Cloudflare is down so I can't watch Yorknew arc on my day off. Want to talk about hxh?Just something I noticed is that hxh is half Togashi sharing his passion for gaming half writing a story. When he is actually writing it's good, when he is sharing his passion for gaming it mostly doesn't work. For example Hunter Exams is kind of a mix, he actually wants to tell an adventure story but also he tells it as if it was an intro into an adventure video game. So it's sometimes good sometimes bad. Zoldyck Manor is him telling a story so it's good but then we go to Heaven's Arena where you literally fight bosses and level up and it's insanely bad. Yorknew is story = good, Greed Island is gaming = bad, Chimera Ants is story = good. Then he stops indulging in gamer stories so it gets better but he also loses passion and gives up.So basically he works on the "one for me, one for you" kinda system. He can write a good story but that's not what he likes, he only likes writing gamer stories.
>>283853123>streaming>can't watch his trash
>>283853123That's why you download everything locally.
>>283853139I mostly torrent but I torrented a couple of versions of hxh and sound doesn't work in any of them so I just gave up and started streaming. Don't know what's up with that, hxh torrents used to work just fine.

hey fags, press f12 and check your storage.when does your posting permission expire?
>>283853123I can't even log on to check when my doctor's appointment is.
>>283853164Maybe you have a bad video player. Try mpv, it plays everything.
>>283853123Was up to the last 2 episodes of summertime rendering and now every anime website is down
>>283853164You should probably try out different players or audio codices. I seriously doubt you just happened to stumble upon several downloads with fucked audio.
I’ve always liked the Hunter Exam, still not sure why some think it’s not very good or mediocre.
Ninbros...
>>283853219I have VLC and used to watch hxh on it. Watched both anime on it. I think the torrents now are different than they were back then. But yeah, maybe a different player could help. However tpb is down as well so it doesn't matter at this moment. But hey maybe it's a sign to do house cleaning today.
>>283853242I like it too but think about all the stages to it. There are like three phases before it even starts. I feel like it could be condenced for better pacing.
maybe 90% of websites shouldn't be reliant on this shitware??
>>283853295the shitware ran a racket to get people to use their shitware
>>283853184Where do you see that?
>>283853295Cloudflare made sure to strong arm many into using it, not much of a choice without some serious backing and resources the average company doesn't have.
>starting to die once or twice a month now>takes down half the Internet with it whenever it doeswao cloudflare sugoi
>>283853295nonsenseeveryone should use cloudflare and AWSJust so if something happens to them the whole internet becomes unusable
Just a reminder bans are permanent during this cloudflare mess, and if your cookie expires you are also out of 4chins.The website isn't all reliant on cloudflare, but the captcha is, so the end result you will be forced to lurk if your captcha cloudflare check pops up.
>>283853309>>283853371care to elaborate?
>>283853123>hxhfag>too retarded to prepare offgrid backupsim not asking you to be smart, but at least listen to what togashi says
>>283853413we are in hell since 2014
What are you talking about? I can watch all my downloaded mkvs just fine.

>>283853413>we need to protect the bot check from botsI hate modern times. When is truck-kun gonna take me away from all this?
>>283853413This happened to me. I confirm.

