“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”

Hiding behind this excuse, when I could have sworn that they literally tackled this exact subject matter on The Disney Channel like ten years ago. It's a pretty clear barometer for the cultural backlash period we're currently going through.

I know I'm bad about it. I delete my account every couple of months but I bet a dedicated person could track me down based on my posts.

Though I'll say that in the real world I've gotten more guff for not having a mainstream social media account than for openly expressing my communist views. Even lost a job offer over it once (though I consider that a bullet dodged) because I had shared with them my linkdin acct that only has my resume and they wanted to check a Facebook acct that I've never had.

The pressure-bearing components usually aren't 3D-printed, but it turns out those aren't hard to make from innocuous stuff found at any hardware store (or if you're in America just buy "spare parts" lmao).

C&C had such great mechanics, it's a shame it also came from the "every non white character has a really offensive accent" era of voice acting.

Not just the archives either. In the 80s there were people who believed that millions of political prisoners would be released by Gorbachev which obviously never happened because they didn't exist. It's kinda like people believing that there are still Vietnam War POWs after all this time.

Japan and South Korea are on another level of monopolization and consolidation. Sony has been making these moves for a while and seems set to position itself as the corporate overlord for nearly all of Japan.

I bet it's trivially easy to get that LLM to generate a bunch of super based pro-Palestine output.

By 2028 I bet fukken Code Pink and Jewish Voice for Peace will be classified as terrorist movements.

Why is China able to issue USD bonds at competitive rates to the US Treasury? Is it just because they have so many USDs lying around?
