Rofl. Imagine thinking I called out Metallica for taking down Napster alone.
Their shit's been used in DoD/weapons-contractor videos for decades, and the moment the MAGAts start to turn on Trump over the Epstien stuff, Metallica is suddenly anti-drone, for the first time ever.
Next you'll tell us NASCAR brought down the Berlin Wall.
Sadly, I use my watch-history as a bit of a que. Watch a second of a few different vids that catch my interest before the feed refreshes and buries them. Once I've saved a dozen like so, go back and watch them, or download for offline viewing.
Metallica loves imperialism for the most part, that's how.
Either everyone's Rimuru(good-enough VA I guess, but mis-cast/shoe-horned a LOT), or they're taking characters(girls mostly, like Kazari Uiharu) who are shallow, bat-shit insane and sound so in Japanese, but giving them reasonable English voices that try to make their obsessions with rules and feeding sardines to their absolutely uninterested crush sound profound ...
I think you've hit the nail on the head with "contiguity", and that alone makes this look so wrong to me. I mean, including Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia? China's Entire Coast, but NOT Taiwan?
Which 50%? Not the top x economies it takes to add-up to at least 50%, so, random countries/states/provinces that happen to add up to 50% ... ?
You'll have to have the power temporarilly disconnected at the pole. Once you've done that, a good ladder would be far cheaper than hiring any professional, by a factor of 5 or 10 times.
The joy of MAGAts is that they represent a category of people I'm allowed to openly wish violence upon / express my intention to harm them myself given a shred of plausible deniability.
I watch the subs out of either impatience or avoiding certain English VA/character pairings that I absolutely cannot stand. I can muddle my way through the shittiest of subs rather than put up with localized VA's who sound NOTHING like their Japanese counterparts...
Anything beating The Apothecary Diaries blows my mind, although I know well the pain of wading through the tail-end(19-23?)/weeks of Season 2 to get to the good bits/reveals.
It's "passive" because it uses his employers' time and money to generate additional off-the-books income for himself.
Same way many land-lords mortgage their rental properties close-to insolvency. Damn straight, "passive"=using other people's money.
