censorship in airing anime is p annoying, tempted to just go back to dvds rather than streaming

mirroroftruth

i never watch by streaming , internet not good

@ToshinouKyouko what are you actually watching

Logan M

Yeah censorship is annoying, but without it they wouldn't be able to extort so many Japanese middle-aged NEETs to pay ridiculous DVD prices to cover an otherwise financially unsound industry.

mirroroftruth

true story

Toshinou Kyouko

@mirroroftruth a couple of things, but tokyo ghoul & tokyo esp censorship of blood is pretty annoying - mostly tokyo ghoul

Logan M

Long story short, we benefit from it by drastically reduced prices and superior quality, so I'm not going to complain,.

Toshinou Kyouko

8:04 AM

I guess

Logan M

But at the same time, it is annoying. Just not annoying enough that I think it should change.

Toshinou Kyouko

It should probably change, for the benefit of both parties - its difficult to change though

Logan M

But for us, a third party not involved directly with the failings of either of the two main ones, it's a nice situation.

mirroroftruth

ya that one is nice

Toshinou Kyouko

true

Logan M

8:07 AM

Even if you have to pay DVD prices to escape censorship, they're still around 1/5 of what Japanese people pay for the same content. And piracy is still rather easy as well.

Toshinou Kyouko

yeah i dunno how the japanese can pay so much

Logan M

Because they have rich parents.

mirroroftruth

all of them

Toshinou Kyouko

not for much longer :V

Logan M

No different from all the rich kids who go to school here and who crash luxury cars every couple months, only to get another one.

mirroroftruth

8:09 AM

crash car

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM I really don't understand how this is possible.

If I were rich enough to buy my kid a luxury car, I'd still make him work for it. Hard.

And had he crashed it, he can buy a new one himself.

Toshinou Kyouko

Yeah, my money is for me

Logan M

Going to a college which charges 50k tuition per year taught me that there are a surprising number of absurdly wealthy people in the world. When they all gather in the same place, common sense starts to stop working.

mirroroftruth

maybe blackmailing

Madara Uchiha

@ToshinouKyouko It's not that. I know what it's like to live under tight budget. If you don't learn that, you would never have appreciation to the things you have.

Logan M

8:11 AM

I'm pretty sure that's a big part of the situation in Japan as well, though maybe not people as absurdly rich.

Toshinou Kyouko

At my university, there was outrage because one of the societies went on a skiing trip and were throwing iPhones and laptops off the balcony of the hotel into a nearby river to see who could waste the most money :(

@MadaraUchiha this is very true

mirroroftruth

@ToshinouKyouko so rich

Logan M

As long as there are people willing to drop a few thousand dollars at any problem, you'd be wrong not to take advantage of that.

mirroroftruth

here i am i can't by myself a smartphone

Toshinou Kyouko

I'm just a cheapskate in general, I wouldnt buy a >$100 phone even if I had loadsa dosh :P

Logan M

8:13 AM

I know people here who make over $100 an hour tutoring for introductory courses, and they can manage to get 40+ hours scheduled every week.

mirroroftruth

@LoganM i would definitely

Toshinou Kyouko

@LoganM @_@

I will be anyone on A&M's friend for 5000€ :)

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM I'd rather $20 an hour doing nothing than $100 standing and speaking 8 hours a day.

Don't get me wrong, I love teaching and educating.

Logan M

One guy I know charges double for weekend appointments and last-minute calls. And yet he often gets people making last-minute calls on the weekends for 4+-hour study sessions.

Madara Uchiha

But I think that finding stuff that generate money while you sleep is more efficient.

Toshinou Kyouko

8:15 AM

I tutored for €10 an hour :'(

Logan M

@MadaraUchiha Tutoring isn't much standing and speaking. More like watching people do their work and telling them when they mess up.

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM Oh, tutoring

Still though, it's not easy

Toshinou Kyouko

mostly I just care about having a job I like, rather than one that lets me bathe in money

Madara Uchiha

I've had my fair share of 5+ hour tutoring/mentoring sessions

Logan M

Yeah, lecturing is pretty poor by comparison.

Madara Uchiha

8:16 AM

@ToshinouKyouko Why a job?

My goal is to reach a point where I don't need a job :)

Toshinou Kyouko

@MadaraUchiha well, you have to earn money to reach that goal :P

Madara Uchiha

@ToshinouKyouko That is correct.

But having a job I like is a means, not the end.

My eventual goal is to play computer games in my underwear all day long :P

Toshinou Kyouko

If im going to be working for most of my life, i'd rather enjoy it

@MadaraUchiha weekends :D

Logan M

@ToshinouKyouko Strictly speaking, you have to make money. But earning it isn't actually necessary.

mirroroftruth

@MadaraUchiha i think i took it in wrong sense :D

Toshinou Kyouko

8:19 AM

@LoganM >_> I guess

Logan M

(at least, in American English, that makes sense. Not sure in British English)

Madara Uchiha

It's actually pretty simple.

You need to make more money than you spend.

Toshinou Kyouko

it makes sense in british english too

mirroroftruth

@LoganM na na joking

Madara Uchiha

Spend less, make more = win.

mirroroftruth

8:20 AM

@MadaraUchiha for saving

Toshinou Kyouko

there isn't that much difference

Madara Uchiha

People usually fall when they spend more, but don't earn more to justify the extra expense.

