I don't know if people here know why the animation of the '90s is considered a renaissance both in and out of the industry, but to distill it, animation talent got to express their own ideas again. This is part of the reason the toyetic stuff of the '80s is so despised by them.
I still have some childish tastes, if I'll be honest, and always resented the idea that once I got to a certain age I was supposed to move on to crime dramas and bland sitcoms
even something as simple as mass-adding people to a group on steam can break it.
for example, someone added me to a curious-looking group, out of the blue.
ideally, here's what I expect: 1. i send a friend request to that person, which he/she accepts. 2. i then ask that he/she explain how he/she found my name, and why he/she invited me to this group. 3. assuming that #2 is amicable, we introduce ourselves to each other, and then i join that group.
if every person who received a group invitation request wanted to do this, then mass group invitations would become an extremely labor-intensive process.
...actually, maybe that's a good thing in that it'd cut down on the random invites...
yep, just confirmed it. that person who added me to her/his group on steam replied to me (in a thread) and said that we shared some groups. i checked those groups -- they're nothing but very generic groups:
Groups in Common:
jRPG Inn - 295 members Indiegala - 616,534 members GOG.com - 4,045 members Steam Trading Cards Group - 1,350,966 members (the group that he/she invited me to) - 21 members (doesn't count, obviously)
what i don't like is that in life there are a lot of things that actually give better success rate if done "improperly" or otherwise in ways that have higher social cost
for example, if you spam friend invites to your steam group, you're likely to get more members
it's funny how redundancy is treated as extra meaning
sometimes you can take advantage of this and get away with things just by being unnecessarily redundant
"[person]'s canonical birthday is [date]"
well, they only have one birthday, so it's the canonical one by default
i didn't have to say it
but it's slightly more fun if i do because then it gets you to think what else i mean...except i don't mean anything else lololololoololololl
well actually i DO have a specific reason for saying it, in that specific situation
but i'm just never going to mention that reason unless someone is going to find fault with me in a specific way that relates to that reason, in which case i'll have a ready-made reply for them -- and i won't have to make the post look suspicious by editing it, even!
Blegh. I am quite terrible with finishing things, be it trying to finish games, books or shows. Still left Stone Ocean hanging and I feel terrible about that. I am trying to get better about that though.
including this idea of a "positive" right-to-vote amendment
note that the current amendments regarding the right to vote, in the u.s. constitution, are all "negative" in that they say that the right to vote shall not be infringed/abridged under certain circumstances (e.g. race, previous servitude, gender, age)
in related news, House Republicans are pretty much threatening to personally arrest the entire cabinet of the District if they let the marijuana legalization measure (which passed) come into law. Nice job channeling the Klan, motherfuckers. :P
And besides, what standing would they have to do anything? DoJ has already said they're not going to hassle states about it, so the worst that could happen is that they'd be in contempt of Congress---maybe.
Comments
I didn't understand half of what was going on, and ended up being a very interesting unknown element into the gameplay.
Still lost, though.
I just feel that western animation, by the virtue of its demographic, just doesn't have much to offer me.
Not nothing, just...not much.
But that's a dumb way of thinking, isn't it
by retail politics i mean "get to know everyone and be able to have a customized conversation with everyone you meet".

is it possible to do something like that but at larger population scale?
and even for different undergrad years, heck

I suspect he/she mass added everyone at jRPG Inn.

...is kinda amazing in a cleverness way but also rather time-consuming
I mostly don't really mean it, except that as an 80s kid I have a bit of nostalgia for that "toyetic" stuff, so

h/t to this article for highlighting this: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/02/the_next_republican_attack_on_voting_right_democrats_should_fight_for_a.html
also contrast it to, say, the 2nd amendment which just says "shall not be infringed" and lists no other conditions.
