How am I acting like a liberal? You shouldn't use words you don't understand the meaning of

When's the last time you explicitly called a woman a cocksucker? It's used as a homophobic jab like 99% of the time.

Y'all attacking Nazis by implying they suck cock, with the implication that that's shameful (and not just because the cock is attached to a Nazi, give me a break).

Honestly though, the most insulting part of your comment is calling me a fucking liberal. Ew

I guess you could consider someone who is staunchly whitehat with no exceptions to have a creed/code, where they consider the rules transcendent of any specific situation (e.g. nazi websites).

Back when Minecraft existed and both archive tools had been established software for at least 9 years?

I feel like you and I have very different understandings of the 4chan userbase demographics

The only way you can tell it's fake is that Elon doesn't wear suits

Deliberately sabotaging your job as a government worker (assuming you're not working in a military industrial complex or enforcement job) plays directly into the right's framing of government as inefficient. It's important that public-facing positions be competent to foster public trust; after all, those positions are what conservatives dismantle first as pretext to abolish an agency. After public discontent sets in through first-hand experience dealing with understaffing, those public services become ripe for privatization.

The text is translated to English, yes, but the original art was drawn for Japanese text which usually flows top to bottom, right to left. The entire visual design of a manga or comic book is structured around the reading direction for the language it was originally written in. When adding translations, you can't just change the bubble locations since they're almost always incorporated into the artwork directly.

With the above in mind, you effectively have two options with manga: flip the artwork before adding the English translation so the bubbles flow left-to-right, or leave it alone and just explain the reading direction differences. There are often artistic, logistical, and financial reasons for the latter approach, so it tends to be more common.

When on physical paper, most manga books are also read by flipping the pages right to left, and most of them explain this to English-language readers trying to read it the "normal" way on the last page.

Maybe a hot take, but I thought it looked cool in the concept images (though those are obviously unburdened by the constraints of reality). Unfortunately, so much of that sleekness it was originally going for was killed by the time the physical product went into production, and the low build quality is very apparent from pretty much any photos of one you can find.
