>>51506 The olympics have almost always been a net loss to their host nation. It's only ever recouped, if that, through the leasing and renting of the facilities for decades afterward The NSDAP's facilities remain some of the prettiest built for the event; shame they're all destroyed now.

>>51506 if only someone warned them this was going to happen

Threadly reminder that Gunpei Yokoi is coming back to office this year!

>>51504 Now this I approve

>>51510 Did you guys know Yokoi planned for the Virtual Boy to be way more robust than it turned out, but Nintendo fucked his team and budget by like 80% since they wanted something out on the market faster? Neat stuff.

>>51506 I mean people knew this would happen but why did Japan want this shitfoolery to begin with? How does it do anything but bankrupt a place and waste everybodies time? Why are the olympics still a thing we celebrate nothing, no one is genuine as it's 50% niggers anyways

>>51506 Hasn't every olympic game in the last 30 years caused a huge loss to the host country? >>51514 "Realistic" 3DCG porn is plain disgusting.

>>51506 >It is forcing Japanese taxpayers to bear the cost for an Olympics that barely one in 10 of them wanted to happen, in addition to the Tokyo Organizing Committee accruing billions in debt. >The Tokyo Olympics have been increasingly unpopular among Japanese citizens. We were worried that the Olympics would cause Japan to abandon their isolationism and embrace multiculturalism, but it seems like it could have the opposite effect.

>>51506 Hasn't every olympic game in the last 30 years caused a huge loss to the host country? >>51514 "Realistic" 3DCG porn is just plain disgusting.

>>51511 >>51513 You think they really got the Yakuza to kill him in that accident following the WonderSwan? And really, how many here want to use this thread as an off topic chatroom for bullshit instead of doing anything productive with the the thread subject? We're almost at the 7th anniversary off GG as it is, and with news of Gawker resurfacing following the downfall of OAG, Techraptor, and 8chan Prime, the gears are way past needing to be greased.

>>376430 I don't understand why some people are shocked or sometimes disgusted that people often married their 3rd cousins. Its an old practice that's still been used and countries like Iceland use it more often. >>51506 Why the hell the Japs accepted the mantle of hosting the Olympics, despite that the country has an increasing debt and an aging population?

>>51517 FF7R is hardly realistic. Do you consider DOA realistic too?

>>51521 pissing off chinks was enough of a reason

>>51516 (Checked) >>51518 >>51519 >>51521 The worse part about this is this year's Olympics had really low opening numbers this time around so it was big net loss all around. I wonder how much this going to piss off the Japs and their relationship with the rest of the world? https://archive.fo/6E3HR https://archive.fo/EPutH

HaaH WaaW https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9844701/SAGE-Covid-variant-kill-one-three-people.html

>>51525 I really wish these stupid fags didn't make covid but we gotta choke the world artificially somehow right?

Post the archive next time you fucking newfag. https://archive.fo/3hF4J

>>376168 Okay, Anon, I'm home, here's the lowdown if you want to get "essential information": it's all bullshit. To be quite honest, a lot of what people consider to be "essential" when it comes to knowledge and understanding of the world are just people blowing smoke up their own behind. Philosophy is perhaps one the biggest examples of this and part of the reason why people treat it like such a joke. The sad part is that it wasn't always like that. Before many of the education institutions that Christianity established during the Middle Ages, philosophy did justify it's exist as having to pull it's weight in covering religion, science, politics, and just about the study of any field that wasn't military tactics, husbandry, and the economic market. But, that doesn't answer the question, now does? Since we're on the subject, to be quite honest, the closest material that exists when it comes to wanting to know about "philosophy" is unironic self-help people skill books. Mainly, the works by Dale Carnegie such as How to Win Friends And Influence People and How To Stop Worrying And Start Living. And, the reason why I point to him is that Carnegie's books are perhaps one of the best analyses and collections of philosophy that the world has provided. If nothing else, you should go through the books just to get a list of people and other works that have influenced much of the world's development to this era. However, if you want to see who influenced what, then just watch this doc that details how philosophy evolved throughout history: https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PLCD181CDF9DF652F7 For economics, you can find just about any textbook and it will do the work of explaining basic economics. If you want to know about application and the different markets and how they operate and how you can use them, then you're asking about something slightly different which is business. Yes, for some reason, economics courses do not cover business knowledge because who the Hell knows why. But, there's also a very simple solution. And, that reading books about businesses. Do not take that to mean that your read material, such as all those meme books any idiot can pick up at Barnes & Noble that talk about how Netflix is going to take their business to the moon and beyond. That type of trash belongs in the same bin as so-called "Self help" material like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. It's just there to take up space, and not worth spending your time on. Instead, spend read your time reading books by business people, or document how businesses have survived beyond 25-30 years. One go-to example I always refer to is Paul Getty's How To Be Rich since it actually is a business owner explaining how the markets and business work. Another easy example is Trump's The Art of the Deal, Warren Buffet's The Essays Of Lessons For Corporate America, and Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad series. In fact, I've recently acquired a copy of Ford: The Men and the Machine so that I can read up on how the Ford motor company came to dominate the market and how it's been succeeding and failing ever since. A couple other books I plan on picking up later are Half Luck and Half Brains: The Kemmons Wilson Holiday Inn Story and Eric Jackson's The PayPal Wars. Also, there are works like Robert Evan's The Kid Stays in the Picture that provides all the nitty-gritty details behind Hollywood and their business, and leaves people distraught over how the film industry really operates. Moving onto politics it cannot be stressed enough that you just need to read history books. That is it, just read history. There's a saying that goes, "History is politics and philosophy in action," and there's no better way to describe it. However, be aware that they are TWO types of history that you're going to have to read: recorded history and traditional history. Recorded history is what "history" has been since the start of the 20th century, it's history that's based solely on facts and figures, and anything deemed somewhat "questionable" about it's validity is either scrutinized or ignored (Majority of the time). So, it can go without saying that just read as many history books as you'll can and you see how nothing has ever really changed. However, with this strictness to the understanding of history, it has also resulted in losing entire swaths of historical knowledge and understanding. To remedy this, however, you're going to pull up traditional history. These are works like Xenophon's, Livy's, and Strabo's records of the history. And, this history is also going to be going over the various myths and legends of the world like the classic Greek tragedies and Japan's Kojiki. Perhaps the best compilation of the West's development of traditional history would have to be Charles Rollin's The Ancient history, but there are probably loads of other books you can read as well. Hope this helps getting you started.

