AKIRA and the stuff by Hayao Miyazaki, like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Nausicaä. Can’t really decide between those. Most other anime look like cheap quality productions to me in comparison.

Because our design is not particularly intelligent …

Edit: Scientific proof of my thesis:

• Vanilla ice cream and/or raspberry sorbet topped with pitch black, salty sweet licorice sauce. (common only in Denmark afaik)

• “Birnen, Bohnen und Speck”, a stew made from pears, green beans, bacon and a herb called satureja/savory. The pears in this one are a certain old breed, that is pretty hard and sour before cooking. (This is a local delicacy from the city of Hamburg in northern Germany)

• Watermelon and feta cheese, especially during hot summer days (common in mediterranean countries)

• Pickled cucumbers and feta cheese (those are eaten as a combo around the black sea afaik)

Not that weird, just relatively uncommon. I can recommend it, try one if you can :)

That has always been a pretty classic combo on cheeseboards. Probably that is why they came up with the idea to put it on pizza. My favorite pizzeria has it on the regular menu too. They make thin slices of halved pears for it, so the pear is not raw after baking.

I certainly do. Every internet community is a bubble and I do not appreciate getting into fights with a brigade of people who hate me just for having an opinion that does not align with their dogma.

Look at her eyes. That cat has seen some shit in there!

Issue: “I don’t like music where autotune is used to heavily modify the singers voice.”

No, that is not my issue. What I am unhappy about is that genres I started to listen to when there was zero autotune abuse (and which I loved very much), have been ruined for me because now 80% of the releases have Autotune robot vocals.

Investigation: There are artists which do not use this type of effect in their music. What to do: You can listen to music which does not incorporate this type of sound. Examples of other sounds you may avoid if you do not like them: Screaming, the tuba, Ed Sheeran, etc.

Nope, there are many details that define the style of an artist or a genre, if they use Autotune is only one of those. I am certainly not going to listen to artists and genres I do not like, just because they use their natural voice.

Sure, why not.

There’s a lot of artists today who don’t do that?

That statement is true by itself ofc. However, my point still stands because there have never been more artists using purposefully misadjusted autotune than today and there are even genres now in which it is mandatory.

Plus vocal correction in general has been done for ages, it was just much more labour intensive before autotune.

How is that relevant to my comment? Sure, vocal correction is what Autotune was initially developed for but as we all can hear that is not what they do with it nowadays, instead they purposefully misadjust it to create the most unnatural vocal sound possible …

Not sure what you mean to imply, please elaborate. All I know is that:

1. Antares Autotune was first released in 1997, before that there was no Autotune, so it was definitely not used before that. The intended use was to inconspicuously correct small mistakes, when singers would not hit the exact note, in a way that listeners would NOT notice if the plugin was adjusted correctly.

2. One year later, Cher made purposefully misadjusted autotune famous with the song Believe

Yes it was, because you could hear the singers/rappers actual voice, instead of purposefully misadjusted autotune.

The short episode summaries on Netflix that show before you watch an episode often spoiler the main plot or even the plot twist. I will never understand why they do that.

On point! However, the good thing is that often it works and results in a sweet cuddly nap.

The probability that there are no aliens is very small, considering just how large the universe is. For the same reason we will probably not get to meet them though.

My cat sometimes suddenly freaks out and jumps around like crazy, so no way.

You should get an endoscopy of your esophagus. A narrowed esophagus can have several reasons.

• Reflux

• Food intolerance

• Fungal infection

Had a salad made from a mix of vegetables and tropical fruit, on La Gomera once, best salad I ever had in my life.
