I watched it for the first time last year without knowing anything about it and, as someone who loves to nerd out about anything linguistics related (am translator, for context), I cannot describe how gleeful I was that such subjects had center focus in a big blockbuster like that. Obviously the other aspects of the movie were amazing as well and the story got me very emotional by the end, but I will never shut up about how interesting and important that translation/communication aspect of the movie was.

You actually tricked yourself into believing this isn't all about shutting down competition to American companies or stopping people's (especially young people's) power to disseminate even remotely left leaning views that could gain traction and threaten the oligarchs.

I mean even the politicians who back this bill state as much, so I'm not sure why you think this is about national defense. American citizens are just under as much threat as before, but now they have one less way to express themselves. Ain't that great. /s

As a European myself, never mention the Romani people to anyone here unless you want to hear the most degenerate, racist diatribe you can conjure up in your mind. (half hyperbole half not)

Ok, let me just cut off my entire family and friend circle out of my life just to stick it to some corpo that doesn't even care about me. I sure showed 'em!

It is wild to me that in the US you're not automatically registered to vote. The idea that you have to go through a manual process to exert one of your most basic constitutional rights is unfathomable to me.

Here when you turn 18 you can just vote. It's that simple. No registration, no ticking a checkbox somewhere, you can simply go out there and vote the moment you're 18.

WinDirStat works but is super slow though. WizTree is a much better modern equivalent.

Yes, I'm sure the reason we don't grow is because we refuse to federate with nazi and pedo content. Oh what will the fediverse do without these folks.

This isn't really a good idea because then you're putting all your eggs in one basket. The whole point of 2FA is that the second factor is in a separate location so if your first factor (password) gets compromised the second one (OTP code) still protects your account. If both factors are in one place you're back to a single point of failure instead of 2, losing a key benefit of 2FA.

If you're gonna do this, at the very least have 2FA with a security key on your bitwarden vault.

Him being gay is actually very relevant because he was profiting off of queer authors' works without attribution while proporting to support their cause. His whole shtick was being gay and analyising media through a gay/lgbtq+ lens. The title highlights the hypocrisy.

Also this is an lgbtq+ focused publication so such a classification isn't unusual.

Still fits in a 1 TB sd card... Barely!

Because Digimon was a tamagochi clone first and everything else second. There was never a Digimon game formula or a Digimon card game formula or a Digimon anime formula. They just made random media to sell toys without any care for consistency. That lack of consistency made it have less general appeal.

Even today it's hard to introduce people to Digimon because there really is no right starting point, it's all different media and how much you like each one depends on your personal tastes.

Pokémon had it all consistent from day one. The tcg, the games, the anime, it's basically all the same even today. You can introduce someone to Pokémon with any media because it's all so consistently transversal.
