>>127513 It's flawed in multiple ways.
He says that while Japan does spend a reasonably large amount on defence much of that is on maintenance and then goes on a tangent about earthquakes(which actually isn't related to the budget of the military as much as one would assume or certainly as much as he does). Most nations are in a similar situation, modern military equipment costs a lot to maintain and constantly requires it, I remember reading a few years ago about how at any given time less than half the German sub force and less than half the German heavy air transport were actually operational as they either were in the process of being repaired or needed to be repaired. All advanced militaries suffer this and in Japans case it is probably likely to be a bit worse simply because they place a much larger emphasis on their navy comparative to their army than many other nations do and ships are expensive and need constant maintenance, it's long been held that in order to have one aircraft carrier you actually need three, because only a third will actually be operational at a given time.
Likewise, the industry just fine too. He mentions that the companies make less as a percentage than others do from military contracts and yes of course a lack of foreign buyers contribute but so does the simple fact that that is the way Japan is, it's made up of huge corporations that don't specialise on defence but still have a hand in it. However, Japan still actually has a defence industry which is more than can be said for a great many other nations and due to the size of their economy and manufacturing base it can easily and rapidly expand in the event of a war.
The demographic crisis is not well gone into either. He mentions that Japan started ageing before China but fails to mention that China is actually ahead of them now and ageing faster than they are, and that is by Chinese statistics which have a great many problems, the real situation is very likely to be far worse for them. He says the Japanese army is small and too old with an average age of 35, too many chiefs and not enough Indians he says, that is exactly how you want a pre war army, it's how Prussia bounced back after their defeat by the French and how Germany did so after WW1. If you have a limit on the size of your army, whether that be due to budget or the demands of a victorious nation, it is beneficial to build up an experienced core as that can serve as the nucleus of an expansion of the army if war ever does occur. But it's a moot point because war will not be fought in such huge numbers anyway, particularly not for Japan who is a naval power.
Finally he says the Japanese lack experience as well. So does everybody. Policing operations against goat herders are not experience.
In addition he leaves out a major point to all of this in that as I mentioned, Japan is a naval power. The Chinese navy is the largest in terms of numbers but it's a coastal navy with very few ships that can operated away from the coast and those that can are nothing to write home about, there blue water navy is far weaker than that of Japan(not to mention the US of course). The Chinese are an export economy and also rely heavily on energy imports that pretty much all come in through the Indian ocean while for their weak blue water navy to actually leave Chinese waters and get to that Indian ocean to protect the energy imports that their nation relies on to actually function they have to get past Japan, Taiwain, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India and as I said, their navy is weaker. If they ever got into a war with Japan, just Japan alone, they can kiss their energy imports and their export based economy good bye.

They are not actually a pacifist nation. The fiction that they are is only skin deep and the world knows this, China knows this. You don't build up such a large ocean going navy or an indigenous defence industry in the first place if you are pacifists, you don't build up force projection assets like aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships if you are pacifists. Remember there are 4 foreign military bases in Djibouti and one of them is Japanese, you do not do this if you are pacifists. The Japanese navy is also quite active in external waters, the Japanese know what they are doing and know who their neighbours are and how they should prepare and they have plans and assets based on that.

The video struck me as a very surface-level analysis without much backing in real understanding of geopolitics, particularly that of Japanese force-projection and maritime experience. Not to mention the complete and utter omission that the United States 7th Naval Fleet is based out of Yokosuka... Much worse is that they didn't mention the fact that the United States and Japan are in a long-standing mutual defense treaty where the US has committed to defending Japan from invasion, which in and of itself takes a massive financial burden in defense spending off of the Japanese...

Found a philosophy youtube channel that's interesting to listen to. They cover a lot of modern philosophy and every video from what I can tell is directly reacting to various comments and disagreements people might have. Despite the otherwise inflammatory topics they discuss, they have a very mild-mannered and analytic approach where they refer back to the philosophical underpinnings of said topics instead of directly delving into politics. It's very refreshing to hear things from a philosophical perspective instead of a partisan political one.

