Not true, but nearly half of them did

All of whom thrive on stuff like man vs bear discourse

This is definitely fake, but it’s tremendously funny so I choose to believe it’s real

A lot of those are already on my list, so I’ll make sure they make it onto my screen this year

I forgot to talk about the many other shows I’ve watched in the last year! Unfortunately I didn’t grow up watching anime so I don’t have the nostalgia for it that most 90’s kids do, but the turn of the century is my favorite era of the medium. I’ve seen a lot from around then in the last year: Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf’s Rain, Ghost in the Shell, NieA_7, Serial Experiments Lain, Key the Metal Idol, Ergo Proxy, Read or Die

I really missed out on this stuff when I was a kid. Ghost In The Shell (the films and Standalone complex) would have been a formative experience for me as a teen

The cost of getting the goods to consumers goes up. Does the consumer pay:

A) More

B) Less

C) The same

This election was decided by the majority of people in this country not being able to answer this very simple question

Edit: oh shit I didn’t even notice it was you lmao I see you’re still roleplaying The Person With The Worst Takes

I wasn’t kidding about the one year thing, I’m back! All of these shows were great. You weren’t kidding about Bubblegum Crisis, I can’t believe I put off watching it for so long, it was rad as hell. Noir was my favorite of these suggestions, literally the only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is the distracting lack of any blood. Bakumatsu was super interesting—it’s cool seeing a show where half of the characters have Wikipedia pages. There’s a certain kind of person who both has a deep interest in the Boshin War and likes historical fantasy, for whom Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto is the best show ever made. I can’t bring myself to say that Eat-Man was good, but the concept is interesting, and I absolutely adore Bolt Crank as a character. '98 definitely improved on '97, but I’m fond of both series

I haven’t watched everything in your other comment yet, but I did watch Megalo Box, and it’s one of my favorite shows now—makes it to almost every list of recommendations because of the differences between the first and second seasons. It’s crazy how quickly it goes from shounen to seinen.

If only he wasn’t a fucking coward

Hope you’re not American, because if you are then it’s gonna be really hard to block out the consequences of this election

I don’t care about wokeness, the game looks like plastic garbage and they genericized the combat

I don’t think I’m wrong at all to suggest that they have different philosophies when it comes to launching rockets. The reason behind that is worth talking about, but the fact remains that they have different philosophies. Personally, I would love for NASA to get funding exceeding SpaceX’s funds. We could certainly afford it. But no matter how much funding they get, Joe Public will get pissed about wasted tax dollars if NASA starts blowing up rockets. SpaceX, while partially publicly funded, is ostensibly a private company, which allows them some leeway in the eyes of the public when it comes to blowing up rockets.

SpaceX mishaps so far have not killed people. Will you still be giving them leeway when they do?

What kind of leeway do you think I’m giving SpaceX? What kind of leeway do you think I’m not giving NASA? Consider the fact that I’m morally consistent. Do you think you can answer your question yourself?

And then the concept of “and then” ceases have meaning, when the ratio between the time when there are things and the time when there are no things approaches 0

The darkest thing is the universe, in about 10^10¹²⁰ years (or seconds, or stellar lifespans, it’s all the same at this time scale), after every star has died, every black hole dissipated, and every material object quantum tunneled out of existence, when energy is as dispersed as it can possibly be

I do think there’s a significant difference in approach. NASA has a focus on doing it once and doing it right, SpaceX has a focus on doing it as many times as physically possible and learning a tremendous amount from the many, many failures. Be honest, did anyone genuinely believe that rocket would be successfully captured on the first attempt?

If it had blown up, oh well. That’s SpaceX’s whole thing. If a NASA rocket blows up, it’s a big fucking deal, and suddenly we don’t show shuttle launches in schools anymore

The lamp story was over a decade ago, this greentext was well after it

But also it’s not an incredibly uncommon dream. I’ve had the same kind of dream before, though not nearly as emotionally affected as these guys

Elon Musk is an apartheid nepobaby fascist, but Gwynne Shotwell, and to a much greater extent the engineers actually doing the damn thing, seem to have their heads on straight

Mechazilla is objectively rad as fuck

She’s rolling in ze hay in heaven :'(

My biggest problem with the podcasts I once loved. I fully stopped listening to anything for like 6 months in 2020, so now I have four years of backlog, and the part where I left off was right around The Worst Time Of Our Lives…

The only podcast I try to keep up with these days is Hey Riddle Riddle, and even then I tend to be like 6 months behind

Source for my claim

I should have said half of the Americans reading my comment rather than half of the people reading it, though if we include all people who speak English as a first language, the statistics don’t change much—Americans make up more than 60% of all native English speakers, so at the absolute least, 3/10 of the native English speakers reading my comment are below an 8th grade level (assuming there’s no correlation with Lemmy users having higher than average literacy, which I’m sure Lemmy users would like to believe, but we shouldn’t make this assumption without data to back it up)
