You misunderstood. They took Nixon and Reagan off of the "never said it" list, because of course they said it.

They so cross drew characters from their mangas in one of the extras.

Agents of W.E.I.R.D. spin-off when?

I like to read One Piece. I can't stand to watch it. For me the episodes I've seen are way too long with not enough happening. I saw an episode of 22m that really just covered 1 single manga chapter. In most conversions, an episode would usually be several chapters.

It's not quite as many different things, but I usually need music or podcasts in my ears while doing something else. Sometimes it's just noise; I occasionally have to rewind to check a joke or fact I missed while my focus increased on something else. If I don't have the stimuli, I find my mind wandering in worse ways though. Driving and a podcast help me focus on the read and not get highway hypnosis or looking at every single thing. Podcast while gaming helps me keep focus on anything somewhat mundane in the game (this varies by game, but most games aren't 100% pumping 100% of the time).

If I really need to focus on something, then podcasts are a distraction that gets turned off. Music also fits this roll, but depending on how much focus I need I may end up changing from music to lyrics to instrumentals.if I have no external extra stimuli I find myself getting bored, mind wandering, etc. So it helps me focus by having a second input my eyes don't need.

I can't do two visual inputs at once, nor two audio inputs. But I usually need input from both. Oh, and the fan thing is incidental. My room produces more heat so I have a room a/c running often, and it's also a white noise generator I guess. It doesn't run in winter so it's not always on, but this time of year it's a regular noise for me.

Yeah, this theory can be funny, but it completely ignores how the Kochs and John Birch Society, among many others, have been trying to "take back" the country since... well civil war at least if you include the KKK and south. Though more since FDR. They have been planning, shifting the Overton window, and trying every little thing they can. They even freaked out about Timothy McVeigh a bit, thinking he set them back by exposing the general secretly violent right wing by going so public, iirc.

A simple look at my history would suffice to show I'm not AI, even if you don't like what I say :P

You should see all the mistakes I make.

Edit also what ai talks about sites like mangapark stealing and collecting manga?

I listen to a variety of podcasts for different moods, and I also use it like music. Sometimes I'm in a music mood, sometimes I decide I need to hear how terrible Kissinger really was, sometimes I want to hear Dan research and refute all the lies Alex Jones spouts (the last two come often with the benefit of learning the origin of bullshit being spouted by some internet personalities), and sometimes I want to hear 3-5 guys who I find funny discuss movies and/or Wikipedia articles. I also like listening to factual and historical podcasts that have more detailed researching.

Why listen when I could look up and read it? Well I do look up and read specific topics, but that takes my full attention. I have ADHD and my mind can wander without additional input if I'm doing something tedious. So I listen while driving, cooking, cleaning, working, and even gaming. Gaming isn't tedious per say, but sometimes you have bursts of that (farming items, repeatable dailies, etc). I pause when I really need to, but some games I also play for relaxation, and I can relax and listen to a funny podcast at the same time. If it's work or gaming where I need focus, music works better.

Uhhh.. let's see, first you need some cups. Then vanilla beans still in the sleeve. Mix cups and vanilla in a blender, add eggs and milk. Bake at 350c for 4 hours.

As people have pointed out, they're an advocacy group, and trying to reach less aware people. The fact that Elon banned em shows it was most likely working.

Aggregators crawl the web to find similar interests and lump em together, for ease and also to generat3 revenue. Personally I see them mostly in stuff like manga sites and lookup sites.

What this may mean for the poster is not that he's disagreeing with the actors statement, but more that they probably all aren't directly affiliated with the one site. They may have had profiles up with different sites and agencies and this one site has crawled and pulled their info into a more easily searchable database. That in turn would make this a bit less collaborative, and perhaps more emblematic of a common trait than a specific strategy.

I'm trying, but I have writers block.
