It's interesting coming back to this video over a decade later. 4chan is still terrible (obviously) but I'm not sure if it's for the same reasons as the video originally described. Rather, it seems that his complaints now apply more to the mainstream internet as a whole, especially social media.

I'm not going to watch this video but why is Suigentou holding a razor?
1. How does that relate to the video or is the the infamous clickybait I keep hearing about?
2. Why does she need a razor if she is a doll? She can't grow body hair.

It's been a while since I've actively used this site.

Something that struck me on my return was just how much more imageboard-y it had become in my absence. Posts like >>133721 contain a kind of real-lifey cynicism that I generally didn't see that much before. There's also more social media speak, although I can't find any specific examples off the top of my head. I remember someone saying "bend the knee" though. It's not a huge difference, mind you, but it's definitely there, and I don't like it.

I've also noticed that there's a lot more generals, which I'm not a fan of. A large part of what I liked about Kissu was the site's hostility to them, where you were encouraged to either make new threads for new topics. Again, not a huge increase, but it's something that stood out to me just casually browsing

I'm probably not going to stick around. Partially because of the cultural shift, but also I'm just not interested in topicless imageboards as a whole anymore, and Kissu has been very much that since pretty early in its existence.

If you're complain about posts by using an example it's probably best to use a post by a person that shows up more than once per a month. It's my post. I stick by everything said within it. I don't have to re-read it to know what it says. You need to accept that some things in life just suck and there is no harm in moaning about those things from time to time. If there was a magic happy pill or supplement without horrible side effects that actually solved the issue of insomnia I would have tried it by now and I would have suggested it.

If you don't like my tone. Too bad. I could pull the old
>I've been here longer than you
>I've been wasting my life longer than you on the internet
>I was probably using the internet before you were born
cards but I won't. Since such things are depressing to bring up anyway.

If you're accusing the author (me) or being a social media addict I have bad news for you. I'm 99% sure I'm both the only person here that doesn't have any social media accounts and also 100% sure I'm the only person that posts here from time to time that doesn't use a cell phone. I am a hermit that can type 155wpm and the main reason I even continue to use places like this is the fact that it's impossible to interact with anyone anywhere else without said cell phone. Soon I won't be able to any longer or be allowed to access my old accounts like steam. Since with each passing month more and more of them are taken away from me thanks to shit like 2fa via cell phone and all the major anti-ddos services labeling my web traffic as "suspicious". So don't get your pantsu in a twist when I notice someone doing something to promote such things and pointing out how stupid that is.

Soon the only thing I'll have left is Fidonet over HAM radio. At least until the FCC shows up to throw me in federal prison for encrypting my traffic.

I don't think they will ever be good enough, because AI is not actually intelligent, it would be relying on an algorithm of previous court cases instead. That might work in some cases but in many it would not as many cases throw up their own unique aspects so you can't really just rely on precedent for all of them. Otherwise you might end up with cases where somebody is sentenced far harsher than they would be because the AI could not understand the circumstances of the crime or maybe far less than they would be because of the same reason.

Ethical is debatable. From a legal standpoint yes AI would be good. Laws are a confusing mess of codes and rules and Lawyers are already soulless automatons, what difference would a literal machine make for reading and arguing on the basis of dense legal code?
Judgment is a different story. It's easy enough to judge things in black and white. Either they broke the law or they didn't. But judges are human and can sympathize. A machine would not question the law even if it was nonsensical and outdated, a judge could throw a case out because it's fucking stupid and a waste of time to prosecute.
A judge can also incorporate the intent of the defendant in whether wrong was done. For example: speeding in a school zone. You were going through at 50 mph and you got caught. A judge may be lenient and let you off with a warning if the reason you sped was a valid concern, like rushing to your sickly grandmother's house after she missed several calls.
AI cant do this, and it shouldn't do this. Shit's already loose enough it doesn't see anything wrong with ordering 1000 cheesy rolls at a drive through kiosk, it lacks common sense.

Having an AI judge is a terrible idea, it will repeat whatever biases are in the training data. If, say people with French names got convicted more often (due to real-life reasons or bias), an AI judge trained on those outcomes would gladly judge someone guilty for having a French name. They're statistical inference machines and they don't care about causation, only correlation.

