I'm glad it's looking like it's getting some great reception so far in regards to the actual show they produced, though. honestly, just this one little eight-episode thing as a "yeah, we proved we can do this and do it well" with one of the most live-action-hostile settings and concepts for a series in any anime/manga ever is fine enough. stopping now would make the most sense, because soon after this point they meet Tony Tony Chopper and he would have to be either a muppet or a CGI monstrosity and from then on it only gets more absurd

For those of us who would really like to see someone try that in live action, the fact that Amazon holds the rights is extremely disappointing. They won't do it and now nobody else can try for quite some time.

but for real they cannot go past Reverse Mountain, basically the moment they hit The Grand Line they're encountering literal 70-foot-tall Giants and an island shaped like a cactus whose thorns are the cross-shaped gravestones of the dead pirates killed by the bounty hunters there, followed by a half-man half-hippo transforming monstrosity conquering a kingdom of snowy mountaintops full of fistfighting gorilla-rabbits and that's after they meet the mountain-sized whale who is trying to smash apart a continent with his forehead the prologue before Reverse Mountain is really about as far as they can go before it dives headfirst into bananas territory anyways, tweets https://twitter.com/fuckyouiquit/status/1697668973893128405 https://twitter.com/fuckyouiquit/status/1697669548907040820 https://twitter.com/fuckyouiquit/status/1697669688451534914 https://twitter.com/msolurin/status/1697618944452907309 https://twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1697741353440936329

Why is everyone so keen on Bluesky? Twitter was full of Nazis under Dorsey, who refused to remove them. How's Bluesky going to be any different?

Also the Biden admin is pushing for expanding overtime qualifications for salaried employees so a lot of good poo poo going down right now.

Still wanna see it done someday, even if they scale the more ridiculous stuff down like the games seem to have. E: I'll gladly send you a  x10 gift cert if they even make it to Reverse Mountain in this series, there's no way they cover 100 chapters before Netflix loses interest or the actors age out (because Netflix made the show too slow)

I went to a 4 day week for mental health reasons two years ago, no payrise under a million bucks would convince me to go back to 5 days. I don't care that I'm on less money, I make it work. That extra time is so much more beneficial to me than the cash.

My work piloted 4x10s on my shift and even with it still being 40 hours I love it. It's only an extra two hours a day for a whole extra day off and I love that trade. We get to work from home two of those days too, so i don't even have to worry about a commute most of the time. Now if we would just stop having people popping out babies constantly so we could be fully staffed, it would basically be a perfect job.

4 10s is good but can wear on at times. I’ve done “980s” a few times and those are nice. Work an extra hour for a few days and every other Friday is off.

I had a schedule like that years ago and even though it was at a terrible place it was still pretty drat cool. And my shift started later in the day so I never had to wake up to an alarm clock. It's probably the last time in my life I had a decent sleep pattern.

I work 12hr shifts. Mon-Wed, every other Thursday. It's less days at work, long weekends and guaranteed OT. I'm picking up extra shifts right now to save up money and those shifts are all OT. There's stuff I hate about my job, but the schedule is great.

I hate ads and I hate wasting time doing things I don't want to do, so the math is quite simple. E: Even if all Bluesky offers for now is a platform for viewing recycled Twitter jokes but with fewer racists, sexists, and fascists, I'll take it. I cannot stress enough that if Ben Franklin were alive today the constitution wouldn’t just implicitly refer to Pornhub but would explicitly refer to it by Ben Franklins favorite categories Shit Fuckasaurus has a new favorite as of 06:57 on Sep 2, 2023 |

That didn't last for G+ either, but right now? 'Twitter but the Nazis aren't on it' is a pretty good proposition.

I don't mind a trailer before the movie as long as it's skippable and based on things I've liked before. The Hulu model of interrupting a show 3 times an episode to show 4 of the 15 ads they have can gently caress right off. I just wanna rewatch Fargo in peace.

I'll even watch trailers at movie theaters or ads on streaming if I'm with other people, and I don't talk about it because the response to my position is way more variable offline. I do watch ads at the local independent theater, because they're not a multi-billion dollar corporation serving me ads on top of overcharging me for a service, their tickets are always reasonable and their pre-roll is their upcoming slate (very relevant to my interests yes please) interspersed with charming local ads, all run off a 10 year old donated 720p projector. That's cute, that's fine, hell I found the dude that painted this house off their ads. E: SA is an exception to my adblocker, too, because they're non-intrusive and generally at least amusing.

I''ve been binging Monk on Amazon prime and the only ads I've seen are for a documentary about Hawaiian surf girls that Amazon also made at the start of episodes that I can skip right away. Amazon is also trying to be a platform for other streaming services, some of which are free on their own websites/apps and those ones have ads, is that what you're thinking of? This has been on both the website and the Roku app built into the tv. Netflix talked about introducing a cheaper tier that had ads, but I don't think they've bit the bullet on that yet, or at least, it's not enough cheaper that my parents switched to it

I've been watching Foundation on Apple tv + or whatever it's called. First you have to skip the trailer for some other show, then the ad for the foundation podcast, then the recap, then the intro. You are now 2:30 into the episode and skipped four times just to get to the actual episode.

You are now 2:30 into the episode and skipped four times just to get to the actual episode. The only Apple tv shows I've seen I've pirated, so I have no idea what it's like there. We were talking about Netflix and Amazon Prime specifically And I don't think skipping the recap or the intro should count against a show. Sometimes you like the opening and sometime you watched part of a show and then dropped off for a few weeks and you can't remember every thing that's important, and if the show has been going on for a while sometimes the recap is something you saw years ago and only have vague memories of and now it's relevant. I watched all of Deadwood when it first aired on HBO and yeah, every episode was introduced with a "previously on Deadwood" and then the loving credits for the show, and I loved it. When I binged it later on a rewatch I skip it (sometimes I'll rewatch the opening) it's just a gesture to an older time.
