Huh, I'd aways heard all versions were between bad and mediocre. I mean, Rowling is an awful person on the whole. Like opening a shelter for rape victims.... that rejects women for not looking womanly enough kind of awful person. So, I don't really think Radcliffe is in the wrong.

Well, I guess there's one person on the planet excited for McConnell to return. And it's barely a person.

I'm really sick of the idea that because people said a thing would happen and it hasn't happemed yet it somehow means it won't happen despite it clearly being on the same trajectory as predicted. Duuuuuuuh, that bullet hasn't hit me yet so it clearly never wi- *dead*

I thought nobody liked that one anyway.

I mean, Elon does seem deadset on making the Twitter sphere not exist. So there probably won't be one to return to sooner rather than later.

shut up scoob

Too much ass in that class.

Party of law and order.

Justice Thomas as he attempts to emulate normal human behavior.

Shitshows gonna show their shit.

No prob, man. I've been there, still am to a degree. It is dubbed but I can't attest to actual quality. It's an early 2000s dub, so take that for what you will. They did also have to continue some in OVAs that never got dubs (the last 8 episodes of Phantom Troupe and all of Greed Island). Chimera Ant is only 2011 and in the manga, but either version of that arc is worth checking out so long as you liked the stuff before it, which would bring the length up quite a bit. '99 is 62 epispdes, plus 30 OVAs. Chimera Ant, assuming there's interest, is 60 episodes and the arc after is only 11. Technically there's more after the anime, but you know, hiatuses and whatnot. So, with the OVAs it's a few episodes longer than Robotech (92 vs 85). Beyond that, I'd encourage giving later arcs a chance if you end up liking '99, however that is a lot more than Robotech and really comes down to if you even like '99. I've been much more open to new stuff these days. Like I've never been huge on superhero stuff and recently watched the DCAU Justice League and Unlimited with some friends, which were both very good. I'm also reading, and thoroughly enjoying, Animorphs. Never watched Robotech but I did like what little I've seen of Macross [I believe it was Macross Plus].

Fingers crossed!

Mother's Basement kinda pisses me off, especially on this. The video is literally some guys making a video and having an algorithm rotoscope it. Is that not art? How much computer input is too much to qualify? If an AI obtains full sentience and wishes to express itself through art, is that art invalid? I'd go so far as to say MB goes beyond negligence in his video and the degree to which he misinforms his audience makes the video a downright bad one. I can't say for certain he's being dishonest or simply doesn't know what he's talking about, as I've learned thinking MB knows what he's talking about has often been in poor judgment. Since we're reposting anime folder links, a much better video on this was done by based af chad Adam Conover.

"AI art" is not only a misnomer but is following a predictable pattern of any new form of art. Firstly, no AI we have is actually intelligent. It's an unthinking machine that plays crosswords almost intelligibly sometimes. Secondly, 100 years ago, the concept of film as an art form was met with derision. It's just a fad, one day the youngins will learn that only my high brow BOOKS are the only way to tell compelling stories. 🧐 Yet, nobody can deny the amount of work, passion, and skill it takes to make a good film. We have films accepted nigh universally as deserving prestige. The talkies? Just a gimmick. TV? A fad. Color? Nobody can afford that. But alas, tell me how art is inherently worse because it's easier to make. How many years have video games existed and how many years have they been respected as an art form? It's just antiquated elitism that leaves people scoffing at this because oh no more accessible. It's going to bubble up with the most godawful shit imaginable, but more people being given technology to produce content that would previously take millions of dollars without corporate dumbasses working to actively suck all forms of creative integrity dry seems like a positive. You get passed the wtf is this phase and we'll be seeing some crazy good stuff soon enough. I always thought I was "lazy" for being unable to actually practice art to a level I found acceptable. But I've been cripplingly fatigued for over a decade without realizing it. I don't know if it's an injury or what, just that my back has been messed up since high school at latest. It's hard enough to film with legal blindness, and drawing has been infuriating when my hands had no grip. The animation AI thing actually gives me hope that I might be able to make things like one of you normal people.

Those are reserved for important things, like her mansion.

Google says he's currently worth about 55.6 billion less than that lawsuit. Just that one. Not including the others. I hope he loses everything.

They probably just bought rights to use the IP for the game. Same kind of thing you would get out of a video game slapped together to advertise a movie.

Hershey's is for when you want chocolate to feel like you swallowed sugarcoated sandpaper.

Okay, so, for what reason might a corporation fire people in favor of AI production? Because you need fewer resources and it's cheaper to make a product with it. Okay, okay. They can make it with fewer resources, you know who else can? That's right, the people who got fired! It's almost like this means a wider number of people can produce and sell their own art without needing the funding of monopolies. As a result, you get a new form of art unlike any we've seen before: high budget blockbusters made by whoever felt like making and/or selling it without having Disney to doublefist them at every opportunity. In turn, all the competent people now can make their own stuff their own way and the techbro dumbfucks you're talking about are left with lazy morons who think a fancy filter can do the job itself just because it's cheaper. AI art is the path to an art renaissance by way of stripping away the fabric of commodified art as it stands. Not to mention that, need I remind you, it's not artificial intelligence when it's not intelligent.

None of that matters to making a decision on whether or not to indict and reflects nothing about the prosecutor's intelligience. What matters is evidence.

Yes, because the legal system totally works like, "Well, that one lawsuit for a real crime didn't work so I guess we can't charge for any other crimes because it looks bad to the public." Our justice system isn't a popularity contest. Our justice system should not be a popularity contest. Lawyers, at least not legitimate ones with multiple functioning braincells, don't drop charges based on political maneuvers. They don't press charges on political maneuvers. So, like, shut up scoob.

I'm looking forward to the judge asserting dominance whenever he refuses to shut the fuck up.