>>51526 I wonder how long it will be until countries start conglomerating and power gets concentrated into fewer hands. >>51527 They should have tried to fear monger harder and gone for 1/2 or something.

>>51531 Good thing I don't have one.

>>51528 Also, I forgot to mention, just go through this list of classical literature (As well as the rest of the works belonging to the author's featured, and all the material mentioned in these books, and all the material mentioned in the previous post) and it will fill in the rest of the blanks: https://infogalactic.com/info/100_Classic_Book_Collection

>>51520 I agree, but also what's there to do aside from watch people fuck up on their own? I'd argue keeping a discussion alive about real-world corporate news and the politics behind stuff vidya-related is exactly what GG was all about in the first place.

>>51532 checkd Also who knows but the idea of one world government has been on the books since before probably most of us existed.

>>51522 Don't play retard. Notice he put "realistic" in quotes? It's quite obvious that leans far more toward realism in facial design than the average anime girl, even though it's obvious not real. It looks creepy and ugly, especially the loli's face.

Didn't even realize the last thread was way past done.

>>51536 >before most of us existed You know anyone who was around when the Tower of Babel was still up? Are there some fucking antediluvian vampire anons posting right now?

>>51535 Operation Organic Activity? >>>/site/2992 It -might- be helpful in gathering enough people that may be interested in digging and then forming newer and stronger alternative networks. Set up a gaming news site aside from Nichegamer to replace OAG, maybe even ask Mark in conducting new AMAs with anyone willing to step forward. If OP DisNod is defunct, how is Trajan and Life and Hometown doing? As for the aforementioned One Angry Gamer, Deepfreeze could use updating if the new site owners are doinng anything funky.

>>51539 yeah right here I survive off meat and not blood though.

>>51533 Stop avatarfagging!

>>376596 I don't want to be that guy, but a lot of these are half truths. >Disney failed to meat subscriber numbers They were projected to reach 110 million by Q2 of 2021 instead they reached only 103.6 million. That's only a 6% difference, they still gained 8.7 million paying customers in one business quarter. >Loss of 100s of millions due to covid along with several lawsuits. Again, kind of a drop in the bucket for the Mouse, they had total revenue in 2020 of 65 billion dollars, with 8 billion in income, losing a hundred million dollars in failed movies due to the chink coof, doesn't matter (especially since they made that up multiple times over from Disney+ subscribtions). Plus afaik, they get dozens of lawsuits from all sorts of people every year, they practice treat them as a business expense. >Blizzard's reputation as a game company being dead in the water, This one I don't disagree with at all. Even normalfags are starting to view Blizzard on par with the EAs, Ubisofts, Activisions and Tencents of the gaming industry. >marvel losing viewers post end game. That's because, before Black Widow came out, they hadn't released a singe new Marvel movie since June of 2019. There are literally 8 more marvel movies in production right now. >Comics are dying Again, no disagreement there. But the reason this is the case is because amount of money Marvel and DC are losing on their comic division is trivial and they'd lose a lot more in PR by shutting them down. So they'd rather keep it as a pool for supporting their crony friends and political allies than save a few bucks by axing it. >Emmys reaching all time low viewership This isn't wrong, but only part of it is due to people getting tired of pozzed entertainment. For the Emmys specifically, it has actually been in consistent decline in the mid 80s.

>>51544 it's okay lad I eat 2.5 cows a day but don't tell anyone you know that.

>>51543 (checked) Thanks for the introspection, just wanted to be optimistic. Egg on my face for being naïve.

>>51543 >There are literally 8 more marvel movies in production right now.

>>376168 >>51528 Here's two more that I would recommend. One classic for learning economics, and one a classic of the basics of personal finance. >>51506 >>51508 It wasn't always the case that the Olympics lose money for the host city. In this case, Tokyo is getting fucked because the International Olympic Committee told them that they're not allowed to sell ANY TICKETS WHAT SO EVER which is absolutely insane. But most of the olympics in the 80s were profitable, like 84 in LA, 82 in Calgary and 88 in Seoul. This was for two reason, firstly in these cases the government just got private companies to fork up a lot of the money to build shit in return for advertising. Secondly, and this is the more important one, the IOC started mandating more and more things for the olympics to be held, more money had to be spent on bigger and better stadiums, more money on security, more money on regulations and so on. You aren't allowed to only spend a modest amount of money, which is why most cities don't bother bidding unless they have financial support from the national government.

>>51506 Nationalism has been on the rise in Japan for some time. Three of their core tenants are to 1) Restore the Emperor to the Head of State, 2) Restore a Traditional Education, 3) Remilitarize. Japan's nationalist movement has been growing more popular as the nation faces several economic hardships from 30 years of bad banking policies along with bad governmental policies. To offer a comparison to what will soon befall Japan we look toward Brazil. In 2016 Brazil hosted the Olympic games at a cost of $13 Billion dollars. Figures are difficult to come by at exactly how much debt this saddled Brazil with, but the economic reality was the city of Rio despite the Olympic Committee's Researchers insistence otherwise was broke three months post Olympics. The facilities began falling apart as they could not be maintained and within a year the power for the facilities was shut off because they could not pay the electric bill to run the place. https://archive.ph/wip/9m3kj https://archive.ph/wip/B8mLK https://archive.ph/ELu61 The impact and loss of revenue for the government led to economic hardships. Well not entirely by themselves as the government as running the country into the ground and believed the Olympics would be the hail Mary to save the countries floundering economic situation. https://archive.ph/wip/vSoHA Populism and nationalism rose through 2017 and 18 to culminate in the election of conservative President Jair Bolsonaro. More commonly referred to as Brazilian Trump. By comparison, Japan has suffered under wildly unpopular legal and economic decisions by the central government. 1991-2021 are referred to as the "Lost Decades" as a result of these decisions. Now add to that a thirty-billion-dollar debt from Olympics most didn't want to hold. Olympics that caused the government to persecute cultural institutions and practices in order to appease and appeal to the international community. Olympics that went woke and had the worse ratings in the history of the Olympics signaling to the entire world the Japanese are weak ineffective people incapable of managing a centuries-old institution. You can expect populism and nationalism to rise in Japan the same as it has in America, Brazil, parts of Europe, and other parts of the world. Many politicians will be thrown from office or unelected. It is entirely possible the nationalists will win and Japan will be remilitarized, reseat their Emperor, and restore an education model that teaches children their place in a functional society. As shocking as it may sound, if you do not teach children to have a place they will not function as adults. With China's economic hardship and internal strife building. This could lead to Japan returning to being the regional superpower. That though is getting ahead of ourselves and is a topic for another day.

