I think Mickey just serves as a stand-in for Disney in general

The answer to questions like these is always money.

That’s just the most popular ones frankly. There are exceptions, but the popular anime tend to follow tropes more closely than the less popular ones.

Anime is more of a medium than a genre, though there are certainly tropes that you’ll find in the vast majority of shows like over-acted dialogue and facial expressions, over-explaining, slow pace, etc.

I’m in the middle of the mage exam arc and right now I’m severely disappointed with it. I know people tend to say this arc is the worst in the series, but it’s really starting to wear on me. Hoping it gets better.

Gotta be the first half of Death Note, before that one guy dies, trying not to spoil it lol but if you know you know

I felt like it was this at first, but eventually it becomes more of your standard Shounen “which guy is strongest? Find out next week” sort of affair. All the side characters and filler really distracted from the point of the show for me. More than just providing context and justification for the main plot, it took away from it IMO.

The energy tonic one is best imo. Made with tea and pear juice plus some other stuff.

The biggest news here is that semiconductor production is amping up in the states, which is good for national security and reduces reliance on Taiwan.

Yeah, and you can install extensions even if they’re not on Mozilla’s addon store.

They can either lose the Russian market entirely or capitulate to this demand, I think it’s pretty obvious what they’re going to choose. Mozilla may be an NPO but it still needs revenue to survive.

I know this is an older article, but EAC has had compatibility with Linux for years at this point. Linux is also really easy to compile and develop for compared to MacOS. They just don’t want to because there aren’t enough players to justify the cost, most likely. Also might have some incentive to keep their game off the hardware of their biggest competitor.

Calling into United:

Hey I see you charged me $400 for a replacement screen? Tell me, where did you buy the targeted ad data you used to display ads on that screen? Oh, an agency that I signed terms and conditions for at some point? Shit, alright then.

I mean, fuck United tho and they will not be getting and damn money from me.

Hyper-authoritarian leftist, usually hard-line CCP supporter.

Poe’s law tells me this is a real comment from a real tankie

inb4 tankies say that China is super based for doing this somehow

1. New thing goes against capitalist interests
2. Propaganda machine manufactures consent via anti-thing news coverage
3. This works on people who are generally aligned with internalized capitalist assumptions (ex. climate regulation is worse for humanity than allowing market forces to act unimpeded)
4. People (conservatives) are now generally against thing and will block progress out of fear, even (and especially) if they don’t really understand it on a meaningful level
5. Status-quo is maintained through perpetuation of internalized capitalist assumptions and self-censorship by those aligned with market forces
6. Profit (for billionaires)

You aren’t addressing that I said noise pollution is bad for everyone and should not be legal because you know I am objectively right about it lol. “That’s just the way it is!” Except it isn’t because laws exist.

Most people like exciting sounds.

No. The overwhelming majority of people hate loud exhausts. Here’s a poll from the first result I found on Google.

You also just ignored almost everything I said about health-related shit, so clearly you don’t care which lines up with the psychopathy shit from the article lmaoooo

Noise pollution is an objectively bad thing for everyone. It should not be legal to massively contribute to it in dense areas.

Take your eardrums somewhere quiet. Nobody is making your life decisions.

-Man who is predicted to have higher scores on psychopathy and sadism

Noise pollution causes, among other things:

• Hearing Loss
• Cardiovascular Issues
• Sleep Disturbances
• Mental Health Problems
• Other Health Issues
• Wildlife Disruption
• Reduced Quality of Life because it makes being outside hard to enjoy

How about we reduce it by making these exhausts illegal, for public health, instead of allowing assholes to dictate everything about society and poison our minds and bodies? This is like saying “why prevent someone from dumping garbage into local waterways for fun, just move somewhere with less pollution”.
