I still don’t think it’s a bad take (despite all the… opinions people shared with me) and I didn’t read the article because it’s in Mandarin lol (did you read the article? >_>). The ironic thing is I only watched the most recent episode where it portrays smoking as normal and then it gets banned. So, if it was banned because of this episode I understand and agree with that because cigarettes slowly kill people in fucked up ways and this episode portraying it as a normal thing that everyone does is extremely irresponsible. Cigarettes and tobacco are shitty, awful drugs governments banning their portrayal in media that is broadcast for public consumption is saving lives and preventing suffering. Have ever seen someone dying of cancer? I have. It’s fucking awful. So I’m not going to change my “take” on this no matter how big of a selfish asshole anyone shows themselves to be.

I’m also not going to stop replying if you keep trying to goad me on so you should just block me. It’s really quite simple. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, here’s a link to the English article for your reading pleasure:

I see, and was the series removed then?

Fair. I suppose the episode I seen was more blase about it, like it was just normal for all the characters in the show to smoke which isn’t good, but could be worse.

no

Honestly, I have to agree with that. Cigarettes are gross. Tobacco is gross. And watching an episode of this made me feel gross.

Not that removing it will stop most people from watching it lol, but it is a message: “Cigarettes are bad, m’kay?”

And lo, the scholars wept for finally it was over.

Yeah, not yet; hopefly not ever. In the book the tech was eventually used by governments to rewrite everything on the web to be in line with their propaganda so anything posted would be rowlitten multiple times by bots.

Fuck. Ever read Anathem by Neal Stephenson? They can’t use the internet anymore because it’s so rife with misinformation created by AI (they used a different term in the book iirc) that it is inherently useless.

A free trip to the public spa. Free slippers. Free bath robe. Cool wrist strap. Free drugs. Cool meals in metal trays. Showers take up whole rooms.

Please do not eat them OP.

Yep, because you don’t have the genes that make you susceptible.

This has been known for awhile but it does not really depend on amount used but rather the users genetics. If that user is genetically susceptable then they will have more risk with increased use.

Benjamin Netanyahu‽ Is that you‽

too much butter

We had a good run because we were based on freedom and so many other ideals.*

Recently stopped watching mushoku because I just wanted to know how in ends, I stopped caring about how they got there. Looked up the endings of the web/light novel and moved on.

Ofc! All we need is one or seventeen groundbreaking discoveries in physics and material science and we’ll be set to carry out inter-state conflict with style.

Can’t wait for technology to make the bullet obsolete; can’t wait for the return of DrippMaxxing to modern warfare.

*sigh unzips

Everyone get in the pile.

Wow, so that means we can offer this vaccine to everyone, not only “high-risk groups” right?

…Right?

I seen an absolutely gorgeous sunset behind a superstore (canadian walmart) in an area that was about to be completely bulldozed to create more suburbs. No one will be able to see that again. Only dumpsters, fences and asphalt.

Can ostensibly walk away from it by making a dorf cocoon: dig hole with dorf in it, plug with cheese (engi platforms). Have saved many afk dorfs from certain doom this way. Has to have at least 2 dorf distance from glyphids though. They can do damage through walls.

Do you not like to dunk on settler-colonials?

! Oregon Trail mention !

Dunk on silly settler-colonials lugging all that junk across Turtle Island and risking their lives instead of learning how people have lived there for tens of thousands of years without constantly drowning and dying of dysentery.

Note: apparently there’s some good ol’ ad/malware you can ‘install’ when installing it… I run linux and play it through Steam so I’ve never encountered it, but just so youses noses.

Then everything changed when Saint Bede the Venerable attacked.

Such a shame that IT people have only recently adopted multiple backup systems.

I get the feeling this is going to be an expertly done (scientifically done, even) mash up of all the versions so far, except for the ones that definitely don’t exist. >.>

I realized today that episode two was out and I was actually excited about an anime for the first time in a long while.

Fun Fact:

Cigarette smoke, as well as smoke from burning gasoline, produces volatile compounds that react with your DNA and pulls it apart. There are a few mechanisms to repair this but sometimes it fucks up and starts a fuck up cascade of doom.
