Part of the American Problem is that the US military will bomb, drone strike civilians, infrastructure, and there is nothing in war that is more of an acceptable target than a soldier because the soldier is the cog in the genocide engine. Americans do not accept that the US soldier is a valid target
Got my JLPT N5 certificate in the mail today :)
might be news to you, but the US constitution does not apply to switzerland
Yeah, that was how many years ago? 30?
Not a single day without a Crunchyroll fuckup
That seems to have happened a lot. Also with the Dilbert guy and with Eric Raymond. Dawkins, too, I guess?
The frothiness after 9/11, not the head injury, I mean
True :(
Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.
Would it be viable to just enable some HTTP Basic auth, and give out passwords in person?
It's a bit annoying, but should work for a handful people?
Also, whether Seven Seas or its staff are against AI translation or not simply doesn't matter
They have no say in that. They've been bought
When their Media Do masters say "jump!", they're going to ask "how hAIgh?" or be laid off
Their protest skeets are just farts in the wind
Ages ago, I stumbled upon a website that had a list of press releases of acquired companies
Always the same pattern of "we're staying committed", followed by "our journey comes to an end" shortly later
Anybody remember what that website's name was?
Yeah, right, just like
"ComiXology will retain its identity as an Amazon subsidiary and we’re not anywhere near done 'taking comics further'"
Don't talk until you develop a culture, USian
Everyone disliked that.
Well shit. Seven Seas, one of the bigger English-language manga & light novel distributors, bought by a company proudly touting its AI slop translation software. Not good.

Oh, right, IIRC Æthel is cognate to the German Adel, meaning nobility, that makes sense
I guess it's similar to the (somewhat archaic) German name Adelheid?
That would be a Tragedeigh
...does she know who the pope is, what the catholic church is and what their (nominal) positions on war and peace are?

Damn, every week I think "this, this is a perfect episode, surely Frieren is the anime of the season"...
...Ikoku Nikki / Journal with Witch comes along and completely obliterates it
They're both really really good and I can't decide which is better
Before systemd, that was already a solved issue, with a ulimt for core file size set to something reasonable (and potentially defaulting to 0)
I'd say if it is constitutional, that means your constitution is dog shit
Damn, I love Frieren
This episode too was the perfect mix of somber melancholy and funny
I really want to like The Holy Grail of Eris, but it's difficult when it rushes through 5 dozen plot points, without breathing, every episode
I guess that's because it only got 12 episodes, but the story could have used 24
It's interesting that my email is in that breach. I don't have a car, I don't buy tires
I'm not even in Canada (or even in the Americas). I don't think Canadian Tires (or any of their related stores like SportCheck) even ship to Europe
I assume it abuses ligatures for that trick?
