True, we have really outdone ourselves.

Ok, but thats just not a realistic capitalist evil plot.

They would sell you the DVD and then make you pay a monthly fee.

Im pirating that DVD and imma gonna get trapped in VR on someones Raspberry Pi sever.

I agree with that point.

And I agree with the harm it can cause.

Next someone will do a series called ‘The Duke Boys’, w/o comics, just live action. The Southlander will be the celebrated hero that can do no wrong. And the cultural shift might start going in that direction.

Yet I don’t see a better way out of that, to drive humanity/culture forward. You need people to evolve, and you can’t really do that without education.

Having racists brainwashed into not begin racists isn’t a permanent fix, or perhaps even a bad long-term fix.
(But it does make the lives of so many minorities better for a time, which is huge, those are actual lives being lived.)

Pretending that racism either doesn’t exist or having propaganda against racism just reduces the issue into a simplistic yes/no contest.

And social issues should not be treated as sports.

Oh, yes, kinda.
IASP has (imho) a positive comment on issues, highlighting them, in the ‘let’s benefit society with this work’ kind of way.
Drawn Together doesn’t attempt to make a better world with it’s impact.

Ofc (and by definition) one is better than the other.
But I don’t think any bad thing should ever be a taboo.
If someone wants a racists in their work (it doesn’t even need to be a comedy), that’s fine, they were and are people like that. Its not arts job to tell/educate you about how bad things are bad (tho it doesn’t hurt), as long as it doesn’t hype them as absolutely good (ie propaganda-ish/as a commercial).

But let’s bring Hitler into the convo, that’s always fun - I do think its really bad how Adolfy (and Nazi Germany) became a sort of one dimensional meme in modern culture/knowledge, overly simplifying such a thing is bad af, those were people doing people things & we need to have a basic understanding of that.

Mr Ham being racists is still good for the knowledge how that is a person/character, how that sounds out loud, how that sounds a bit like your neighbour/politician/company/laws/traditions/etc.

So, Drawn Together imho still highlights issues by putting them into your thoughts, but it does not do a PSA about it (nothing actually bad happens to any of them as a ‘moral story to learn from’, even the moral stories there are an intentional joke, and consequences for other people aren’t much more that a sidenote). Not that IASIP does a lot of that, but consequences are a bit more obvious (but not life-changing for the main chars).

The bulb (with aluminium heatsink) is 11×40×23 cm overall and 200W (1165cd/cm²), with monitoring and sync options.

Bcs it’s a neat design:

But perhaps to note - bulbs like that are only if you want to keep those giant rotating fresnel lenses (and even with that those LEDs on that bulb still need a lens on their own).

The simpler solution is to use one of the new designs, without the old lenses or even without the whole old lighthouse structure, eg:

My fly is just realistic, can’t judge it for that.

Its all pain and suffering, and feasting on a pile of shit as a highlight of it all.

Yeah, they (the showrunners) used incredibly bad stuff to produce humour (well).

And I’ve heard that ‘the show didn’t age well’ but (iirc) the show absolutely at all times (with no doubt at all) portrayed all those characters as horrible.

At no point was shaming-vagina tentacles presented as the morally right thing. If the jokes they did with that arent funny to you, sure, that’s legit, but if they were funny to you but aren’t anymore “bcs the times changed” that just means that you were wrong back then & now grown up, and you prob liked the shaming, not the jokes.
Its like anti-lgbt stuff in recent history - it’s not that 100 years ago being a bigot was any less horrible than now, the only difference is that now it might ‘inconvenience you’.

Its like people saying that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia characters “might be bad” … you fucked up if you idolise them just because they are main characters, if you can’t comprehend how bad they are (even tho they make it extremely obvious at all times) and how bad the lives of everyone around them make. Its like the whole point of a setup like that. None of them are anti- or edgy- heroes, they just suck.

I don’t think Drawn Together was like Family Guys Quagmires rapey jokes & deeds (that was his whole character for most of the shows run) that were always presented as “cool” & macho - that didn’t “age badly”, it was bad & horrible all along.

And mass murderers with superpowers (Drawn Together, not The Boys) that indiscriminately and selfishly hurt absolutely everyone … well, racism of those chars prob isn’t the core issue or propaganda.

And racism, shaming, etc, they exist. That’s just a fact. And you can make fun of anything.

Its what Louis-Dreyfus is saying with ‘“woke” culture isn’t killing or limiting comedy’, it doesn’t (the context of that is that Seinfeld is bitching how anti-sexism is limiting (his) comedy, lul).

Its not a complicated function. And he is an engineer, he had plenty of maths in uni.

Every time Bundai Namco flashbangs you someone at the office has to throw party. They are just s victim of their own success.

And second of all, this def isn’t Canada, I’ve never even been too Canada.

And second second of all, isn’t X3 a low~mid tier car in Canada?

Oh, very credible defence!!

I want all of them to live together in one big house, reality TV style!!

… it appears there are mockups:

This legit happened to a college of mine, at his first job (as engineer), it took me well into his second year of employment (the time when he got the second yearly income tax stats) to get him to understand what I’ve been explaining to him since he was offered a raise a few months after he started.

I tried, I really did, with charts, examples, my own income tax statement, … but no.

I never found out which part was bothering him, like theoretically, how tf …

Allowing multiple planets to be miserable with humans.

allowed

Yeah, wtf, what did Linux ever do to the great furry community sys admins?

Our group is still fully on Windows all the things (except like two virtual servers), desktops all run W10.

I will again plead in this years strategy to not upgrade to W11, if for nothing else ‘moral reasons’.
I’ll be the only one tho.

Yeah, task switching in general kinda works for me sometimes, it makes no difference to me how (un)desired the task is. Even tasks I enjoy are hard for me.

Yeah, this explanation makes the most sense to me.

Just a generalisation that “good at computers” is a programmer. So no Apple programmers :P (joking ofc)

Yes, a power tinkerer!

And if something needs to be programmed (or just coded, bcs copypasta), then that’s what’s gonna happen.

If IT won’t accommodate my ticket in the way I want Im just gonna write another ticket for access rights.

Well, … no.

Yes, this is regularly seen throughout Europe for years.

You can buy such tags in bulk from China, they are very cheap at any scale really (and their use isn’t limited to just pricing).

But yes, I think some EU countries already have laws preventing price changes throughout the day or (to some extend) price differences between eg countryside and cities.
I think there should be an EU directive for this tho.