We'll be using a new locally hosted video stream system, so if you want you can open up the stream in VLC directly by using the files in https://rtmp.kissu.moe/streams/verniy.json when it's ready
It's a 1080p stream so I might switch to individual 720P files(the traditional method) if it doesn't work out.

The anime? It's by the author who did Oyasumi PunPun. It's better if you know less about it, but the animation and music are great.

If a person believes in something and acts accordingly after getting power then they were not corrupted, they were enabled.
The quintessential allegory for power corrupting is Tolkien's One Ring, where characters do greatly deviate from their original goals because of its influence. Schizman doesn't.

Anonymous 10/15/24 (Tue) 02:07:02 No.134235

>>134228
The One Ring is different because it has a will of its own and is actively influencing the bearer's mind to achieve its ends. You can argue that Schizoman and Kadode were fundamentally evil and just smart enough not to show it until they thought they could get away with it, but the fact remains that they would have gone their whole lives as simple disillusioned losers had they not gained power and reevaluated their course of action based on that. I think Kadode not becoming a terrorist in the timelines where she didn't get the sonic screwdriver shows that the author's perspective is that the power is what turned her down the wrong path rather than simply allowing her to achieve goals she already had.

Anonymous 10/15/24 (Tue) 16:56:34 No.134245

>>134235
With Kadode we absolutely agree that power corrupted her or at least led her down a dark path, I don't think anyone could interpret it any other way. Ten pages after experiencing the power of the blaster she's derailing a train, in the two other timelines where that doesn't happen she's fine, the correlation is statistically significant. But your response to Schizman having ill intent from the start is to shift to hypotheticals. He didn't say "if only I had a gang of people to help back me up, then and only then I would take revenge on the invaders, oh well too bad." He did it himself, actively, starting from nothing, unlike Kadode. There are prior events (reading /pol/, Kiho's death) that make him go down that path well before any change in power occurs, independently from it. Moreover, Ontan's mother going derelict is unrelated to power or acting out of a sense of justice (on the contrary, she is forsaking her child), and if you want to argue that the self-serving government has been corrupted then you have to pretty much take an anarchist stance and reach back well before the start of the story to say it's been that way all along.

I think it would be easier to say that Asano's message is that power corrupts if he had shown any of his characters as upstanding prior to obtaining it, if he had brought attention to a clearer distinction between the before and after, or if he had shown a standard for responsible usage that others failed to follow, but they're mostly flawed from the get-go. What he does explicitly criticize is justice itself, and for you or I to say that their usage of power is irresponsible we're left to do so with our own sense of justice, which he doesn't endorse.

I am considering going on a carnivore diet. Nothing fancy, prolly just ground beef, eggs, and dairy products every day. I've tried more "balanced" diets before and I never felt any better. Lately I've been very depressed and started putting on weight, so I'm interested in seeing what life will be like cutting out carbs almost completely. I understand there are some risks because there hasn't been much research on these types of diets, but I don't really care about anything right now.

Falling into the Ray Peat rabbit hole. I wonder how much of what he says is legit and how much is bullshit. One of his big things was eating food that would promote longevity, and yet he died at like only 82. I was surprised that he says lard is bad, apparently because (at least in the United States) pigs are fed a lot of corn and soybeans nowadays, so a lot of the toxins in those end up in the pigs' fat as well.

My immediate issue are his citations range from 30 to 80 years old. Nutritional science has advanced a lot since then. It's true that food companies managed to change the accepted wisdom for decades and people that were saying stuff 80 years ago were proven right (like fat not being the enemy), but things have changed a lot. Many different organizations, government and private, research things constantly and the internet has connected the entire globe. Things look very iffy in an extremely active field like dietary nutrition when someone purposely avoids any information found in the past 30 years. Or is this a page from 30 years ago?
>© Ray Peat 2006.
Oh.

