McGinnis. You're up.

Seems like that plan would fall apart when all the banks start issuing charge backs for all the stolen credit card info the bots would be using..

I think in crypto terms, this is called taking a huge dump.

I'm sure if R's just lean a little harder into fascism, they'll definitely win back some of that voting block.. Maybe it's a bit early to be optimistic, but, kinda seems like a good sign for elections to come.

Got you covered.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if enough people get banned for impersonating him that he accidentally gets caught in the crossfire and gets banned himself?

I'm sorry... did you just suggest Tesla's have a low chance of blowing up?

How does it feel, knowing you made a thread so terrible, it killed someone?

Waiting to see the posts about all the ways the porn industry gets in on it. Alternatively, I find it hard to imagine there aren't already bots/scammers on tinder et al. using it for fake profile pics. In the end, it's just a tool, and there will always be shitty people using tools for shitty purposes. Seems like it might kinda suck to be an art streamer now, if anyone can screenshot your work in progress, feed it through a program, and upload it first just to declare it the "original."

Ironic, perhaps even inevitable, as democracy breeds apathy.

I'd say y'all are mighty optimistic about OP's longevity on the block... but I may be biased.

I agree there's room to hope for MHA. Just saying, seems like there's also a good chance it goes the way of Demon Slayer. Just too many parties interested in a piece of that. The only other thing I can think of coming down the pipeline sometime maybe mid/late next year (question mark?) would be Fire Force S3. Beyond that, kinda yeah, they need to be looking for something that isn't just a legacy pickup. Oh OH ohhh, wild speculation time. What if the One Piece change is related to the movie that just released. Like. "Ok, we rode this hype train as long as we could, won't get any better than this." Or. "Maybe the movie will get more people into this and we can milk this acquisition a little bit longer." Or or. "Nobody's going to want to come back and watch these old-ass arcs after that movie." Idk. Something. Is a bit of a coincidental timing. I just.. can't really ever see OP as an actual serious legitimate "We're definitely going to stick with it this time" acquisition. Come to think of it... wasn't the last time they picked up One Piece also right around the time Gold released..?

Made in Abyss is confusing enough to start with. You'll get the whole spread of viewers that drop out not knowing what's going on, viewers that roll through not knowing what was going on in the first place, and viewers that actually seek out the missing content. Pure copium on anyone's part to think Toonami ever would've aired the movie. Didn't they already declare movies off the table a long while ago? Last time I vaguely recall it happening, performance was abyssmal... ok, maybe wrong word choice in this context.. Personally, wouldn't really count on picking up more MHA. Too mainstream, too much attention by any other service to grab it up. Slim chance, and there may yet be hope, but I'd be more inclined to expect to see it lost to Toonami. Bleach may be big, but it's also old. Sure, new stuff is new, but I wouldn't say it's still got the same momentum it had. Better chance to see it here... but... do we really need to? Bleh. Haven't missed that show. As long as we're pitching cheap filler/marathon fodder.... Doesn't [as] basically forever have the rights to Big O S2? >__> As great as it would be for Toonami to be the place to find the big guns, I kinda just don't think they're in the position to do that anymore, all things considered. Personal opinion, I'd just as soon see them transition into a sort of diamond-in-the-rough block. Forget the big name mainstream stuff. Pick up more quality obscure titles. I mean... I have no frame of reference or context, but, in my total ignorance, it seemed like Made in Abyss came out of nowhere, and it's got some quality to it. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it made waves, idk. But I'd totally take more like this, titles that nobody's really paying attention to but deserve a place to shine.

It's hilarious that he still shows up in this thread after this embarrassment.

I... what? I know I've been down the mashup rabbit hole, but...? I guess it's some sort of meme to mash this Slipknot song into anything? Bold. I guess I could go for more "anime songs mixed with things that are very not anime." Although... a lot of anime songs just get sorted into "generic music" in my brain, unless they really stand out..

Is it really a "canon double feature" if the second episode is filler?

This exposition dump feels like some lazy writing...

No no, I think what he's saying is, if Trump hadn't fucked up our covid response so badly, the covid-related spending might not have been so high in the first place.

Huh. Thought it was gonna be this one.

..I sure do hope the intensely vivid dream I had last night about Sarah Connor's life growing up and learning all of her tactical skills wasn't any sort of premonition...

Y'know, hadn't thought about it, but, totally obvious, prolly Putin was counting on Trump winning a second term, and counting on him not supplying any aid to Ukraine when this kicked off.. Yup. Totally America's fault.

A good supplement to the story is this lady, who actually knows maritime law, tweeting her reactions along the way. My favorite part:

Similarly not a fan of most of them. Oat milk still tastes like oats. Soy milk... well, that's more of a thing that has its own flavor that isn't really milk... But, macadamia milk isn't too bad.

"Again" implies they ever stopped losing. I still think the whole community should've collectively crawled under a rock from embarrassment after the whole Satoshi cruise ship debacle.
