- Comment on Generative AI is reshaping South Korea’s webcomics industry 2 days ago:
Korean shounen stuff can be solid, like Solo levelling, The Breaker, God of High School, or Omniscient Reader, but outside of that it gets a bit more iffy.
IMO the real trash market is China. Everything I’ve read from there just feels forgettable and soulless.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’. 1 week ago:
Jack Dorsey, who owns dozens of patents, conveniently does not opt to lead the charge by cancelling them all.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 1 week ago:
Considering Vince McMahon didn’t know what a burrito was, I’m not particularly surprised.
Madigan told PWTorch editor Wade Keller: "It’s one of these stories that always repeats itself. I think the idea was they were trying to work an angle with Big Show and - like Andre (the Giant), here’s a guy who is so physically big and physically imposing - what can you do to get over on Big Show? And how are you going to do it?
"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: ‘We’re going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.’ So, Vince goes, ‘Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?’ It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, ‘Well, we know what a burrito is.’ And Vince goes, ‘Well, where the hell have I been?’
“But, the funny thing is, Wade, every day at noon, Vince’s secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that’s the idea - when you’re in a bubble and in a business where you’re ostracized from society, it’s you and them, that’s it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world.”
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 weeks ago:
If I never actually owned a Ubisoft game that logically pirating them isn’t theft right? Right?

- Comment on US | Trump says ‘there are methods’ for seeking third term in White House 3 weeks ago:
Strom Thurmond hit triple digits, Ol’ turtleface McConnell is 83 and is simply retiring. One would hope the cheeseburgers and diet cokes would have taken care of Donny years ago but here we are.
- Comment on One-handed games? 4 weeks ago:
I think a fair amount of survivor games like Vampire Survivors and 20 minutes til dawn are intended for just one hand. Then there’s every turn based strat game like Civilization and stellaris, along with every turn based RPG out thete
Here’s a curator for one handed gaming as well. …steampowered.com/…/41112101-One-Handed-Gamer/
- Comment on Discord is getting mobile ads 5 weeks ago:
The setting says “If you opt out you might still see Quest promotions, but they won’t be personalized to your activity”. I’m on Nitro Basic (The 3 dollar a month plan.) and I don’t see any method for disabling them completely.

- Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?? 1 month ago:
Vocally theres gonna be cracks as it deepens. It sucks, nothing to be done.
There will be at least one wet dream if not more, Hydrogen peroxide soak, then wash with OxiClean should rock those stains as both are recommended for ‘protein’. Wash cold.
Erections at random times will 100% happen. It’s expected.
Acne will happen, body is a wreck of hormones. Use a new pillowcase nightly, do skincare, should largely be fine. If it gets wild prescription stuff might be needed.
Thats all the big puberty stuff really, short of whether the quarterback or head cheerleader makes his pp into the big pp but thats a whole other discussion.

Senkaku Islands are the center of a dispute between Japan and China, both claim them, both have names for them. Wikipedia goes more in depth.

On google maps we get…
So it’s not like they can’t give stuff multiple names.

- Comment on 'Stop talking s*** about us' - Half-Life 2 mod blacklists a handful of YouTubers as 'anticitizens' and blocks them from playing 4 months ago:
I mean, its not trolling if the mod has persistent issues that keep not getting addressed and those keep getting pointed out. Like folks pointing out how bad darksydephil is at video games.
Though, to be fair, I don’t know the youtubers in question so maybe they are just huge assholes. vOv

ahh yes, if you block them from playing, surely they won’t make any content about that and will go on with their day. Brilliant idea. 🙄
- Comment on Joe Biden issues 'full and unconditional' pardon for son 4 months ago:
GOP will bitch ofc… but really they just wanted another hillaries emails to fill empty spots in the news cycle so their bullshit would get overshadowed. Biden stopped that shit.

- Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 5 months ago:
For reference on the no training side:
Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren’t medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren’t folks you’d want around for your heart attack.
