well it's good to know you don't actually know anything about healthcare, especially mental healthcare

healthcare workers get assaulted all the time, especially in mental health facilities, and because of attitudes like this they're expected to just deal with it.

Whatever you say. Let's have these people walking around.

even if this kid was in a mental health facility he'd have to be pumped full of drugs just to be controlled, apparently. nurses aren't any better equipped to deal with this violence than teachers are.

You're wrong. Most mental health facilities have orderlies who are there to restrain patients if needed. They are equipped to deal with violence. And the cohort of people that are in danger are a small, trained group of people who see him every day, and have intimate knowledge of his mental health status.

I fail to see an issue, I feel like you're being obtuse on purpose.

The mother tried to keep him out of public school and her insurance ran out. It is the system that failed here but the mother also should have made clear how dangerous her son was to the school.

There should have been a big strong cop going with him everywhere or someone who could protect others from him when he got violent.

Mental issues or not this was a big strong violent guy who had zero control over his rage so someone who could physically handle him when he went off was needed.

We need state funded full time mental care facilities, full stop. I'm pretty sure Reagan fucked this up, iirc.

There are people that simply cannot function in society, and people shouldn't have to worry about getting beaten to death by them.

If you're unhinged enough that you'd try to murder someone over your video game you probably shouldn't be out in the general public.

I was about to say this. Disabilities or no, if you beat someone half to death over a toy, you don't belong in society.

You either need to be in prison, or a full time care facility. For the safety of yourself, and everyone else.

But u be mad if America is Xenophobic

I really don't know, man. I feel really fucking disillusioned with the amount of bullshit we put up with here after traveling abroad. We're a shithole, full stop.

I dealt with the xenophobia firsthand while I was there, and honestly it was nothing compared to everything being clean, safe, cheap, and actually functional.

This has nothing to do with Biden though. He participated in the discussion and only told them what their own economists have been saying for years.

Whether people care or not it does affect them. Japan is one of the leading imports and exports of goods and as much as the board consumes its products and discuss it like anime, computers, etc. They feel the reprecussions real or imagined their stakes.

Does The Line need to go up forever? Capitalism is pretty harmful, why is it so important for the economy to never pull back at all?

Lmao fuck this. Everything is someone else's fault.

It's macroeconomics shit the average person doesn't care about IRL but pretends to care about on the Internet and everyone has the solution because one time they heard someone say immigration is good for the economy.

Japan functions on a level that is unheard of in most Western countries outside of the nordic ones, I feel like we should get people to stop shitting in the streets, stealing cars or not openly shooting drugs on our trains before we tell the Japanese what to do lmao. They're doing way better than we are.

Why is the global community so worried about what Japan does or doesn't do? I just spent almost a month there, they seem to have their shit together.

They have a right to decide their own policies.

Maybe some alien cultures see clothes as unnecessary. The armor had a purely practical use up until he removed it.

At a certain point everyone stopped wearing armor, since it wasn't strong enough to protect from ki blasts of a fighter above a certain caliber, which everyone became.

i'd consider myself a casual gamer since I honestly don't play much a week. not into mtx stuff though. I'd assume it's the hardcore types that are willing to pay for MTX to get the edge but maybe im wrong? Like i'd certainly think money whales in any MMO/Gacha game are part of the hardcore crowd.

I'm pretty sure most hardcore games don't want ANY mtx in their games

Euripides posted...

ELL OH ELL at this notion that the market used to be tailored to "hardcore" gamers.

I've been playing videogames since my family got an Intellivision in 1981. There have been casual games for nearly 50 years.

Do you people forget the Nintendo exists?

It literally was. Games were expensive, so to have their customers get the most playtime out of a game, they tended to be difficult.

I think it's important for the more historically oppressed groups of people to legally own guns (who tend to trend Democrat), but please don't be obtuse

The hardcore gamer market would have remained too small to sustain today's development costs.

The current development costs are completely unnecessary and I don't buy that they're what's holding gaming back.

What's holding gaming back is the realization that you can gate things behind microtransactions and people will still play your (slot machine) game.

Especially when the first thing Id do is go take guns from conservatives.

Seems unsafe and sort of delusional. Nobody is an anime protagonist, I don't think robbing someone for their guns would be very successful in a "society breaks down" situation.

Casuals subsidise hardcore gamers. Current development budgets would not be sustainable without them.

Hardcore gamers hate that, and the concessions made to them.

Hardcore games existed before casuals entered the market. Hardcore games WERE the market, originally.

I'm pretty sure the main complaint is historically hardcore series getting fundamental changes to appeal to a wider audience, one that seems to either complain anyway or not buy the game regardless.

