Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage
  • It's very sad to see people condoning this. I'm far from a Trump supporter, but this is unacceptable. If this was Biden being shot at, you'd all be saying "typical right wing, gun-toting nutjobs."

    Plus what you fail to understand is that Trump being shot at is just further securing his presidency, and anyone who was previously on the fence will now be more inclined to vote for the person who was "shot at for his beliefs."

  • Prince Andrew ‘tormented’ as Jeffrey Epstein documents set to be made public
  • The entire Royal Family knew exactly what was going on. No coincidence that as soon as Andrew made an absolute embarrassment of himself in that infamous interview, he's suddenly out of sight and the British media suddenly shuts up about it.

    Everyone knew, especially the 45th US president seen in many photos and videos with Epstein.

  • YouTube is doubling down on its distracting ambient mode
  • Same, and when I have noticed it, I think it looks pretty nice at times. This is one of those cases of people just complaining for the sake of it.

    If people want to complain about actual dumb UI changes; aim it at the new Discord mobile UI.

  • subs > dubs
  • During my early teenage weeb days, I used to be a sub purist, disavowing anyone who preferred dub. I'd refuse to watch an anime with someone if they chose dub. However, I've changed a lot since then and now go with whatever sounds better to me. While some dubs are admittedly bad, others put a lot of time and effort into replicating the original Japanese feel, and they do a great job.

    I've also noticed that certain anime set in specific countries feel odd in Japanese. For instance, when I watched Steamboy, it was bizarre hearing Japanese voices in the cities of Manchester and London. The Japanese voice actors struggling to pronounce English names and words fluently added to the peculiarity.

    I don't buy into sub purists claiming all English dubs sound the same. Truth be told, a lot of Japanese voices also sound similar. There are cliché voices that almost allow you to predict how a character will sound in Japanese just by looking at their design.

    These days I'm firmly of the opinion; whatever sounds right to you. I don't see the point of giving someone shit for choosing to watch a series in whatever language they prefer, as long as they're enjoying it.

  • Man accidentally shot child while officiating wedding near Lincoln, deputy says
  • What's the solution for managing stupid people? Just as we use seatbelts to minimize risks in car crashes, shouldn't we apply similar precautions to firearms? Why is there so much denial and resistance to improving gun control measures?

  • Transphobia is a mental illness. The symptoms include, but not limited to;

    Obsessing over the gender of someone you're likely never going to ever meet in your lifetime.

    Suddenly caring about women's sports, even if you had no prior interests whatsoever.

    Making a conscious effort to deadname or use the wrong pronouns on someone.

    Becoming uncontrollably hysterical over optional pronouns in a video game.

    The need to mention transgenders at some point in every day of your life.

    Unfortunately, there's currently no cure available, and it seems to be spreading around fast.