People like to complain about "The Loudness Wars" a lot, but I noticed something. I downloaded a movie recently and I can barely hear the damn thing!! It's like an absurd audio snobbery reaction to the loudness wars to have audio with such "dynamic range" that you have to have your audio level set to 100% to hear the quiet parts, but then quickly set it to like 15% when a loud part happens unless you want to blast out your eardrums. What a stupid thing. I get that quiet parts should be quiet, and loud parts should be loud, but come on! There has to be a better way than forcing the end user to constantly play with their audio settings, like... I dunno... doing this crazy thing called "leveling".

The interesting thing is that at a glance it does strike me as more flexible:
>Defence recognises that there are both positive and negative aspects to having animals in the workplace. >As a general principle, Defence does not support the bringing of pet animals into the workplace; where it is allowed, bringing them into the workplace is a privilege, and Defence personnel must treat it as such. >The local policy decision to allow animals to be brought onto or kept on the Defence estate and which premises (including clubs etc.) rests with the CO / HoE.

The alternative I've seen is where instead they just show text with the audio, which is less engaging I suppose.

>>127721 If you imagine aerogel as being like a sponge, the individual pores inside of the sponge also add to the surface area figure. Aerogel has such a great density of pores, and they are so small that the combined surface area is quite large. To draw an analogy, if you had a piece of cheese and cut it into many very thin slices, you could undoubtedly make a very long, albeit thin, continuous piece of cheese. Similar to how the pores of air contribute to the surface area of a piece of aerogel, the over all volume of something you could imagine as having a potentially very high surface area if it was drawn thin.

For the company he talked about, the cars would regularly get cleaned and because people would rather not be fined, there's a pressure to be as clean as possible. $40 per day was just the cost of cars near by me when I checked a similar app. In the Netherlands because it's pay per minute, he showed one cross town trip that only cost a few euros. Mainly, his pitch was using a car sharing service only when necessary and then using public transit otherwise; in his case, the cost of using a car sharing service presented an advantage because there were lots of things he wouldn't have to pay for like gas, insurance, maintenance, etc.
I think it's an interesting idea.

It's an interesting idea if you like old man sweat and you don't need a car. Sure, if you want to travel a short distance once a year with a car ant not just ride a bike that one time for some reason then I agree it makes more sense.

>>127749 That's very similar, only this time he does not have to jump or move side to side so much, he can just run straight ahead, also the enemies are mostly further away which makes their slow moving projectiles even harder to hit, I think you would have to actually intentionally stand still and let yourself get hit for them to hit.

>>127748 They're not too slow, and they're coming from all directions. But more he makes it look easier than it is by having good awareness, just randomly jumping about would eventually land you in front of an attack, if the HUD were there you'd be able to see more of how chaotic that run is. Also he's making precise shots to parts of the enemies extremely fast to disable some of their more dangerous weapons, all while managing ammo, health, armor, and swapping between weapons to deal ideal damage to each individual enemy before it becomes too much. This is all to say, it's a whole lot harder than it looks.

>>127751 They are slow... I could throw a tennis ball faster than that. Do you know how fast bullets are? I don't but probably at least twice as fast. It is just random, because they aim at him and they are so slow, all he has to do is just not be where he was a minute ago and they miss.

>>127753 He's doing exactly what I said... Only he seems to get hit a lot by enemies that he is not looking at too, he probably should move in a more circular pattern so the enemies at the side miss when they shoot at him as well as those in front.

I can't believe you would compare this kids game to Touhou... Touhou is real, it's visceral, it's deadly. Fairies don't mess around, they attack in formations and saturate the area so you can't just side step from the one spot where you were before, they are trained killers, they work as a team, they are not playing around and that's just the fairies, the bosses saturate the whole screen in precisely executed attack patterns meticulously designed solely for the purpose of killing the player, they don't just account for side stepping they account for forwards, backwards and diagonal movement as well, they are bloodthirsty cannibals that think of you only as their next meal. And you can't just get shot 10 times and then be back to full health 10 seconds later because you get a health pack, this is real life you die if you get shot and you can only come back to life 3 times.

