Fucking tease.

The deliveritems clan? How does that work?

What? Most android devices are cheaper than paying the Apple premium.

You've got a job waiting for you with Nanotrasen's finest doctors aboard the illustrious Space Station 13!

It's a bunch of slapped together simulation systems in a trench coat, slathered in a layer of spessman slime and clown wigs, and shoved in an ancient diy MMO engine from the mid 2000s solely kept alive by this game.

More importantly, you can strap someone to an operating table in medbay, slice off their butt with a scalpel. You can then wear it as a hat.

Alternatively give it to the chef so he can cook a butt burger, or give it to the roboticist who can slap it on a talking roomba that runs around repeating what people say but switching words with "BUTT" (help changeling in BUTT!). People without butts cannot fart emote, and certain illnesses that would cause them to fart instead deal internal damage until they explode in a shower of blood and viscera.

Oh hey, it's that thing from my last therapy session that hit me like a fucking train because the therapist pointed out correctly that I never grew up feeling this, which is something I've never truly acknowledged.

Like I get it logically, but rarely have actually felt it.

Thanks for the reminder friendo.

Always one of the character ones. The others you can get at stores pretty easily. Not as a kid, but still.

It only takes a few taps to go from a meme, video, or picture you're showing someone to the browser.

Didn't have smart phones when I went to college, but I had some friends who prided themselves on how fast they could get to browser history on an "unattended" laptop, as in, I turned around to talk to someone else for ~60 seconds.

Like the idea, but feel like the hotdog bun is too much bread

~~Jesse~~ BadmanDan, what the fuck are you talking about?

I enjoyed it, but so far it's no comparison to SAC. Felt a little off-balance.

It was very fast paced, especially compared to Stand Alone Complex anime(s).

A lot of the characters talk a big game, then make minor mistakes, and it feels odd. There wasn't too much that felt like they were being outsmarted by a clever enemy, they just kinda fucked up. And then the mistakes ended up not mattering at all? It messes with the characterization I'm used to seeing for these characters, and it felt odd to have the mistakes not really have any impact on anything either.

While I enjoy the animation style, it was weird to see the *-koma tanks animated like little creatures first and robot spiders second rather than "little metal spiders primarily, who are secondarily little creatures".

Overall, it feels like they're going for more action/comedy than heady cyberpunk sci-fi show. Still good and fun, just not quite what I expected.

And it's literally just the first 25 minute episode. Who knows where it'll go from here.

Have you watched many of the other takes on GiTS? There's plenty of repeated themes and scenes across the different incarnations of it.

Except all of those examples are from the Old Testament, which most Christians tend to pick and choose from, largely believing that it's effectively been wiped away by the New Testament. They treat it mostly as historical text about the lead up to Jesus's arrival, generally not as any active set of laws or rules. But it is very much a pick and choose source of hypocrisy for what different Christians consider as "still counting". Tons of examples like this to garbage person using it to justify their bullshit.

Also worth noting that the Christian Old Testament is from the same source text as the Jewish Tanakh, except that Jewish interpretations/translations are based off older material/translations closer to the original "source" text where Christian ones tend to be based off early translations into languages like Greek and Latin, and the Christian take on it reorganizes it roughly chronologically.

All this to say, most Christians see this shit as the horrid backwards ancient shit it is, and these examples are mostly present in Jewish canon as well despite the ever present edgy internet atheist brigade's hyperfixation with exclusively taking on Christianity.

Still awful, still worth calling out, but being more informed helps everyone make better criticisms.
