chat j’ai pété

Check if it is Tuesday.

One day we will commit to a git repo where we will be judged not by the pointyness of our banana but the contents of our peel.

Ok now I’m invested. What happened to up to? That’s supposed to be their excuse, that there’s some sacrificial lamb out there, which knocks a quarter of the price off for subscribers, this one just wasn’t it. Now you locate the rare holofoil “no up to” Amazon listing and you don’t get the 25%? Tyranny I say! We must overthrow! We demand up to 100% of the means of production!

Haven’t touched reddit socially in 8 months, but every now and then I’ll use it to search for opinions or instructions on things. Searched “reddit best domain registrar” recently and landed on a thread where top to bottom, every comment recommending a registrar was from a bot and/or banned account. No real person testimonials, all ads. And as AI implementations improve, that’s going to get harder to spot. In the meantime, I’m formatting searches like “best domain registrar lemmy” because reddit is legit that bad rn.

And there’s 3 billion Facebook users which means there must be trillions of companies spying on them! Crazy when you don’t think about it.

Everyone in this thread ignoring that sushi refers to the style and preparation of the rice. The rolled sushi is maki, literally “to roll.”

How long should I wait for the employee?

Ginger: I love you so much

Mittens: I tolerate you so much

You have to touch the screen. The one thing bots can’t do.

I have a big brain, so I refuse all microchips. I won’t settle for anything less than a macrochip.

Had not considered this. The rate at which I’m offering telephones and then withholding them is actually criminal.

My cat and I play a game where I ask, “Do you want a [word other than treat]?” five or six times before asking if he wants a treat, to teach him that not all questions mean treats are about to be given.

It’s insane the force with which he turns his face away from me, as if to say, “Excuse me but I really need to be in the kitchen right now, treats are about to be given,” when I ask if he wants a telephone. No matter how many times I tell him he has misheard, he simply does not believe me.

Wrong flavor again? That is the last time I shop at the pile of garbage under the overpass.

That was my thought as well. If they’re not going to composite Arlong’s nose into every shot, a whole octopus man is far out of the question. But so help me God if they cut Karoo…

Agreed that it’s possible, just very very expensive to make it look good. For Chopper, I think they’ll pay up, but I’ll bet there will be a lot of devil fruit users who get cut purely because showing them on screen costs too much money for too little payoff. Which is unfortunate, but understandable.

It would seem they finally got a live action adaptation right. Given Oda’s involvement, maybe that had something to do with it. The spirit of his work was definitely captured. And they covered a whole lot of ground in just 8 episodes.

Makes me wonder how many seasons we’re going to get and how they might break it up. I’m hoping for something like this:

S2: Loguetown Arc, Arabasta Saga

S3: Sky Island Saga, Water 7 Saga

S4: Thriller Bark Saga, Summit War Saga

S5: Fish-Man Island Saga, Dressrosa Saga

S6: Whole Cake Island Saga

S7: Wano Country Saga

S8: ???

It’s a pretty tight schedule and we’re unlikely to get that far, but I’m just happy it sounds like we’re getting a season two.

Yeah, I think Buggy said it best with, “Where’s the dancing lion?” I think the show creators were very aware of what they could or could not accomplish with their budget, and Arlong seems to be the limit. Interested to see how they tackle Chopper. If they can get the requisite amount of CG to do that well without landing in the uncanny valley, the sky may very well be the limit (next stop Skypiea).