>>51543 Don't forget most of their subscribers are either paying nothing in India or receive it for free thanks to the Verizon deal.

>>51549 But their emperor is a kid isnt he? And its just his third or fourth year, if the Reiwa era is an accurate measure, of knowing jackshit besides looking cool.

>>51532 >I wonder how long it will be until countries start conglomerating and power gets concentrated into fewer hands. Doing that would be too obvious. They know this. So instead they have all countries they control/influence behave in lock-step and march to the same tune, with only regional variations in tempo and rhythm. You didn't think the one world government was going to be everyone in one "country" did you? What's the point of going that far, when every country relies on a single central bank that sets all the rules? Check out the IMF's requirements for national governments getting wuflu handouts and you'll see the pattern clear as day.

>>51547 I looked into it a bit more and apparently I'm wrong, it's actually worse than 8 movies it's 13 MOVIES, and 11 TV shows. Films >Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings >The Eternals >Spider-Man: 3 >Doctor Strange 2 >Thor: 4 >Black Panther: 2 >Captain Marvel 2 >Ant-Man 3 >Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 >A Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Short Film >Fantastic Four 4? >Blade 4? >Captain America 4 TV Shows >What if... >Hawkeye >Ms. Marvel >She Hulk >Moonknight >Secret Invasion >Ironheart >Armorwars >I am Groot >An Unnamed Black Panther Show >A SECOND Unnamed Black Panther Show >>51550 That's true, I forgot that those numbers include people with free trials and people who get it for free through their TV Providers/ISPs. So it's not quite as bad as I made it out to be.

I've been reading through founding MegaTen developer Kazunari Suzuki's latest tweets, and found this one pretty interesting. I don't know much about Asian history, so can someone redpill me on this? Are Tongzhou photos really being misappropriated for Chinese propaganda?

>>51549 >if you do not teach children to have a place they will not function as adults You mean if you don't brainwash children, they won't become slaves.

>>51553 >Black Panther 2 >An Unnamed Black Panther Show >A SECOND Unnamed Black Panther Show Man, they're REALLY trying to milk the shit out of that character.

>>51553 Most will be cancelled and those that do get produced will flop.

>>51554 >Tongzhou Massacre I fucking never heard of this one. This is new to me.

>>51555 If you don't brainwash children to become independent and critically thinking individuals than they'll become self-absorbed lefties who think they have all the answers because they were given them.

>>51557 I hope so

How did the other thread fill up so fast? I wasn't around for the last 300 posts

>>51562 Blame this guy.

>>51563 why do I suddenly feel so sad.

>>51562 The topics were actually all over the place, but yeah the spike in activity was probably a bunch of /cow/tards crawling out of the woodwork to spread the word of a CWC shocking report.

>>51565 >a bunch of /cow/tards crawling out of the woodwork to spread the word of a CWC shocking report Dude, there's a pinned thread about CWC on this board (>>375981). Mark himself brought the topic to /v/.

>>51566 I can't imagine anybody but psuedo-goon faggots, people who's only comfort from their own lives being the mockery of another's, giving fuck number one about this sad pile of human excrement. The fact that it got stickied is another of the ten million black marks on cakekike's record.

>>51569 cool

>>51554 If he thinks the Rape of Nanking was fabricated I wouldn't put trust in what he claims is dishonest or not. There's not really a lack of photos and eyewitnesses for that, though there was some exaggeration of the number of victims. >>51565 It was just the usual suspect putting out bait and people taking it and engaging in inane arguments, nothing to do with Chris-chan.

>>51570 Glad to hear that, anon. Glad that you're free from the shackles of conformity.

I have a question for the alternatives list! Given the revelation about LBRY/Odysee requiring a fee in order for users to post a video, I was wondering if it is still worth having on the list. In addition to that, have any other Anons tested out the other video sites listed: >AVideo: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo >BitTube: https://bittube.tv/ >D.tube: https://d.tube/ >MediaGoblin: https://mediagoblin.org/ >VidLii: https://www.vidlii.com/

>>376734 >the faggot ex-Prime Minister that wanted to turn Japan into a pozzed dystopia. The fuck are you talking about? Abe wanted to make Japan great again by making marriage and families the center of public culture, again. It was a huge break away from the previous PMs making everything about continuing the broken welfare system that has been in place since the 20's.

>>51560 No, they don't turn into lefties. They turn into free adults that don't let the mob dictate their personal lives out of arbitrary "duties to the society".

>>51575 vidlii is still good, they don't seem to ban anything and you can find tons of moonman videos there.and also spam

>>51584 That's already released I think.

>>51554 >Are Tongzhou photos really being misappropriated for Chinese propaganda? Probably, but Japan really was the aggressor back then. This happened back in 1937, and, for context, this was after Japan had already invaded Manchuria, and was planning to invade China. And, you can read up on the incident here: https://infogalactic.com/info/Tungchow_mutiny If you want a summary, here's what went down: <Kuomintang sent a portion of the Chinese army to guide against the East Hopei government <East Hopei government is a puppet government for the Japanese army <East Hopei government wanting to be independent again made deal with Kuomintang <Chinese army guarded the East Hopei wall for several weeks to prevent Japanese army movement <Japanese army demanded that the Chinese army surrender <Chinese army refused <Japanese army order an all-out attack <Chinese army refused to back down <East Hopei division of the Japanese army switched sides to help the Chinese after being inspired by their vigilance in defending from the Japanese <City burned to the ground as a result of the conflict <260 civilians lost their lives <Unknown number of how many soldiers were killed in either side <Japan used the incident as an excuse for why they should intensify the war with China

>>51572 Not believing in laughable atrocity propaganda is a plus not a negative.

