@TheMicahWave @nypost Trump will be on TV tomorrow

@nypost You mad that the attention isn’t on trump?

Stephen Colbert's final 'Late Show' wasn't funny or emotional at all - just like his last 11 years trib.al/OBwXZZ9

@duster_blue @RazorFist He quoted those years because that's when this odd screen convention of seperate beds existed.

@RazorFist "Real wives and husbands in the 1940s and '50s slept in the same bed." Just like real wives and husbands did in the 1930s and the ages before that. I think the midwit making this post is an actual unironic incel.

That wasn't a custom, bro. That was a decency rule for television. (And not all TV shows and movies followed it) Real wives and husbands in the 1940s and '50s slept in the same bed.

@RiseFallNickBck I believe "Him" to be an epithet for his true name; Satan Claws

Tom Kane didn't just voice The Professor, he voiced one of my favorite villains of all time, and he always will be. Him. I will never forget the absolutely incredible performance he gave every single time. RIP.

@AdamCAllison @HariSel57511397 Even anime explores this form of woman moment.

@HariSel57511397 She also rejects him b/c of her career but leaves the door open to suggest that when doesn't need her career and maybe if he can back off from his or become stable, he's the one she'd choose. And it hits hard when he shows that he might not be there waiting... Realistic, maybe?

>Sci-Fi sex worker >Always plays hard to get >Emotionally distant >Ropes Captain into saving attractive prostitute friends >Never sets boundaries >He sleeps with her best friend >Crashes out because she thought he would always remain loyal to her Can’t say it was unrealistic

@castussan She couldn't even swim until the OVA tho 😆

Ai-chan is the blue one, it makes sense to me that she'd prefer Water-type Pokémon... But I can also see her liking Fighting-types! I imagine her team with Pokémon like Vaporeon, Machamp or Octillery (bc of her love for takoyaki) but I think her main Pokémon would be Poliwrath!

@phyddeaux @Sargon_of_Akkad Where is the new "Alexander" supposed to come from to eclipse "Sparta"?

@Sargon_of_Akkad And today, no-one can say with certainty where Sparta even is.

Yeah, he would. He represents the Athens to Trump's Sparta in this comparison. If you don't recall, Athens lost the Peloponnesian War.

@SimonNordon @ChristinaTasty The problem is that with only a "feeling" of a game, it would lose nothing and indeed would be better served as a movie. Judged AS a movie it's a big failure; the shot choices alone (mimmicking a game) are bland and boring.

@ChristinaTasty This game illustrates the two types of gamers. This isn't a game, there is no interaction, challenge or skill expression, however it makes you 'feel' like you're playing a game. I don't have anything against this type of 3D animation, not my cup of tea.

First thing I did in Mixtape was to intentionally crash into a car to see if anything fun happened. It did not.

@chippel @HerrHighground en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_A…

@HerrHighground What the fuck are you talking about?

Haha fuck you, crystalline entity. Old lady scientist for the win. But of course, the PUSSY BITCH writers swooped in with Data presuming to speak for her son to lecture her about destroying the genocidal space tree. The cosmic ecology is horror without end, even in Star Trek.

@AkaiRiot churning butter?

life on the ranch is simple, but rewarding 🤠

@RoxysRumble @scotus_wire Constituionally, congressional impeachment for bad behavior. But Congress is too spineless to exercise that oversight responsibility.

@scotus_wire Jackson really is a very unqualified dummy. Whats the remedy though?

Justice Alito fires back at Justice Jackson, calling her solo dissent "baseless and insulting" and "utterly irresponsible" after she accused the majority of abandoning principle for power.

@journeyman121_ @fandompulse You can't pay off a criminal charge; he was found not guilty on even small-time child endangerment charges.

@fandompulse Declared innocent? He was declared rich and paid 25 million to silence people.

Former DC Comics artist Ethan Van Sciver calls Michael Jackson a pedophile: "He so obviously WAS a pedophile. It’s amazing how the internet, which is obsessed with pedophilia and pedophiles, is so blind to the fact that MJ transparently was one. It’s as if SJWs thought everyone was a nazi but Adolf Hitler." Wasn't Jackson declared innocent?

