I actually have a lot of wuxia in my collection. I don’t plan on adding Hero to it thought because it’s really effective propaganda and I dont want to expose my future kids to stuff like that until they have learned how to analyze a text. Not denying that the movie is awesome, it’s like a religious experience. But the core message is that the best way to world peace is to let one strong man conquer the world to unite it, and most importantly that this truth is so self-evident and persuasive that every enlightened character in the movie switches from opposing the emperor’s conquest to being a supporter or at minimum exits the conflict as best they can. Seriously, go watch it again, you’ll notice that pretty much every line of dialogue is building this thesis. But it’s not like Detective Dee and the Phantom Flame or Crouching Tiger; you can’t just enjoy the beautiful fight scenes, your critical analysis cap has to be on for the whole movie.

Oh shit how have I gone my whole life without watching that movie

Homestuck. I never thought I would be looking back on The Bucket Incident with nostalgia, but it sure was one of the things that happened.

I had a lot of art of Jade on my computer back then. Wish I hadn’t deleted it all out of shame

Also, more seriously, I didn’t think Greece was a 3rd world country? I was pretty sure that in the Cold War you guys were firmly on Team Capitalism and are therefore a 1st world country. I could be wrong, though

Stupid distinction, imho

God this brings back memories. Back before it was obvious that the world was fucked

What pride flag is that?

Combination of 1 and 3.

My understanding of the research is that piracy is a benefit to the videogame industry, doesn’t measurably affect the film industry, and has a slight but measurable negative effect on the music industry and book publishing industry as a whole. Guess what two kinds of media I pirate the most?

I dont remember John ever being the guy on the left. He may think hes the guy on the left, but we all know he’s a twinkfailure

The website has a message on it that sounds pretty definitive to pretty much everyone. But you know how it is. Piracy site goes down, comes back up a week later, turns out the feds are running it as a honeypot

waow

Funny thing is, if the instructions are written down I’m pretty sure they are copyrightable

Wait, I thought Mega was relatively safe? What happened with Kim dotcom?

Pretty sure the whole picture is CGI.

Unfortuately I haven’t found a way to make the filament hang in the air like in the picture

Certainly would disarm me lol

Please tell me that these are two trolls interacting and not genuine idiots

On one hand, ew. On the other hand, its nice to know that its not just my brain that is broken and read it as fingerbanging at first

That’s some thorough alt text

I mean, obviously, they’re great, how else am I supposed to watch the classic anime Brothers Conflict

I don’t bother putting TV series on my Jellyfin server because they exist and are frankly more convenient.