>>51591 >>51590 sounds cool man

>>51586 >>51558 It's usually called "The Tungchow incident". Red commie China uses photos of these victims as well as Japanese nuclear bomb victims in their fake as fuck museum to the victims of Nanking Massacre. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungchow_mutiny

>>51590 It'd still be cool.

>>51586 >>51593 Just goes to show that china shills exist even on a pissant imageboard like this. I wonder if we're going to get that guy that posts how China is more free than the west because you can do things like sell baby formula with lead in it or any other awful thing so long as you kowtow to the ruling party.

I read up on what Chris Chan did and I'm honesty speechless. I thought this was anons pulling a fast one or foxdicks farms fucking with people but it's true and I honestly have no idea what to say about the Screeching twenties at this point.

>>51595 CHINA NUMBAH WUN!

>>51575 AVideo and MediaGoblin are frameworks that can be used to deploy your own video sharing website. Acid and codexx toyed with AVideo for a while on a spare domain (redchannit.com) but dropped it, probably because video websites consume lots of resources. I think Gab's video service uses one of these two as a base. D.tube is where the chinks who had access to Hunter Biden's laptop uploaded videos about his dick and other nasty photos. It's FAQ page says that it's decentralized and uses a blockchain + IPFS to store and serve content, and has a shitcoin (DTC) like LBRY. Can't tell about how "pro free speech" they really are, but their trending page has more variety than shit like Bitchute (which is 95% /pol/ stuff). I haven't used BitTube in the past, but from a quick look at their about page and videos I'm assuming that it is similar to LBRY but with more /pol/ and /biz/ fags. According to its about page it transmits content via BitTorrent and has a shitcoin named TUBE. It also mentions something about letting you create your own instance (like PeerTube I guess), but I haven't read enough about it. bittube.video seems to be the "official" instance of the project. VidLii aims to be like how YouTube was in 2005-2007 in both interface and content. Unlike other sites, it has centralized servers and doesn't seem to have a way to monetize content (not even ads). From their ToS one can figure out that this site is focused on serving "normal" content rather than on topics that are getting b& from YouTube and find a home in "alt-tech" websites. Also for some reason there are lots of videos in Spanish. Personally, I'd use VidLii for "normalfag-tier" stuff like uploading the lyrics of a song, a video of my cat or a poorly made let's play, and PeerTube, D.tube or BitTube for less kosher content, depending on their policies. Completely self-hosted sites really aren't an option unless you can and want to spend thousands every month in electricity bills, servers on the middle of nowhere and bandwidth.

>>51595 The chinese government (others, too) has a lot of money and can afford to monitor and push disinformation to lots of relatively small non-mainstream web sites. It doesn't cost much, either, when your nation has billions of spare bodies and a totalitarian government to tell them what to do. If there's even a small chance of the information landing in fertile soil, it doesn't hurt them at all to sew it, and even a handful of people eating extra disinformation floating around is helpful in contributing to the kind of chaos that disrupts the communities they don't like. The returns are extremely low, but the cost is also extremely low.

>>51528 >>51548 My thanks, anon. Mainly I just felt a bit self concious lately because I've stopped working out for a couple of months I'd like to say for health reasons but I also got lazy after a while and noticed that yes in fact I was making some gains and was looking and feeling much better about my self, and figured if I could just spend some more time and effort working on myself more I would probably have a better life. Even if I don't really make much use of this information at the very least I'd feel better about myself not drawing a complete blank on the subject.

>>51514 And people say you can't figure out whether a loli artist is a pedo by looking at their art.

>>51525 That's not how coronaviruses work. If they did then the other four common cold coronaviruses would have already wiped the population by now. Unless they already have an artificial killer strain and this is them threatening to release it.

>>51613 Even for dogshit like Cheetos that's a god damn utter waste of food.

>>51614 How do you think I feel I was trained in fine arts and I mean actual fine arts like oil paints and proper drawings.

>>51610 Or it's a cover for long-term vaccine deaths.

>>51615 I don't know, what if someone just decides to smear painting oils on their ass and then grind against a canvas for two hours, I figure the same value would be produced as that shitty "I poured that much cheetos on the floor" project.

>>376868 Nice spoiler faggot

>>51617 I've seen retards do that in a gallery and I wanted to go full 1488.

Yeah the vols are doing a great job of cleaning up the Chris Chan thread. Acid/Mark need to hire more to cover the early mornings.

>>51621 I've already fucking reported it twice.

>>51622 Yeah I did it once myself. Mark just hire another fucking vol, it isn't rocket science.

>>51623 but how can he guarantee itll be another deletion-happy butt buddy like kazu? he cant take that risk

>>51624 If itd get child porn off the front page Id gladly clone kazu.

>>51625 i implore you to reconsider

>>51626 A month ago I would never consider it. But no fuck them I'm tired of these pedoshits niggering up every fucking thread every goddamn day. I'd take an army of kazus over this.

>>51624 >he cant take that risk As opposed to the risk that pedofags pose? >>51627 Fuck at this point I'd take the Tengoo over this shit being up every other night.

>>51575 >>51601 >D.tube is where the chinks who had access to Hunter Biden's laptop uploaded videos about his dick and other nasty photos. It's FAQ page says that it's decentralized and uses a blockchain + IPFS to store and serve content, and has a shitcoin (DTC) like LBRY. Can't tell about how "pro free speech" they really are, but their trending page has more variety than shit like Bitchute (which is 95% /pol/ stuff). I browsed a couple videos on DTube -- literally the majority of their shit are just Jewtube embeds (hell, I searched "Mario" for uploaded OSTs and videos Jewtube shoahed are still dead when you click). There's a couple Dtube originals if you search something that physically couldn't be uploaded on Jewtube like "sex" or something, but it's largely just Yewtube as far as I can gather.

>>51543 > There are literally 8 more marvel movies in production right now. But who's to say any or all of those movies are going to do well? They really can't take the Avengers anywhere else after the Thanos plot is now over. Not to mention that all the popular Avengers are either dead or retired. I'm sure Guardians 3 will do well but no body gives a fuck about Antman or Carol Danvers.

>>51632 We could have had some good mileage from a Henry Pym Antman, but the faggots in charge of Marvel are still mad about the slap, and would never give us the emotional roller-coaster of a mad scientist playing superhero.

