Maybe. Uganda would have a favorable exchange rate on US dollars. A reasonable indiegogo could be a huge spark in Uganda.
DBZ (really Pokemon) is the point it started to go mainstream.
Bravestarr, He-Man (and the other really campy cartoons of the 80s) were often animated overseas in Japan to save money.
But then they took their skills and started making their own stuff.
And it took off (because it did things western cartoons wouldn't).
But the history of how the US outsourced production to Japan and it led to the creation of the anime industry is interesting in it's own way.
If only for the irony that many Japanese companies are now outsourcing to Korea.
Anime has a huge problem where most of it is just not that good.
The decline of the import filter kinda hurt western perceptions, IMO.
Oh geez. I remember being curious about both of those. Until I watched one episode apiece.
Bleach was just a bunch of cutaways of different charcters saying one line a piece for half an hour. It must have been a fairly late season. They had alot of characters.
I can back up Shin Sekai Yori. It's a good choice.
Alot of people say it was good. But I never got it.
I was watching the episodes out of order though, so that may have had an effect.
What. some of us watched this stuff on Adult Swim back in the day.
I mean, I watched Casshern sins out of order and got most of it.
You can watch most superhero anime out of order and enjoy it.
*monogatari might even be more amusing out of order.
Abstract isn't really enough to make it out-of-order watchable though.
Actually, isn't it filmed not in chronological order already?
GiTS: SAC can be a little slow at times and lacks the atmosphere. But it's still good (possibly better) on it's own merits
GiTS: Arise is relatively lacking, but a nice entry if you can avoid spending lots of money to see it.
Rumor is that in the original manga she takes a body based off a "westerner" anyways.
Not only was it a dumb thing to get hung up on to start with, it may have been accurate to the original source.
Which would have made it go from banal to simply incorrect.
Yeah, the whole point of GiTS is human versus machine anyway.
And when they do they get criticized for making it.
I remember as a kid in school we were basically raised to idolize the yuppies and hippies of the 60s liberation movements.
So now the young want to make their liberation movement and are instead punching at phantoms.
The one nearest me requires all students in the arts and sciences to take a class in race, gender or oppression. And it's an ivy (not Brown)
What? I know the new graduates these days are ignorant of history, but opposed to WWII docs? I don't buy it.
That's just dumb. Either real life has eaten the onion or you guys are pulling legs here.
@JULZIFICATOR ...That's sadly very plausible in my experience.
I just wanted to figure out what caused the rise of Trump and made some Facebook posts. Now no one follows me anymore.
OMG. That's insane. Even the part where no one can decide if it's sexist or not.
Yeah, reading primary sources should be the assumption.
And that means reading stuff that may be detestable.
China, I'm told, has created whole Female-only spaces (like: cities).
And then I'm told they decided to push traditionalism recently and the government trying to push women into the home.
Don't have good sources on either of those (take it with a grain of salt) but that's the rumor if anyone wants to confirm.
You wouldn't want creepy guys looking for intercourse with a bunch of nude women.
LOL. That's actually kinda funny. Who comes up with these things? "women can't park so we're not going to let them park here" "woman parks there and takes a picture"
I will say I see alot of new drivers. They...probably shouldn't park in a space like that.
You have to have some low-speed practice to park reliably.
and if you aren't you'll find out pretty quick and probably make sure you don't make that mistake again.
I'm not looking forward to the demise of cars.
I like the freedom of just leaving.
And fixing and maintaining them is a nice distraction on the weekends.
That's actually scary. Imagine what a motivated third party could do tot he neural net before you reformatted your mind?
*sigh* does Mother Jones still claim to be the paper for the journalists?
Does anyone care about spelling in forums anymore? I still remember when intentional misspelling was a meme.
In other news, I had some videos queued up and saw Tim's video on Minds. Is anyone on it and have an opinion?
It's too dangerous for major issues in my opinion.
Too easy to potentially manipulate.
And if there's anything of value at stake, interested parties WILL find a way to compromise the process.
At the very least, in person voting is a small barrier to some forms of manipulation.
You could make a similar argument for voting by mail, but that's got a bit more control involved because ballots are usually mailed by the sec. of state, which helps limit potential abuse.
Personally, I think most US elections are too easy to vote in already. And there are districts where the number of registered votes exceeds the number of residents already.
One proposal I've seen is to mandate that electronic voting machines require physical tickets as a record.
And when the potential to manipulate elections presents itself, people will manipulate them. Heck, 4Chan manipulates online polls just because it can.
SSN would be very easy to compromise, IMO. In the US we don't have government IDs beyond that either.
I've seen government security. I wouldn't trust it to get a ballot to everyone who needs it and still be robust enough to not be compromised by some intelligence service somewhere.
If it's cards you could easily start by intercepting the cards or reverse engineering the numbers.
You might make an argument if you had RSA tokens or something.
But I've seen enough stuff get compromised I wouldn't trust 300 mil RSA tokens to be a workable defense against a determined opponent.
And you match the numbers to the records. Yeah, but how are you making the numbers.
There's going to inevitably be a pattern (the people who run these things tend to be lazy)
It doesn't even have to be 100% decoded, just enough to flip a couple strategic locations.
If you talk with people in digital security they'll tell you to assume you've been compromised from the start.
And you have to keep things simple enough non-technical people can figure it out.
And credit card information gets leaked all the time from various hacker collectives and rogue agents.