I think the "seed oils are toxic to the body" thing comes to the wrong conclusions. If you're getting too much of it, it means you're eating lots of junk food and everyone knows that's bad for you for a host of reasons. You're eating lots of fried food, or super processed stuff with an ingredient list that takes an entire page. Are potatoes unhealthy because of potato chips? Many things are bad in excess, and sure, many "seed oils" are one of them. But, stuff like this is telling people that it's the seed oil itself and not that an extreme amount of it is used in junk food. Lots of people sing the praises of eating flax seed, but if you listen to this guy then you're ingesting poison.
Hydrogenated oils are definitely something to avoid outright. Although, this guy says seed oils are so bad that you should take the option of hydrogenated oils. Yeah, oil taken directly from corn is toxic as opposed to than corn oil that has been sent to a factory to have hydrogen bonded to its atoms to produce an artificial oil stable at room temperature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenated_oil
I was told hydrogenated oils were bad in a nutrition class back in like 2003 so the information was out there.

He also says fish oil is bad, so you shouldn't eat fish. Someone tell the people in Asia that soybean, sesame and fish oil is killing them prematurely at age 98. Since his fish data is from "fifty years ago" he's unaware of the actual danger of fish caused by environmental pollution accumulating in larger fish.

Seriously, everything comes together perfectly with her. Cute voice, a cute, believable personality, and she's just also very cute in appearance.

I'm a latin american BR working remotely "with" U.S. companies, not "at" them. Essentially, I'm a middle manager between Latin American contractors and U.S. clients. I make $50k a year in what's basically a NEET job, just doing 1:1s with developers, clients, and handling invoicing. I barely work 2 hours a day.

You’d think I have it pretty good, being from a third world country and barely working, but then I look at the FAANG managers and directors I deal with and they're making anywhere from $250k to $500k a year. With that kind of salary, I could retire in a year in my country.

How do they even get into these positions?

When I check their LinkedIn profiles, most of them started as directors or program managers right off the bat... Meanwhile, I had to start as an intern. Honestly, I feel like where I’m at now is as good as it gets if I want to keep this a NEET job. But if you think differently, enlighten me

1. Just because it's the first thing on their profile doesn't mean that's where they started, there's no point cluttering your resume with a decade of low-level grind when you're looking for high-paying project management positions.
2. That pay is exceptional for the first world too everywhere except a handful of extremely high cost of living areas and I could retire in a few years off that, even with the government stealing half of it.
3. They are probably doing a lot more actual work than you and you're probably happier watching anime all day. Or they're lucky enough to have found a team that holds them up and hasn't collapsed under their weight yet.
4. If you get into a company early you can get an important-sounding title right away and, as long as the whole thing doesn't collapse around you, you'll be set there for life.

>>133943
Parties aren't strictly necessary, but it is key that you get people to like you socially. This is a lot easier in an office because just taking a few hours a week to chat with the people around you will impress you on them as someone who is good at their job and easy to work with. Parties do supplement this, though, and let you create those connections outside of your immediate sphere. You can also do this with friends outside of your professional sphere. Once you have some rapport with someone, just make sure they know you're looking for something more and hope they run across something you'd fit into. Or, alternatively, find something they're having a hard time with and come up with a way you could be the solution.

Move to the US and you will be fucked living the way you probably do in BR because in the US you have to pay for basically everything yourself. No government subsidization of your quality of living. So not only do you need to be payed equivalent between BR vs US, you also have to make extra to compensate.
That's why you are hired in the first place compared to a local US worker.

FYI I'm CAN payed in USD so US-CA exchange rate and standard of living are fairly good. I get paid about same that a mid range dev would be payed in Canada for the price of a high-junior level. And I would not want to move to the US on my salary if I were consuming at least 60% of my month to month. Because I would have to pay for health insurance and then I have to get a car. And living in US appartments is shit so I would need to buy a house

That's already my situation here in Brazil. Government social services are shit, and the "free healthcare" is abysmal. Additionally, I’m a hikikomori and use zero (0) services provided by the government.
To be honest, I invest 90% of my salary in safe stocks and crypto with the hope of becoming financially independent and a real NEET again someday. At this rate, I’ll probably be able to retire in around ten years, by that time I'll be in my early 40s.
I also don’t want any additional responsibilities if it means commuting and putting actual effort into my work, so I guess the U.S. is off the table for me for now.

You might be right then. Because Canada has a lot of benefits and I can mouche off of family if need be. If Brazil maybe only has the family benefits then dunno.

The main thing to be considering here is that you can't just blind jump into a country, especially the US, and you need a job lined up.

