TL;DR they want to control the experience, they don't want you to feel like you have to "jump in" to CarPlay, and they don't want it to be the same as on every other vehicle.

My takeaway: they want to put ads in it. "Increase value to our consumers" or some other horseshit you use CarPlay to get away from. Oh, and never update it.

Cocks. I don't like to see them.

Anything that plays at being gross. Like ass eating. Talking about family members. Like this girl really doesn't want to mess with her father or her brother, but Game of Thrones was huge so everyone wants to play into it. Kills the mood instantly. Just not into it. Even if it's two chicks, if they're pretending to be sisters or mother/daughter, it just kills it. Most people aren't into that for real, but "I wouldn't want to bang my sister but I want to watch you bang yours... to me it's the same.

Anything that plays at it being an ad. Teasing. Reference to commercial sites. "Only Fans." Back in the day, we kind of had a renaissance. Anyone with a camera could upload. Yeah occasionally you got teenagers doing dumb shit and if you suspected it, you didn't look at that. But a lot of college age couples were just having fun, fooling around, good times. A lot of those videos aren't in anything close to HD though, but are still worth watching from time to time.

I remember AOSPA! They had the cool pie control! I used it on a Galaxy S3.

Japanese is considered to be the most alien of languages to native English speakers, and vice versa. That said, it has been done, and it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to learn Japanese as a native English speaker. What it takes is time and dedication.

I actually know a few dozen words in Japanese, but I don't know Japanese.

As for dubs, I prefer some anime dubbed in Japanese and some anime dubbed in English. Generally English is more accessible in that I don't have to read as well as listen, but there are some animes I don't want to be distracted by subtitles.

Anyway, it's a common misconception in anime that "the language I don't understand has better voice acting." It's because you don't understand it. If you understood it, you'd likely come to the conclusion that some actors are just better than others, in either dub. The difference is, English dubs pay more and they have a wider pool of talent. But as you learn Japanese, you'll find the same is true in Japanese dubbing, some of the actors are actually good, and others are just phoning it in, same as anywhere.

I do feel like if you're familiar with Chinese languages, you probably know that Japanese evolved from Chinese (I'm not sure on the specifics here), like how they have the same numbers. So it's a good starting point. You can probably read the symbols, or at least know what they sound like. I can read romaji passably enough. But the symbols? Haha nope.

I like these things. Had no idea there was an organisation involved.

Fun fact: you can get them in Animal Crossing. You can buy them straight up, or make them — the availability of the crafting recipe, or the item being available in the shop, however, is completely random. And they don't "do" anything. They're just a decoration. I like having one on my island near my houses though, or maybe up by the museum, but my current character has neither the recipe nor the actual item. One of those things that, if I get the recipe/item, I'll definitely put one out.

I actually have the latest Audacity, for macOS if that matters. I don't see anything called openvino in the Effects menu.

I've only really ever used Audacity to shorten songs, like to make ringtones.

I agree with you about the lyrics. I think if it's a cover song, it's gonna be harder to tell, in a vacuum. I suppose I have my answer in how many songs this channel is churning out. What really did it for me was where the quality would dip. They act like they're actually doing these as performances in a studio, but there are lines being delivered that no reasonable person would sing that way and stamp with their approval. Because with a cover song, the lyrics have already been written and you have the song, you just change it in some way.

So you also like it? You disagree with everything I said... including the part where I said I don't like it? It sounds like you just want to be antagonistic. I'm not the future — being mean to me on social media won't stop the future from happening. It just makes you slightly less of a good person.

The reason streaming boxes are the future in gaming is the same reason they are in movies and music. In movies and music, the common players don't support physical media anymore — they're too small. How do you get a tape, CD, or vinyl record into an iPhone? You stream it. Same with games. Even now, vs 20 years ago, physical releases are getting rarer and rarer. This generation, Xbox and PlayStation have digital-only models, and a lot of games are digital-only.

The compression is a trade-off and it exists in movie and music streaming as well. Latency will be mitigated by more servers.

And it's actually already here. There are "Smart" TVs out there that play Xbox games. Via Cloud Gaming. I know guys out in the sticks who do cloud gaming. The myth that it's only going to work in NYC, LA, and Chicago hasn't ever been true. Seems like every town has servers now. And the fiber and cable running everywhere is good enough to solve most of the latency. Of course, there will always be latency... hell, I can't catch fish in Animal Crossing if I'm using a wired controller, I have to take the damn Switch out of the dock and play handheld, but if I do that, I can catch the 5-star rarity fish every time, first try.

You don't have to like it. I sure don't. But, how's refusing to accept things you don't like working out for you? You wish us a good president yet, or do you actually like the one we have (in the US)? Your wishes in tech are about as effective... same as mine.

Not to mention it was a ripoff of .hack//SIGN. Still enjoyed it though.

Season 2 they kinda went their own way before the manga was finished.

Seasons 3 and 4 were rushed

Love seeing this band recommended and people getting them for the first time. They’re not really my thing; I like that they’re not what you expect, so I root for them. I hope they find new fans.

What I listen to — Japanese rock — girls who rock are not uncommon. So I love to see it.

What show? Site is down.

sense8 is a great show on Netflix with trans inclusion though! So is Designated Survivor but you gotta wait for the first season that Netflix made. Trans actress Jamie Clayton is in both and they both made me a fan of her work!
