Ah I'm glad you found the original source! I had been wondering also- recognized it from Chrono Trigger also haha, but all I could turn up was that it was on Simon Harris's Beats Breaks Scratches vol 5, but not what the actual source was

Honestly thought you were joking at first, haha no I hadn't heard of it!

Looking at their selection, looks like recent stuff only? Nothing pre 1990 or so. Still good to know! But looks like it's not as useful if you're looking for Shaw Brothers classics etc.

I know right??? I had a similar hankering recently and was disappointed how scattered the selection is. HBO has some, Prime has some, Tubi has some(!), Netflix a few (and basically none on Disney, Apple rent only). And almost always a bad dub, rarely the original dialogue.

This sounds amazing!

Wait, change the world for the better? Or for the worse? I feel like whether I could pass the class or not might hinge on that.

Let us also hope that a sequel to Arcanum never comes out. Indeed, let us be glad that Arcanum 2: Journey to the Center of Arcanum was never made, because it probably would have been a monumental disappointment.

Haha, I literally just came across her site yesterday! I was looking up something about Arcanum that linked to there, and I saw an article called "Arcanum Remake". Oh, is someone remaking it?

Oh, right, okay nevermind then.

I used to think I'd never understand these MtG branded collabs, like who wants this stuff?
But, ughhhh, DF ASCII art with announcement messages as flavor texts, alright alright, fine you got me.

As much as i hate unecessary US remakes i can't help but admit that changing the sport from football to baseball so they wouldn't have to change the title 'Fever Pitch' is quite satisfying

So, what do you think we should start calling it now instead? I mean, for justice. Targug?

This is so, so well-articulated.

I'm getting this somewhat from Peter Suber's "The Paradox of Self-Amendment" (1990), which I'm not really smart enough for, but my main takeaway from it was, if the rule system is self-reflexive then, uh, you can't totally stop anything and basically anything goes

legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/writ...

Okay admittedly this is pretty great.

But, as your president-for-life, I am proud to introduce rule 5!

Rule 5. If the enactment of a rule would cause the death of a legislator, instead, it doesn't.

(Also you need to make sure the rule disallowing modifying the death rule itself can't modified! And make sure THAT rule can't be overturned either, and well, so on and so forth. Self-reflexive rule systems are such a pain)

Only if you get a "and this rule itself can't be modified" clause in there too. Otherwise the first thing they'll do with their limitless time in office is get rid of the death rule.

Kunio saying 'Trans Rights are Human Rights"

REMINDER

Still think about this one

the choice is never neoliberalism or fascism. insufficiently managed and regulated economic liberalism yields social dysfunction then fascism as backlash and synthesis. they are complements, not substitutes.

Haha yeah? I think it'd be A for me. But I can't decide which is more or less defensible.

A is a good loser when, holding good cards, he makes a fatal error, but a bad loser when he is dealt cards with which it is impossible to win. With B it is the other way round; he cheerfully resigns himself to defeat if his hand is poor, but becomes furious if defeat is his own fault.

Reminds me of this bit I keep thinking about, from somewhere in W H Auden's The Dyer's Hand, about two kinds of sore losers-

Wow this seems awesome! Will definitely be checking this out.

Honestly it's really too bad the western church never had an Iconoclasm movement, a taboo on depicting the divine seems pretty handy

The squishy footprint sounds for walking on water... 😩

This is a wonderful piece, really resonated with me as someone who also developed a love of words from playing games (for me RPGs generally, and MtG)
I remember some SAT word list or whatever that had like, truncheon, bludgeon, cudgel, etc and being like, "uhh yeah, these are all just blunt weapons"

KING BABY is the best! We used a picture of the tag for all of our baby registry stuff haha

(Embarrassing to have a typo in a pedant joke, but live by the sword die by the sword I guess)

That is silly, because the proper plura in that case, I believe, would be "Johns Hopkin"

"Oh hey, so speaking of gesamtkunstwerk, ... "
