Oh, I remembered that kinda wrong for a moment, but I was talking about that short before the third movie (The Pichu one: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/PK07 ). It wasn't a birthday, it was a party to celebrate one year since Satoshi and Pikachu met. That would imply that he has had a birthday since, that should not be possible without him turning 11. So, that movie Satoshi would already have been 11 back then.
Meanwhile, for his age to make sense at all, in the main timeline, the Pokemon world would have to have very long years. Many thousands of days long, realistically, probably over 10 times longer than in our world (I mean, each episode tends to be on a separate day, and then presumably there are multiple days of travel in between, so 10 times longer is actually a very conservative episode, for over 1000 episodes being only a year). So, when Satoshi began his journey, he HAS to EASILY have lived the equivalent of like, 100 real world years. I guess that's possible, considering how stupid people in the Pokemon world are. Makes sense for it to take a real world century for them to barely know how to do basic addition (subtraction may be too much, he may need 20 more years to figure that out).
Also, yeah, I heard good things about Sun & Moon, about how the story was better than before and how the animation got a lot better, but it annoyed me how he looks EVEN YOUNGER in that. Looks nice overall, though. It has good female character designs. -

That's just because you don't understand the mechanics of what makes something cool like I do. I'm the authority on cool. In fact, anyone that I haven't at least heavily implied to be cool is probably not, and is also statistically likely to be a faggot. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. Actually, I do, so, don't bother calling the manager, I'm the manager, of the Kool Kidz Klub.
Can't post images anymore, but it's fine, the image was so cool it would have been too overwhelming. -

That was expected, I predicted it years ago. This world is shit, and it's so shit that it can't let you have any escape. Anything good that maybe existed in the past, they'll just hunt down and destroy. Life is worth losing. -

That is a distinct example of one of the main categories of shitty video. Videos that have vague titles to get people to click on them just to see what they're about. Oh, the thing that the video is actually about? I don't know what it is, and I'm not gonna click that, so, whatever. Unreal Tournament is a good game, though. -

Well, they're repetitive now, but back in the very beginning, not really. Personally, I only really got sick of it once it got to gen 3, but by then, the original writer was gone. Of course, I like repetition more than most, I played the games a ridiculous amount of times and rewatched the anime every chance I got, back in the day. Still, in the beginning, it was a fresh new thing, it wasn't formulaic and overdone yet, they still had original ideas (and could get away with doing them because the franchise wasn't as tightly controlled and conservative in the bad sense) and a lot of old episodes are very memorable. It was still this mysterious new world, not a time loop with no lasting character development, that lasts until it's not profitable enough to keep it going.
I think someone could maybe argue with the gen 2 portion already being kinda repetitive (I haven't seen it in a long time, and I don't remember as much of it), though even then, the ending of that was satisfying and if it ended there, it would have been a very good show overall. And even if it was repetitive, it was their first time being repetitive, and to me at least, it was still exciting, because it was their first time doing a new region, with new pokemon, and it was an actual continuation of the story, while following seasons feel a lot more detached, like rebooting a story that was already basically over, with the Satoshi and Shigeru rivalry, that was set up in the very first episode, being concluded. There wasn't much left to do. Of course, Satoshi in particular still hadn't achieved his goal, so maybe there could have been one more season, but from there, the writers changed, and no progress was made, for so long that I can't imagine many people not dropping the show at some point or another.
Anyway, I still ended up watching most of the gen 3 anime. Pretty weak. And from there, I only watched parts of it, that happened to be the cool parts of the gen 4 anime, and that was it. Also, I watched the movies up to gen 4 as well, because they were self-contained, so why not? -

Still, it's bizarre, because the first seasons were the most popular. Even if it's repetitive, you'd expect the beginning to be subbed first, because it's the beginning. And you would expect more people to be interested in it, because it's the beginning. And it's not repetitive yet, because it's the beginning, when the show was at its freshest, when every original idea that they could have had was still unused, and when it could get away with doing more because it wasn't this massive, established, tightly-controlled franchise (that has become unbelievably conservative, in a bad way). -