>>51631 He doesn't give a shit about that, only about ass-kissers giving him headpats for "taking care of it". Look at his "I'm quitting sometime maybe probably not" attention thread.

>>51634 that he then locked after he had nutted and went flaccid

>>51635 Only because the ass-pats started to run dry and he had a convenient excuse in the form of "preventing meta-posting" that he directly invited with that sort of sticky. Maybe he's legitimately not around enough, but I doubt he cares about his own availability so much as the adulation of being praised as "the BO /v/ has accepted as best". His behavior can be really self-serving sometimes.

>>376906 >I tottaly ain't fappnig it to the CP gamergoyim! If your gonna pedopost at least do it honestly /cattle/. Way to implicate yourself.

>>51616 >>51610 It falls right in line with one of the former CEOs of pfizer warning that animals they experimented on all died, 100%, if they received a coronavirus vaccine before being exposed to a live virus. All the news networks are claiming this super contagious variant (which somehow made it's way from India to the middle of missouri in spite of existing mask mandates, screening all passengers for covid prior to flight travel, often requiring proof of vaccination, distancing rules, which would only prove none of those tactics even worked) is super dangerous for anyone unvaccinated because they're only seeing reports of hospitalizations for the unvaccinated, except the CDC stated they are no longer tracking any cases where people are fully vaccinated because it's "skewing the data". The most hilarious part is what I just heard on one news network: >Ticker headline: Vaccinated people are spreading the same viral load that unvaccinated people are spreading, so we need to reinforce mask mandates again. >Speaker: If it wasn't for half of the population already being vaccinated the spread would have been much worse by now. We're supposed to believe that the vaccines are somehow beating the virus and protecting against variants while simultaneously being told the vaccinated are spreading the 'variant' equally as much as anyone unvaccinated, so now the unvaccinated need to be vaccinated to protect the already vaccinated but then you have to put your mask back on because the vaccinated are also spreading the variant, and we have no data on whether it's even effective at preventing death because the hospitals are not required to track "breakthrough cases" of vaccinated people getting sick and dying?

NPR changes ethics policy to allow journalists to participate in some protests if they are for the right kind of cause, no longer asks them to avoid personally advocating for controversial or polarizing issues >New NPR Ethics Policy: It's OK For Journalists To Demonstrate (Sometimes) https://archive.is/QwZfy The revised policy: https://archive.is/KvwdQ The "Impartiality" section: https://archive.is/S62o8 Somehow this manages to be considerably worse than if they simply allowed any kind of private political activity. The exception is so broad it could in theory include anything. Supporting economic deregulation and the 2nd amendment is "human freedom". Being either pro-life or pro-choice is "human dignity". Opposing social media censorship of independent news outlets is freedom of the press (and this becomes more explicitly political when it's the government telling the companies what "misinformation" to censor). Opposing racial discrimination includes opposing the government recently trying to give black farmers money for being black, opposing affirmative action, and indeed opposing BLM given the racially discriminatory policies the BLM organization (and others using that slogan) espouse. (The NPR article about the policy explicitly mentions BLM as something they should be allowed to *support*.) In practice of course everyone knows it means supporting the "social justice" politics of those who wrote and enforce the policy while barring politics that they oppose, so a policy supposedly about forcing reporters to remain impartial demonstrates the lack of impartiality from the organization itself.

>>51658 >rabbit girls with tits and ass An ara Tewi is fine too. >>51661 It's nice and long.

>>51664 >An ara Tewi is fine If there's one thing I loathe more than VTubers, it's off model art. Specifically the "slap massive tits on it" variation.

boy i sure do love every second post on my bibeo jaym board being about covid :D

>>51665 While I agree that on model art is usually the superior choice, it's a trait not commonly shared shared amongst Touhou artists. Erotic ZUN-style art is pretty rare to come across. In any case, Touhou is a setting that allows for your own interpretations. It's a freedom granted to the doujin community that's rarely seen anywhere else. With the basic framework given from the series, people are able to fill in the gaps with their own ideas, and create their own personalized setting with it. While the Touhou community at large has the same general idea on what characters are like (Meiling is lazy, Yuugi has massive tits, Ran acts very motherly to Chen, etc.), that doesn't have to restrict anyone from turning those notions on their head in their own works.

>>51670 There are degrees of on-modelness. Style and overall proportions can be treated separately.

>>51665 What about loli versions of characters?

>>51665 Kill yourself faggot.

>>51673 2DPD.

>>51672 What about them?

>>51676 Where the big tiddie lolis at?

>>51673 No, it isn't. You saw only those "acceptable" posts because the cake kike always left those intact after swisscheesing a thread

>>51677 Oh shit, it's Mr. Creosote

>>51670 Understandable. Just raising an objection. I really do hate when an artist feels that giving a perfectly flat character tits the size of her head is an "improvement". >>51672 My objection is to significantly altered proportions to a character's original form, usually for the sake of "appeal", from what I can guess. Jerking off to a loli Chifusa would feel off, for instance. >>51673 Faggots with little self-awareness being faggots. >>51677 In Hell.

>>51671 Style aside, it was a very, very long time before ZUN learned to draw breasts on his girls.

>>51676 Technically the full-size version is still only 10 years old.

>>51681 ZUN's shit scribbles always make me chuckle.

>>51706 Always say fuck to China.

>>51706 CHINA NUMBAH WAN AND CHINA NUMBAH TWO CHINA IS PEE PEE POO POO

>>51706 How's that new famine going for them? Actually I don't know of any famine, but I hear the Delta Covid is also hitting them.

>>51706 >>51708 (checked) The People's Republic of China is an illegitimate state, the legitimate Chinese government resides in Taiwan.

>>51705 I would fuck you.

The various biblical style plagues and disasters (that occur to them on a increasingly more frequent rate) keep fucking them and their farmers.

>>51714 At this point I don't believe anything can kill China as a country. They have an eternity of shittiness preserved with fake plastic meat and placebo chinese traditional medicine.

>>51715 China would most likely be the one to kill China.

>>51712 Subtle.

>>51713 Post it, that others may remember my disgust

>>51718 I don't have it, I just remembered (and I wish I didn't).

