- Comment on Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime? 18 hours ago:
I see you don’t need more convincing.
Dungeon Meshi has one of the more populated communities on Lemmy, !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.
It’s mostly just fanart as we’re between seasons, but the episodes discussions threads are likely to be quite active again once the second season starts.

Bad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let’s not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?
- Comment on Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay Trailer 2 days ago:
I have.
But Redout isn’t big enough to bring a lot new AG players in.
This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will.
And that’s the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it’s mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.

You can nest spaces.
A space is just a group of channels. So to get groups of channels inside the space, you just create “spaces” inside the space.
This is how my discord servers show up in my matrix accounts since I use duscord via a bridge.

Neat!
- Comment on Star Wars: Galactic Racer - Gameplay Trailer 3 days ago:
I literally don’t care that it’s star wars.
I’m just happy to see AG racing still be alive.
WipEout and F-Zero are gone, seemingly never to return.

The only way I see John Wick working as a game, is if they do something like Sifu.

That’s not quite right. Our sun has never gone nova, and is a fairly young main sequence star. It’s still in the first “main sequence” of fusion after accumulating from scattered matter. It’s heavy enough to do fusion, but not heavy enough to really “properly” go boom at the end.
While novas form heavy elements, the originating star either becomes a neutron star or black hole. Sol, our sun, is a a “normal” star which means it won’t properly go nova. It’ll just “burn out” and become a white dwarf.
The matter ejected by a Nova flies out into the universe and falls in the gravity wells of other Solar systems. So our heavy elements likely hail from millions of other past stars.

Well yeah without an active session into something it gets tricky.
I just shamelessly start saving their credentials into my bitwarden.
My relatives that I was able to train into using it, have their passwords shared with me via organizations. And I’m set up as their vault recovery.
I also have “parental” access to the location of my grandmas tablet and phone. Which also doubles as a way to see if she’s turned on airplane mode and isn’t getting our calls and messages.
- Comment on Bingo! 6 days ago:
Helping other people break back into their own accounts simply because they’ve forgotten the password is tediously frustrating
I’ve done it enough to start getting good at it.
At this point I’m kind of scared of how easy it.
I’m at a point where if someone says they don’t remember a password, my next question is “can I see your phone for a second” and as long as they hand it to me unlocked I’ll be in the account in about two minutes.

- Comment on Your teenager AND your husband 1 week ago:
I wish I had been taught to eat a single serving, wait, and then eat more if necessary.
My parents kinda did.
They did prevent us from eating more than about a plateful in one go, but it was never done in such a way so as to shame us.
If we were still hungry 15 minutes later, then yea have some more.
In the same vein, our parents made it a point that if we were hungry, we could eat. Wake up in the middle of the night hungry? No worries, fix yourself a sandwich or whatever else. They never, ever, shamed us for eating when hungry.
It was always “are you really still hungry” or “careful, too much too fast and you’ll feel like throwing up” and also “don’t forget to eat, I bet you’re hungry by now” when we got old enough to prepare meals for ourselves.
Food was never off limits at home, and the amounts were always about feeling good. Enough to be sated, not so much you felt sick.

- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
Why does, not taxing moving money end public funding
Because eventually everyone is below the “wealth cap”. Which means no-one pays any further tax. Why would anyone accrue more wealth at that point?
Okay, it can be 2%, and this is enough.
If we’re taxing everyone, then yes, sounds about right.
Because when the government owns everything, that means the people in government become rich.
Are you suggesting we privatize everything?
Wealth control means giving them the wealth, and not owning by the government.
Ok, but how do decisions get made?
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
The fuck do you mean by “wealth control”?
Are you referring to UBI?
It sounds like what youre sctually arguing for, is an asset cap. Where any property above a certain cap goes to the government.
If the cap is 10M, how do we fund UBI, infrastructure and emergency services once evryone is below that cap?
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
You cant fix loopholes without taxing all billionaires until none exists, because they will constantly bribe government. Even if you fixed loopholes, they will create intentionally.
Then how is your proposal a solution?
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
They are already doing this. 'Spending faster than they earn"
Yea. I said that.
as many “milllionares” do
you are still thinking like income tax
What do you mean by income tax? Because clearly you aren’t uderstanding what I mean.
I mean ALL income. Of any kind. No loopholes. The problem isn’t conceptual. It’s practical
You’re arguing for a complete conceptual shift for no reason, when what’s really needed, is just look tat how the rich ar avoiding taxation, and closing the legal loopholes they use. Which your “wealth tax” won’t do. Especially as “wealth” doesn’t actually have a value until it’s bought or sold.
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
And would a “wealth” tax not have an inherent loophole in that the “rich” could avoid paying tax by simply spending faster than they earn, or even staying in debt, as many “milllionares” do?
And would it not punish poor people who try to save up, by taxing them more the more they save up?
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
That doesn’t answer my question.
A workers salary ≠ Income
It’s one form of it.
Stocks are income. Inheritance is income. Land appreciation is income.
How is your conceptual wealth tax, not just the same as what income tax should already be.
The problems you list are all loopholes in the applicable laws, not income tax as a concept.
You get me?
- Comment on Income Tax Is Theft 1 week ago:
What is the difference between income tax and your “wealth” tax?
Is it not just the exact same thing, but applied at a different point in the process?

It’s definitely worth watching, at least.
No-one is saying it isn’t.
But of course the manga “set the standard”. The parts of 2003 that were adapted from the manga, follow its writing.
The writing past that point, even if it had nothing to “follow”, and is since original, was by someone else. And in my opinion, you can tell. I watched 2003 without even knowing about Bortherhood, or the manga. And while I like it, I did feel it went “off the rails” in terms of the writing, charachter development and worldbuilding.
And that’s without knowing at the time that those feelings co-incided with the change in who was writing the story.
As a narrative, IMO, the original manga/brotherhood is a more internally consistent narrative, with charachter arcs that make more sense, and a world with greater implied detail.
That is simply down to the fact that when you pass the bat on writing the way the 2003 series did. People can tell.
Like two halves of a painting done by two artists, where one didn’t expressly try to mimic the other. And even when they do, it’s never the same.
The difference doesn’t make one or the other half worse, but unlike art where creators collaborate throughout, when you “draw the rest of the owl” the “new” artist will never be able to tie up every thread the original set up, and in ways that’ll make sense in the context of things only the original artist is aware of.
