Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

The point is that their license is effectively considered to be expired. Kansas is asking them to turn the old one in for a new one. Nothing's going to happen if they don't, but then they're just holding onto a worthless piece of plastic they can no longer use.

I love funsubs so much!

I'm just saying that the original is always better than dub.

To say that as if it's universal is exactly what I'm trying to say is wrong. Especially if your justification is "it's not 1:1 so it's bad" - SungWon Cho, who IMO is one of the most talented English VAs out there, has a response to that that's way better than I can ever put it.

In 2002 when Naruto first aired? Yeah, a lot of dubs were pretty bad back then, they cut a lot of corners and didn't always hire the best talent. But today, voice acting is taken so much more seriously now, and there is a lot of equally fantastic talent in the west. Hell, there are some shows I've watched just because a VA I like is in them.

I feel like this kind of elitism towards dubs comes from people who grew up in that era when dubs sucked, but haven't noticed that times have changed since then.

I've seen this in licensed titles too. Bocchi the Rock had several pages of notes at the end of each volume explaining references that went way over my head.

Almost anything you can name, I've probably played it.

If I had to pick just one, I think Petal Crash is the best thing that's happened to the genre in over a decade. ~~Maybe even the only good thing that's happened to the genre in over a decade...~~

The Junior Developer Is Going Extinct

I've tried applying to internships too, but nearly every internship position I see says they are explicitly looking for current students or graduates within the past year. I think my degree is too old to get in now.

Every position that claims to be entry level inevitably sends me back an email that says "We received many qualified applicants and have decided to move ahead with another candidate whose work experience is a closer match for this particular role."

My bachelor's degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on anymore. Experience is all that matters, but I can't get experience because I don't have experience.

No, I never mentioned a thing about gold. That's not what my argument was. Did you even read my post, or did you just see the word 'blockchain' and go to copypaste some prewritten talking point?

The metaverse had a billion dollars pumped into it, and yet for all they money they spent they have literally no users to show for it. Likewise for NFTs, a few idiots got suckered into paying for monkey JPGs and are now left holding a bag that no one wants.

The blockchain has a small cult trading money back and forth to make it look bigger than it really is. But it's never achieved any kind of mainstream adoption as the currency true believers keep insisting it will be. And it never will, because it's way too inefficient to ever scale.

If you think any of these are massively successful, I question what reality you are living in.

I feel like you just autopiloted into random cryptobro talking points that have nothing to do with the conversation. I don't care if you like crypto, the reality is that rest of the world has already rejected it and moved on.

Figured I'd summon at least one person trying to defend crypto. Just because the US has issues doesn't suddenly mean crypto is good.

Bitcoin has been around for almost two decades now, and still has not achieved anything beyond being a means for speculators to try and fleece each other. If it hasn't reached widespread mainstream adoption by now, it never will.

Crypto is a failed technology, full stop.

I honestly don’t know where this hatred for AI comes from

Did you try reading the comment you just replied to?

Any other technology? How about 3D TVs, smart glasses, blockchain, NFTs, the Metaverse?

‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

Jump

missingno @fedia.io 7d ago

Gamergate never ended, and the lack of moderation on Steam has made it a very attractive place for fascists to spread propaganda. It's been a serious problem for a very long time and Valve just isn't doing anything about it.

If you respond to tell me that you were never gonna buy it, you prove my point.

It's just kind of tiring how every post about anything Nintendo does ever has the exactly same whining every time, especially when you're not actually whining about FRLG here at all, you're just whining to whine. You just want something to be mad at.
