TBF, there are a lot more things we need to learn and memorize today than back then. The odyssey could literally be like one of two things of media or entertainment in a persons life back then.

A bit of a spoiler but they weren’t entirely wrong about that plan.

I think there was a canonical reason like brain-elasticity allowing the pilot to interface with the EVA (which was actually problematic in some cases so they had to install a 1 directional filter for the teen to pilot the EVA and not vice-versa).

Also, pretty sure the EVA are literally crafted from the hybridization of DNA and godflesh and uses the pilot’s own mother as a base. It’s symbolic of the mother protecting their unborn child from the horrors of the outside world, including from their own father in Shinji’s case, but ultimately failing and all the characters developing trauma as a result. So if it were adults the symbolism would be mostly lost.

AFAIK no country on earth has brought humans to the moon since the Apollo missions ended, so no.

Technically the ISS isn’t NASA and it has happened to them as well.

For the unaware, “liberation day” is what the Trump admin calls the day they enacted a shitload of tariffs.

No hammers and sickles tho so that’s based.

Amending this scene from Higurashi where a chick repeatedly leans into a knife held against the wall for support:

I don’t think I’ve ever found them scary, tbh. There was this guy from the 1996 Birdy the Mighty OVA who ate a bunch of dogs and two robots:

And then theres the entirety of Elfen Leid:

Mostly though I just consider it all as cartoon violence, you know?

How wild would it be if both things were true?

Also a lot of persecution of certain knowledge by a certain religion and decline of certain mediteranean empires.

Except for the east, they were in the middle of a philosophical boom.

Cabbage and Lamb sounds pretty good rn fr fr

Yeah thats the one. I think he might be on Newgrounds as well.

Theres an animation I saw once where Hatsune Miku was dating a member of the Beatles by AfroNinja.

45 years of 4-koma, huh? Neat.

I’m gonna guess them left to right top to bottom

Death Stranding

Did I get it right?

Am I crazy or does his bust kind of look like Gabe Newell?

TBF rice noodles last longer than minimally processed grains, at the cost of some nutritional value.

Vietnam was in the middle of a civil war between a brutal dictatorship aligned with the eastern bloc and a brutal republic aligned with France and the USA.

I will always stand against autocracy. The USA and France failed to protect South Vietnam.

In the good timeline, North Vietnam fell. In a better timeline they exist in careful balance similar to thr Korean peninsula.

IMO the reason the USA lost in Vietnam is because of:

A) Inadequate treatment of the Vietnamese civilians, often targeting them instead of attempting to convert them, and generally not investing into necessary infrastructure.

B) Terrible incompetent top-level leadership prolonging the war for years for personal gains.

I think in another timeline it could have been one of the nation’s greatest accomplishments, instead it is among their greatest shames.

Lmao

Actually just left windows 10 LTSC a couple of months ago because a security update failed to install.

Never going back. Linux is just better. Never crashes, startup from shutdown state takes seconds, I have way more control over my PC.

That whole clip of OJ Simpson adding attachments to his gun until it ends up like this is pretty funny. I also like the nod to him in the new movie where all the officers are crying in front of their father’s portraits except for the OJ Simpson one where the guy’s just like “nah” and walks away from it.

Tolerance must end with the intolerant, and all that.

Wouldn’t be me, cruelty for cruelty’s sake, but I respect the choice without objection.

Looking at the map on https://efe.cl the overall rail coverage is great, though idk how easy it is to get through various customs.

I imagine this person, and most modern humans, would not survive in a low-tech situation. The show “Naked and Afraid” is pretty good to get an understanding of why: not enough food. You “win” the show by surviving as a duo for 21 days, contestants have been failed for minor cuts and sleeping under a poisonous tree, among other issues.

The most successful dude I’ve ever seen on the show got put on an island covered in mice. His strategy involved setting up some rocks and the mice kept knocking the rocks over and killing themselves, which he would then prepare to eat. His co-survivor actually complained that he was catching so many mice that it was keeping her up at night. One of the only contestants to ever gain weight. He did get some leg cramps while swimming to the rescue near the end, otherwise 9/10 performance.

Also applies to 21st century industrialists who aren’t allowed to employ children for meat packing plants, apparently.

One thing that surprised me about my switch to linux is that my nvidia driver no longer conflicts with my audio interface and I can switch between the two without even needing to refresh web pages or other applications. Windows actually BSOD’ed a couple of times because of it.

Wait until you hear about Grimschitz
