If my conservative mother had the brain capacity to actually process what was going on on her tv, she probably wouldn't be a conservative. She snaps at me whenever I swear, but this shit is blaring on her tv constantly. If I ever comment on what's on, she has no clue what I'm talking about.

At a certain point, I forgot the name of an online store that sold a lot of cool modding gear. It was impossible to find with searches without the name, but I found an old tour of the warehouse in my very old files one day and it was called Lik-Sang. It's so old, I probably don't even have access to the email I used for those purchases anymore.

Not internet, but I a certain scene in an anime on Scifi channel always stuck with me. Eventually, I figured out it was Zeiram the Animation, but the scene had a different dub. That was the era when shows would sometimes have more then one English dub for one reason or another.

I also remember seeing an episode of Max Steel in the hotel room while on a family trip to Canada which had a different opening with a different explanation to how the MC got his powers. Chalking it up to some BS&P issue.

There was some AMVs I saw at Otakon that never got released online. A really good Kino's Journey one, but I don't remember the song at the moment.

Now I'm digging up obscure media from my brain. Apparently, it's not lost media or even good, but I remember watching a prerelease of Game Over at a gaming con once. I guess one episode is lost media.

Shame Welcome to Eltingville never got a full series. CN sure got a lot of mileage out of playing the pilot for a show they opted not to continue.

edit: oh for fun. A friend of mine has been on the hunt for a version of Zorro he saw bits of as a kid. He's never been able to figure out what version of it it was, even though every time he brings it up, we tell him it was actually The Princess Bride. Seriously, he wont watch The Princess Bride, but is convinced that it's not what he saw.

Oh, and there's allegedly a Japanese show that's allegedly streaming on Japanese Amazon called Space Jobs. This is the trailer I found on a fansub torrent site.

Power Take Off?

Which is all they want out of human intelligence anyway.

Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.

Remember Taylor Swift. All talk, but when it came to climate change, she had to be shamed into limiting her private jet use.

Disney was highly supportive of Queer rights, until they weren't.

Dixie Chicks actually put something on the line and suffered for it. They even changed their name to distance themselves even more from that part of history. I doubt a social media manager would have approved any of that.

Ariana Grande is just playing to her audience.

You know she had a social media manager handling her tweets? Even if she wrote that, she had it vetted by her manager to make sure it would hit well with her target demographic.

They had a reputation for buying better companies to own the IPs and gutting the teams before the late 2000s. It's sort of cathartic seeing that happen to them now, but not really because all the shitheels who made those decisions will probably be getting a nice payout while the actually workers will just get kicked to the curb.

They've never made good games. They sometimes allowed one of their devs to make a good game when they weren't looking, but no one is perfect.

Death cult. You can't infinitely extract value from a finite system.

How American.

Tiktok was China's soft propaganda because they suppressed unfavorable content rather then promote favorable content. Trump going full MAGA with it would kill the platform because people use tiktok to stop thinking about distressing things. Not be exposed to more of it.

It is, but overpopulation means the dregs fight each other. Under population or declining birth rates means the populace has more power. The elites can't have that.

That was the whole point. Powerful people were worried that Epstein would talk, so he was suicided.

14 Signs of Fascism:

1. The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
2. The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” 3.The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
3. Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
4. Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
5. Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
6. The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
7. The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
8. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
9. Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
10. Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
11. Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
12. Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
13. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

So what was Mein Kampf then?

If they make you change the swastikas, get an off color white and make them into "windows".

That could have been the 90's if your school was under funded.

They also could have just grabbed any graph off of google images and relabeled it. That was a apparently a popular shortcut in corporations when someone had to present to their bosses.

Still not going to work. You'll want an acid like LCR to do the job, but you also aren't going to see any real gain from a sink faucet. I've done it to shower heads, but those have much smaller passages and it had to be over night.
