I don't think its that strange. i just don't find these scenes to be funny and that is what they tend to be used for. Unfortunately, i want to watch shows with overpowered characters, which tend to be geared towards kids who enjoy these scenes more.

Here is a link to some examples from FMA brotherhood. The sharp teeth, deformed characters, etc. It just breaks me from the story. you can convey emotion without monologue just fine. Another link from demon slayer. I get that it is supposed to be funny, and my example is a fairly obvious one. But there was another scene from mugen train where Rengoku is talking and he is getting bigger and bigger. He explains the plan and then while he's talking, the other characters make a comment about how big he's become. Three times. Like come on, you can't just have a serious conversation? it's like the show doesn't think you can pay attention for more than 3 seconds, so they have to throw in a "joke".

I hope that makes more sense. I know most people don't mind, but i do.

Up voted for this. I have a bunch of Yolink products. It all works seamlessly. I've got motion lights setup. I have my bathroom exhaust fan set to turn on at a specific humidity level. I've got their door locks, garage door opener. Hell, I've got the float switch set to tell me when my dogs need more water.

They have so many products and they all work together very well. It truly feels like a smart home now and it's all the same brand so I don't have to worry about compatibility problems or using a third party software. I do have them linked to home assistant for the few things I have from other brands. But I can't reccomend Yolink enough

This comment reminds me of the Eichmann trial. He wasn't inherently evil like we want to believe. He was just a man doing his job, sending jews to their death. It's pretty chilling to think about the evils he carried out when he was just doing what he was told to do.

Another somewhat counterpoint, I think in today's society it's harder than it traditionally has been. Specifically, I would love to go to protests and be more active. But for me it's really hard to do that because I have obligations. Specifically, I can't take a week off of work to go to DC and hold some signs. It's not that I'm refusing to do anything, I just don't have the time when I'm more worried about my mortgage. I do donate to charities but it's very difficult to do much more because of debt.

I've got two:

“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.” by Terence McKenna

And the other is from an old salty chief when I was in the navy. This is paraphrasing but:

"Every fuck up comes down to a combination of three root causes: didn't know, didn't care, or a material problem"

Someone gets hurt on the job? Well, did they not know they were doing something wrong? Did they not care enough about safety? Or was it simply because something broke? Maybe they didn't know AND they didn't care to find out.

Let's not forget that Nixon also got the controlled substance act passed in 1971 and kick started the war on drugs.

I've been doing that for things like shampoo and detergents. But unfortunately I've got celiacs. All my food HAS to be packaged so that I know it's safe to eat.

Set up a Minecraft server back when you could run the Java files off of a USB. ran for a while, nothing fancy.

I also renamed every calculator icon to "cockulator". Boy oh boy did I think that was funny back then. (it's still a little funny)

Tha KS for all your hard work! The app is fantastic.

Edit: deleted a bug I found because it seems to work correctly now

I guess I should try wefwef. Connect has been working nearly perfectly for me for the last week or so and the dev keeps adding new features. I think I might be loyal already.

My favorite has always been that falling coconuts kill more people than sharks

It's not super niche, but I've never met anyone outside of the hobby that even knows it exists.

Anyway, I enjoy car audio competitions a lot. One version is SPL (sound pressure level) where the goal is to build a system that can get as loud as possible. Then there's SQ (sound quality) that's more about making the best sounding system you can, which is also fairly artsy (make it look pretty).

There's a lot of people who are assholes about it, they're the kid down the street blaring his music at 10 o clock at night. Every who does it for a hobby are very respectful of other people and recognize that the vast majority of people don't wanna hear your music.

I enjoy it for a few reasons. Firstly, I just love music. Music is a while body experience. It's not just your ears, but your skin reacts to the vibrations as well, and you just aren't gonna get that experience with cheap speakers. The car is a great place to feel music because it's enclosed and you can generally go somewhere to not bother people.

The other part, is that its very hands on and problem solving. You're doing woodworking, electrical design, maybe fiberglass. Lots of different engineering.

Your best bet would be to use handbrake and transcode them down yourself. I have a relatively. I've setup for my living room and thus want to get the best quality I can. Exact opposite reasons to you but, It's easy to downgrade, basically impossible to upgrade.

But that's my two cents. Ideally, every file is uploaded with both of us in mind.
