Hey, naked hostages running for their lives are pretty dangerous, too.

Like the preschools?

@TrigunBebop:

I'm arguing with people over whether or not a translation is inherently worse based solely on how faithful it is to the original. I asked: if the translator is correcting a narrative plothole, one we are assuming to be a real error, would the corrected script be worse on the basis of a change when that change was objectively fixing an error? They went on a rant about it never being a localizer's job to make that call (that's literally their job) without the author's consent, which I think is an absurd standard when applied to reality. They ended their rant with a non-hypothetic in which they described a fictitious scenario to highlight their point....

Husker who?

Good thing he's a gross loser nobody likes.

I'm not saying what he wants is good. I'm saying he places declining birthrates as an existential crisis for mankind that he believes he will personally stop. He has the money to buy basically unlimited prostitutes. Someone with even a little likeability and his resources should be able to fuck like rabbits. He only has 12 kids. To stop mankind from dying out. That's fucking hilarious.

I'm saying that he wants to have as many kids as possible and has the money to buy more pussy than any one person in history, but is so unappealing that he can't even breach 20 children. He's still falling short of the teens, for that matter. What a fucking loser.

His daughter called him an incel.

He has a hilariously low number for a man with a breeding/being a bad father fetish while being the richest dude on earth.

He has those?

Sports fans are weird.

We'll see when I make the unfortunate decision to catch up.

Yeah, that's what we call the thing you have shoved so far up your poop chute it's getting an internal BJ.

Kamala: *raises $1 billion* MD: Kamala's campaign is imploding!!!

Take your IQ and convert to Celsius. You'll have an easier time understanding how MD thinks.

There's a strike thread?

For no fucking reason whatsoever, my new ass fucking computer stopped picking up audio from my mic. I've tried multiple mics with different connection types and different ports, restarting, reinstalling drivers, checking privacy (doesn't have the fucking option in settings, so I have to try Safe Mode, and the bullshit motherfucking pile of shit window closes as soon as I click into the microphone privacy settings while in Safe Mode). My class asks us to not do system restores or I'll potentially have to reformat the whole fucking computer.

Localization isn't all about accuracy to the source material. That's not the primary goal. It should be kept in mind, but localizing is making it accessible to a different locale. That's what it's called, and liberties will always be necessary. I'm having a conversation with someone so pretentious they would complain about how they want what the origin got but in English bevause "if I wanted to buy a western artist's work, I would." Bro, you're buying a translation. That's a western artist's work! I'd rather have a less accurate version that fixes problems or gives bland writing some personality. Some people genuinely want worse work out of arbitrary purity tests. I'm not suggesting to disregard the source, but it's a different person's interpretation. It's going to be different, and if they don’t implement some personality of their own, it's often going to come out without one in translation.
