the important part is that grimes is technically a vocaloid now

i mean but people want the algo to recommend them stuff, otherwise i would just flat out recommend you use an RSS reader to get new video notifications from your subs, and watch them through mpv

the reason why you get pushed elden ring lore videos so hard is me, sorry, i just keep clicking that garbage

So I am thinking something like a USB SSD could work here? Thoughts?

It'll work. Your SSD will be bottlenecked by the USB connection, but you probably won't notice for torrenting.

this was featured in dr house, one of the clinic patients had persistent diarrhea and house was like "how much gum are you chewing per day lmao"

oh, i'm all for replacing aspartame with sucralose, the superior sweetener that doesn't leave an aftertaste akin to licking lightbulbs. but we got two scare-mongering pieces of news regarding artificial sweeteners in a row, and the news that popped up didn't cover it with the proper nuance and could be easily interpreted as "sugar better", so I strongly suspect sugar lobbying is at play here (non-sugar sweeteners have gained incredible ground over sugar itself on processed food and especially beverages), and I'm surpised someone who is so suspicious about science communication isn't picking up this obvious a scent.

He follows the arc of Blue, in which he just grows up and gets a fucking job. Meanwhile Red is like a hermit I dunno.

Yeah the reality is that those cartoonishly evil execution methods were pioneered by counter-insurgents and anti-communists to spread horror on the third world, and they soon found themselves out of a job and quickly picked up by blooming criminal enterprises.

It's hard to say if it's even effective but my bets are on that it being the opposite. How you say? Well for one we're trusting their own 0 homicides figures to make assumptions about effectiveness. And second, it's well known that Bukele's government has been discretely liberating big MS-13 capos who quickly hide on other latinamerican countries which has all the markings of a pact between gang leaders and the government. In essence, government heads have become the defacto capos and are doing gang shit, the police is now part of the maras muscle and the arbitrary arrests prove it. The rest of the prison stuff is just for show. Even if this was not true, jails are known hotpots of potential criminality. It's where new gangs like CJNG were formed, so it's just delaying an inevitable problem. From wherever you look, it's a temporary band-aid.

I liked the brutal decapitation scene and the following "this brought us no satisfaction or closure" scenes, the first 10 minutes of endgame were great, right until Ant-Man appeared and ruined the movie

I mean it depends on when are you looking at Harry Potter, because I originally remembered it being marketed not on the merits of its story, but practically as a quasi-pedagogical tool, finally a panacea to sooth the children who cannot click the book. You had to see it to believe it, kids reading books instead of playing Nintendos. And HP probably single-handedly opened the floodgates for YA literature, so there was probably some truth to it. Hell, probably the lord of the rings renaissance and movie adaptations owe something to HP's success. And for what is worth, I do remember them being pageturners when I was like 12, all the way to the fifth book where Harry Potter became too whiny an adolescent for me to want to keep up. I dunno, marketing alone can get you so far.

I think people here like to undersell a cultural artifact so big that it's only comparable to stuff like Pokemon. And they have no reason to, despite whatever qualities HP may have it remains, objectively, a book series meant for children. And their adult consumers remain perpetually arrested to their childhoods, and that's pathetic enough.