Only because casuals can flood non-casual games/genres and chanclge them through sheer bitching.

Are you saying they'll fail or won't pull it off?

I'm saying it wouldn't happen to begin with, and if it started it would be quashed pretty quickly. I'm saying the least armed and most marginalized groups in the US don't really have an effective way of utilizing force, and if they did it would quickly turn the larger portion of the US against their cause simply by disrupting their daily lives. I'm saying there is such an absurd amount of infighting between the truly leftist groups that some sort of unified protest or revolution wouldn't really be possible.dd

Liberals don't have any hope of a revolution imo. But a fully nationwide general strike would be truly damaging. America speaks money more than it speaks violence. Imo. And it's more effective against the establishment trying to turn the rest of the populace against you.

If voting doesn't help, then I'm going to try trusting the far left to know what they're actually doing if a revolution is our only hope of stopping a fascist-led America. I just hope they have the means to also minimize any collateral damage that could arise from such an event.

I feel like this is delusional. Gun ownership is low on the left and they also seem to be the first people to claim that small arms don't work against the government.

I've met very few people in the US who are actually willing to give up their comfort of living for "revolution". Way more people who boast on the internet about it.

It isnt o-chi-ya. Its o-chya. There are other weirdo blends that duolingo really sucks at teaching. The -ou sound being the main culprit.

There's a lot of contractions, especially in western words.

Coming from someone whose wife is Japanese and making him learn the language:

Don't use Duo until you know Hirigana and Katakana. Use Anki for those, THEN use Duo. The romanji is a huge crutch and should be skipped entirely, imo.

What I've heard is that it's because of number of car thefts in a given area, on top of car manufacturer. Kias and Hyundais are getting stolen and joyridden into accidents, used for robberies in my city like crazy. Ad a result, all our insurance has gone up, on top of Kias and Hyundais being insanely expensive to insure now.

This is anti free speech and reprehensible

I dont agree with this but Ive kind of notice whenever examples of great dubs are asked for its always older ones from the 90s like yu yu hakosho, FMA, cowboy bebob, or Naruto.

My theory is that they aired in the US dubbed, so it was a mix of nostalgia, and the fact that it's the "default" experience for viewing these anime back when they were airing in the US that has them placed so high.

NoxObscuras posted...

Yeah it sucks that licensing issues cause some anime to just disappear from streaming. A lot of the older ones go out of print and end up costing a fortune to get a dvd/bluray copy too.

I think it's going to get removed for being a product of like, 2008 offensive humor. It's definitely a product of it's time and couldn't really be made today, which is why I think that we'll be seeing it removed from availability in the next few years.

Torisashi is literally poached at a high temp for a short period to kill off bacteria. That's why it's safe to eat there. Not to mention everything is sterilized and the chicken is super fresh. It's served immediately after its prepared

Pretty sure that's Toriwasa, which is a different dish.

I don't see the point. Raw chicken. Is tough, cooked chicken is tender.

Raw chicken was amazingly tender, dunno what you're talking about. Wasn't even chewy.

I think the dubs in Persona sound fine. My only gripe was changing Chie's voice from cool and calm in the original to the hyper, bubbly girl we have now in Golden. I'm guessing that's the kind of VA's you mean? The over-exaggerated ones that try to carry over Japanese mannerisms into English.

I personally prefer subs because the dialogue is closer to the original than with dubs. With subs, you just have to deal with any changes the localization team feels wouldn't make sense to western audiences. But with dubs, lines can be completely different because they're also focused on making the lines have a similar number of syllables to the mouth movements. That said though, some dubs are fantastic, regardless of dialogue changes.

You should fix that. Tons of great anime out there.

I agree with all of those except for Naruto (the dub constantly saying "believe it" was annoying as hell). But there's way more than 4 good english dubs:
Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z
Cowboy Bebop
Yu Yu Hakusho
Ghost in the Shell
Big O
FLCL
Full Metal Alchemist/Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Black Lagoon
Code Geass
Death Note
Stein's Gate
Baccano (it's about mobsters in 1930's Chicago, the dub nails the accents)
91 Days (another one about mobsters that nails the accents)
Ghost Stories (the official dub is hilariously unhinged and feels like an abridged dub)
Ascendance of a Bookworm
Eighty Six

And that's not even counting any good dubs that I just haven't watched.

Forgot about Code Geass and and Cowboy Bebop.

Just recently bought Ghost Stories on Blu-ray, I feel like there's a ticking timer on how long that anime will be around before being scrubbed from streaming services forever