As someone who's been writing military science-fiction for years, and have many friends in or formerly in the military (some of which are authors themselves,) I have something to say about this: If all Yoshiyuki Tomino has to say with his art is that "war is bad," then he should stop making art, as he's only going to waste our time. Any fool with two brain cells to rub together knows that war is ugly, brutal and costly. That doesn't mean war is pointless and should never be fought no matter the circumstances. In fact, such a statement is worse than pointless, as lethal conflict is a common constant of human civilization - and, for that matter, a constant among the vast majority of life existing on Earth, even between bacteria. If all your story does is shout "this is bad!" it's a childish lament that leaves a tremendous amount of this constant of human existence unexamined. Who fights wars - the elites, like the ancient Greek Hoplites, or the knights of the middle ages, or the common men who volunteer, like in many modern nations? What do they fight for - for the ideals of their beloved nation, for honor and glory, or to save the women and children in the city that stands at their backs? What defines a good soldier? What defines a good leader? These questions are just as essential for us as they were for our forefathers, because the world is a tumultuous place full of evil people and great dangers and the time is coming, sooner than many may think, where wars between great powers will shake the foundations of the world and the lives of millions will hang in the balance. To explore questions like this, of such import to our souls, is one of the core reasons people tell stories to begin with. And our tools and machines have always been essential to the conduct of war and the defense of all we hold dear. Men have told stories of talking swords or "tsukumogami" for as long as swords have existed; long before we could even conceptualize a thinking machine might be made with science; we dreamt of them existing through magic or spirit. Tools are what first brought us out of the trees to stride the earth as its masters; in the tools we shape and wield with our own hands we make manifest our intent, our will, our spirit. In the modern age, the vastness of our creations sometimes makes it easy to forget, but the human element is still the entire point. I quote from page 71 of "Shattered Sword" by Johnathan Parshall and Anthony Tully: "The study of naval warfare (more than any other form of combat) holds the potential to completely subordinate the human element to the weapons themselves. Naval combat is conducted almost exclusively by means of machines – machines that are in many cases so huge and grand that they often seem to take on a life and personality of their own that transcend the tiny figures that inhabit them. Yet, in the final analysis, it is men who live in the ship, command and fight the ship, and often die in the ship. Their story, no matter how seemingly eclipsed by the great vessels they serve in, is still the fundamental story to be related.” Its only natural we should be entranced with the great machines of war that we build, as they're the final product of the genius and labors of an entire society; fashioned into an incredible tool that is nothing if not wielded by the hand of a skilled warrior devoted to his craft and his mission. I know of not a single mecha story that runs afoul of Parshall and Tully's warning as quoted above; everyone seems to understand the assignment. The ones that don't are the likes of Tomino, or his fellow anti-war traveler Miyazaki. I can't understand a man who thinks fighter planes are beautiful but has little more to say about war than "it's bad;" he refuses to see that the beautiful form of a fighter plane follows its function, and that there's a savage, primal beauty in that function, like the fury that animates a thunderstorm. Or the fury and purpose that animate its pilot, for that matter. Tomino seems to think that "nothing of substance is getting across." I disagree. I think the substance came across very well, and many in younger generations just think that substance is woefully lacking. There's a cutscene in the Knights of the Old Republic, between Carth Onasi and Canderous, where Carth expounds on the difference between "soldiers" and "warriors," defining warriors as those who fight for plunder and the glory of conquest, and soldiers as those who fight to protect their nation and peoples - usually from warriors. He made a great point, but Canderous wasn't entirely wrong. As any fighter pilot can tell you, you need more than noble motivations to sacrifice and serve to be truly excellent - to overcome your enemy in an aerial duel, you need that urge to "lean in" to the fight; that competitive drive - a part of you needs to love the fight. Many soldiers over the ages have spoken of this; as Robert E. Lee said "it's well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it." It's that primal urge drawn straight from our deepest instincts; that thirst to compete and win, that gives soldiers the fire and fury to do their utmost in combat, to win the challenge, to defeat those who would plunder their temples, raze their cities and enslave their women and children. That is the truth of war, every bit as much as the death and boredom and bloodshed and terror. And if you can only tell one half of that truth, because the other half doesn't align with your political or personal views, then I don't give a god damn what you have to say about it, or about the works of storytellers who do.

@gerph_art @GeneralChrollo That would be a great one-shot with a twist-ending.

@GeneralChrollo "... que resulta ser el heredero de una familia Millonaria, pero la chica en realidad ya lo sabia y busca asesinarlo para obtener su fortuna, pero el chico también sabia eso, pues es un detective encubierto que busca ponerla tras las rejas por sus crímenes."

“Y la chica más popular y más hermosa del colegio se enamora perdidamente del otaku antisocial del colegio”

@chu_san @planefag Zambot 3, which he directed earlier, had a kid literally explode so I don't know what he was prevented from doing in Gundam.

@planefag 大丈夫だよ富野監督は日本の子供向けに作ってたわけだからね

@DaddyWarpig Adds an element of strategic obstruction. Correctly predict your opponent's desired move and moving the duck to block it becomes a big advantage. Or, since the duck MUST be moved after the player's normal move, blocking your own next move prevent's the opponent from doing so.

@Lurkman45 That sounds fascinating and annoying.

That’s genius. But you’d have to limit its movement somehow. “Move like any other piece” would do it. “Isn’t that just a queen?” No, it’s Queen plus Knight’s jumping and turning. En Passant too, technically, but it can’t capture pieces.

@P1ich1 @Uravity98114 Now I realize she has a big butt, too.

@Uravity98114 you guys are cowards, keep her real size.

I like how everyone collectively agrees that Anya mouthwashing is stacked as hell beneath that sweater..

@Uravity98114 That straining fabric does not lie.

@BigDumSirk @mersomas He tried to warn us.

@mersomas don't you care about your "'ling"? also refered to as your "dingaling"?

Thank god it affects my ling and not my lungs
