This is the original one.

In the og Rebecca's horse is named Billy but I have recently learned that the dub renamed it Copernicus and you know what I'm with 4Kids on this one. Resident smartypants weird girl Rebecca "Hawkins" Hopkins would definitely name her horse Copernicus.

Wait, is her last name Hawkins or Hopkins?

It is Hopkins in the original and Hawkins in the dub. I imagine it was for mouthflap reasons.

Theories on Crawford to Maximillian? I can see the mouth flap reason for Rebecca since I heard somewhere that the west cares a bit more about that than Japan, but I don't think it works for Pegasus's name.

-"Crawford" is a silly uncool name but "Maximillian" is an impressive villain name, also it has "million" in it, because he is an ultrawealthy CEO

-"Pegasus" is a cool name but as a villain we want our cool teen protagonists to call him by his surname, an act which communicates formality and distance as well as disrespect

-Making Pegasus his last name instead of his first name and giving him a new, different, cooler first name accomplishes all of the above while still allowing him to be known primarily as "Pegasus" like he was in the original

Y'know, cause the Japanese do last name first, it never occurred to me that Pegasus's name isn't following this rule in the sub. I thought his first name was Crawford. I thought his name was Crawford J. Pegasus, not the other way around...

Round 1, Week 3: Match 24 of 32

Propaganda as submitted by YOU, in initial entries, tags, and reblogs:

Better Call Saul:

• "The classic tale of taking a comic relief character and going 'actually, what if they had a rich and tragic backstory?' except its a canonical prequel to the famous breaking bad's funny lawyer man"
• "You've got tragic sibling relationships, you've got tragic romantic relationships (with a great fucking romance mind you), you've got a man who's trying so hard to be good and yet beaten down time and time again for it that he falls into old habits"
• "It makes me INSANE ok, it makes me insane"

Yu-Gi-Oh!:

• Submitted without propaganda :(

yu-gi-oh! needs no propaganda. we have exodia

So it turns out that ChatGPT not only uses a ton shit of energy, but also a ton shit of water. This is according to a new study by a group of researchers from the University of Colorado Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington, Futurism reports.

Which sounds INSANE but also makes sense when you think of it. You know what happens to, for example, your computer when it’s doing a LOT of work and processing. You gotta cool those machines.

And what’s worrying about this is that water shortages are already an issue almost everywhere, and over this summer, and the next summers, will become more and more of a problem with the rising temperatures all over the world. So it’s important to have this in mind and share the info. Big part of how we ended up where we are with the climate crisis is that for a long time politicians KNEW about the science, but the large public didn’t have all the facts. We didn’t have access to it. KNOWING about things and sharing that info can be a real game-changer. Because then we know up to what point we, as individuals, can have effective actions in our daily lives and what we need to be asking our legislators for.

And with all the issues AI can pose, I think this is such an important argument to add to the conversation.

I often think issues like this are a result of “The Cloud,” and by that I mean the propagation of this notion that data and the internet exist out in the ether somewhere and not like...on someone else’s hard drives which are housed in hundreds and thousands of huge warehouses which require climate control.

Most humans already have a LOT of magical thinking about computers, and I really wish we spent more time teaching not just basic computing skills (how to navigate an interface), but basic INFRASTRUCTURE knowledge. When you think of it as chatting with Jeff Bezos’s huge garage full of nerd hardware, it’s easier to make the logical leap to say “hey i wonder what kind of resources it takes to keep all these hard drives from overheating...?”

Life is so beautiful idk why I’m on tumblr lol

Once again, I hope SAG strikes too

We could lose acting, filmmaking, television as we know it.