The Memories of Phantasm gets shit, but I really liked it. It's fun and their renditions of the music have this almost nostalgic way of getting you immersed with Touhou.

Who likes to draw pantsu? Anonymous 09/26/24 (Thu) 05:22:18 No.133639 [Reply]

Hello again. I made this request twice last year but no one had the time. I'm making it again hoping someone wants to be the hero we need.

We are working towards this year's Christmas present for anon: A "restored" version of Onimai that will have many improvement's over last years' release. A revised English translation, corrected color, many scenes that were "censored" on the BD restored to the TV version and many other things. One thing I _really_ want to include is a restored panty shot from episode 2. But so far I haven't been able to get anyone willing to edit/redraw these 30 or so frames. I am dumping these frames again with corrected colors/chroma today in the hopes that someone will rise to the challenge.

This archive has all the frames (and a few on either side) of the censored pantsu shot. It's the typical modern day "black void" pantsu shot being used in most modern anime. We would like to restore it to what it was intended to be. If you're willing please let us know. You have a chance here to insert your own little easter egg (perhaps a cute picture of a rabbit?) on the pantsu.

Link to archive: https://files.catbox.moe/c9u1al.7z

They are in uncompressed .bmp RGB32 format. I ask that you please do not change the color space and return them in the same image format if possible. If these are not workable for you let me know and I will try to dump them in whatever image format you prefer. Whatever you send back is going to have to be re-inserted into the episode itself and converted back to YV12 color space. I've attempted to properly convert them to RGB32 for you. If I fucked up do let me know. They are 123MB in .7z compressed archive and will uncompress to about 500MB. Please be mindful not to rename any of the files. As the number is linked to frame numbers on my end!

There are only about 20-30 frames total that need to be edited. The rest are duplicates or appear before or after the pantsu would.

Thanks for your attention!

>The panty shot was censored in production to appease the mass market because that's a big no-no now.
Well hopefully with how much of a sales success both it and Mahoako were we'll start to see a resurgence of those shots since obviously the market wants them and is willing to reward good productions that don't shy away from what's supposedly 'mass appeal'.

It occurred to me that showing the difference between the BD itself and my corrected color version might be a good idea. Pic related is straight from the BD. Next post will have the modified version.

>>133651
I am hopeful the industry might go back to its roots but I know better than to bank on it. We saw with both of these shows that the western distributors couldn't help themselves. With Onimai they censored several scenes and ruined their translation on purpose (and even went as far as bragging about doing it). With MahoAko they simply refused to carry the show at all. Which goes to show they don't give a damn about money.

The crazy thing is outside of the American market they were willing to carry both. Onimai got a proper translation in all languages but English and only mild censorship in some regions (much less than the American version at least). MahoAko was carried everywhere and even got a dub in several languages that I've heard was decent but I won't judge something in a language I can't speak. It also got very mild censorship in select regions.

What I find odd is with shows like this the people claiming to hate them and demanding censorship is the same group that insists it be involved in the western distribution. It's like asking a bunch of hardcore devout Christians to get a death metal album and a season of something like South Park ready for release. It makes no sense and the only reason such people would want anything to do with a show like this is to push an agenda.

Here is the fixed color version. Note that this isn't anywhere near what I would release. Most of the filtering I use has been displayed to allow for quick seeking to search out errors. So it isn't a perfect merge. With my usual filter chain for this show I can only process about 4fps with the CPU pegged at 100%. I need to clean up the noise and correct some minor errors in the WEB sources I'm using before taking the color from it. But this serves as a good example. In other words. All the noise, banding, blockyness etc. from the low bitrate WEB releases hasn't been corrected. It has also been overlaid on the artificial injected grain on the BD.

You may not be able to tell the difference on a monitor that hasn't been calibrated correctly. Basically, colors look less vivid due to some filtering they applied before sending the masters out for BD pressing. It's most noticeable on shades of red/pink.

When it comes to things like this, I always just hold faithful that the free market will sort things out. No matter how much investment money an agenda gets, capitalism always comes out on top. With somebody somewhere eventually asking why there's an unprofitable money sink which has no current or future monetary purpose, and with the amount of money being lost across the board I think those questions will come sooner rather than later.
