Which ones and why?

I sense a fun story and I’m here for it.

…trying?

I loved their first album, listened to it a lot. Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja and The Fake Sound of Progress are both amazing tracks. Unfortunately they’re both vocalized by a literal baby rapist, so it’s hard to rock out to them now. Asshole wrote the tracks too, so I doubt No Devotion will ever cover them.

As for Guns N’ Roses, a friend pointed out something that’s been living in my head for months now: Axl Rose is the Starscream of Guns N’ Roses.

Seriously. For the same price as McD’s I can go to In-n-Out. That’s just comparing fast food places. For the price they’re charging for a Quarter Pounder I may as well go to a sit-down restaurant.

If you compare that to the average cost of living in Japan it’s a bit closer to $300 in terms of spending power.

Either way it’s a lot cheaper than I’d expect to have to pay anyone for sex work, much less something that blatantly illegal.

Oh, as for the age of consent thing that change just made it a national crime. Every prefecture in Japan had already raised the age of consent to 16 (or higher) well before last year. The only places it didn’t apply were some remote military bases and IIRC the portion of Antarctica that Japan claims. Still a good move but it’s not like Japanese pedos were just having sex with 13-year-olds without consequence before then.

There? Really? There is where you draw the line? Killing a dog is fine, but lying about meeting a dictator is too far? Just trying to keep track here.

Rolled Japanese style, aka tamagoyaki. That is really difficult.

Over easy is as easy as the name though.

Let 'em frown. You have Cinnamon Toast Vodka now.

Zero. Every time I’ve been on the verge of blocking a community (or instance, since kbin can do that) it winds up vanishing anyway.

Local safety regulations require a breathalyzer test before you’re allowed upstairs.

If you’re going to have a shitty anticheat at least give people the option to play in anticheat disabled lobbies.

This, a thousand times. I can understand requiring anti-cheat for Ranked matches, but some of us just wanna screw around. If there’s no progression tied to the match why should they care?

(Microtransactions, if I had to guess)

The “distributions” argument always smells like bullshit. Developers actually interested on supporting Linux usually stick to one or two distros of their choice. (Typically Ubuntu.)

My thoughts exactly. It is not unheard of at all for Linux ports to only be guaranteed to function on specific distros. It’s well within the realm of possibility and this is not a real stumbling block at all.

Seconding NewPipe. It’s the easiest to get set up, and once you get it set up you basically never have to touch it again.

YouTube Revanced is more user friendly and has more features once it’s set up, but the install process is more involved and updating it essentially requires you to redo the install process again. It’s nothing crazy, but NewPipe is the “set it and forget it” option IMO.

Try to see if there are any that do that little Javascript-evaluation-to-render-the-client-side-site thing, and if there are, have them mine cryptocurrency for you.

Using your evil powers for good I see.

Beast Wars. My wife and I both remember loving it when we were younger and wondered if that was just nostalgia and being a kid. It was not, the show is legitimately good.

You say, I feel that, and yet every time another poll about the economy comes out its like I live in a different universe entirely.

The upcoming Fallout series on Amazon Prime. This is a screencap taken from one of the most recent trailers.

The other guy is worse, so we really don’t have to listen to a damn thing you say at all and you have to vote for our guy, get that through your poverty addled brains.

I mean I hate to say it but this is unironically true. As bad as things are now The Other Guy absolutely would make things worse. Neoliberals may be a scourge but MAGA is cancer. One of the bad cancers. Not even prostate cancer, like pancreatic cancer.

No hats. Toques are allowed, everything else is banned.

It’s always rough when a gang of Chefs take over a school.

Supposedly there was a similar policy at my elementary school early on, which led to a kid being forced to eat something they were allergic to. As the story goes, they vomited violently all over the lunch monitor and then had to be taken to the nurse’s office. Their parents were not amused. The policy did not stay in place.
