Watched "Little Witch Academia". It's alright. The overarching plot however is weak and with a lot of wasted potential.

@nerthos the show that is on Netflix
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@adiwan Oh, yeah, the tv show. It is a bit loose in the overarching story department. The movies are more solid in that regard, but the events in them are somewhat ignored for the show.

special shoutouts to the woman who just called me ugly to her daughter in Spanish because she thought I couldn’t understand her. When I raised my eyebrow she turned to me and said “I was just telling my daughter you look like someone we know”. Okay, ma’am.

the whole experience did sort of underscore everything i believe about that sort of thing though, there was a guy with an AR-15 in the booth next to me and a guy with eight(!!!!!) magazines on his belt in the other booth, and it made me SUPREMELY uncomfortable

@mrmattimation That's about 250 rounds downrange assuming they're 30 round mags loaded to 28, it's not a lot for proper practice. Most people who take it seriously will do 200-300 once in a while. It doesn't cost too much if reloading the cases. Semi-auto rifles eat through ammo really fast so going to the range with only a mag or two means you'll run out of fun in minutes.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@nerthos Nah the guy with the mag belt wasn’t using a rifle, it was a handgun, and by my count each magazine had between 15 and 18 shots.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@mrmattimation Still normal amounts, this guy just put down the money to buy all the magazines instead of the usual two or three mags + a cardboard ammo box to reload. 1000 9mm rounds are like $150 over the counter, so the guy probably spent like 15 bucks in bullets if reloading.

@adiwan The high frame rate video debate is scheduled to be the next big generational tech gap, according to one headline I skimmed once online. "Gemini Man" will remain dumb, regardless.
Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
@scribus High frame rate video is one thing but another thing to interpolate frames of lower frame rate to a higher and smooth out "choppiness", especially with non-contiguous motion like in animation with few feature points in the picture. High frame rate video will be the norm some day. Right now the amount of data is mostly not feasible or the technology is not good enough to simulate. Current films are exported in 2k because all of the rendering time and visual effects. Also visual flaws get more obvious with a higher temporal resolutions. I heard that "acting" is more apparent at higher frame rates, meaning that the acted motions and emotions are perceived as not genuine.

@adiwan I can vouch for the last bit, a perfect example is the marvel cape movies. They look just fine on tv or a cinema screen, but look at scenes in >1080 60fps on a high DPI cellphone screen and the actors look awkward, movement looks cartoony and poorly acted, you can notice the weird physics from cable pulls and all that.

My own personal Mandela Effect is that I thought the N64 was code-named Dolphin, and the Triforce were color-coded RGB. (That was the grapepost I was after, thanks for waiting)

@scribus If this isn't some gag I'm missing, both Triforces were colour-coded green and red in the Zelda cartoon, with all three being RGB by the time of Captain N.

@tiff @scribus thanks, admittedly I don’t 100% know what’s going to happen, it’s a friend I know through work and I found out about it through an announcement that was made to the management team about it. I don’t know how serious it is, if it’s treatable, etc. etc. Maybe I’m overreacting. Maybe this ends up being nothing after a round of chemo and a surgery. I hope that’s the case but I know almost nothing about it and I’m supposed to be pretend everything’s normal.

@mrmattimation i don't think there's any one (or really any at all) appropriate emotional response to something like that. even if the odds are favourable it puts the transience of those you care about into harrowing perspective

also i'm pretty sure if you're diabetic you can still eat junk food if you take the appropriate amount of insulin?? like it's a good idea in general to not eat too much

@tiff ......... technically, this is true. Only to an extent though, obviously. In healthy individuals, the more insulin in the blood, the less bio reactive it is. In individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance, this happens sooner.

@drinkingpony Beautiful, hypocritical assumption. I'm not calling for death to TERFS or Torries. And you have been far too antagonistic to be "just askin'." And feel free to quote scripture, I use it myself. It's a better reference than Dewey! http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875386

@scribus "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?"
Oh I tell you why. While not calling for the death of groups you do not agree with directly you certainly do not seem to be too keen on calling it out either.
In your other post you talk about those you deem worthy of execution. Worthy ? ... WORTHY ! Face it. You became just as bad as the people you deem worthy of disrespect or worse. May that mark upon your skin be forever be a reminder of the person you became you swore you did not want to be.
Everyone who thinks I am an asshole should realize something. Do it ! I will happily martyr myself in your memories and off of this platform. The next time something bad happens or the 'wrong' person gets elected I want you all to blame me. Scribus can quote Romans 2:1 and you can all rest assured that everyone is safe as you did the right thing by closing yourself off from answering questions and using shaming tactics to establish dominance and promote group-think.Jonathan Chouinard likes this. -
