- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 5 discussion 2 days ago:
The fact that the writers of this cares about Hirose actually returning home for that movie project she’s working on makes all of this worth it.
I’m glad to see the actual drama of this show revolve around Hiroses understanding of storytelling, anime, and office teamwork.

I think the dub is better. There’s subtlety here in the voices that I feel like I’d miss with subtitles.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 05] 1 week ago:
Actually, were you watching in English?
The dub is bringing forth a lot of subtlety of the character journey. I dare say that the dub is superior.

Its about the same to me and matching my expectations.
But I never thought Zenshu was bad so I’m not sure what your questions about.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 05] 1 week ago:
No Zenshu yet for you?
It’s my personal top pick of the season.

Not necessarily. If a Javascript vulnerability exists, they can steal the password you type before it even reaches the database (long before the salting and hashing steps).

Go Go Loser Ranger was so much nonsense.
But I enjoyed it. Its going to be a hard recommend given how… 90s? It all was.

I think I know who the hawk is.
spoiler
There’s only one other character introduced thus far with that set of eyes. Given how much Hirose is messing up the story, its only natural that the original animation director would make an appearance. She was also food-poisoned in episode#1, meaning Hirose and Original-Animation-director both could have been Isekai’d into this world.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 3 discussion 1 week ago:
I mean, the problem is that she needs to write a romcom and she has writers block on that.
The introduction of Destiny Heartwarming and her enjoyment of Luke x Destiny interacting is clearly on the path towards the romance angle.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 3 discussion 1 week ago:
It’s a pretty straightforward theme about how an animator visiting her childhood muse to escape from writers block?
It’s not a complex theme but it’s honestly a common feeling for creators. When you get stuck you daydream about what you found fun in your childhood.
- Comment on My Hero Academia: Vigilantes | Teaser Visual 1 week ago:
Shippuden alone is twice the length of DBZ.
And One Piece is twice the length of Shippuden.
Dragonball Z Kai isnt really that long at 167 episodes. Like fucking YuGiOh is longer than DBZ Kai.

Old messed up meme. I guess its better than “An Hero” or other fucked up jokes we had a decade ago but still kind of distasteful IMO.

So no, we are not f****d, but not always saved for noble reasons.
Yeah, this statement here is likely closer to the truth than what I wrote earlier.
- Comment on He'll try, but Trump can't stop the clean energy revolution 2 months ago:
AI boom and Cryptocoin mining will eat up all the spare energy.
We are fucked.

At least in the USA, it is known as the Robber Barron period as the extremely wealthy monopolized everything.
- Comment on There is a trove of flash animation that is completely lost to history 5 months ago:
First hit on Google was this list made by some Redditor: reddit.com/…/films_that_only_exist_on_betamax_or_…
- Comment on There is a trove of flash animation that is completely lost to history 5 months ago:
Flash still got it good.
Consider the entire generation of 1970s and 1980s Betamax footage that is basically lost today.
When format wars snap to one side: VHS vs Betamax, HD-DVD vs BluRay, Flash vs HTML5, QuickTime vs DivX… The losing side basically loses a ton of footage.
- Comment on Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in fencing? 5 months ago:
that short fencers are usually quicker and dodge easier.
Lulz.
No. It’s that shorter fencers must doge quicker to compete.
In my days in College, as a 5’9" average guy, I wasn’t much faster than anyone else. And without any reach I couldn’t keep up vs the taller people either.
Just being shorter doesn’t make you faster.
- Comment on What is the conservative view on how intersex people should live their lives 5 months ago:
Something that’s turned me off of “modern” conservatism is that “modern” MAGA assholes simply refuse to believe that intersex people exist.
A reasonable Conservative following Jesus’s word should note that Jesus hung out with the leapers, Jesus not just condoned but celebrated heretics like the Samaritans, and Jesus always favored the “outsider’s opinion”. A true Christian should always be accepting of others, including Intersex people. Especially intersex, they are creations of God and if you believe that God is good then the creation of God is good.
The problems occur when the assholes start to think that Intersex is bad, anti-conservative, anti-religion or some shit. Then all of a sudden you trigger the fight-or-flight response and Conservatives lash out. There’s also a degree of historic anti-gay writings in the Bible (ex: Sodom, as well as some writings from Paul), that somehow get wrapped up into intersex issues (somehow gay == intersex in some unstudied people’s brains?!?!? Or something).
In any case, I feel like the religious interpretation is clear. Every person is holy, outsiders are welcome. If you need to denegrate Intersex individuals and call them diseased (like the Leapers of Biblical time), whatever, that’s still a group of people Jesus explicitly called out as holy, as the Leapers were more ready and willing to accept Jesus’s preaching than the Pharisees.
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 6 months ago:
I mean, when people point out that Joe Biden is a Neocon who supports Israel and USAs rightful dominant place in the world… Erm I agree with that and want to vote for him.
I’m a Neocon. And proud of it and can defend a lot of my positions.
What pisses me off about the new wave of conservatives is that it’s all reactionary. There is no guiding philosophy.
With regards to neoconservatives: I know we get a bad rap since Bush. But events like Ukraine show the importance of us being the stalwart defenders and stepping up to challenges around the world.
But thats the thing. I’ll tell you that while proudly wearing my colors as a Neocon. This ‘Libs of TikTok’ bullshit is just fucking awful politics. We can’t actually work or talk around our issues when people are pretending to be on the wrong sides of debates
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 6 months ago:
Unlike you and your ilk, I’m willing to go outside the safe zone (fkn lol) and interact with people who have different opinions. Only cowards stay in their little bubbles chit talking day in and day out. And that’s a knock at both leftists and rightists.
I’m a Republican. This area is outside my safe zone.
But outrage politics affects us all and I judge people who engage in it harshly.
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 6 months ago:
No.
You, like other conservatives, are hooked on the ravenous red meat of outrage. And instead of trying to move away from outrage politics, you defend it.
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 6 months ago:
This isn’t the flex you think it is.
- Comment on People are having trouble following Harris’s campaign Twitter account 6 months ago:
Ah.
So you’re a “Libs of TikTok” guy. Conservatives call themselves Liberal and you believe them.

- Comment on Tesla’s Share of U.S. Electric Car Market Falls Below 50% 6 months ago:
If Elon fucks it all to hell they’ll break the company into pieces, sell the various pieces to other auto manufacturers and life will move on
You mean like Delorian? Or Fisker Ocean?
Nah man. When a car company goes under, they’re dead. We know what it looks like. Otherwise, the #1 car recommend should be Fisker Ocean since its like $25k per car right now. But we all know that company is dead and no one will buy it out of bankruptcy, save those cars, or offer services (or parts) on those cars moving forward.
Same thing if Tesla ever collapses. At best maybe some patents get bought out but no one will want to be left paying the bill and supporting the (now screwed) customer base.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 seems to be the dumbest EV (dumb in a good way).
- Comment on Tesla’s Share of U.S. Electric Car Market Falls Below 50% 6 months ago:
The charger network: Superchargers are so much more plentiful than the alternatives, and there’s still not a great central charging app. I have 3 different ones installed on my phone and honestly most of them suck besides Tesla’s. Non-tesla chargers are basically just at apartments, businesses, and malls. Very few of which actually help me
Good thing Elon Musk fired the entire Supercharger team then.
