Subs for almost everything, including things like donghua or live-action stuff, it just always feels way better to me.

The only exception I can think of where I preferred the dub is Dragon Ball. And I've seen Princess Mononoke in Japanese, English, and German, and enjoyed all versions a lot. Outside of anime, also SpongeBob and The Simpsons in German, but that might just be bc that's how I grew up with them.

thank mr skeltal

now imagine this: both are possible

Best internet connection in the entire neighborhood.

it was going to make me start from the beginning each time

that's actually not the case, after the third gauntlet room there's one of those giant drill spikes you have to hit that falls and breaks through the floors below, letting you skip all 3 major gauntlets, only leaving the short 4th one

regarding runbacks, imo they're fun, so sure, they take time, but anything in a game takes time to do. And all but one of the runbacks are less than like 40s long, I see them as a phase 0 of boss fights, and greatly enjoy them. They also change things up so it's not just permanently fighting the boss itself the entire time. My caveat here is that the movement system being fun adds to that a lot, so in things like the 3rd person Souls games, if it's just a long sprint, it's not as interesting, whereas Silksong has one of my favorite movement systems in gaming, so I even looked forward to the runback when I died against Last Judge.

It really wouldn't. If a corporation reduced their production of for example red meat, another one would simply scale up their production, because the demand of the market would remain unchanged.

Also, there's already more than just a "small percentage" of people who have dropped red meat from their diet. All vegetarians, vegans, pescetarians, and people who eat meat but stopped eating red meat due to the environmental impact add up to several percentage points, which is absolutely measureable and impactful.

We made an unspoken promise to the animals we domesticated: If you provide for me and my family, I will ensure your line never fades from this world

It is unethical to abandon that promise, and the extinction of a species may be the single greatest wrong mankind can commit.

Dozens of species go extinct every single day, in large parts due to deforestation for animal agriculture. Acting like keeping a handful of species we eat from extinction is somehow noble is silly by contrast. The concept of a species is a human construct in the first place, individual animals don't care that their species (which isn't even natural, we bred them like this) is kept going.

If you compare the health of wild animals to domestically cared for animals, you will obviously see that domesticated animals are healthier and have greater opportunities for enrichment and happiness under human care.

It's not about if those animals live under animal agriculture or in the wild. The animals in the wild already exist, the ones in captivity wouldn't exist at all, if we didn't breed them.

Yes there are vile humans who torture and keep animals in miserable conditions, and they should pay consequences for their cruelties and greed

Don’t you dare paint every farmer with that same corporate battery farm brush.

Most animal meat nowadays comes from factory farms. Worldwide it is roughly 90%, in the US it is 99%.

I sometimes use :))))) to express giddiness :p

soraaa >:(

Reacting to stimuli like the colour of light is irrelevant. My phone camera would fall into the same category, then. A light switch reacts to getting pressed and turns on a light, it's reacting to a stimulus.

What matters is sentience, which plants cannot possess, since they don't have a central nervous system. And even if they did, a diet that includes meat takes more plants, since those animals have to be fed plants in order to raise them.

They all make it up as they go along. It's very similar to religious beliefs in the way it is personal. Each has their own set beliefs on where to draw the line of what is vegan and what is not

The extent to which we are tied to every living thing on Earth means that many vegans have set impossible goals.

Regarding these two, is this any different from human rights? Where people draw the line regarding slave labour, child labour, which type of humans they care about (considering racism, homophobia, trans phobia, ableism etc). I'm sure lots of people have impossible goals regarding human rights, but working to get as close to those as possible is still sensible.

Octopath Traveler would be great, ty for doing this giveaway! :)

I started watching The Boys again last night, jumping in at the beginning of S3. Watched a whole 6 episodes, good stuff!
