  • Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up?

    Jump

  • Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.

  • I'm two days old in piracy (torrent) world

    Jump

  • I'll throw Private Internet Access in there for a known one with port forwarding. I know the general attitude towards PIA has soured since the buyout but there still has yet to be a reason to believe it's not a good service and they've continued to add bells and whistles over time while still being one of the cheapest VPNs out there.

  • Does that make it piracy²?

  • Warner Bros Joins Disney In Suing Sling TV For Making Streaming Video Cheaper And More Convenient

    Jump

  • I know what it's about. Best part is that at an entry fee of $5, Sling aren't even undercutting the market enough to allow an anti-competition lawsuit against them. So long as Sling can afford the lawyer fees, a dismissal and reversal should be a cake walk.

  • Warner Bros Joins Disney In Suing Sling TV For Making Streaming Video Cheaper And More Convenient

    Jump

  • They're suing over the creation of competition in the market? Certainly an interesting strategy. I hope WB, Disney, and every other scum-sucker that thinks suing is acceptable gets raked across the coals.

  • Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat?

    Jump

  • You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it's not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.

  • Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat?

    Jump

  • Undercooked, not uncooked. The parasite is still active even in rare meat. It needs to be done to medium before it's truly safe (grey all the way through and easily slips off the fork when inserted).

  • Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat?

    Jump

  • Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.

  • what is a word like yaoi or yuri, but for boy x girl?

    Jump

  • Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance? Yaoi and yuri are special labels specifically because they're "out of the norm"

  • Does more expensive phones have better reception?

    Jump

  • No. Price has almost very little to do with reception and more to do with the general finish of the product. It used to mean more features too but there's a rather pronounced bell curve on that aspect these days. If you've got a specific device in mind, GSMArena should be able to give you all the information you need.

  • How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth

    Jump

  • Something similar to the spray they use on animals after a surgery? It's safe for consumption but it tastes god-awful to stop the animal licking the wound.

  • So it was you who fucked with February!

  • erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes?

  • While you're wearing essentially a balloon or a strip of carpet and nothing else

    What's the name of the type of man I'm attracted to? (pictured)

    Jump

  • A turd by any other name...

  • How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

    Jump

  • Graphene? Meaning the OS where you have to have a specific range of devices that aren't even very good for the sort of people who'd want an OS like that? I'd most likely be on Graphene already if it wasn't for that annoying as hell limitation.

  • If you're smart enough to know about MAS, I hope you're smart enough to have not "upgraded" to 11

  • What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?

    Jump

  • This is where I can only speak broadly since every country (and state/province) has it's own laws but from a legal standpoint, minors need parental consent to do a great many things. Dating in the broad term such as a young couple going to see a movie with each other would likely be seen as an innocuous activity and not worth a court's time. Where laws get involved are when it comes to physical intimacy and they can be loose or draconian. Just in the US alone, there are laws that dictate minors of the same age are able to do as they please, some have the "Romeo & Juliet law" otherwise known as the close-in-age law, and others deem physical intimacy between minors as strictly illegal meaning if 2 minors of the same age had sex, they'd both be committing sexual assault against a minor. To put the power of parental consent into perspective though, in the UK it was possible for a couple wherein one or more of the two were 16 or 17 were legally able to marry with parental consent. This was true until as recently as 2023 due to child abuse issues but that's incredibly recent for such a thing.

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • I'd argue it's worth knowing what you risk losing from your device in the name of sideloading software so it's not irrelevant to point out your phone might not be a phone by the end of the procedure.
