I wonder how Plato would have defined man if he knew kangaroos existed.

I really hope it does the manga justice. It would be a tragedy if people ended up dismissing this series because of a subpar anime adaptation.

I don’t know. Perhaps it was at first, but I’ve been hearing Cameron talking about Avatar 5 for a long time.

Yes, it exists and it’s getting a sequel in December. You’ll have to wait until 2029 for Avatar 4 though.

If you think you can stop deforestation in the Amazon by not buying soybeans I have bad news for you. Not only because soybeans are grown everywhere in Brazil but also because there are multiple other reasons why deforestation happens, like illegal logging, mining and cattle raising.

Oh, I assumed that the rapture would work in a different way than regular death for some reason so maybe true believers could still go to heaven even if they’re sinners. If it’s all the same then yeah, I have no idea what their logic is either.

It makes sense if they think they’re going to hell, but that would require having a level of self-awareness I don’t believe anyone trying to actively cause the end of times can possess.

Is someone keeping track of everything they’re trying to erase from history? I really hope it’s all been archived somewhere so it can be put back into the records after these nuts are no longer in power.

The word “Debian” was formed as portmanteau of the first names of himself and his then-girlfriend (later ex-wife) Debra Lynn

Hmmm

There should be a way to see the content from different communities with the same name but from different instances in the same page, like some sort of automatic multireddit. The content would probably be limited to instances federated with your home instance but even then it’s something I would like to have.

Not thinking?

Believe it or not, also jail.

Here’s the quote, for those like me who had never heard of it:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

–Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

Came here to say the same. Solid black is the best wallpaper.

This is actually the first time I find myself interested in this series in a long time. Sengoku period Japan feels like a great setting for an Assassin’s Creed game and the fact that bigots hate it is just the cherry on top.

It’s a shame kbin.social is no more. I guess Fedia.io is as big as it gets now.

Now that’s just comically evil. Who designed this system, Spez?
