I mean like look if you’re 19 and she’s 17 then neither of you really has your mango together, so who cares, right? But RageNineteen was 28 years old and dating a 16 year old who he’d met when she was 15 while dating her friend who was also 15, and that’s just supposedly normal in the YouTube world?? The hell’s going on????

man is not sleeping with minors really that difficult? I always found it very easy to not do that. It’s very very easy to not do that.

@zeldatra I mean if you're one of those older seniors in high school, maybe, but that's only for a slim window of time and anyway I was 17 at graduation

@scribus talking about specifically YouTube stuff. One of the new Eddsworld showrunners just got outed as a serial groomer/abuser and it’s frustrating the hell out of me that there seems to be a new one of these every week.

@scribus To answer the question I just got via email, the server is a basic digitalocean droplet. The $20 one. Depending on how much traffic you're expecting, you could easily run a couple of instances on there.

@ceruleanspark Groovy, thanks. I have a couple $5 ones for some blogs I wanna keep IP isolated, and was eyeballing a $10 for startup. Good to know.

@adiwan But how girl get prangnent now

Binged through the whole series of "My Name Is Earl". I can somewhat understand why they pulled the cord and cancelled the series at the end of season 4. While fun it was kind of repetitive or insane and thus alienating any new watchers. Also it got increasingly serialized despite of its episodic nature at the beginning.
Tuesday, 06-Apr-21 19:43:25 UTC from web-
@adiwan Officially, the cancelation happened because of financial issues over at NBC from the then-recent recession. They had been given the go-ahead to start writing for a fifth season, which is why the fourth one ends on a cliffhanger.
-
@zeldatra Sure. I have also read that. But when I look at the viewership numbers they were decreasing rapidly towards the end. I don't know what happened in April of 2009 but they might have spooked some people in the upper management in addition to the financial crisis. They could have at least resolve the cliffhanger and do a somewhat proper ending to the series.
-
@adiwan TV Tropes mentions an official "What if" ending, per the creator. I like knowing that, even if they didn't get to film it.

Anyway, I was digging through my older cartoons to pull out assets for a newer one, and oh man, teenage Matt organized projects like a troglodyte. Until 2016, every single one of my flash files existed in a single-level folder labeled “Flash”. Zero organization. There was a separate folder called “Audio” which itself was properly organized for some reason.
Monday, 05-Apr-21 20:45:18 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I'm trying to get the best drafts of my various writing projects together to move forward. I am not convinced that present-Me has managed "file organization" yet.

@scribus I’m just fed up with the new management. These guys are total pricks. One’s a delegatory blowhard who wants me to do most of his job, and the other one is a crazy apple who acts like a crackhead.

@zeldatra Wish I had better advice than "Try not to get caught screaming in the parking lot about how you'd applaud the news that the manager killed themself." Bad management is the worst, man.

really wish people would stop treating Hispanic people like we’re a monolith. Even people who think they mean well have a tendency to just group us all together like we’re all just from the same place and that itself is pretty racist.

@adiwan Lock Picking Lawyer had a groaningly base one, but his was at least brief and not overly tortured
-
@scribus LPL was one of the better ones. Yeah... the puns were groanworthy, but at least he has shown a nice set of locks, and thus in line with his regular content. The briefness is also welcome, although it's somewhat longer than the usual stuff.

@adiwan Yup. It was stupid but still enlightening, and over by the time I was done laughing at the joke. Nailed it, lol

I started binge-watching "My Name is Earl". Wholesome dumb stuff.

@adiwan It's a sweet show, I enjoyed the random episodes I caught.
-
@scribus I was also watching random episodes when it was running on TV but it didn't grab my attention enough to keep watching. Maybe it was a bad time slot or the German dub.
-
@adiwan My mom actually watched it regularly, so it would often be on when I was visiting and there was already a . . . "social" or "collective" disposition to it, I guess?

@scribus I’m always afraid I’ve done something to anger him, because on top of the fact that he’s like always glaring at me, one of the effects of his, uh, condition is that his fuse is shorter than the average bear’s. I always feel like he’s one misstep away from going apebanana on somebody

Buying a new car, even a cheaper new car, is still a huge thing to put money into. That huge purchase makes all the little things look insignificant. "4€ for a bread, it's nothing, doesn't cost as much a car."
Thursday, 25-Mar-21 08:42:25 UTC from web-
@scribus OK. That's an inflation problem. A new car costs now less than it did back then. A modern car has in addition a computer, entertainment system, navigation, explosives (air bags), automatic driving assistants (break, lane control, distance, parking). Although a house usually keeps its value or increases it over time.
-
@adiwan Yeah, it's a thing. The other week for me it was, $2100 for a new bed? Why not, that's only 1/26th what we paid for our Tesla. No but seriously, I still feel tremendously guilty and uncomfortable when I go to a restaurant.
-
@oracle Crom, I paid a grand for my bed and thought that was stiff, then again it is only for one...

