Sovcit did.. whatever, this is.
  • It's something about the US government being a private corporation and the "real" America being some kind of anarchic state with laws that the gov corp needs to follow despite there not actually being a "true" federal government to enforce them. The gold fringe flag is something about hanging one in a court room makes or means it's a naval military court and therefor has no jurisdiction over anyone not in the navy.

  • Myth rule
  • The original ending, End of Evangelion, or Rebuild?

  • Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission
  • That's actually shopped. The game's writer said he wishes he wrote that line, though.

  • Bitch shape attack
  • Mitochondria, for sure. They even still have their own DNA separate from your actual human DNA.

  • 8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility
  • Is there a symmetrical version, like a PS controller, or just the Xbox-like layout?

  • Its a possibility
  • There's a documentary series about this titled Assassin's Creed.

  • Jesus saves rule
  • Many also experience dysphoria specifically about their genitals, so it’s likely about more than just social gender constructs (probably also depends on the individual though), with at least some contributing factors already decided at birth.

    I mean, ultimately everything that goes on in your mind has a neurological component of some sort. I suspect with this, for example, the brain is structured to run body template A, but is piloting body template B and is basically throwing an error. I see no reason not to change the body to match the brain, especially since modifying the brain quickly heads into major ethical concerns and philosophical weirdness. I mean, ultimately the brain is you and the body is just a meat mech.

  • 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN
  • They had all that free marketting from people assuming the third one would be the 720 and they ditched it in favor of calling it the Xbox One, which everyone was already using for the name of the first Xbox. Still baffled by that one.

  • What's a poorly received movie that you liked?
  • Haven't watched the movie, but I do know the romance plot was lifted from the manga.

  • Funeral home owner who stashed nearly 190 decaying bodies sentenced to 20 years in prison
  • This is just for fraud. The corpse abuse sentencing is in August.

  • Funeral home owner who stashed nearly 190 decaying bodies sentenced to 20 years in prison
  • It's the maximum possible sentence. The court can't do more. Also, this is just the sentence for COVID aid fraud. Sentencing for the corpse abuse charges is scheduled for August.

  • Campaign of Chaos
  • Good fit for Dungeon World.

  • What is the strangest math that turned out to be useful?
  • Quake, not Doom. Doom didn't use true 3D rendering and had almost no dynamic lighting.

  • They have a point. Mostly like several. Repeatedly being stuck into their chest and tearing bits out of them.
  • What are the odds of this comment being a deliberate As Told By Ginger reference?

  • What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)
  • spoiler

    Violet starts a romantic relationship with, and is implied to eventually marry, Gilbert, her former commanding officer in the military who was also her father figure, Violet having been a war orphan that Gilbert took in when she was 10. Violet was a child soldier from the ages of 10 to 14, at which time the war ended. Gilbert had faked his death at the end of the war because he had developed romantic feelings for Violet. Gilbert is 11 years older than her. By the time of the movie, Violet is 18 and Gilbert is 29, but he was in love with her when he was 25 and she was 14, and probably before that. This is portrayed as a romantic and happy ending.

    It also goes against the show's themes and messages about grief and moving on, but the above thing tends to overshadow that.

  • What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)
  • Violet Evergarden is an incredible show about grief. But wow, is the movie sketchy as all hell.

  • Death Note
  • Anything you make them do also has to be something they might plausibly do on their own, or it just hits them with a heart attack. You also can't make them kill someone else, though I think you might be able to fudge that by writing that person A will be shot by person B, and then that person B will shoot person A. I could be misremembering, but I think that trick was used at one point.

  • Donald Trump Nobel Peace Prize nomination withdrawn
  • Any man who must say, "I am the king" is no true king.

  • I... okay then
  • Soda is worth almost nothing; it's basically pure profit.

  • Akira Inspired Poster, Revised Again

    After having printed the previous version of my poster and discovering that the overall darkness made it difficult to see when framed (light reflects off the glass or plastic and the glare kills it) I have done a bunch of post processing in the hopes that it will turn out better.
