i mean, i don’t think anyone has actually considered including the leaked data in the leak announcement. it seems so obvious to just say which fields are leaked that i hadn’t even considered that someone might think to include the data itself.

or any of the other lemmy apps that start without ads…

i still haven’t heard a compelling reason to use that one other than “it’s what I was already used to on Reddit”

the crazy thing about placebo is just how effective it is. because yes, placebo could do that.

we have piles of studies that prove beyond a doubt that placebo can measurably and significantly aid in the healing of physical injuries like broken legs. you don’t Even need to believe in it. there’s studies where patients are told they’re being given a placebo that will do nothing, and they STILL got better faster than the group given nothing.

dry needing is a different thing. that’s where they electrically simulate the muscles to like hyper massage them. it’s kind of an extreme deep tissue massage. leaves me sore usually.

it’s not accupuncture, it’s a medical sound practice primarily done by physical therapists.

sure, but the issue of the un never getting things done or doing the wrong thing is due to the influence and stalling done by states that oppose the common good for religious reasons or personal gain. in the long run that’s what Palestine is likely to be.

so again, i don’t disagree with this move. it’s necessary, but i also Foresee more problems in the future. nothing really for it, just a prediction.

oh I’m aware, that’s why i said another.

honestly, as good as this may be in the short term, they’ve really just added one more highly Conservative religious state that will vote against the interest of the common good moving forward.

I strongly support Palestine gaining statehood and for Israel to stop fucking with them (that extends far beyond the war), but that doesn’t mean i like their ideals. i think there’s a strong chance that this will cause problems moving forward and that conservatives will use that as ammunition.

that said, this is the un finally really kinda doing its job for once. ending global conflict through diplomacy. can’t say that’s a bad thing.

that would be fair if these companies weren’t incredibly profitable, only increasing that profit, and only using that profit to pay the executive and shareholders.

it’s just greed. they don’t need the money.

IDK, the people deciding that only care about money. i bet it will replace the expensive ones first. this will probably make many things even more shitty, but it’s not like anyone’s going to replace the like 8 tech companies that do anything. even if they all suck even worse

what are you watching that’s uhd and high ftamerate? is is something you made? I’ve never heard of anything releasing like that because yeah, most people can’t play that lol.

yeah, they should’ve picked a more common artist. i thought it was a trick about knowing the lead singer of a band at first.

hmmm, it gets a lot more philosophical. the god of decay and god of light start kinda fighting for his soul. it becomes a story of the god of decay making a lot of really really good points.

recent shows that were way worse than the manga: faraway paladin, helck.

anime famous for this issue: berserk, tokyo ghoul, any Junji ito project

popular older anime that have this issue that aren’t as talked about: blue exorcist (though that one’s currently getting a retcon heavy sequel) trigun (the new 3d series is way more manga accurate) honestly… mostly any 90s-2000s action series. they were really caught in the weekly production aspect of it and it led to terrible pacing and tons of filler. things have gotten better.

like, one piece is terrible to watch straight. i can’t recommend anyone actually slog through what the anime was doing during dreserosa. watch the one pace fan edit, or read the manga.

Naruto is another one that got horribly butchered. especially at the end. straight up, as soon as the infinite tsukiyomoi starts, just switch to the manga for like 10 chapters, then go back to the anime. it’ll save you OVER 100 EPISODES. you can’t even just skip them as filler either. they just took each panel and stretched it into an entire arc. that means that there’s still important shit happening that you can’t actually miss… it’s horrible. they just couldn’t let it die. they wrung that shit out like a dirty wash cloth. shameful.

adaptation is hard. you can’t truly capture every last detail of a manga in an anime. it also leads to things that make more sense in manga pacing coming through a but funny at times. for example, this is largely where the whole giant anime attack thing comes from. in manga, that build up tension for a free pages then there’s like one giant full page glorious piece of art showing a single punch connect. that’s just how manga moves. that’s why some people really anime original action series. the action is likely to be more dynamic and fluid. take cowboy bebop for example. that action would’ve translated terribly into manga. it’s to small, to precise, too fast, and moves too much. that’s why it’s really worthy of praise when they go above and beyond to make something really work well.

hell, sometimes you can even make something completely different that people still like. take the shining or Lord of the rings for example. most people don’t even realize how incredibly different lotr is in the movie from the books. the movies have a much much broader appeal be kinda almost sorta inverting the message of the books and pissing all over their intent. they’re supposed to be anti war stories that show how horrible war is and that there is no honor to be found in it. there is only chaos and carnage and loss. the heroes aren’t bold and brave and strong. they’re terrified and panicked and none of them want to be there. none of the battle scenes are long or detailed. that’s all the movies. there are no great victories. they only ever barely escape the ever encroaching enemy at a great loss and with much remorse.

the movies are action adventure films about Big strong heroes triumphing over the bad guys. that’s almost the opposite of what Tolkien wanted. and yet, they’re so popular. like, are the movies bad? no. they’re great movies that are tremendously entertaining and captured my heart and soul as a child.

I don’t have the energy to go into the shining the same way anymore… but my point is, adaptation is tricky. you’ll never make everyone happy and maybe that doesn’t matter.

frieren for a recent addition. ooh, it’s not exactly high art, but interspecies reviewers was way way lewder than the manga.

i mean, this story sounds like it’s from pre-release testing, or maybe a trade show demo showing a pre-release build. it not working this way in the release version just makes sense, and doesn’t mean this is a fake story.

i work in video. i have one monitor as my primary “work” space. that’s where i put my timeline, or whatever I’m working on the most in that moment. sometimes it’s color controls, sometimes it’s keyframes and effects controls.

monitor 2 is actually my best monitor. that’s the video clean feed. that’s my big color accurate monitor.

monitor 3 is bins and scopes and effects and whatever other control surfaces and monitors i might need.

Yes, I would be very confused if you sent me one that way

Lol, saruman was more or less a theocratic monarchist with highly authoritarian practices like killing any who opposed his will. He literally used magic to dominate the wills of others. If anyone was leftist in that series it was the Hobbits. They were outright Communist with no government. Though there was certainly still a class structure of sorts there. It’s just tough to get a better look at Hobbit social politics. The books tend to just say “then they talked about their family history for 3 more hours” whenever it comes up.

Regardless, the stated intent of the story was to relay his experiences with war. Not with any political system. The forces of sauron and saruman just represented war itself. The feeling of its inevitable March towards you no matter how much you don’t want it and dread it. It’s very much how I’ve been feeling lately.

You’re just changing the direction of that light with a mirror. Picture a light bulb vs a light bulb in a flashlight with that reflector dish behind it.

Walls also do this, but to a lesser extent. If your concern is wasting light then get a lamp with a reflective directional shade. You know, like the Pixar lamp.

“i know you love sticking your dick in everything, but try not to fuck this one”

top 20 one liners for me. she was one of my favorites in that series.
