We asked 100 people to name a bodily fluid you would lose on account of Super Sonico. You said “Tears” our survey said… It’s on the board, but it’s not the top answer. I really must be losing it, I’m sure I have a distinct memory of buying SoniAni in a sale and these posts reminded me to watch...

I did not, is it any good? Though I suppose any concept I come up with that I find out someone else has already thought of is probably of interest regardless. A similar thing happened when I learned by chance that a particularly popular author had come up with a concept very similar to one of my...

Thought for the day: How do weather forecasts in the UK manage to consistently under-predict rain but also over-predict snow? At this point you can almost treat a snow forecast as a guarantee it definitely won’t snow and a 0% chance of rain as a 100% chance of rain. If they catastrophized as...

Just wondering out loud at 5am if there’s any way to make money with zero human interaction (and I mean zero, no customers, no bosses, or at least none I ever have to see or communicate with) that doesn’t also require you to have capital to invest in the first place. I’ve been thinking recently...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu: Episodes 12-15 (Complete) Farewell then, all of Higurashi. A pleasing, coherant and mostly conclusive end, to this particular chapter at least. The direction of Sotsu continued to impress right up to the end, I'm going to look up whoever directed the last two...

I have learned to love AI image generation. After experimenting on and off for about a year now with a local install of Stable Diffusion (who wants corporations putting limits on you and tracking your activity?) I have created a checkpoint that consistently generates images fairly close to how I...

I agree with that in principle but I think in practical terms it can be easier said than done. When looking at the "whys" of anti-immigrant sentiment it can be easy to see it as simply racism and xenophobia and no doubt some of it is, I think the level of actual racism in this country can be...

It's called "hCaptcha" but I bet it doesn't even involve hentai at all, does it? "Place the tentacle in the correct place," that might at least have made it fun.

Generally, I don't particularly want people to die either (except specific people I think have done more harm than good to society) but to me the sanest answer to migration, now or in the future, is one that is sensible about resource distribution. We don't really want huge amounts of the...

Wew, all the controversial topics today, eh? Certainly true, but the left both here and in the US seems incapable of even vocalising simple, practical truths like "Illegal immigration is actually pretty bad because if people are scared of being deported, they won't ever go to the authorities...

Left wing unions used to be some of the loudest voices against illegal immigration in the US, not because of xenophobia but because they (quite rightly, I think) saw it as a process by which employers could hire workers without giving them the rights afforded to citizens. That obviously creates...

That would of course be horrible but I think the likelihood of that happening, particularly here, and even in the US is very small. Nearly all of those states that have “banned” abortion (an action I personally don’t agree with, it’s anti-freedom and is a liberty issue rather than an identity...

Does the man himself lurk here? Because today these posts of @BrokenPhoenix and myself might as well have been O’Brien’s script. He even began with “it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?” almost exactly like I did (after seemingly not finding it so obvious the day before). Spooky. By Jove, I think...

As far as I am aware, the postman is within their rights to do that, but they are supposed to put a card through the intended recipient’s letterbox to say where the parcel is (returned to depot, left with No.38, placed in shed, thrown in hedge etc.). If they have not done that, or even if they...

And that right there is what I don’t understand about today’s left. If Trump can do that, so can they. If the press are calling you an anti-semite just turn around and loudly denounce them as losers and liars in the pockets of the rich, it’s not even inaccurate. But they’re too hung up on...

It’s astonishing to me that most other politicians haven’t cottoned on to this yet and adjusted their attitudes accordingly. I think most Americans (and Brits) would at this point be fairly happy to see their leaders get Ceaușescu‘d for the endless grift we’re fully aware nearly all of them are...

Remember, remember the fifth of November Lobbyists, Elon and pot I know of no reason why superPAC treason Should ever be forgot Don Trump, Don Trump, ‘twas his intent To dodge jail and become the President Three score boxes of ballots below Senile old Biden to overthrow By God's providence he...

Does the SRP make much difference when the current edition is available for £19.99 and the new one is anywhere between £32.99-£38.99 to pre-order? That just seems bizarre. Who's pre-ordering that rather than just buying the one that's available right now for more than a tenner less? I mean if...

Worth pointing out that’s also the case with Amazon if you’re not a Prime member. And that’s AMAZON, they’re making billions more a year than any UK anime distributor. Also Prime shipping isn’t really free since you’re still paying Amazon £9 a month, which is nearly 3x£3.50… Personally I don’t...