Interesting video. Took a few days to remember to watch it before it was almost time to go to bed. I was more aware of the shame aspect, because that's a big thing in Japan, and also the honor and dignity ("pride") side of things, because it used to be a big thing in Europe, and I have inherited some of that. Though it was also maybe related to shame. There are historical accounts of people being pressured into dueling to defend their honor, when both parties actually didn't have a problem with each other at all. Of course, the ones that complied were cowards, and if anything they should have challenged the people pressuring them into clearly dishonorable behavior.
In my case, I don't have the diseased form of guilt that a lot of people today have, feeling guilty for things that they themselves didn't do and couldn't have stopped (because they weren't even fucking born at the time). I have felt guilt for doing bad things before, but the main influence of guilt on me is that it prevents me from doing bad things, not because of external judgement, but because I myself don't want to be someone that has done them.
Meanwhile, today, most westerners seem to have an inverted form of that. They don't feel guilty for committing actions that harm other people, they only feel guilty for not complying with society, or for resisting its evil. Guilt has been collectivized in a very negative way, people don't take responsibility for the consequences of their own actions, and don't feel bad for negatively affecting others (like, people are perfectly fine buying crap made by slave labor in China, they just keep on consooming without even thinking about it, despite having heard of it, and knowing that it's wrong). In a way, the west doesn't believe in causality anymore. I guess this is all part of the Chinification of the west.
The shame is more complicated. I definitely had a really strong and unhealthy sense of shame, growing up, that I have since been able to tame. Personal shame is something that I have fought against a lot, and I mostly won. But it's still definitely a part of who I am, but in a way it's backwards, compared to the Asian form of shame. Maybe a more western form of shame. It's the shame of being associated with a group that you do not approve of. Like my family, I am definitely ashamed of them existing and being as they are, with no virtue and self-respect. Disgust also applies. Really, the environment that I grew up in, in general, is a source of shame and disgust.
So, I don't feel ashamed because the collective disapproves of me, I feel ashamed of the collective, and don't want to be associated with it, and have moved in the direction of cutting ties and starting from scratch. Which is also not very Asian, but I'd say it's realistic, because every group currently existing on this planet has began with someone deciding that the group they were born into wasn't right for them, and making their own.
I think as usual, the ideal, is a golden mean. Balance. Dignity ("pride") has to be balanced by humility. Fear (that I do have an amount of, though I have intentionally tried to reduce it over time) is necessary for courage to be possible, and there must be a balance of the two. Without fear, courage becomes recklessness. Envy was never a problem for me, and it's purely a negative thing, but admiration for other people and the qualities that they have, and using that as a motivation to move forward and achieve your own version of that, is a good thing (it's not envy, but it's the virtuous form of wanting something that someone else has).
Personally, I'm generally moved to action more by positive things than negative. Negative "motivation" drains the life out of me, and I can't get things done. So, it mostly gets me not to do things, instead of moving me to action. That applies to negative pressure, and fear, and so on.
Of course, my position is unusual, because I don't fit in with the masses, and I'm also past the atheistic phase, and also past the churchianity nonsense that some people are going back to. Philosophizing basically led me to raising truth and fairness to godly status, while also recognizing not knowing the totality of the truth because of human limitations, so, in a way, I'm back where some people in the past were. -

Really want to rewatch the original again. It seems like it's impossible to get a torrent with it in Japanese and subbed (harder than in the past), though, so, I'll have to go back to Japanese if I ever want to watch it not dubbed. I have the raws, though. Maybe I should look for subs more.
By the way, they did this in the dubs:

Yeah, blocking ads is just not enough anymore, which is why I'll probably go with Basilisk, when the time comes, unless something else becomes viable. Again, I wonder what the LibreWolf project is going to do, because this change will really go against the entire point of it existing at all. -

Yeah, it's portable in the sense that it has been ported, because it's the most common file system, not in the sense that it was made to be portable. -

I don't know if I ever heard of XFDOS. The screenshots look promising, I'll have to check that out. Apparently it comes with Dillo, so, the web should be browsable. Even has a media player. If it could stream videos with yt-dlp, it would be pretty usable, actually.
But yeah, I'm still looking for my definitive setup. I have been doing some tests to figure out why the fuck everything is so heavy. Why even programs from the 90s now use more RAM than entire OSs used in the 90s. I want to reduce RAM usage. Would be nice to build everything with -Os, but I'm not going to use Gentoo, because I'm only willing to build my system occasionally, not every other week. FreeBSD may be good, but it doesn't support -Os.
Also, I want a system that doesn't change, for the most part. Even Debian changes too much for my tastes. And I want backwards compatibility, something that MAYBE Guix and Nix can do, but maybe appimages will be able to do as well (I think they still depend on glibc, and can still break from that being updated). Apparently Guix has this "guix pack" thing, that works similarly, and Nix has something like that as well. No idea how good Nix and Guix are for building packages from source. FreeBSD has the clear advantage there, because of the ports collection, and it also seems to just play nicer with older programs in general, and Nix does work on it. On the Linux side, Crux is one distribution that also has a ports collection. It's probably the biggest source-based distribution that isn't rolling-release. I guess I could also install Slackware and then just rebuild the things that I want, maybe, and then never fuck with them again because it's Slackware, it won't be updated again before the world ends.
Anyway, backwards compatibility may be particularly useful to keep GTK2 programs alive as they are abandoned and maybe break. GTK2 is probably the best toolkit overall. It can actually be themed, and has way cooler themes than anything else, and I have loosely compared it to FLTK, and it doesn't seem like there is much of a performance difference. -

All of them have it other than OpenBSD. Really, in the state that the world is currently in, it's kinda unavoidable unless you use really old shit, or something made by one guy. Expecting programmers not to be faggots is like expecting a pig to be able to read. Like flies to shit, faggots are attracted to that field. -

File systems are a problem in general. UFS isn't portable either, even to other BSDs with UFS. Brtfs is only on Linux, ext4 doesn't work on BSD except when mounted as read-only ext2 or 3, or something. NTFS is probably the most portable other than FAT, but OpenBSD doesn't have that either. The best thing to do, I think, is to have a power-efficient file server running FreeBSD with ZFS, and then just sharing the files with your LAN, using NFS (or SMB, I guess). -

It may be a Firefox type of situation. Saying they won't do it so that people think that this doesn't matter and won't affect them, but then after half a year it's removed from Brave too and then everyone is fucked. Of course, I'm not gonna fall for that, fuck Brave, I'll go with Basilisk. Or even webkit or webengine browser, though those lack extensions. Really, I'll stop using the internet before I accept watching fucking ads. -

I wonder what the LibreWolf people are going to do about that. Hopefully not nothing. Anyway, Brave is supposedly going to keep V2, and if this really is as bad as it seems, I assume a lot of people are going to move from Firefox to that (because it's pretty safe to say that a lot more Firefox users block ads), which is not good either.