I've found some good second monitor fodder that eats up a lot of time!
GDQ, the speedrunning event isn't nearly as good as it was back in the day, but the channel at least added some novel "shows" that happen between the events and I think some of them are pretty good. "Super Boss Brothers" has two people compete in old game mini-events (like "gather the most coins in SM3 in 10 minutes") and the commentors are Big Jon (my favorite speedrunner) and TheBlacktastic and they're really entertaining.
This is a link to it in playlist format:

On the one hand, I would say, "hopefully some counter can be found for them," but on the other hand a technological arms race for nuclear weapons isn't exactly something to champion either...

I don't really watch 3d series but I think Japan probably produces similar content to what most TV series are as well, they have their own crime and drama shows.
They have a historical drama series every year called a Taiga drama, I have seen two of them. They have fairly interesting topics, I saw Yae no Sakura which is about a Samurai's daughter and Gunshi Kanbei which is about a strategist in the Sengiku Jidai, I thought they were both quite good. But it can be difficult to find them online in English and in good quality.

>>128399 I was thinking that at first, too, but I imagine the majority of British and other foreign soldiers that died here back then never had their bodies repatriated across the ocean. This is something I'm completely ignorant of, but my assumption is that the repatriation of bodies is a very recent phenomenon, at least for the common man.
When I think of what would be the "moral" decision here, I think it would be for him to be buried here in the US alongside his compatriots. I'm not sure if there's such a thing as a US cemetery for British war dead of the revolutionary war, but I assume he's rejoining his compatriots in some way.

>>128401 You are right in the dead were rarely repatriated, usually soldiers would be buried bear the battlefield(like in this case) or they might set up a military cemetery, like how there are Soviet Military cemeteries located in Germany and vice versa. I am not sure what the practice was at the time but you would think there would be cemeteries for British people somewhere in the US.

>>128412 ??? What is the fate of the west? Making comics?
I'm not interested in comics but I have seen videos like that about them on Youtube. I think the difference between the industries of comics and Manga and the follow on effects that has are interesting.
The Manga industry is fairly similar to the industry of writing and publishing books. An Artist has an idea and if a publisher likes it they will publish it.
But the comic industry is a lot different to that. It's generally a publisher deciding on the project and hiring artists to then work on it and they don't treat IPs as a series of works by an author but as a brand.
So what ends up happening is you get these huge well known Characters that have been around for decades that have had a myriad of different people working on them over time, creating different versions of the character and different stories with them that often are not in continuity with the other versions. It's like if the publisher of Lord of the Rings decided to make a new book set after the Lord of the rings with no input from Tolkein, kept going with that for decades under several new authors, ret-conning everything Tolkien wrote into oblivion and then deciding one day to reset the Lord of the rings series and now Tolkien's Middle earth is no longer the current cannon one.
It's absurd, Tolkien's world is Tolkien's world. Just like Hunter X Hunter is the property of Togashi Yoshihiro, sure, the nature of that does mean we are probably never going to see it finished but people accept that and I don't think anybody would want somebody else coming in and taking it from him. Yet that's just the norm for comics.
It even occurs in this smaller indie comic in this video, there are numerous versions made and he says they follow different stories and are not connected to each other with numerous different artists having worked on different editions and even the original creators don't seem to care about sticking to one cannon story and world.
This all seems to cause multiple problems. Firstly, the west doesn't care about anybodies property and is more than happy to do what they want with it such as what happened to the LOTR Amazon series and games.
But secondly, because of the way the industry is set up there doesn't seem to be much room for new material, everything revolves around established brands and there isn't the same mechanism for authors to create their own stories.
However because of the way it works in Japan we get a huge amount of different stories by people with their own ideas who can be given a place to published it and be given the freedom to own the world they create. This follows through to the anime industry as of course most anime is just animated manga. The West could never create an animation industry to compete because it lacks the industry to create the source material to begin with.

>>128414 For what it's worth, most of the money in American comics has traditionally been in comic
strips , published in newspapers and magazines and then compiled into books later. The heavily episodic format encourages simpler, more accessible stories, and it's low-risk enough from a publisher's perspective that they're much more willing to try something new.

