Have you never watched cartoons as a kid?
Sure did but anime has a very significant adult following as well and quite clearly targets older audiences too with visible blood, adult themes, sexual stuff and so on. Obviously you can't put them all in the same category but cartoons like SpongeBob are obviously not meant for the same audience as many animes.

Step 1:
I don't know who came up with this or thought it was in any way funny, entertaining or anything other than just horribly unnerving, but this needs to go. The crazy faces / reactions / small bodies / movements when a character gets upset. Don't know if it has an official name or whatever but this ain't it.
It's cheap to make
Yeah, I figured it was just about costs.
Yes. Half of the time anime isn't an original work, but an adaptation of something else, in which case anime serves as an advertisement to the source material and usually you don't put much money into advert. Also, most of japanese writers/developers didn't aim toward audience outside of Japan until recently.
Yeah, makes sense.

Yo Flee, I dare you to try to make it through all of Gundam Seed with your brain cells intact.

Miyazaki/Ghibli don’t make those faces though.
Also, watch Eva.
Evangelion?
Yes
Hmm, maybe. The robots look pretty lame compared to the Gundam ones though. Too skinny and arms too long, 3/10 design. There's like a million Evangelions though. Where do I start?

Step 3:
Cut it with the repeats. I watched like 20 episodes of Naruto and half of each episode is replaying footage from the episode before or even from the same episode. Not even like in a quick 10 second recap at the start, but throughout the entire episode.
Like most people, I happen to have a functioning memory and don't need to see the exact same segment 5 times to know what's happening. Stop this, animes.

Step 2:
Can't find a picture because I wouldn't know what to look for, but it's the thing where there's always some ridiculously huge and tiny characters in the cast. Like the main guy will be normal size and then there's one who doesn't even reach his waist and another who's 3 times bigger than him. Oh and the small one is also a talking blue thing or whatever for no real reason.
Don't do this, animes.

Don't watch kids shows and you won't see that.
Umm all anime is art, it's not like your simple minded kid cartoons, Baka.

Anime is never tolerable
You're of course correct, but I just have to try make it less gut wrenching.

I will watch anime and report back on how to actually make it a tolerable viewing experience. Someone get Miyazaki on the phone because this will be a learning experience for him.

I should do a thread where I review anime and tell the animes how they can actually make their shows tolerable.
You tell them.

I'll be in London 3 times during weekends in September and October as Bethesda has hired me to cast some Quake tournaments. Can probably meet up if I love you and find the time. We meet at the big clock at 3 bongs.

Streamlabs offers that functionality by default I think. I don't have it on my stream but I think it's one of the options.

legit question for flee: how do i kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?
Shit, I don't know. Never had to deal or look into anything like that myself. I assume there might be some kind of wildlife control you can contact for support or advice. If not, trap them or shoot them. To clarify, I'm not at all against private gun ownership. Gun control doesn't mean a gun ban. It's a term that refers to the entirety of legislation and policy regulating different aspects of the manufacturing, sale, ownership, use and transfer of firearms. I'm simply in favor of stringent regulations because I think the available evidence and research shows that this is the right approach and that certain measures could have significant positive impacts in the US. I have absolutely nothing against the idea of someone like you going through the right checks and taking the right precautions so you can shoot feral hogs. I know they're a huge pest in some places and can be dangerous, especially to children, so I'd fully support you being able to get rid of them like that.

can we not make fun of shapino? he's just a little guy, he can't defend himself.
Hey now, that's not nice to say. Ben is perfectly capable of defending himself when he's allowed to talk over first year college kids and bait them into misunderstandings because they've never had any media training and don't have the slighest clue on how to debate or respond to him immediately taking control of the argument and dragging it to a point favorable to him. This information assymmetry is what most of these alternative media personalities heavily rely on. It's the same with Crowder's stuff where he challenges completely random people to a debate on a certain topic. He prepares extensively beforehand and picks only sources / arguments that favor his position so that he can pull out some statistic or study and shut them down instantly even if it's heavily disputed because the opposition simply doesn't know any better. - Random person: Stricter gun control would be good - Interviewer: "According to research and official government numbers, there's up to 3 million cases of people defending themselves and saving lives with guns every year while only 40,000 people die by guns - suicides included, so you'd be crazy to think gun control is good since CLEARLY they're used more often to defend" - Random person starts hesitating, doesn't know what to say, walks away LEFTIST OWNED WITH FACTS AND LOGIC In reality, the 3 million number is the highest estimate ever and dates back to a largely refuted phone survey by a notorious pro-gun and gun lobby funded researcher done 30 years ago that has been challenged by heaps of more recent research (ranging from the 60k to few hundred thousand range), some of which done by the Department of Justice itself putting the estimate at just 55,000 a year. Comparing it to gun deaths is a misleading point because not every case of a defensive gun use is a life saved (although that's the impression he wants to leave you with). Instead, when comparing it to actual criminal uses of firearms, there's around half a million cases of gun violence / gun crime each year according to DoJ statistics, which would put it 10 times higher than its estimate of defensive uses. And then there's also the dozens of high profile studies finding positive effects from a wide array of gun control measures. But of course, the average person has no clue about any this so an entirely valid position ("stricter gun control would help") is immediately countered by an argument that only looks at one single aspect of the debate, presents a very one-sided perspective with questionable and easily countered sources they suggest are authoritative and essentially "facts". In an online setting, that person could simply take 2 minutes to read the Wiki article on Defensive Gun Use and realize how misleading the interviewer's point is, but in a real-time conversation they're just shut down.

It would be making law abiding citizens more difficult to defend themselves from criminals.
Second amendment is not for self defense tho. Its intended use is to resist tyrannical governments.
That's why you can't infringe gun rights, like banning assault rifles for instance.
It would also make it more difficult from non-law abiding citizens to get guns which are by far the best tool to commit crimes with. And the AWB has been challenged and upheld as constitutional numerous times, although it's unclear how that would go now after Heller.

Did you know that CRIMINALS don't follow laws because they're CRIMINALS and that's why they're CRIMINALS so laws won't affect them anyways?? Facts and reason: 1 Barack HUSSEIN OSAMA: 0 Libtards owned again, Le epic Shapiro style.

Why can't I own an M60
You can in plenty of states since they were produced before 1986. It's just a lengthy and expensive process. If you've got the money, a clean criminal record, a seller and don't mind hopping through a bunch of hoops and checks, you can have a go at it with your own M60 in a year or so.

Agreed, proper gun control is always important. Using two hands is better than one.
Yep. Always treat it as if it's loaded, keep your finger off the trigger, don't aim at anything you don't want to hit and know what's behind your target. Too many accidental firearm deaths / injuries each year so this kind of gun control is definitely worth knowing. That, and the legislation and policy regulating and restricting the manufacturing, transfer, sale, acquisition, ownership and use of firearms.

So YOU'RE the one stopping my delivery!
Admin approval sounds alright as long as we have active admins - who are they apart from Cheat, the mods?
It used to be just a few mods but I think we all have it at this point.

Would anybody be opposed to requiring admin approval on new account creation? It's not like real people register here often anyway.
Sounds good.
