Yeah some of them back then would probably have been able to braid more than just the hair on their head…

My wife loves Asian period dramas and this is a hugely common thing that drives me nuts. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got period clothing and scenery etc. If the “lowly common girl” has a perfect complexion, teeth, and obvious cosmetics it just breaks it.

Contrast that to i.e. J Jonah Jameson in the Tobie McGuire Spider Man movies. I was absolutely floored to see how they managed to get somebody who fit they look, attitude and mannerisms of what was pretty much a relatively low-screen-time side-character.
Actually in general I’d say the casting choices for the first two movies contributed very strongly to their success. So many of them just fit.

Ok fair point. My real issue is with fake trailers, AI generated or not.

Yeah these were annoying AF. Couldn’t look up anything movie related without done shitty AI faked up trailer YouTube video being the first hit

If your erection lasts for more than 1h, see a medical professional or stop watching the Tesla stock prices

Haven’t seen it. Good?
I should add it to my list

Yeah. The MC is a jackass but he does learn a bit over the series and there’s some depth to the thoughts on how little would react to being able to come back from dying repeatedly (and the first “training scenario”) under most scenarios.

The idea of 3D printed resurrection machines isn’t new. It’s pretty much the whole basis of the Undying Mercenaries series by B.V. Larson
- Comment on You guys have to end it 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I’ve got regular back and ankle issues. It’s annoying when they flare up but really not that bad. Unfortunately manuals are harder and harder to find so this will likely be my last

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen here. Kept expecting something “off” to happen

And totally deserved. He’s not just an ass, he’s a criminal menace.
Dude got away with fucking around in Japan but tried the same shit in Korea and is now finding out

That part I can agree with. Plus the “AI editing” bullshit.

Ruined photography?
Professionals or hobbyists can still use a proper camera but the old maxim “sometimes the best camera is the one you have with you” often applies and cellphones do fairly well in that regard
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 3 months ago:
Yeah. Calling something a sale at a price that’s not actually discounted under the regular price (with some caveats on how long it needs to be at said regular price), then yeah it’s a violation of the act. Basically false advertising.
Bumping up the regular price to cover what you’d have otherwise saved on tax is dickish but not against any regulations AFAIK
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 3 months ago:
Raising prices then advertising a “sale” at the same/higher price IS actually against the law though. Unfortunately we have terrible enforcement of these laws but they do exist:
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 4 months ago:
Some are useful. It’s not uncommon for scammers to throw up copies of legitimate sites, but hosting malware etc. Having tried to deal with Google, GoDaddy-et-al I can attest that their fucks given about such things is minimal but one of these companies can get offending sites taken down pretty quick.
The problem is when they don’t do due-diligence (and don’t face reasonable consequences for failing in said diligence) and then shit like this happens
- Comment on Anon plays spin the bottle 4 months ago:
LoL… That has the feel of getting sent to the principal’s office for something that they kinda actually agree with (or at least find amusing) but have to deal with by policy.
- Comment on Binary search 4 months ago:
And also that - depending on the format of the video and software involved - doing a “binary search” might not be that simple
With my own NVR system, it takes great quality video and I can pull files of it, but the actual interface is pretty janky to say the least, and accessing stuff like the fisheye cameras only really works well within the vendor’s app.

I dunno, I know plenty who fish as part of a general interest in outdoorsy stuff and their actually in pretty decent shape.
I think part of the fishing issue is that I don’t know so many women who actually have as much interest in such as guys, but I do know a lot of guys who don’t do have a lot of interests outside of hunting, fishing, and camping. Cool if you’re into that, but continual weekend trips involving tramping through damp bush to shoot and then skin Bambi, tenting in a mosquito swarm, and hours in a boat plus gutting fish isn’t exactly great dating for many (even if the guy did look like Chris Evans).