>>128415 Is that true? It seems that there would not be much money in those strips. I looked Garfield up on Wikipedia and it did not say much about profits, just that it sold from $750 Million to $1 Billion in Merchandise in 2004. Which is a lot but it also says it's the most syndicated comic strip ever, others probably are not as successful.
But also it says
>While retaining creative control and being the only signer, Davis now only writes and usually does the rough sketches. Since the late 1990s most of the work has been done by long-time assistants Brett Koth and Gary Barker. Inking and coloring work is done by other artists, while Davis spends most of the time supervising production and merchandising the characters So it's still different than the standard comic book industry as he is still the one managing it even after 44 years.

It's nice to see him doing voiced videos again because from what I understand he was overwhelmed by the success/viralness of the A Press video and kind of went away for a while. The fact that he did video with his voice while knowing it will receive a lot of attention means he conquered that anxiety. His idea of monetization with the part at 3:37:40 (

Been listening to the philosophical, theological, and socio-political ramblings of a guy that likes to grill for a while. He's been making quite a bit of sense when it comes to certain topics and has brought forth some ideas that I had never considered. Albeit, no matter how right I find his points, it's somewhat a shame how fringe they are. Definitely interesting to listen to, but I think he's kinda way too beyond the pail for /qa/, especially given the frequent and overt political rhetoric.

Their length feels unjustified for generally how little they say about their subject. And it always tends to venture in the "oh wow this manga so ScaRryyyy" or the "oh no this internet subculture was so MessEd uP". To be as constructive as possible, I think he certainly has a skill for introducing normies to more niche media (some of my friends have finally given certain manga a chance due to his recommendation), I just also think his portrayal of more niche and cult media is a little... well it's like those music Youtubers that call breakcore "mysterious".
If you're still into long video essays to put on in the background and listen to,(and especially if you're /jp/) I couldn't recommend Hazel more. She typically makes videos about obscure media and the history of various subcultures (and when I say obscure I mean, some of her work is actively dealing with lost media). Here's a video where she talks about around 24 different OVAs; I'd say you should give it a try if anything I said sounds appealing.

A good argument needs bones in the form of the structure and composition of arguments and meat being how you portray it. In many cases repetition is done too much creating fat. The worse the video essay is the more fat it has on the bone.

And the more actions you perform automatically, the more you enter a dream-like state, becoming less rational and engaged in the activity. Fatigue probably also matters, further pushing you into the unconscious side. You can usually tell you are tired when you are getting irrationally angry at things, albeit if you are a big gamer it might be a pathological normal for you.

>>130918 I can agree with this, funneling all creativity into a lens of "What makes the most productive worker" is one of the key points of creating a perfect corporate dystopia where everyone is a depressed drone slaving away all their life.

one of the best parts of being in the 2020 era is that people are being much less retarded about farming. It's no longer about dumping chemicals into fields, but trying to maximize land efficiency.
Well, probably not so much on the mega-crops. But it's good to see a more scientific approach to embracing nature rather than an emotional one or a chauvinistic one.

>>133163 I drink off brand redbulls called red thunder but this is great advertising!
The locale for the video shoot looks like Nebraska or Kansas, but it's not. Uncanny similarity and the American style freight train didn't help dispel that first impression.

>>133163 Heh, this reminds me of classic TV in that the event is 20 seconds long at the end, but now I can skip ahead... so I did!
I wonder how these people manage to care so little about self-preservation, but it does look cool.

>>136598 I got a cool book last Christmas that teaches you how to make Pemmican and a bunch of other food from pioneer days. Along with how to build things like automatic fire stoker and smoke house. Pretty interesting. Pemmican sounds really tasty but I haven't gotten a chance to try making any yet.

Good lord, look at the length of these playthroughs:
https://www.youtube.com/@reallyreallylongathon It's a "speedrun" channel of, well, really long games. Lots of RPGs and stuff, but also 100% categories. I don't know how youtube holds all this stuff.
I guess if you're going to spend some time in a cave all by yourself and you have an internet connection this could keep your entertained for a while.
