According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it’s from 2000. Here’s the artist’s page, didn’t see a date attached to it there unfortunately.

I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.

• To start with, it looks like they used a row-resolution base and then possibly tried to AI upscale it (look at animal faces on the “protect kids” wrap and the artist signature/items on the table)
• The pointless circular blur near the collar of the box holder
• The weird clone/stamp action going on with the side of the box - just use a solid box if the goal is efficiency vs quality!

But also leaving the artist’s signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it’s modified feels shitty too. This isn’t a meme or political community so I’d think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.

A 3 day old account that only posts clickbait links to 2 domains, n24hr.com and sciinsider.com – I wonder if there’s any connection.

His cowworker definitely knows his shit.

I hope Danny DeVito plays the villain.

S04E02, ~33min into episode. Conversation between Firecracker and Sister Sage.

Firecracker:

Purpose. I sell purpose. These people got nothing. Maybe they lost a job or a house or a kid to Oxy. Politicians don’t give a shit, mainstream media tells them to be ashamed of their skin color, so, well, I bring 'em together, tell them a story, give them a purpose. Which would you rather believe? That you belong to a community of warriors battling a secret evil, or that you’re a lonely, inconsequential nobody that no one will ever remember?

When go to you

happen does How a typo this like even? It’s like they noticed the word “you” was missing and then decided to add it haphazardly. If “go to” was omitted it also would have been coherent.

I can’t remember if I stumbled across it at a video store or caught it on cable or something, but even though I was a KitH fan I had no idea they were making a movie. Absolutely love it though and even with familiar elements and some returning characters it didn’t feel like just a rehash of the show. I was bummed to learn (from the 2022 “Comedy Punks” documentary) that they were totally miserable making it and there was bad blood between Dave and everyone else.

In a Neal Brennan stand-up special (Piped link) he mentions he uses a Pavlok to shock him every 3 minutes on stage to remind him to smile.

(From Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996))

Can they just insist it’s pronounced like jimp and sidestep the issue? Imgur, .gif, GNOME, GIPHY get to set their own rules on pronunciation.

That YouTube tracking parameter is probably the one I encounter the most and it’s frustrating that the Firefox “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” doesn’t strip it out. I’m assuming it’s intentionally allowed by Mozilla because of some agreement with Google.

As part of an analysis of how […]

‘How’ what? Either their editors suck and missed the opening sentence or I’m just incapable of parsing English anymore.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy (Piped link)

El Torito:

El Torito is an extension designed to allow booting a computer from a CD-ROM. It was announced in November 1994 and first issued in January 1995 as a joint proposal by IBM and BIOS manufacturer Phoenix Technologies. According to legend, the El Torito CD/DVD extension to ISO 9660 got its name because its design originated in an El Torito restaurant in Irvine, California.

A 32-bit PC BIOS will search for boot code on an ISO 9660 CD-ROM. The standard allows for booting in two different modes. Either in hard disk emulation when the boot information can be accessed directly from the CD media, or in floppy emulation mode where the boot information is stored in an image file of a floppy disk, which is loaded from the CD and then behaves as a virtual floppy disk. This is useful for computers that were designed to boot only from a floppy drive. For modern computers the “no emulation” mode is generally the more reliable method.

I vaguely remember fighting with getting burned OS install discs to reliably boot. Another fun thing from around that time is if you happened to plug in the floppy drive cable backwards any disks inserted would be erased. That’s a great way to accidentally nuke your boot disk and be screwed if you weren’t near another working machine with a floppy drive. Lots of little headaches like that really drilled in the concept of redundancies and lots of backups (as well as not mindlessly installing a floppy drive).

Certainly there would have been methods available even then to either overlay changes (~cels) or exactly reproduce a base image (xerographic). I’m just impressed even using tracing he didn’t just 1:1 reproduce the same scene, tiny variations exist (nose shape, left fist, V-neck shape etc.).

This was aligned against the dog:

Wow, I just noticed he didn’t just change the text but actually redrew everything.

In no way did I suggest Floyd should have been killed.

But you insist on going out of your way to bloviate about how he was such a terrible person. That’s the entire crux of your argument and it just doesn’t matter. The whole point of having human rights and rule of law is not to pick and choose when they apply. Everyone should care when anyone is needlessly killed or abused, regardless of their past or personality. It’s possible to want a person to die but still insist that others don’t kill them.

And please chill with your moaning about everyone’s reading comprehension and intelligence. It’s not conducive to polite discussion and might give people the impression you’re just trolling.
