That’s what Captain Disillusion’s face looks like. 🤷‍♂️

The guy playing Captain Disillusion, however, appears without face paint (well, maybe flesh coloured face paint, I’ve never been good at recognising makeup and he seems like the kind of guy that’d make sure not to have weird shines and whatnot in video, though to be fair he’s perfectly capable of fixing that in post, so who knows really) in this very video (for a short but maybe slightly too long sketch), as well as, if I recall correctly (Captain Disillusion’s videos are sadly rather infrequent, so it’s been a while), in at least one other of his videos…

Having a child is morally equivalent to aggravated murder (you’re intentionally directly causing that person’s death, as well as decades of pain and suffering), so no, breeders shouldn’t be treated differently than any other murderer (though they probably aren’t more likely to murder an already conceived person than the average citizen, which isn’t saying much).

Of course some people might adopt, and therefore are merely enabling murderers, but they’re statistically insignificant, so I’d say it’s safe to assume that anyone who has children is either a murderer or a child trafficker.

In any case, no, fuck them, they might deserve to be treated differently, but definitely not in a positive way.

how something can be both compressed and lossless at the same time

I assume most people who’ve used a computer are familiar with lossless compression formats like ZIP files.

Of course, though, it doesn’t matter how familiar an audiophile is with digital formats. They’ll still believe that more expensive cables sound better, and they’ll keep on believing that even if you show to them that they can’t tell an expensive cable from a bargain bin one in a blind test.

WizTree scans my entire drive

It doesn’t, really. It’s already indexed. It’s a feature of the NTFS file system. It’s the same way Everything Search can find files almost instantly, and what Windows Search used back when it worked properly in the Windows XP days.

Why Microsoft stopped using that and switched to whatever the current useless search function uses escapes comprehension, though it probably has something to do with them wanting to shove Bing results and other spam in there.

I really dislike the hero worship going on. For all we know, that particular dude might be a paid hitman.

Yeah, but death of the author and all that.

Maybe the guy was hired by the victim’s wife because she thought he was cheating on her or something, and the casings and whatnot are just a misdirection… but if desperate people with nothing left to lose and a lot to avenge get inspired by it and start shooting (or just harassing) CEOs, it doesn’t matter what the original reason was.

For now, American health insurance company CEOs seem to be afraid enough to remove their personal details from public sites, probably more because they see the reactions to the murder than because of the murder itself… so that’s something, at least.

Given the political situation in the USA I very much doubt anything positive will come from politicians and the corporate class learning the sheer extent to which these CEOs and their corporations and their practices are despised by the general population (if anything, they’ll attempt to tighten the yoke, which will just further radicalise people)… but revolutions have started for less.

Hanlon’s razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

That said, we’re talking cops here, who are notorious both for being malicious (ACAB) and stereotypically incompetent, often at the same time, so the usual odds (which massively favour incompetence, hence the adage) might not apply.

Also, a lot of people feel sympathy for this particular murderer (and / or enough well justified, earned, and deserved antipathy towards the victim that it overcomes what antipathy towards murderers they might normally have), so they might be aggressive towards anyone who appears to favour him getting caught.

They should eat each other. It’s the only ethical choice.

The economy will be crashing anyway.

We’re talking about Donald Trump here… you could replace him with an animatronic muppet and the only thing people would notice is that he looked healthier and didn’t smell as bad.

TL;DR:

Modern actors are incompetent self entitled imbeciles with no theatre training whatsoever who mumble their words because they think it sounds cooler.

Directors are incompetent self entitled imbeciles who believe unintelligible dialogue is more realistic, but also that drowning it in way too loud music makes the film more emotional, that sound recording equipment gets in the way of filming and should be kept as far away as possible from the action, and that if they know what the script says (because they’ve read it a thousand times) so will the audience.

Producers (and the aforementioned actors and directors) are cheap lazy incompetent self entitled imbeciles who’ll refuse to film another take claiming the useless shit they just filmed can be fixed in post (it can’t, it’s shit).

Theatres fired all competent projectionists and are now manned by lazy incompetent untrained teenagers who have no idea how to properly operate and set up the sound systems and will more often than not play the films at the wrong volume.

Streaming sites overcompress and overprocess (and overprice) the audio into an even more unintelligible noisy mess.

“Smart” TVs overprocess it even more on top of that, making it even worse. And you’re probably using the wrong settings anyway.

In short: the audio is intentionally crap, becomes even crappier in every step between filming and your ears (except, according to people working in sound processing, the sound processing step, but there’s only so much you can do to fix crappy digital audio).

Except for the music, the scenes were pretty much straight from the book:

Because they’re not pro life, they’re pro suffering.

And they want to control others (against their will if possible), so ending someone’s life and forcing someone to gestate a baby or die in the process fall in exactly the same bag.

In my case they’re facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it’s cracked.

I’m never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

recently released western cartoon that wasn’t Disney or aimed at the under 6 crowd

Invincible, Arcane, Hazbin Hotel, The Legend of Vox Machina, Solar Opposites, The Boys presents: Diabolical, Krapopolis, Castlevania, Blue Eye Samurai, Star Trek: Lower Decks… and I’m sure I’m missing plenty (I intentionally left out anything by DC since you’d probably put them in the same bag as Marvel).

Frankly, adult western cartoons are probably more popular (and much higher quality) now than they’ve ever been before…

Lemon ice cream is great, though.

Also, apples, acidic…? I hate all apples except Granny Smiths because they taste sweet and cloying as fuck… Granny Smiths are the only ones I’ve ever found with a nice acidic taste…

I’m both, and while I do hate myself, I don’t think it’s related, so I’m not sure I get it.

(I hate computers more, though, except when they’re turned off — no bugs when they’re off —, but they’re the only thing I’m good enough at to make a living off of.)
