has the same vibe of “coop gameplay with a small playerbase”.

For both wine and liquor I find that presentation will impress people way more than price. Get a cool looking decanter and you’re basically set as far as the average wine drinker goes - as for liquor, I have a Crystal Head Vodka bottle that I rinse out and pour whatever I’m drinking into, which is a lot cheaper than buying another Crystal Head lmao.

The solution here is obvious. Molten lava N95 masks - perfect for cold weather!

This sounds exciting but I’m trained to automatically assume that any news headline with the word “quantum” in it is bogus.

Starfield for “Most Innovative Gameplay”

I was just talking about urban rents. The fact of the matter is that climate change will not be addressed without significantly reducing the number of cars on the road, EVs or no, and you can’t do that without overhauling urban sprawl.

The fun part is that many societies have had and currently have dirt cheap urban rents, accurately reflecting the efficiency and lower cost of supplying services to people in urban areas. This isn’t even a capitalism/socialism thing, since plenty of capitalist societies have figured out how to make it work via subsidies, public housing, price controls, etc.

Yooo is that a trackball? I made the switch to a trackball because I’m a giant hipster a few months ago, but mine is an index finger one, not a thumb one. Setup looks good - an XPS is definitely on my radar for whenever the Surface I’ve been using for the past seven-ish years dies, it looks so clean.
