Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Snatcher The thread is gone.

@Tasuki What a troll LOL.

Perhaps they felt they overshared

I would like to share a sad news from my country.

Here we have "sanctuaries" for rescued animals. If you are not familiar with the term "dancing bears", those are bears bred in captivity and forced to dance in public places in the last century.

Now after years couple of, yes you guess it, people walked into the bear sanctuary to gather mushrooms on their own. They met one of those bears and the bear attacked one of them.

The woman is out of danger now.

But they are debating to euthanize the bear!

So they walk into a territory of protected animal, get attacked and now the animal needs to be put down. This is unacceptable for me!

I say we have too many humans ruining the nature and not many bears. The bears should be protected not humans.

Rant off

@Zuljaras I’m not sure the fact the woman was Romani has much bearing on what’s essentially the same scenario as Harambe. She probably shouldn’t be in a protected bear sanctuary, that’s for sure. The bear shouldn’t be euthanised. But resorting to baseless slurs and slights on an entire race of people seems a bit strong.

@nessisonett this does not make it less true. The same kind of people put nose rings on those bears and made them dance for money.

They are still using horses as mens of travel in the damn capitol and abusing them daily.

And I am yet to see one good deed from the people mentioned above.

I am living amongst them, do you?

Sorry, we don’t really allow these kinds of discussions here, and yes, that term is considered against the rules, even if you self censor it yourself, it’s clear what you’re talking about.

I’ve modified your comment to make it more about the bear. Let’s please not participate in that kind of discrimination in the forums from now on.

@Snatcher, the Dragon Ball Super manga is an odd one.

Firstly, It skips over the "Resurrection F" arc (likely to keep pace with the more briskly moving anime, and due to the fact that it got a separate manga tie in back when the film version released, though an incomplete adaptation as they wanted readers to go see the movie to see how it ends).

Secondly, it also skips over the "Broly" arc from the modern movie and goes straight into a manga exclusive arc that takes place after the Super anime.

Despite these things though I generally find it to be a better telling of Super's narrative than the anime is though, particularly it's version of the "Goku Black" arc. The mangaka, a big fan who was working on a fanfiction sequel to GT called Dragon Ball AF before being taken on by Toriyama as his apprentice, seems to have a much better grasp on series continuity than whomever is running the show over at Toei.

Fun fact, if you can track down Dragon Ball AF online, the narrative being set up is pretty similar to what would go on to happen in Super's "Goku Black" arc, with an evil Supreme Kai assaulting Earth with an evil version of Goku.

@Zuljaras I am quite surprised that PETA hasn't gone after them yet. Seems right up their alley.

@RR529 Well I have seen the movie, and I know what happens in F, But what I didn't know was about how super was made, thats pretty cool.

Keep yer dang horses outta the capitol!!!

@Zuljaras That’s an extremely sad story. Meanwhile, everyone else is getting upset about a slur not directed at them. Oh, people

Hopefully they spare the bear’s life, hopefully the woman who was attacked heals up.

@bimmy-lee well they can't. It is against the law but the police allows it as the government buys the votes of those people.

@BloodNinja it is so easy to say "omg racism!", "omg discrimination!" when you have zero experience with this kind of stuff

@Tasuki I do not think PETA operates in my country. Also PETA kills more animals than it saves.

Let’s move on from that particular subject and avoid hyperbole 🤗

One person complaining and a moderator enforcing the site rules is not an outraged mob.

@Zuljaras Indeed! If you are comfortable sharing, what is your country?

@BloodNinja Bulgaria. I think it is displayed in my profile here in NL.

@Zuljaras Bulgaria! Amazing. Do you participate in Olympic Weightlifting? Your country has some of the strongest lifters, ever.

@BloodNinja No idea to be honest. I do not follow much sports and the Olympics

@Zuljaras Yes while that is true about PETA that seems like something they would jump on. I mean. They went after Ringling Bros for years accusing them of mistreating their animals.

YouTube tech question

If up uploaded an episode of The Simpsons to my youtube, kept it as unlisted, (it's an mp4 that I ripped/converted from iTunes), do you think youtube will see it's copyrighted material & block it? Any idea what could happen as a result? Every time I've uploaded something to youtube, it says "checking for copyrighted material".

I'm not sure what penalty could be if the video get's flagged as copyrighted during the upload.

Anyone can answer, but I'll also tag @Eel & @TheJGG, because maybe you have experience?
