I’d wish for humanity to transcend our physical form and live in a virtual world as gods.

Workaround: wish to be reincarnated as an immortal.

I’ll check it out.

Not sure how definitive that OPM classification is, but I see OPM as a seinen that deconstructs shonen via satire. It presents the absurdity of the superhero endgame with a troubled god-like protagonist. It also redefines what it means to be a hero in a realistic and inspiring way (via Mumen Rider).

I’m generally picky about how I spend large amounts of time. As an adolescent I watched like 700 episodes of One Piece but I eventually gave up. At this point I can’t be bothered with any Shonen; they’re the equivalent of junk food. Even Mob Psycho 100 started getting tiresome in season 3.

I’ve never appreciated bishoujo/harem garbage; I had coworkers that watched it regularly and it was very off-putting. They are horny and delusional, pretending there is substance.

But I still think there’s a lot of solid art in manga/anime. I tend to look for popular seinen manga that turned into anime, like Akira, Berserk, Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, One Punch Man. But even some of those end up going downhill or failing to evolve out of the “edgy and violent” stage, e.g. Attack on Titan.

Clearly the garbage is what makes money, which is a huge shame.

And AFAIK Hayao Miyazaki does not like to be associated with the Anime genre and would prefer being grouped with the likes of Disney. And I think that’s quite appropriate.

In Settings > Blocks > Blocked Instances

I think it’s just the communities that don’t appear.

Actually I can read this. Apparently blocking instances doesn’t block their comments in communities that aren’t hosted on the blocked instance.

Sorry if this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but how do we know that BlueSky isn’t padding their stats with internal bots? I could see this being a viable strategy to attract users and overcome the social network bootstrapping problem.

That’s a good point. Honestly I didn’t notice all of those posts were from a single community, though in hindsight that makes a lot of sense.

Not because I’ve had any kind of bad experience with users on this instance, but I don’t care for the posts on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I honestly just got tired of seeing the “Rule” posts; it’s like 90% of their posts!

No I’m pretty sure that the DNR prohibits hunting to specific areas on public land.

That just sounds illegal.

Sitting for that long is bad for you, regardless of the chair. Get a standing desk.

I’ve had two boards from them and both have worked without any issues and my last one was in service for 10 years.

I’m curious if anyone would vouch for a TV manufacturer? Are there any good dumb TVs anymore? I have a Samsung smart TV and it is an absolute pain in the ass to use the remote UI. I have resorted to running KODI on a Linux box instead.
