That's not just second episode and it's dorky animation, the first one is dogshit too. I feel like Uzumaki just can't get a proper adaptation. And it's probably a curse we won't have a chance to lift.

Found this today and I think it's cool and true, although too shooort.

I've stumbled upon that in my feed.

As I always move fast I have a problem with feeling like I loosely strapped a brick onto myself when I put my phone in my pockets, including waist and knee ones. It chaotically moves at each step and I'm tired of that. To the point I take it in my hand when I'm in a real hurry.

I guess, Lemmy has a lot of people who either run or do outdoors activities and labor.

What are the best positions on the body to make it move less when you walk or run? Are there some great smartphone holders, straps that you can recommend? Can I use it with casual clothes without it looking weird?

I suppose the ones you place on the belt are obvious to suggest first, but I haven't seen them since the death of small button phones and current smartphones are kinda big for that to work. And no, putting it into a bag, a suitcase or a backpack wouldn't work for me for I prefer not to be dependent on carrying them on me.

FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone posted it around a lot, and it sounds legit due to it being on the .gov site.

I wanted to dig into the original version since I'm a native and have some edge in using it over my homies. Even some rewards at that, kek.

Welp. Mostly it's an easily translateable basic vocab including media-specific words. I suspect it's an american or a russian-american person writing in Russian and sometimes\always using an automatic translator. And they are stupid at that, as they don't know how complex punctuation works or don't read what they post. The punctuation is kinda confusing, sometimes hinting that it's a copy paste from a translator.

• отличается от таковой - is a rare turn of words that many russians fail at, just like americans fail at they're. I don't know many persons who can correctly put it into a sentence. That's probably a translated text since they can't handle the right placement of commas.
• ставленником - is a weird archaic word that's sometimes used by nerds of polisci or other humane arts weirdos, it isn't used anywhere else. That's maybe a clue to who wrote it.
• нового глобалистского социализма - sounds weird, like a direct translation from English.
• Next, there is a division between the elephant and the donkey, both lowercase, without any punctuation to tell them they are referencing parties, not animals. It's fucking stupid. And not stupid as a result from an AI prompt that can produce a correct phrase, but from a literal translation of a literal translation that lost any indication of what it refers to.

That's just the first picture. All of that sounds weird to my ear, and my assumption, clouded by the US gov's decision to put it onto display, is that it can be legit, but it is written by a person with a political\media background, creating a draft in English, that they lazily translated into Russian. That may be on RT employes, especially international ones.

There are a handful of russian-speaking users on fediverse who can tell I'm wrong.

Ah, yeah, and it really mentions 'manga' although it doesn't make any sense.

Since Russia started to use DPI to block YouTube and other stuff, there arised a couple of solutions to fuck with it. I've come around this repository or, even better, the end of it's page for many cross-platform tools that may let you avoid DPI, and I've used some of them to prove they are working.

They don't work for resources that are explicitely banned, it only undoes this one layer of blocking. As Russia didn't block YT (like Twitter) that's enough for that one usecase. It's no private VPN or something, but it may become useful in the future.

• Babylon is in modern Iraq, one of the countries invaded by the US in the aftermath of 9\11
• Both claimed to be the highest towers in the world
• Both are in populated influential trade centers
• The Babylon myth with different languages VS the War on Terror, affecting policies worldwide, growing tensions and fear in the post-USSR world, now - post 9\11 world
• The pronounced reasoning behind the 9\11, told as a fatwa by Osama, starts as follows: All these American crimes and sins are a clear proclamation of war against God, his Messenger, and the Muslims. Not that far from what caused the abrahamic god to prank Babylon.

This connection is loose, lacks context and mixes very different things together, but I haven't got a pleasure to shower any longer than that to think things out.

How BS is it?

Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don't count. Let's say it's live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?

Durability-wise? Pain-wise? Covering or showing-wise? Where did you inked your first one?
