    Charles Martinet, Retires from the role of Mario.

    As was mentioned in the Arlo post, a replacement has already been cast. Not sure if the guy doing the voice in Wonder is there on a permanent basis or not, though. Maybe Martinet is having a hard time doing the Mario voice consistently due to aging vocal cords or some private health concern...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Don't underestimate voter apathy, Wonko. That's how we got Trump the first time.

    Worst business decisions ever.

    We don't know if Netflix would have moved into streaming the way it did if it HAD been bought out by blockbuster. They could have squashed Netflix's experimental streaming thing before it was even a thing. (The buyout offer was proposed back in 2000)

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Putin is slipping.... Was expecting Prigozhin to fall out a window or get sick and die after drinking some tea, not get blown out of the sky by an "erroneously targeted" surface to air missile.

    Anti-Semitism

    I'd imagine convenience, probably, depending on when they immigrated, where they originally settled and what Christian sects they were most familiar with.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    While he included æ in his kids name, that's not the letter he's actually obsessed with. He's just an idiot who failed upward due to his parents and dumb luck. The only thing he's ever been consistent with is being a pompous a-hole.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    So sacrificing usability because he subjectively thinks it looks better. Musk being Musk..... He apparently did the same thing at Telsa, which is one of the reasons his cars do so much through the screen instead of physical controls.....

    Anti-Semitism

    Yea, the posting style seemed similar, was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Bettering Yourself

    Even WITH programmable microcontrollers, you need a grasp on the fundamentals. Drawing to much power can damage the microcontroller, and over-current can easily fry LEDs and other components. You also have to understand the limitations of the microcontroller you are using. They aren't magic...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    You are right that we don't fully understand consciousness, but there are a great many things we don't understand, that doesn't mean consciousness doesn't manifest as an emergent property of complex interacting systems. If you iterate Z₂ = Z₁ + C on a complex plane and filter out the results...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    SEVERAL biological processes do seem to have a quantum component to them, but given the tiny scale of cell parts, that just goes with the territory. It doesn't mean that consciousness itself is a quantum property. Heck the flash memory used in SSD's and SD cards relies on quantum effects to...

    Palia; a cozy, animal crossing like MMO.

    Lol, yea, I noticed that earlier today. Went to see how much it would cost, though IF i expand my farming and grow high-yield crops while doing some intense hunting in Bahari Bay....

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    He was talking about external bots. The ones following him are internal bots created by x-twitter themselves. There's a difference, you see.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Good luck getting 3/4ths of the state legislatures to agree on such an amendment, heck, good luck on getting 2/3ds of congress/state legislatures to even bring it up for vote. Congress can't just up the age due to the 26th amendment. The country is in bad shape, but it's not THAT far gone, at...

    AI don't trust techbros

    Funny thing is, in certain areas, AI is better than a Human at VERY specific tasks. Training biases are MUCH harder to screen out on complex problems, though, so all AI should be looked at with a skeptical lens.

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    Or maybe, just maybe, and hear me out here, someone who belongs to two minority groups is gonna have a hard time meeting other people who happen to be in those same two marginalized groups. You also don't get to choose your parents, and his mother, while raised Anglican, had converted to...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    To tell you the truth, you're probably BETTER versed than the average person who was raised Christian, at least on the foundational texts. Culturally, perhaps not, though. On paper, I was born Methodist, but my parents were rather non-devout and I pretty much dropped what little belief I had...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    I'm not sure if atheist is the right word for Paine, but he DID consider organized religion of ANY flavor to be evil. Given his writings on the subject, he'd probably end up in the deist camp. He was also a staunch abolitionist, was against capital punishment(which nearly ended up getting him...

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    Cherry picking a bit there. One could easily make such a list with any other religion.
