Honestly I was browsing r/dankmemes on my breaks at work until I learned that there was some sort of shit-show going on over on this subreddit.

Ian they def did you a favor
Go get some sun buddy

Here's your new Eva unit bro.

Was your avatar always fur cancer this month or just recently? I didn't actually notice until now.

tbh I don't mind class around

If you’re going to try and pin accusations on me you should at least put some thought into it.

How good is HxH?

Comments that aged like FINE WINE:

“jUsT lEaD yOuR sHoTs! :^)“

Literally the most cancerous comment ever made repeatedly in the Optimatch Playlist.

Question for anyone who can answer. How fast is it to get internet setup in a new place you move into? When I moved in with my brother six years ago and the place I'm in now, they already had their internet set up and I just paid them for the usage. Whenever I do get my own place I'd have to get my own plan but I don't really know where/how to start.

Judge officially denies any bail for her. Not that it matters, she's going to be cleaned up well before the court date.

I sincerely hope you stand by these words 100% completely.

You see, unlike you, I don’t condemn people over something they’ve said or done for the rest of their lives. I’m a forgiving person.

There isn't any comments on how broken it is, even on /v/ where they actively look for failings in a game to say it flopped.

Verb, CMD, I'm sure you guys will like this.

When I got home from work yesterday I was greeted with yet another box from CDJapan. I'll cut through the unboxing bullshit and go straight to the meaty details. It's the Archives Of Evangelion DVD Broadcast boxset.


Some comparison images with the Blu-ray Box:


These boxes track dust and fingerprints like fucking crazy though. Also, I've had the Blu-ray box for five years now and I've always been anally careful with it yet it still ends up with damaged edges so I have no idea how the Archives box is going to fair. So what's in Archives?

Archives is a Japanese Region 2 DVD box that contains all 26 episodes of NGE in their original unaltered form exactly as they were broadcast on Japanese TV 25 years ago. All other home releases of NGE were altered to some extent including VHS, Laserdisc, and first release DVD. For example, all home video releases of NGE contain a thirty second next time preview for the next episode, but the Broadcast versions in these set contain the original fifteen second preview. Here's some footage:


To further prove this is the original unaltered cuts. These episodes also have the "This episode is brought to you in part by...." cut at the beginning and end of every episode after the opening and ending.



Lastly, this boxset contains the second version of the first movie Death & Rebirth with the first half called Death (True). If anyone is aware of the release history for both D&R and EoE, they would know they have a very convoluted UNIQUE history. The first half of the first movie Death has three different versions of it. The original theatrical cut was released on DVD in Japan, the second iteration Death (True) is only available in this boxset as it was only broadcast on Japanese TV channel WOWOW back in 1998, there's no other way to get this version of Death; the third version titled Death (True)^2 is widely available in different releases and is the version used for the US release.

Because this was a widescreen movie that was released on Japanese TVs that were still the 4:3 aspect ratio, the movie unfortunately comes out both letter and pillar boxed:



All in all I'd argue that this boxset is just as cool as the Blu-ray box, however because they were never broadcast on TV it doesn't contain the director's cut of episodes 21-24 or End of Eva.

That is definitely not the narrative I'm hearing from news/media outlets; instead I'm being told that he died as a result of suffocation from Chauvin having his knee pressed down on his head. I completely agree that Chauvin's treatment of George only worsened the situation, but when reading the actual transcripts the situation was completely fine before he entered the picture. The initial cop handling Flyd was being polite and respectful when interacting with Floyd (Floyd repeatedly asking to open up a window because he was claustrophobic in a car and the cop repeatedly saying he'd not only do that but also keep the AC in the car on for him). The only issue was the cop was asking politely for Floyd to cooperate with him, but he wasn't being aggressive about it.

I see other reports that Chauvin knew Floyd previously. However that appears to have disappeared almost completely by now. Why do you think that is? Maybe because it would paint a different narrative that Chauvin was acting alone in abusing Floyd out of personal reasons and therefore they can't paint a racist picture against every cop on the scene (which is already incredibly dubious with these transcripts)?

What do you mean? I keep hearing he died of a heart attack or something unrelated to the knee on his neck. That doesn't really make things more easy-going or anything. The cops were in the wrong, and as a result of their rough treatment George's condition probably worsened and because the cops didn't pay him any attention he died. I don't get what you want to talk about, if you have something to say just say it, nobody's gonna talk for you, talk for yourself.

I’m going on two weeks with no AC and the situation has lost its humor pretty damn fast. I really don’t understand why the office is dragging its feet over an issue that affects the place being straight up uninhabitable. This isn’t the north where the temperature outside drops to a somewhat decent range at night; it’s almost 4AM and the temperature outside is still 78 degrees and that’s the lowest for the day. There’s only so much a few fans can do; I know one of my roommates is contacting the office daily over it, but I’m going to talk with him about contacting corporate because waiting this long for a health issue like this is just unacceptable.
