@ton.yeung Oh yeah, I always forget that the Noble Phantasms in Fate/stay Night aren't the actual artifacts.

On the other hand, that's really weird considering Saber didn't have access to Avalon while it was (spoilers)...

Nasuverse is one of those things where I like the setting but don't really enjoy the story.

Surprisingly, Twilight also falls into that category.

The background is somewhat interesting, but the writing is absolute shit.

Morwenn

Like 50 Shades of Grey.

Yuuki

And that one thing with werewolves and imprinting is f--kin' creepers.

50 Shades of Grey is all shit, nothing about that story is redeeming.

But... but bondage :o

That guy is messed up.

Have you seen his tract on how he "lives minimally" or whatever it's called?

Taisho

Yuuki

He buys clothes, wears them once, and either donates them or throws them away. I think he says he just throws them away.

Even people I talk to who've never even been to a third-world country (or Detroit) agree that he's crazy.

Yuuki

01:14

@ton.yeung The thing is, he isn't living like he's in a 3rd world country. He purchases all of his groceries through some online delivery service. He uses a portable gas burner stove that is likely less efficient and more wasteful than a common electric (or even gas) stove. He chooses to use Uber over public transportation or just walking. He plays League of Legends (which isn't so bad in and of itself, it's just not "living like he's in a 3rd world country).

The clothing issue I already discussed results in a lot more water usage than normal (those places you donate to usually wash the clothes they receive) and artificially drives up demand for clothes manufacturing.

@ton.yeung The sole reason why clothes are made so cheaply is because the industry is downright exploitative of the aforementioned third-world countries simply because the industry knows people have such little understanding of how their clothes are made.

The point is that he hasn't solved anything and pretends that he has. All he's done is offload all the "tough" parts of living to other people.

One, it's not sustainable. Two, are we really going to discuss the ethics of forcing the costs of high consumption onto the poor?

As far as I understood it, what most people got from the article was that he was going on about how he moved to a far more "earth-friendly" and "low consumption" lifestyle when it's the absolute complete opposite.

The issue is that Uber has a bunch of external costs associated with it. Uber encourages its drivers to buy new-model cars with sketchy financing.

And considering that Uber drivers don't just magically appear when you need them, you have to factor in the cost of them driving around aimlessly until someone needs them.

Your point? Just because taxis exist doesn't mean they're automatically good.

For one, parking would be even more of a nightmare than it already is.

I'm not saying the solution is "go buy your own car".

He has a perfectly good solution sitting right in front of him, but he refuses to take public transportation.

@Dimitrimx that half is going to change to be bigger with how smart phones are making people complacent. in Australia there's now going to be fines for people who are walking obviously because they are using their phones

because these people are a cause of road accidents

@Dimitrimx wp as in Word Press?

Dimitri mx

yep

wp as in wordpress

@Memor-X solution

Memor-X

@Dimitrimx nope because that's too close to the road

Dimitri mx

Thats the whole point.

Memor-X

@Dimitrimx i thought the point was to avoid accidents? or was it to have them gathered nicely to wipe then out

@Dimitrimx OP had another question before about similar manga

probably also burn worthy?

mirroroftruth

but someone answered already

Dimitri mx

looks like a fairly easy reverse image search one..

I might double check that when home and vote to close non the less

Memor-X

07:17

@Dimitrimx it was a Scanlation Group Credit page that they wanted IDed

unlike other images those sometimes can't be answered with a simple google reverse search since some scanlation groups will use the same image cutout on all their credits pages

Yuri-ism at a time did an original image of Madoka-kami with a bunch of fans blowing at her

Dimitri mx

@Memor-X in case of scanlations you can actually limit your reverse image search in years. Would indeed not be close worthy, but still fairly easy to find

@Sakamoto is it opinion and broad question

@mirroroftruth No, I don't think so

Toshinou Kyouko

It's a legal question

kinda

mirroroftruth

i don't know

the answer is yes or no and there should reason to back up your answer

nhahtdh

@mirroroftruth Just look around the site to see where the manga comes from (fan translation?). Also check disclaimer/legal notice

Taisho

nhahtdh

For a moment, I mistook her for Asada Shino from SAO.

Toshinou Kyouko

I have to work, so I will leave it for now

mirroroftruth

keep working o/

nhahtdh

@mirroroftruth If it says stuffs about fair use and use fan scanlation, then it's most likely illegal

mirroroftruth

so the according the site , it depends mangaka is getting something or not

nhahtdh

^I don't get what you are saying

Toshinou Kyouko

10:49

@mirroroftruth if it's a legal site, they're probably get something

mirroroftruth

if they are legal site then they pay to mangaka for using their manga

Toshinou Kyouko

if it's illegal - it's likely they won't be

it's why they often tell u to buy it yourself in raw

nhahtdh

Or "buy it when it's released in your own country"

Matt

@Tosh

In case anyone tries to close this as too broad - I edited out the particular site's name — Toshinou Kyouko ♦ 6 mins ago

Doesn't editing out the name make it broader?

mirroroftruth

oh, i see those msg in some of the site where i download anime and manga

nhahtdh

10:50

@Matt Agree

It's even less context in this case

People would ask "What site are you reading from?", since there are legal sites

mirroroftruth

i get it

nhahtdh

@Matt: Nice edit

mirroroftruth

so the answer will be yes if the site is legal and no if site is illegal

nhahtdh

Yeah. The answer has to explain why, though

mirroroftruth

yeah

Matt

10:55

I can find a privacy policy but nothing on legality

@nhahtdh cheers

nhahtdh

@Matt Look for DMCA/disclaimer/legal

I have to wait a bit until I can access the site...

mirroroftruth

which site

Matt

There's like nothing at the bottom where things usually are

@mirroroftruth mangapanda.com

@Matt oh

i use mangafox though

I use MangaFox for reading, and KissManga for HQ version of the manga pages

mirroroftruth

that is right

if they provide you offline facility then they need to make you pay for that

I know that for manwha/webtoons there is currently a app that also allows offline.

You can download all chapters, only once, and can't keep them longer then 1 month
