It’s hard to separate the trash from the talk. I only got so far on that thread. Can anyone give a quick answer why they hate 4chan?

Microwaving the iphone was close to the right answer.

The most important change was going from pewpewpew to pop pop.
- Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things) 1 week ago:
I think inclusion is the point here.
No, I don’t believe Miraculous is anime, but it is a love letter to the magical girl genera.
- Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things) 1 week ago:
It’s definitely a blurry line. There are definite yes and definite no answers. Things like Star Wars: Visions don’t seem like anime to many Westerners at first glance, but it is wholeheartedly. I said elsewhere in these comments that I agree that Gaming as a community is too broad since it is nonspecific. I would leave it up to the communities to police their own content, and not step in unless the community appears unmoderated.
- Comment on Claude gets depressed, calls the FBI and attempts to shut down a vending machine business after being filled will existential dread. 1 week ago:
To be clear, that was the BEST run, when it wasn’t attempting to email the FBI or the fundamental laws of the universe.

That is a realistic measuring stick. While an Avatar (or whatever) community wouldn’t belong, content fitting a theme might be allowed. Honestly, unless someone was spamming content, I don’t see an issue with it.

It’s hard to pin down what anime and moe is 100%, but we pretty much know what you mean. We use anime and Japanese otaku culture to mean what we are saying, but Chinese games and manwah fit too.
What about Western media with anime influence?
Avatar could fit, and RWBY was on Crunchyroll. Madhouse notably has done some Western work.
I think there should be a fair amount of wiggle room because of this gray area. Cartoon network may not fit, but Toonami might.

I have blocked most of that

What kind of person shits on another for using a turn signal? My guess is it is someone who forgets to use it frequently.

Reads like an ad for Bamboo 3D printers.

This looks super fun.

I realized and deleted it. You caught me!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Not sure if this is serious or a good troll. Providing your medical history unsolicited to a corporation is a terrible idea. The real purpose of this virtual entity is to collect information. You should break ties, as they do not exist.
For conversation you can still use discord. Alternatively, you can use IRC. I wouldn’t identify myself or put medical history there, but there are plenty of places to chat.
- Comment on Google to pay $100 million to settle 14-year-old advertising lawsuit 4 weeks ago:
Annual revenue of over 250bn
That is 4 hours of work.
If their income was based on a 40 hour work week, they would be making a billion daily.
That would mean that they paid the equivalent of an hour’s worth of pay to settle an old argument.

- Comment on Kennedy and influencers bash seed oils, baffling nutrition scientists 1 month ago:
To reduce our reliance on these oils from Canada.
Also, it’s a rollback of health advice and maybe a perceived sleight to the left?
- Comment on (Troubleshooting) Advice for improvement 1 month ago:
For grinding, try calibrating with a calibration cube and calipers.
For the stringing, try calibrating your extrusion steps. If it continues, try dialing back your temp 5° at time.
There is a process for retracting slightly between hops, but that may be a slicing option.

It was the Marines. They wouldn’t share the crayons.

Assuming you mashed it well and injected it with a baster you might get something off it.
Assuming you make a habit of this, your hygiene may become a bit looser.

- Comment on Microsoft removes Windows 11 24H2 official support on 8th 9th 10th Gen Intel CPUs 2 months ago:
This really pisses me off, but because Windows 11 is not significantly different from Windows 10. I’m running Windows 10 on decades-old hardware designed for Win7.
Sure, its a bit pokey, but most of the bottleneck is HDD technology.
DDR2 throughput is about 8GB/s. SATA III is 600 Mb/s
Just installing a SSD and having 8 GB of memory is enough for the average office worker who has a browser, mail, PDF, and productivity suite.
Anything released in the past 6 years should be sufficient for this.
My bet, hands down, is that they are betting hard on AI.
- Comment on Pope Francis hospitalized with bronchitis, Vatican says 2 months ago:
As much as the Catholic church gets a bad rap, and regardless of the fact that we is well earned, his anti-Trump sentiment greatly disturbs Catholic MAGA.
I heard a Catholic family member express their happiness that a new pope is on the way.
