Tbf I think this comm is pretty great for not being a sexist, racist, xenophobic (omg why is the bar so low) cesspit.

I mean some people might be into that.

Right but the big elevator shaft diagonally going down (like the ones in games), I can't think of one before the Akira manga.

Maybe that one in Day of the Dead? Was that even diagonal?

Do these elevators that go down diagonally into underground bases have any basis in reality?

Definitely, true about games. That was practically a cliche by the PS2 era .

Ideally in real life you'd use guns and bombs instead of showing them a tattoo.

Do we know how the age verification process is gonna work or is this gonna be one of those neoliberal dystopian spystate kinda deals where the means of data collection is left to corporations only to be subsequently tapped by the state when the want to target individuals?

Absolutely. Super easy to use this in blackmail. Especially in a country as repressed as the UK.

“This is not a plastic problem, but a waste management failure. It is the failure of plastic waste management that leads to pollution, not the material itself,” said Segun Ajayi-Kadir, Director General of MAN.

Want to make the world a better place? Kill this man.

Absolutely.

Northern Irish Civil Rights movement had the IRA. Women's Suffrage had the Suffregetes

All of these movements allowed the peaceful side to present the same terms:

'You deal with me or you deal with the other guy.'

Serious question:

Is Akira the first example of a Diagonal Elevator in media?

Haha, I have a mental image of your steam library as a long list of games that MUST have at least a tangential connection with trains.

Also, Monster Train 2 is out - I should check that out. It'll hold me over till Slay the Spire 2.

Tangential Question: Is Sailor Moon manga worth reading as an adult?

Sounds like a total badass. What a tragedy she died so young.

Like, I get that he's ex-special forces. But he also gets betrayed by the military industrial complex and literally goes to hell for being a piece of shit.

Though Heaven and Hell are a bit arbitrary since they're in a forever war.

Actually, kind of makes sense in a fucked up way.

What's Red Directive?

I love this comm. I really wish Lemmy had an equivalent of AskHistorians on reddit though. That was probably the highest quality sub on that site imo.

Edit: also just had an idea for a comm: AskNonHistorians

People can ask questions and they get answers full of inaccuracies and nonsense. (Obviously there would need to be strict rules against genocide denial and other forms of shitbaggery)

Police are the mechanism of state violence. They are inherently bad - as an institution.

Whether a politician is bad depends on their policies.

Please stop using this meme. Steve Buscemi is only 15 here. He's just looked like that his whole life.

Wow, I've never seen the Cherokee language in written form. It's beautiful!

'I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or broiled.'

No. Nazis should fuck off.

Devs should just fuck.