>>51714 >>51715 >>51716 A second chernobyl would do it. Given that everything in China is run by the government and the nuclear powerplants there are likely considered the "pride" of chinese advancement, a little big ol boom scattering radioactive matierial into nearby areas with elephant's foot level ash carried with the wind and you have a recipe for a complete internal awakening and likely the start of the last straw for the Chinese people, if it doesn't instantly result in a complete shakeup. The chinese people are so unempathetic or at least so powerless that the only thing that could shake them is something that disastrous and dangerous. As >>51716 said, it might be the natural result of what will happen given >>51714 's news reports. I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that and that the Chinese will awaken on their own, though. That's just how I see it going down at this rate. If the virus didn't inspire something, something worse has to happen in time. It's like a cyclical thing, chaos theory. It's happened in other countries with different disasters or upsets.

>>51720 I want to believe, but until I don't see results I won't risk getting another disappointment. Still it would be fun. Anyway, how safe would the rest of the world be from a second Chernobyl in the middle of China? Not sure if it was exagerated, but the first Chernobyl looked really really bad.

>>51721 The rest of the world? Very safe. China? the cities would be absolutely fucked, though the rural folk will survive since most of their country is used to living without power. Given that most of China's power comes from their city states, not good for them either. The areas around Chernobyl still have 20,000 years to go, and radioactive dust from those places would reach a fuckhuge area around it, that's a shitton of territory lost, Chernobyl from my light research into it had unlivable status 18 miles around the explosion, which is 1017 miles of territory total, and that's not even territory either since the dust from the place would still spread around it in irregular patterns due to the wind. It's not safe to be within 30 miles of the 18 mile dust radius for that reason, anyone close to the the territory, even at the border, will suffer effects like highly increased chances of cancer, stillbirth and so on. The 18 miles is just the "Fuck you you die in here" radius, outside it's no telling how far the death dust of Chernobyl reaches and how badly it effects people. It would be more than a 1000 square miles of lost territory and a 1000 miles is already major.

>>51721 >Anyway, how safe would the rest of the world be from a second Chernobyl in the middle of China? If I were a spoiled brat with to much power leading a billion spoiled brats and something just fucks our collective shit up, we'd probably start WW3 because "no other countries can be more grorious than us". How incompetent is the chink army?

>>51722 Well, as far as I know China and most of continental Asia is a big plain, but wont the radioactive dust reach Russia or the sea? >>51723 I mean mostly radiation spreading. I fear also that retards bought by the CCP would shit things up just because they allowed the Corona leave China.

>>51721 Lines of production everywhere would get fucked hard. From food processing lines to chip factories, it would be a damn mess that would hit the economy of China and the countries that make lots of business with it (like USA).

If chinese history is anything to go by, just wait 50 years and watch them murder each other by the millions in a massive civil war for like the 20th time.

>>51514 >>51608 It's 3DCG of a futa Tifa buttfucking a loli (Tifa?). It's that really weird rendering style with no real texture or shading that makes everything look really plastic-y. >>51721 Relatively safe. iirc there have been worse incidents than Chernobyl, even one in good old England 70 some years ago.

>>51727 Can we have the chinese boil in a radioactive stew without affecting the planet or the rest of asia? Maybe Hong Kong could get its independence once again.

>>51728 >without affecting the planet or the rest of asia Nope. >Chinese government has plans to build more across the sparsely populated deserts and plains of western China, as well as up to 30 in countries involved in China's "Belt and Road" initiative — a global investment program that will see China invest in the infrastructure of 70 countries

>>51732 I don't know, dubsman. But looking at him makes me want to pre-order a copy of The Elder Scrolls® V:Skyrim™ 10th anniversary edition. It's already been ten years since Skyrim came out.

>>51726 Yeah, pretty much.

>>51726 I think there's a real danger of China getting overtaken by something like Skynet. Think about it: >leading researcher on AI >already controls its popullation technologically via social credit social credit on its own is already totalitarian in unprecedented ways >which is already determined automatically >low value for human life >poor oversight, cutting corners even on important government projects >developing their own millitary drones >huge amounts of processing infrastructure including silicon It's only a matter of time until major strategic thinking will be outsourced to AI. The question is how much direct influence it will end up with and what the most desirable result will be.

>>51738 Oh and one more thing: >amassing vast amounts of data for training AI, both through monitoring its own citizens and through chink data harvesting services in the western world

>>51738 They can get away with anything, lie cheat, steal, whatever. Everything they say is fake. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. For instance, the crew of the Challenger Shuttle are all alive and well. I don’t know how this shit doesn’t whig people out. I remember them dying in the explosion. Nope. They’re fine.

>>51748 Who's Dick Scobee?

>>51751 Challenger astronaut who is alegedly still alive.

>>51748 Of course theres 0 hits, youre searching for an exact string of a literally who historical figure. Just googling his name yielded a wikipedia page detailing his 1986 Challenger death. What issue are you seeing here??

>>51753 Nevermind I just read the thread. Interesting. Why would they cover that up?

>>51754 Who the hell knows. This is some Deus Ex shit.

>>51754 >Why would they cover that up? How would we know? That's the whole point of covering it up. The right question is why there are 4 old people that look just like those people and have almost the same names and are alive.

>>51756 Maybe they all have twin brothers

>>51757 That were given the same name?

>>51740 Sometimes people look similar to other people, sometimes people have similar names to other people, and if you look hard enough you can find people who are both. While vaguely similar they don't even look exactly the same, there are differences in facial structure (and if they got cosmetic surgery to explain those differences they would have at least changed their names). They have their own lives and histories predating the explosion, Richard Scobee was already a CEO when it happened. It just means that there are some pretty big coincidences out there if people look hard enough. Like the latitude of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the speed of light, which this blog posts uses as an example of this sort of thing: http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/11/05/the-pyramid-and-the-garden/

>>51759 Why don't you trust your lying eyes anon?

>>51759 Maybe we are in a simulated universe.

>>51756 Six, actually. Only one is missing.

>>377344 Did he died?

>>51762 The japanese guy has a different name though?

>>51741 Woa I wish that was me

>>51760 Are you just bling to eyebrows and ears, or what? Do you not notice the cleft nose? The more rounded chin? It's similar, but without plastic surgery, it ain't the same guy, and if they went as far as plastic surgery, I'm betting they'd have done a name change.

>>51765 Same, I wish I was as cool as he is.

>>51740 Are you even surprised at this point?

