Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

Eh, I’m gonna buy it the moment it comes out in the US because the movie is fucking fantastic, but you do you.

From the article:

there’s still no easy (or legal) way to watch it with English subtitles, and there’s been no updates on when it’ll come to streaming or physical in the US or elsewhere

Ehhhhh, I don’t know if I agree with this.

American “culture” has had a whole bunch of definitions, usually changing with the decades. For most of the 20th century, you could point to something and say “That’s American”; things like milkshake bars and greasers, anything surrounding the hippie movement (that we actually probably stole from somewhere else), and… Whatever that strange design of random shapes the 90s had.

After 2000, there hasn’t been really anything that stands out, in part due to the rise of the internet, and in another, the dangerous build environment. In order to have culture, people need to congregate in a place and create something meaningful. Because Americans go to work and then go home, often with little-to-no time in between from long commutes, they have no time to create the next “culture moment”.

This is it. This is the comment that makes me realize that I’m old.

Decent. Not as good as the bottomless pit guy, though

Maybe he was confused? Most people just try on sweaters at or near the rack, if they try them on at all.

This once happened to me, thankfully for only a few hours rather than days. I woke up one morning to a fwipping noise in my ear, went to the bathroom to see if I could flush it out with water, and a spider just dangled on a line out of my ear.

It was strange, but not really scary. Jumping spiders are harmless to humans, and this one was only a millimeter or so big.

I’d love to kick some money his way, but he only has two tiers: $20/mo and $100/mo. I think he could get a lot more donations if he started with a $5/mo tier.

I think he’d also do well to make a “this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4” sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.

Almost certainly it originated from pen and paper shorthand. The internet has a lot of history in regard to it potentially being due to T9 slang, but I remember it being shown to me before cellphones were in wide use.

Discord and YouTube are my two holdouts. The YouTube algorithm understands me too well and the amount of content on the platform is too insane for me to quit, but I could leave Discord (I’m never on it anyway)

Have you told them about our lord and savior Pixelfed?

Surprisingly enough, guys who have hair like this have a 100% chance of stealing your girl.

Thank you, you’re doing Kami’s work.

The online Etymology Dictionary cites Oll Korrect, but says popularity is from President Martin Van Buren’s reelection bid, based on his old nickname, ‘Old Kinderhook’. https://www.etymonline.com/word/OK#etymonline_v_2557

Can someone provide context? Or at least the name of the manga?

Edit: the context of this photo is that Kyousuke has a Polaroid camera that will copy a person’s physical traits and imprint them on another person who touches the film that is printed. He has used this camera on his crush, imprinting her form on the girl with glasses in the image.

At the point of the image, he has finally asked his crush out and no longer needs the camera, and so the girl in the image has asked for the camera (because she has a crush on Kyousuke).

Ironically enough, this is also the code that is perplexing Elon Musk over at X Twitter

In the US: you are legally allowed to have a backup copy of any media you have (digital -> physical, physical -> digital, or any other match up). Since you own the physical copy of these movies, this means you’re allowed to have the digital one as a backup.

Your physical disks are encrypted, and breaking said encryption to make a copy is technically illegal. Downloading the files from somewhere is not illegal, but sharing them is.

With all that said, if you own the disk, and either download or torrent without seeding, you’re well within your rights legally.

Your other option is to use Handbrake or another disk ripping software, along with dvdcss or aacs and rip your disks yourself.

I found the actual list for 2023. Kinda crazy that Bill Gates has dropped to #6 and Zuckerberg isn’t on the top 10 list at all anymore.

That wallpaper is rustling my jimmies. The bar on the right should be vertical with the text, so it should actually read
