Haven’t been following current anime. Started watching Dungeon Meshi because I like the idea and it looked fun. Absolutely in love with it.

To scratch the fantasy anime itch between episodes I started watching Frieren: Beyond journey’s end. Hooked me with the first episode and has only been getting better!

I want to add that the box office income is simply one of the only objective metrics to compare the success of films.

The first time I saw a bag like that, I was shocked as well. Seems like just the worst idea to use plastic to create tea bags. Turns out it is and they weren’t made out of plastic. It’s a starch based fiber that is biodegradable. I don’t think you could have plastic tea bags here in the EU in any case. I’d wager yours isn’t plastic either. Yeah, so you probably got mildly infuriated over nothing, just like I did the first time I saw one of these 🤷

“This is a free country, mate! We’re not in communist China now!” Calm down, mate. You’re in the UK.

But obviously, as insufferable as he is, that is his right. He probably was exactly the right person to really blow this all up. I doubt though that it will actually go anywhere.

You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.

I’ve been looking forward to continue Jujutsu Kaisen, but I can hardly remember season 1. It seems to have been overwritten by Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer in my head.

Watching season 2 was a bit confusing at first, especially because it’s about events that happen before season 1. But now I’m wondering what I ever liked about the series. The characters are bland, the abilities and powers feel inconsistent. But most damning of all is the constant exposition. Every fart has to be explained by a character and it’s somehow simultaneously unnecessarily complicated and boring. But the animation is great!

On the upside I gave Pluto on Netflix another shot. The first time I bounced off it after the first 15min. This time I made it through the first episode, which didn’t quite hook me either. But after hearing so much praise about it, I immediately went into episode 2 and finally got it. Reminded me of sci-fi classics like Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. And of Watchmen, the comic in particular. Haven’t finished it yet, but would also highly recommend it to anyone interested in dense, philosophical sci-fi!

Yes

As others have already said, it’s a pop song by 2Raumwohnung (which translates to 2 room apartment). Here are the translated lyrics:

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

Look what the boys are doing back there
And tell them: "I want that too"
Because every time the boys do that
Then I realize what I need

I'll give you a present, please open it
Order me a drink, I'll come up to your place
Or will you come down to me? I want to see your rooms
We're lying in front of the minibar, come on, let's go for a swim

36 degrees and it's getting hotter
Never turn down the beat again
36 degrees, no fan
Life doesn't seem hard at all
36 degrees, ah-ah-ah
36 degrees, ah-ah-ah

Look what they're doing back there again
I don't know what it's all about, but I think it's good
All the boys are singing and dancing here
Come on girls, here we are

Shoes off, bikini on, let's go out
It's starting to rain
And we're dancing and we can already see the sun again
And now a rainbow, wow, it's beautiful (oh)

36 degrees and it's getting even hotter
Never turn down the beat again
36 degrees, no fan
Life doesn't seem hard at all
36 degrees, ah-ah-ah
36 degrees, ah-ah-ah

Here boys, there girls, go on, go on, go on
Give it your all and more than you can
No one knows what's about to happen, but everyone here knows
This is the air that burns

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah

36 degrees and it's getting even hotter
Never turn down the beat again
36 degrees, no fan
Life doesn't seem hard at all (ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)
Give it your all and more than you can
Here boys, there girls, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on,

Maybe oldschool Dragon Balls or Rurouni Kenshin? I wonder if Hunter x Hunter or One Piece might be better? I’ve only watched the former a bit and I think it has significantly less graphic violence at least. Alternatively maybe something completely silly like Samurai Pizza Cats.

Can’t imagine why 😆 Man, I love AMVs! The happy tone of the music is an interesting contrast to the violence on screen. The whole video reminds me a lot of one of my favorites: AMV NGE Metallica “Waste my Hate”

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

1 minute in: “However, at a time in which extreme cultural divisions had seen Trump valiantly slay maniacal establishment whore and serial rape apologist Hilary Clinton”

Yeah, nope.

I think the internet as we know it is dead, and tbh I don’t even blame big corporations for this. I blame mass tech illiteracy, and people’s willingness to sacrifice their privacy for some dopamine hits.

So, you’re blaming the victims? Not the billion dollar corporations, leveraging their immense power and wealth to drain as much value out everything they touch just to discard what remains the second it’s not creating enough money for them? Instead you blame the tech illiterate, that never had a chance? The poor and exploited, caught in the hamster wheel of capitalism barely able to plan until the next pay check?

Thanks very much for the detailed explanation! I guessed it had to be something like that, but I didn’t know 911 would have access to that and was surprised by the accuracy. I guess they might have heard them in the apartment, that’s why they were able to pin it down so quickly.

“officers were promptly dispatched to the location traced through the ping of the females cell phone”

What?

That looks promising!

Probably because there is less content

That’s so fucking accurate! I’m in tears. JP impressions always crack me up, even if they are bad, but these dudes are spot on!

I thought the content will still be available on the other instances that were federated before the instance went down.

Crazy stuff!