>>51760 His nose is different, his ears are different, half the reason they look similar is they happen to be grinning for the picture in the same way. If people on the internet comb through everyone with the same name until they find one that looks similar of course they'll find someone. But you're not claiming similar, you're claiming literally the same person, and there's enough differences even from the photo to tell they aren't.

>>51762 >>51764 The Japanese and black guy are literally the brothers of the astronauts. I wonder if there's some reason besides impersonation plots why brothers might have similar faces and names? https://archive.is/ELWxq

>>51745 I still don't get it, and subsequent replies in this thread are confusing me more.

>>51759 Man, some people take the "there are no coincidences" thing way too far now.

>>51772 Once is an instance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times, four, five? Ok buddy.

>>51773 One is fun Two? Suspect a Jew Three, not just me Four? Stop! No more Five? How are these fuckers still alive

>>51599 what's freaky about that gif is the artist animated everyone else except her jaw so it looks weird when she talks and her jawline does not move

>>51772 Appropriately enough Scott Alexander (author of the blog post I linked) apparently enjoys weird coincidences/correspondences/numerology/puns and wrote a webnovel with the reoccurring line of "This was not a coincidence because nothing is ever a coincidence."

https://archive.is/j95SJ https://archive.is/Ir2c2 Giuseppe Nelva, former Dualshockers writer, current Twinfinite, and one of the better journos out there (that calls out censorship and bad localization more then most), got the usual suspects upset for pointing out bad localization in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. The only thing notable about this drama is that Katrina person trying to jump in and playing victim, she's the one that keeps trying to defend garbage localization.

>>51779 >but not really for less significant figures Meant for less digits before the decimal point.

>>51729 I thought that the Chinese were only building coal plants outside of China.

China? Challenger? Kikes? Chris Chan? VIDEO GAMES?!?!?!

>>51783 Why'd Benny make the Trump supporter so fat

>>51784 Sonichu is vidya.

>>51784 since when the the fuck do we talk about video games?

>>51784 What the fuck is a video game?

>>51788 I wish I had a smaller benis

>>51789 Everything I like is a videogame.

>>51779 Am I the only one who has serious trouble reading long walls of greentext on Yotsuba B? Now, I am visually impaired but this is a bit too much, it hurts my eyes.

>>51639 Devils advocate: You can be a carrier without having symptoms and still infect others. Carrier and Infected are not the same

>>51790 Why, are you one of those faggots that's only a bottom because your huge cock can't fit into most boyholes?

>>51779 >speed of light in a vacuum being used but then using the 1600s definition of the meter, even though the value for the speed of light that he gives was at a time that this 1600s definition had long since fallen out of use The current definition of the meter was selected to be the same length as the old meter, so its length depends on the old definition. The current definition of the meter is literally "the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 of a second". If it wasn't defined for backwards compatibility they would just chosen 1/300000000 or something and the speed of light would be a round value with no resemblance to the latitude of the pyramids. >six matching matching digits translating to "literally one-in-a-million chance" Yes it does. >it also shouldn't really matter what units it is in, since, unless non-linear, you can simply multiply the result by a certain conversion factor X to convert it into other units, which would allow to get that 299,792,458 m/s value after you multiply the ångström/jiffy value with it Units matter because there isn't any natural conversion between speed and fucking latitude, it only matches because we happen to use meters and seconds of a certain length along with a specific coordinate system. It would no longer be an impressive coincidence if you had to multiply by 1.0006922855 to get them to match >aliens I don't know what you have against mentioning aliens when "aliens built the pyramids, as proven by them encoding the speed of light" is the idea being discussed. >people they are trying to make themselves appear superior to Keep in mind the overall point of the blog post is not so much whether aliens built the pyramids but how sufficient amount of effort can dig up impressive coincidences that are difficult to explain away even for other subjects. If even the ancient aliens people can find a coincidence like that to support their theory, it shows that a more plausible theory supported by something similarly unlikely could also just be a coincidence.

>>51794 This is common knowledge in medicine, the terminology you likely mean being infected but not being a case ie. requiring any sort of treatment.

>>51795 No I'm only 5.5' long but I like to see it small and sad looking

>>51796 Forgot picture.

>>51794 >You can be a carrier without having symptoms and still infect others. Yeah...Anon, people have know about that shit for decades. It's the reason why half of the American-Indians dropped dead when a heathy white guy had to clear his throat. The problem, however, is that the entire narrative surrounding Corona-chan and it's nature is being stretched to such an extent, that you have to be an invalid to not notice that the media and the politicians are contradicting themselves every other week.

>>51795 If I had the gay (which I DON'T) where would I find these types of uh, people?

>>51801 Most of the time it's people with daddy issues, or had a broken childhood to the point where they always had to be an adult, so becoming a bottom means they can give up control for a while. I knew an ambulance medic that was into hard bdsm and puppy play, for example

>>51801 brazil, if ricardo is anything to go by

In the latest chapter of west taiwan counterbully.

>>51796 >>51799 A better piece of evidence about the existence of Atlantis/Mu/whatever is how Rongorongo looks very similar to Indus valley script. I think there is a kernel of truth about the idea of some ancient lost, possibly cosmopolitan, civilization existed but I think that so much time has passed and so many legends built up that it's hard to extract the truth at this point. Maybe impossible unless someone were to discover a literal La-Mulana out there somewhere.

>>51794 I would think it stands to reason that to be a carrier you have to be infected.

>>51780 >Dualshockers I still don't know how did he let that site go to shit. He started competing with Gematsu and to some real good traction, then started hiring the usual bunch of diversity hires, danger haired faggots and white knight neckbeards until they banned everything they didn't like, then he just left.

>>51807 >>51786 Is he doing it again?

>>51792 Use the Inter or Atkinson fonts, in my opinion they have better legibility than the default ones (Arial and Helvetica). @font-face { font-family: Atkinson-Hyperlegible-Regular; src: url('/.media/2f4f30c5c0e78df6f37cc951f195ef91d5504361b17e26aef2b78a8d7d5fd95f'); } @font-face { font-family: Inter-Regular; src: url('/.media/e9a18de6b1a417510a7a4c50196c836391606c4b03ca8f81c071d66fdd8a8c7c); } /* Sets the fonts to the whole site, you may want to toy with the CSS to set them only on specific parts.

