A rule based on ‘canonical age’ is nonsensical. They’re fictional characters.

Not to mention rule 2 and 3 when put together are incoherent. Either ‘canonical age’ is relevant and rule 3 should go, or it is irrelevant and rule 2 needs to go.

Since the appearance of a character is more important than whatever number an author decided for age, then rule 2 makes sense to remove.

I mean clearly the best choice for the mods is to comply with removing the nsfw tag but tell their communities that they are not going to be moderating nsfw posts, so please post maximum porn.

Tell Reddit with that action that they can make all the rules they want but it’s not going to get the mods to actually follow them.

It is interesting, but it’s also frustrating, and forced, effectively uncompensated work. I say ‘effectively’ uncompensated because they pay you a token amount that may have been adequate 100 years ago but now is not. Indeed, many people wind up making negative money when taking in the cost of travel and food, to say nothing of actual missed pay from their normal job.

That said it is actually kind of easy to get out of it if you really want to most of the time. When I served, the judge accepted any reasonable excuse from those who needed to leave. The most annoying part though was that it felt like the attorneys liked wasting tile on irrelevant bullshit.

Additionally, when the judge asks if there’s any reason you can’t serve you can state you will never vote against your conscience regardless of the law, and that if you don’t believe a person should be punished you will not vote them guilty no matter what the law says. They do not want and will not take someone who votes their conscience above all else.

For me, at least, it’s the fucking bad audio. So goddamn often the sound makes someone difficult to understand so I watch most things with subtitles.

I don’t have to do that with games. Why? Because I get separate volume sliders for music, sound effects, and speech. Trouble understanding just means I need to adjust those to make the speech louder over music and fx.

Why in the hells tv and movie audio tracks don’t have this separation I don’t understand at all.

I think it would be a good thing in the long run, but if suddenly people could do this it would be a hell of an adjustment period that our civilization may not survive.

A lot of the music from Sailor Moon.

Ai no Senshi

Moon Revenge

La Soldier

Golden Queen Galaxia.

And one of the few good things from the DiC dub of the series was the music.

Carry On

Only a Memory Away

Call My Name and I’ll Be There

It’s A New Day

Also some of the music from Ranma 1/2.

Kagayaku Sora to Kimi no Koe

Two Complex Thoughts

I’ve never been one to listen to that much music that’s made for music; sometimes I’ll catch something and like it, but mostly I run into music I like as part of other media I consume, so yeah, this kinda has made up the majority of the music I listen to. And since I used to watch a lot of anime (don’t quite have enough time to keep up lately) a lot of my favorite songs are in Japanese and I don’t understand any of it but I can sing along to several of them.

I’ve felt after learning this sort of thing, that no matter what bad may have happened, the world owes the British Empire a great debt of gratitude for spreading the language globally.

Without a global empire spreading a single language to every corner of the world, pretty much all the modern tools of communication would still be much more limited because we’d be a bunch of little enclaves of various languages instead of having a commonly understood one to communicate with.

It seems like some people are finally starting to wise up to the fact that work begins not when you arrive at the workplace, but the moment you stop doing what you want to do and start doing what you have to do in order to perform the job. That means it starts before you walk out the door, as soon as you start ‘getting ready for work’.

The simplest metric is this: would you be doing it if you were on vacation/weren’t working? If yes, then it’s not work. If no, then it’s work.

Interesting thing is they could do this smartly. You buy a refrigerator, and Amazon could keep track of average replacement age of that product, then about the time it’s due to be replaced, start sending you ads for another. That is when they would be useful.

Instead we get ads for the thing we just bought and I don’t understand why this practice continues. It can’t actually result in higher profits…right?

Uhh, how does a 50k fine that doubles each day come out to 350k?

Day 1: 50,000. Day 2: 100,000. Day 3: 200,000. Day 4: 400,000…

We skipped right over 350…