I wouldn't be surprised if everything shown in the Rick & Morty trailer won't be in the new season. I think it's in the realm of possibility that this could be an elaborate act of trolling the audience by Harmon and Roiland.

@adiwan I would dig the heck out of that, and I haven't even watched since Pickle Rick, lol

So you know how they've got those nigh-pornographic art models with the poseable skeletons and all that jazz? Do they make them in non-human? Looking for a mouse or a rat... uh, also non-lewd. I don't need a sexy mouse. Not yet....
Saturday, 27-Mar-21 20:26:28 UTC from web-
@adiwan I dunno, lol. This is really probably just Perfectionism stepping on Productivity's toes. Mostly I just was looking for a reliable way to check if something I would write would be physically plausible. But I've already taken pages of notes on "The Secret of NIMH" and other cartoons and actual live animal footage, so I probably don't *need* anything at all.
-
@thelastgherkin Dude I've seen that before! And it is a good idea... um, in the context of trying to make an anatomical/biomechanical model. heh
-
@scribus I think it's cheaper to buy a real mouse and not bother trying to replicate the skeleton in order to see if a pose is even possible. Yeah... It'd bite back but still cheaper time-wise and financially. I don't think pet shops allow anybody willy-nilly to grab a mouse and contort it.

I hope one of Gavin Newsom’s recall challengers invokes California in his campaign line they’re doing in Texas and Arizona. “We’re gonna stop California from coming to California.”

State secessionist movements are really funny to me, a Virginian, for no particular reason...
Friday, 26-Mar-21 00:02:17 UTC from web-
@scribus the California split movement confuses the hell out of me, because you got Los Angeles/San Diego in the south, San Francisco/Sacramento in the north, and a loooootta Biden counties in between... you would need to create a really weirdly shaped state to change any kind of electoral momentum over there. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875860
-
@zeldatra my apologies: Sacramento is closer to the center of the state. So nowhere’s safe.
-
@zeldatra Yeah, I don't get it, either. I think it depends on the plan, too. Some call for North/South, others up to five (5). Mostly I just riff because I doubt it'll happen. :p

When I break it down I could buy about 3400 comics instead of a car.
Thursday, 25-Mar-21 15:51:56 UTC from web-
@adiwan OK *now* I'm conflicted, lol
-
@scribus I calculate a cost of a thing in comics for a longer time. Like: Do I buy a new crate with my favorite drink or buy 4 comics instead?
-
@adiwan I would usually translate it into hours based on whatever I was paid at the time. "This gameplay had better last longer than the work to buy it."

@zeldatra "Naming is the origin of all particular things."
-
-
so maybe a weird question, but is there a term for people who... kind of don't care about their gender identity? like, not gender neutral. i've always been comfortable being a man, and I still am, but as i get older my gender (and to a certain extent my sexual orientation, though my tastes are still pretty geared towards feminine-looking people - but not necessarily exclusively women) is something that matters to me less and less, to the point where, if I weren't so obviously male, i could see myself being pretty tolerant of just about any pronoun anyone wants to call me. gender agnostic?
Tuesday, 23-Mar-21 19:37:12 UTC from web-
@zeldatra We'll be lucky if there aren't already sixteen competing terms for it
-
@zeldatra there's always agender i guess, i know people who use that term with that kind of sentiment. i feel pretty similarly wrt myself but at the same time changing anything about my identity would just insinuate that i care about it more than i do

Playing Metal Gear Solid again... I bodyslammed Meryl while she was disguised because I recognized her walk cycle and I wanted to see what would happen. Nothing happens, she just sprints into her next cutscene to prevent you from impeding her any further. And then she still claims to have gotten the jump on you.

@scribus This is why I always enjoyed the mostly-unscripted nature of the later Fallouts & Elder Scrolls. New Vegas particularly introduces you to a major antagonist (or ally, if you choose to go that route...) fairly early on, while you’re on your way to a story quest, and you can just let him do his thing, or, if you have the firepower, you can just FrankerZin shoot him and he won’t appear again for the rest of the game. (And then you can shoot his replacement later, too!)