>>51810 I mean as far as image borders go, its better than alternatives, but the contrast with the background is too high for my taste, and the rounded corners cut off part of the image.

>>51812 >image borders Ackshually, the correct term is "anons".

>>51811 arigato, tor-kun

>>51814 I was just wondering if everyone had filtered tor after last night. No one seemed to be responding to any post I made. As it turns out I'm just not that interesting.

>>51815 You are interesting to me (//ω//)

>>51812 I see. When I created the theme I wanted to give an air of "valuable works of art" to the images by means of golden frames. At the time using double borders with rounded corners seemed like a good idea (I had just created Yotsuba P, which also uses them), but now that I think about it, I don't think they are the best way to simulate frames. >>51815 I only filter spammers with non-000000 IDs. I don't like the idea of filtering all torfags because a couple of them are shitting things up.

Paypal continues to be shit. <PayPal has linked up with the Anti-Defamation League to censor what people see online >-PayPal has tapped the ADL to lay out criteria that will allow that payment-services giant to essentially shut down any group it labels “extremist.” >Under the program, the ADL will help PayPal refuse service to financial networks that, according to the ADL, “support extremism and hate” or endanger “at-risk communities.” Again, the ADL isn’t saying how it will make its determinations. But given its ideological orientation, there’s little doubt that the ADL will target anyone who dissents from support for Black Lives Matter and other left-wing causes https://archive.is/8nTvZ

>>51780 Doesn't this open Funimation to ligation from KFC if they don't want to be associated with Dragon Maid or Funimation? And those tweets pretty much confirming it was on purpose? https://www.kfc.com/contact

>>51820 Not really. And it's Dragon Goes House-Hunting not Dragon Maid. http://www.rightsofwriters.com/2010/12/can-i-mention-brand-name-products-in-my.html By the way, Funimation was sufficiently proud of that line they named a youtube clip on their channel after it: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=sskUwTxEKns

>>51822 It's just the guys wanting to have fun. Nothing to be angry about.

>>51822 You say that like it's any different than the rest of Jackass; at least in this one that faggot Rip Taylor won't be throwing confetti at the end so they'll have to get fucking Linetrap instead.

>>51824 To be quite honest, I haven't seen Jackass, but, from what I can already see in the trailer, it just looks to be following the trend of the Impractical Jokers movie from a over years ago. And, that show I lost most interest in after the fifth episode.

>>51825 Jackass got it's start as a MTV show in late 2000 and this is the fourth movie they've made, hence Fo(u)rever; how absolutely fucking new are you?

>>51826 I've knew OF Jackass for years (Even know that there was a video game for it), however I never knew WHAT Jackass was.

>>377546 I was expecting the bottom sword of revealing light to get changed, because it looks like it's getting fucked in the ass.

>>377546 It's dumb but I get it. It makes me uneasy too but at that point they should really just tell people to pick something different.

>>377546 >>377546 And why is catering to a new audience for the sake of player retention a bad thing? All the people migrating are retards that followed muh eceleb over. All MMOs are shit

>>51830 >And why is catering to a new audience for the sake of player retention a bad thing?

>>377546 >Icon changed because of trypophobia >Getting trypophobia triggered from an icon >Squeenix folding to this retardation This whole WoW exodus to FF14 thing was funny at first, but I can see where this is going. More westerner will because their bigger source of revenue so they'll cater to them over the Japs. Censoring Viera and Lalafells and other shit. Good thing I hate MMOs. >It makes me uneasy too You have Trypophobia? And it's triggered by something as benign as an icon with holes? Are you serious? This is the sort of thing that should trigger Trypophobia. I don't know how you could function if something as abstract as icon like that can trigger your phobia.

>>51832 Thats kinda hot Do you think they have sex inside the holes?

>>51833 I'd have sex inside her holes. But what I really want is to fuck the grasshopper girl.

>>377546 >>51832 I had to look it up to see what they changed. Holy fuck this is retarded.

>>51832 >they'll cater to them over the Japs Good, nips are way too passive about their entertainment. If there's nothing good to play they'll likely just bitch about it on imageboards instead of complaining to devs. oh wait

>>51832 Last part meant for >>51829

>>377546 It was actually originally from a thread in the JP forum with the OP requesting it to be changed on behalf of other people, he didn't even have the fear. The usual suspects have decided to use this blatant shallow PR move as a cudgel toward anyone who doesn't suck off SE. Anyone pointing out the LTW job icon and the various hole-filled corals, beehives, and so on in the game are ignored. It's all so tiring, hilarious, and will be forgotten about in a few days.

>>377521 I didn't know Mexicans actually had good government.

>>51827 >I knew of it but didn't know what it was >so I am going to throw a fit about it being ruined even though I don't know anything about it

>>51839 https://archive.is/gwkoU Forgot because no-brain gorilla nigger. As much as I dislike zombie-Blizzard and WoW, SE isn't much better and neither are the cancerous XIVonlies who flocked in because of journos endlessly praising the "story".

Do not respond to or make eye contact with Luciano.

>>51841 >so I am going to throw a fit about it being ruined even though I don't know anything about it No, I'm just asking WHY. Jackass seemed like one of those properties that came and went like just about every MTV property and had little lasting value.

>>377553 Your second archive is wrong and says nothing about what you quote. Having said that this quote from the article is just golden >This is the beginning of an enduring movement in favor of better labor conditions for all employees, especially women, in particular women of color and transgender women, nonbinary people, and other marginalized groups. They want to put off the fire with more fuel (i.e. getting more self righteous sex pests and social parasites). It's kinda cute.

>>377580 >Boycotts always work. No, they don't. Boycotts are a meme that require universal dedication that can be sustained for months on end. Especially when the company provides a service that is almost required. The only solution is to spend your money somewhere else on a service that provides the same function. Thus far, the closest services are cryptocurrencies.

>>51844 Anon you didn't seem to know what you were talking about and instead of just leaving it you continue to double down.

>>51843 Imagine not just automatically ID filtering TOR as soon as the thread goes up.

>>51783 Can you explain how GG is alive as a movement right now?

>>51835 And I thought I was a pussy. How do these people even function? What kind of company/society bends for these asswipes?

>>51822 >Johnny has a head of grey hair now What the fuck?