Toshinou Kyouko

you guys take out all our u's

colour

Madara Uchiha

@mirroroftruth I'd rather finding a good investment over most saving programs.

Toshinou Kyouko

favourite

etc

Logan M

8:21 AM

Yeah I know that and we change the meanings of cookies and biscuits.

Madara Uchiha

A saving program will get me about .5% a year

mirroroftruth

that sound nice

Madara Uchiha

A proper solid investment can generate 3~4% a month easy.

Toshinou Kyouko

I am not confident in my investment knowledge :(

mirroroftruth

a long term planning is nice

Madara Uchiha

8:21 AM

A "high risk" one can get you as high as 10%~15% a month.

Toshinou Kyouko

but you can also lose your money

Madara Uchiha

It all depends, and you need to learn a lot (and fail a lot) to eventually succeed.

@ToshinouKyouko Of course you can, and you will.

But just because you fell down, doesn't mean you don't get back up.

If that were the case all of us were still crawling on all fours.

The trick is not risking anything you can't afford to lose :)

mirroroftruth

@MadaraUchiha point to be noted my lord :D

Madara Uchiha

People put their entire life savings into dubious investments, and then lose everything

Logan M

Or you could just sell drugs and rake in all the dough.

Madara Uchiha

8:23 AM

You usually see them on TV in some scam investigation show

@LoganM That's also an option.

But that carries an entirely different risk.

Toshinou Kyouko

put all your money on a horse

Logan M

There's risk associated to anything.

mirroroftruth

entrepreneur

Madara Uchiha

@LoganM There's risk in staying tied up to a job.

Statistically, most of us will get fired, downsized, or otherwise get thrown out.

If your job was your only source of cash, I fear for you at that point.

mirroroftruth

lunch time

so i going to invest some

:D

Logan M

8:25 AM

If I was doing my job for money, I'd have already quit.

Toshinou Kyouko

@MadaraUchiha you can get another job

Madara Uchiha

@ToshinouKyouko That can take months

Toshinou Kyouko

you can live off savings for a while

Madara Uchiha

@ToshinouKyouko Many people don't have savings.

Logan M

I'm fully aware that my talents could easily make me 10 times as much as I make right now so long as I'm willing to work on anything. But my time is worth even more than that

Madara Uchiha

8:26 AM

@LoganM My point exactly.

What do you work for? Money?

What are you going to do with all of that money if you don't have time to enjoy it.

No, you work for time. In a job, you trade your time for money.

I think the goal I want to reach is to have the time to do whatever I want, without worrying financially.

I don't want billions in my bank account.

I want just enough to live comfortably, plus some extra.

This is all hypothetically yes? Given that I already took over the world and you're all dreaming this.

Karasu

@Karasu Impeccable timing.

Toshinou Kyouko

Q: What Mangekyo Sharingan power does Itachi have?

Kakashi and Obito, have Mangekyo Sharingan powers but what power does Itachi have? I tried researching it but nothing is helping.

not watching any anime at the moment :p

Toshinou Kyouko

Elfen Lied manga is good

different ending~

Yuuki

Y'know, during the flying scene in Man of Steel, I always thought that Henry Cavill's smile looks a little too... villainous.

Toshinou Kyouko

[cant remember what it is though ]

Yuuki

It seems more appropriate on Lex Luthor than Superman.

Shinobu Oshino

@ToshinouKyouko I won't watch the anime, looks old >_>

almost finish the manga

Toshinou Kyouko

12:51 PM

it's 2004

that's not that old

i watched and read, really enjoy Lynn Okamoto's stuff

@ShinobuOshino if you liked it, you should read Nononono

Yes, here we are fans of confusing anime endings, for one more episode of "Did them survive?" [1] [2]. So, did the love doves Daichi and Hana survive the explosion of the (huge) ego block of Robin Goodfellow (formerly Puck)? If they did not survive, where are them? If they did survive, how? T...

Q: Why is Tokyo Ghoul too much different from its manga

I watched tokyo ghoul till episode 12 and after that i started reading its manga as i couldnt wait, however in manga there are many things that are skipped in anime, also the plot is also somewhat different going than in manga. So why is manga so different than anime?

user1306322

does anyone know another alternative to Virtual Audio Cable? >.>

for routing audio between apps

not just directly to in/out

audio cards have stupid design and there doesn't seem to be an easy solution to routing problem

for example, you want to play a game and show it to somebody while talking to them on the same PC

either your friend hears only you, and not the game, or he hears both you, the game, and themselves in a feedback loop creating a demonic chaos of echoes

there's gotta be a better way

but there's not

Karasu

user1306322

also I'll be adding image tags to Karasu soon

what sorts of tag categories do you guys want?

obviously, Characters depicted on the image would be great

maybe Artist

Q: Does Captain Earth borrow elements from Gurren Lagann?

As a viewer of both series from start to end, I can see several elements in Captain Earth that seems to "borrow" from Gurren Lagann, especially in the second half of both of the series: In episode 23, just before the entangle link, Daichi was interfered by Planetary Gears and put inside a dream...

Categories of tags really only makes sense if we're going to have a lot of tags. I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm certainly not going to make more than 10 tags total, each with at most a few dozen images.
