I am super disappointed to hear that Namco-Bandai (who I mostly care about for Dark Souls but they're a prolific company) have hopped aboard the "we should be able to claim Youtube videos and make ad money off of them instead of you, nyeh nyeh nyeh" train.
i would kinda get it if they wanted part of the ad money
2. the people doing the saying fap to all their favorite animes, and they assume that everyone else does as well
3. as such, they think that the people who watch lucky star must fap to it
flawless logic if i do say so myself
tbh I do not find it difficult to find animated characters attractive, but the entire cast of Lucky Star is so far from what I'd consider attractive that I find it baffling that anyone would even think anyone would.
it's like assuming that the reason people sleep with pillows is because they want to fuck the pillows.
Admittedly I didn't really know if I wanted to start KLK because I heard about the whole objectification debate about it but when I saw a bit more of the storyline deets I finally decided to try it against my better judgment
I'm at about Episode 6, and my feelings are mixed about the whole thing because it's well-written and does a great job of getting the viewer hooked but despite acting as a parody of the whole "skimpy femme" trope it still makes things sort of uncomfortable if you're not watching it to get a boner.
I probably will keep watching, though-- the show's good enough that I can bring myself to try ignoring that part of it.

but all of it does not make any sense imo
well with Youtube's current model it's literally impossible to split revenues from a channel.
The legal argument is that Lets Plays and Reviews use enough of the pre-existing copyrighted content that they're not protected under fair use blah blah blah. The point (as always) is not whether or not the company can do it, it's whether or not they should.

that's pretty dumb
many things about Youtube are either pretty dumb or just entirely dumb.
I need to catch up on Kill La Kill soon. I liked the first few episodes when I watched them a while back. Episode 4 was the one that really hooked me, FWIW.
I dunno what it is about the show, but I think I like it best when it skews toward either the action side of things or the humor. It's not bad in the middle, though.
as for Google, well, they've been consistently good enough for me that I'm not hesitant to keep using their stuff
Apple is similar but since iOS 7 I've been less enthused with their attitude toward legacy users like myself; it seems like the planned obsolescence thing is getting a bit worse these days
and finally, I only use Microshit because of market domination, and even that's starting to lose its grip (i.e., if/when Steam OS gains some steam, I will be dropping Windows like a hot pot sticker)
It's just such a poor, strawman response to that question.
That's the kind of answer that gets people called radfems and dismissed.
maybe so, but being kind of grouchy on tumblr isn't exactly on the same level as being an antisemite
not saying there aren't valid criticisms to be made of radical feminists, but if someone dismisses someone just because she's a radical feminist that's really unfair
(no idea if she really is a misandrist; also her tumblr's theme is horrible, i can barely read it)
also with regards to Gandhi, maybe worth noting that Hitler regarded the British as weak for not simply shooting him; any admiration there was certainly one-way
to me it seems like the embodiment of this current trend towards making everything minimalistic, coupled with an attitude towards user-friendliness that's nothing short of condescending
i want my PC to be a PC, not a PC pretending to be a phone pretending to be a PC
Windows 8 isn't as terrible as people say it is but the current version of it does stink of that whole "we know what you want and we're kinda-sorta giving it to you but you should still conform to how we like things because what are you gonna do otherwise" attitude, you know?
The introduction of the Start screen for all versions of the OS just seems like them shoving a new design onto users just because they can, and while I don't mind it too much those that do are sort of left to their own devices, and I don't like that part of it, honestly. Like, I think I should be able to have a competent, traditional Start menu without having to go to third parties for it.

Which is exactly the problem I'm talking about. Metro and the Live Tiles work on phones/tablets because they're the kinds of devices that are meant to be interacted with directly, and while they're notably prettier than the default Desktop interface, the Desktop is more useful if you're the type of person who prefers a keyboard and mouse on a PC.
tl;dr we should be able to choose rather than having to resort to silent rebellion

But they're refraining from that, IIRC, so that's cool
better them than Apple, though
-shudders-
God help me.
Chrome is fine, also, although i'm kind of attached to Firefox
Where the google trade boats bring in imported google goods from Google land.
Google has bought out australlia, their main export is google death.
i love the sheer over-the-topness of it
it was already the continent of death to begin with

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys

maybe the next time i buy a PC i'll consider switching to a different OS, but for the time being i see no reason not to stick with what i have
The tiles thing is superficial and an annoyance at worst, but it also doesn't really have any practical uses because nothing exists for it.
*I seem to somehow often disable the touchscreen by accident and I don't know how I do it.

that's nothing really against Microsoft or anyone else, i just hate drastic changes
