Because I wanted to buy a second monitor from that company that buys display panels with dead pixels, cases them and sells them for well below MSRP of the name brands.
Older ones. Less physically discriminatory, more using slurs or making judgemental comments. They're ok with gay people, but you can't be flamboyant or having more options on trans people than they really need to. They haven't made trans comments in a while, but I think that has more to do with not wanting to be on the wrong "team". He's is a big South Park fan, so that's probably where it came from.
This is Lemmy. I'm surprised people have are defending any version of Windows, but most outsiders to this community are still very comfy in their surveillance state OS and will mock Linux users.
I've never used Windows as my main machine, but even before WINE/Proton were as mature as they are now, I never did personal or important work on my Windows installation. It might seem silly to care that Windows was sending back system specs in Win98(or earlier?), but it did it without asking or even informing. It was just such a huge sign of disrespect to the end user and Microsoft has only doubled down on that disrespect for the end user.
At a certain point, I forgot the name of an online store that sold a lot of cool modding gear. It was impossible to find with searches without the name, but I found an old tour of the warehouse in my very old files one day and it was called Lik-Sang. It's so old, I probably don't even have access to the email I used for those purchases anymore.
Not internet, but I a certain scene in an anime on Scifi channel always stuck with me. Eventually, I figured out it was Zeiram the Animation, but the scene had a different dub. That was the era when shows would sometimes have more then one English dub for one reason or another.
I also remember seeing an episode of Max Steel in the hotel room while on a family trip to Canada which had a different opening with a different explanation to how the MC got his powers. Chalking it up to some BS&P issue.
There was some AMVs I saw at Otakon that never got released online. A really good Kino's Journey one, but I don't remember the song at the moment.
Now I'm digging up obscure media from my brain. Apparently, it's not lost media or even good, but I remember watching a prerelease of Game Over at a gaming con once. I guess one episode is lost media.
Shame Welcome to Eltingville never got a full series. CN sure got a lot of mileage out of playing the pilot for a show they opted not to continue.
edit: oh for fun. A friend of mine has been on the hunt for a version of Zorro he saw bits of as a kid. He's never been able to figure out what version of it it was, even though every time he brings it up, we tell him it was actually The Princess Bride. Seriously, he wont watch The Princess Bride, but is convinced that it's not what he saw.
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
3.The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”
5 year olds haven't been fully taught racism yet.
