Diving into expanded Dragon Ball lore makes me melancholy they didn't do more with Raditz. So much unfulfilled potential regarding his and Goku's relationships, let alone the rest of the family.
He's barely ever mentioned after his time as a villain, the black sheep of the family. :(

Finished up a week-long marathon of Dragon Ball DAIMA this morning. Fun goddamn experience, hit so many correct notes for me.
I adore Kid Goku and Dragon Ball, DAIMA brought me back to those good feels. Fight animation and choreography was frickin' amazing.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.
Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Been struggling building my latest MTG Commander deck: Hope Esthheim mill. Tons of soul sisters creatures, some blink, lean entirely into the life AS mill.
But trying to fit everything in and having enough removal / draw / protection / ramp... I'm not the best builder, it's a struggle.

Spent the past few months tinkering with an Elf Typal deck for Magic: The Gathering. Didn't want to use a typical Elf commander, found a big beautiful hungry boy in Thromok the Insatiable, and things clicked!
ATM I dunno how else to tweak the deck to make it better.

this is going to make a lot of the classic fighting game footage on long abandoned channels that only exists in like 240 end up looking like smeared dogshit
Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

What most people don't realize is that the vast, VAST majority of people on SNAP are working full time jobs.
Often times they are working *multiple* jobs.
It's never about being lazy, or wanting handouts, it's about class warfare and the rich destroying everything. Just like it always is.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

its worth noting the shift in public consciousness because we're talking about billion dollar propaganda being counterracted by just, people having principles and a working moral fabric
Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.
