  Crunchyroll’s (then Funimation) acquisition of Animelab is what led me to stop paying to stream anime.

  Lower quality videos. Harder to navigate. Distracting watermarks on the side of the screen. Blocking VPNs. Ads even though you already pay them.

  I hate that there is so little effort put into preventing monopolies from buying out the competition

  Sorry for the delayed response, it took me a while to do the calculations but I finally figured out out:

  It’s magic.

  I hope this helps.

  Edit: it’s both extremely telling and extremely concerning how much my rational take on consent is triggering all these pathetic men.

  You initial comment was rational, it was well-thought out and you made a fair point while ending the comment on a positive note. Left alone, I would have upvoted your well-considered opinion and moved on.

  However, your follow up responses and your edit were unprovoked ad hominem sexist attacks where you assume everyone who disagrees is a mansplaining penis-wielder whose words have less value than your own. While having your views challenged can be difficult, responding in the manner you are only detracts from your argument.

  Huh. I run a LLM locally on my own machine. Not looking forward to my next water bill.

  The reason for that actually makes sense. It’s rarely clear how and when someone contracted a prion disease at time of diagnosis, and often it is unclear which specific prion disease a person has. While it may seem that a father contracted a prion disease after you were born, it could also be that the father has an inheritable prion disease that you too may have inherited.

  Eating brain/spinal cord is not required to contract a prion disease; prions can also be spread through any biological medium where protein material is located, for instance, blood. This is the reason why those who have CJD or other TSEs in their family are unable to donate blood.

  This is also how vampires became extinct.

  I wonder how much of their income actually goes towards development. At a glance, it seems a great deal of unnecessary administrative bloat has been added to Mozilla.

  I honestly don’t see why a browser company needs to be so large (>700 employees).

  Not that I want people to lose their jobs, it just seems unnecessary.