>>283853440is there any proof of that?
I think we're back
>>283853295>>283853309>>283853371>>283853391I genuinely think we have reached the point where tech monopolies have gotten too big for their britches and are going to force the government to act to break them up within the next couple years. Everything being so centralized on a handful of services, AND those services getting enshittified because the companies that run them are trying to cut costs with AI and lower skilled workers to make profits go up since they can't expand their market anymore after total saturation, is asking for disaster. Piling everything onto the same bridge but also chipping away at whats holding it up at the same time. Every time Cloudflare or AWS goes down, the internet dies. Windows makes a greedy stupid decision about pushing windows 11 and hundreds of millions of people who can't switch off of 10 are left out in the cold. Etc. Corporate greed gets quietly ignored and a free pass to continue, up until it starts fucking with people's daily lives. And thats the step we are getting to now.
Streaming website I use doesn't work but at least torrent search websites are back.
>>283853549Not happening in America at the very least.They got their roots in DEEP. Trump admin feels like its run by Cryptobros.
>>283853549>and are going to force the government to act to break them up within the next couple years.Anon, it's not the 20th century anymore. Government will use these companies to force their own shit.
>>283853295That’s like telling the corner store to not be reliant on the mafia for protection services. As soon as you stop paying them an Italian guy will show up and start breaking your windows, or in this case a bunch of subcontinental goop scoops will start ddosing your web server.
>no "gone for real" thread/a/ is truly dead
>>283853649Why would anyone make that when you can still post
>>283853295>>283853614It's the NSA or CIA, isn't it?
>>283853549They’re already starting to break themselves up by hiring low wage dotheads and jungle Asians who leak customer data and break applications to cook their share prices higher because they have no more products to offer. We will be back to using landline phones for all remote communication within our lifetime and even that’s being optimistic
it's all back now
>>283853649
Everytime you now save an image from 4chan it's not the original image but a subtly altered and resaved image from cloudflare.This completely breaks the ability to follow the same reposted image.you can avert it by putting a ? and a random string after the image url
>>283853674they already shutdown landlines here
>>283853614does cloudflare not have competitors?
>>283853693works on my machine
>>283853549I want off this ride!
>>283853693test
>>283853674That's just worsening their service, that doesn't actually break them up. That would, at absolute worst, create a situation where they get so bad that they go bankrupt, someone else buys them up, and now you have an even BIGGER monopoly as you have fused them together with one of their competitors. If you want them to break up the companies for real, the only way to make that happen is enforcing anti-trust laws we already have on the books but which no one cares about because their options are enforcing the law or getting really sweet bribes.
>>283853123I can't access any pornwha sitesfuck Cloudflare
>>283853693Cloudflare image optimization. Apparently it's lossless. 4chan does worse by stripping important headers from images, like when an image is supposed to get displayed rotated.
>>283853730Shieet... I hope there's a way to fix that.
>>283853164Typical anime streamer, 85 IQ.
This is what happens when you centralize everything.
>>283853747>3DPD
>>283853759>Apparently it's losslessit breaks image following through the archives
>>283853256VLC, hello saar.
>>283853164Let me try to spoonfeed you anon. This torrent should be fine I watched some from it before:nyaa[DOT]si/view/1225621description says ep 129 and 130 are switched though by mistake. Your issue is likely that you downloaded anime with FLAC audio which requires codecs that aren't standard. Figure out how to install a media player with k-lite codec pack (or add it to the one you use if possible) or just look for something with non FLAC audio
>>283853781Yes, because archives use a byte based checksum of the files. But with 4chan stripping random headers (and changing what they strip sometimes), archive reverse lookup already was broken before.
>>283853800>FLAC audio which requires codecs that aren't standard. Figure out how to install a media player with k-lite codec pack (or add it to the one you use if possible) or just look for something with non FLAC audioGod you're such a retard. So many mistakes and bad advice.
>>283853789not him but vlc is comfy when you stream from PC to your phone via smb
>>283853549I genuinely think shareholders are more evil than child molesters since they're probably raping kids too.
>>283853745They’ll continue to exist as zombie companies, likely subsidized by the US federal government or through employee retirement accounts in some backhanded way, but no, nobody will be googling shit in 20 years. I have gone from using google services daily to occasionally checking my gmail account once a week.
>>283853826The stock market system is evil because the companies' primary obligation is to increase value for the shareholders.
>>283853822You sound like a whiny little bitch.
>>283853717The Genovese crime family had a competitor, they were called the Gambino crime family
>>283853866Is there any feasible way to get rid of shareholder primacy?
>>283853256>VLC>tpbPlease tell me you don't use uTorrent
>>283853717Those one.
>>283853866it's evil because the shareholders, the supposed "owners" of the company, are not responsible for the actions of the company in the slightestrule it so you can go to jail if you own shares in a criminal company and watch the market immediately learn morality
>>283853906Yes, but you won't like it because your people have been conditioned for over a century to hate it.
>>283853717I used to use GoDaddy for DNS about 5 or 6 years ago and paid double for much less than what I got with Cloudflare.
>>283853906No. A court in the USA confirmed a long time ago that shareholders have priority to anything else.
I can get in the archive again so I think its back
>>283853800>nyaa[DOT]si/view/1225621That's one of the versions that doesn't work for me but thanks for the advice.
>>283853945Source for that btwhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/283137797/#283148122
>>283853929Zero change, retard. 99.9% of the evil shit companies pull couldn't be more legal. In fact, through legalised corruption (called "lobbying") they keep allowing themselves to do more and more evil shit that wasn't legal in the past.
>>283853960Weird, it's definitely not an issue with that torrent. definitely something on your end with the media player you are using.
>>283853906A man with a tiny mustache and one nut to cryptonationalize every corporate entity and perhaps put a certain group of non productive “finance bros” into a work camp where they can learn actual productive skills like carpentry, welding, PCB manufacturing, and ditch digging.
>>283853932Not a fan of mass starvation sorry.
>>283853123Skill issues, why does 4chan need to use cloudflare
>>283853969think again, stinknuggetthe mere possibility of being penalized for a company going too far would reverse the dynamic and make investors care about more than just number go upboth criminal charges and fines should be transferable upward to all the owners
>>283853906More strict laws and penalties for violating them that put up guardrails for intentionally shitty behavior, and actually enforce them. For example, I don't think that >>283853929 is exactly right, that's not enforceable, but what COULD be done is that fines for penalties by a company have to be paid for in equal parts by the company itself and shareholders on a per-share basis. Which is to say, if the company you are invested in breaks the law and has to pay a fine, a big chunk of that fine comes out of the company coffers but it ALSO has to come out of your pockets directly as a shraeholder as well. You profited from their breaking the law, you are associated with the crime, for every share in the company you own you have to pay X amount. Suddenly, fiduciary responsibility turns on its head. Because this means that a company that breaks the law and triggers fines for its shareholders gets fucked TWICE. First in the initial payout, and then in the class action lawsuit when all of its shareholders come after it for having cost them money. Suddenly, breaking the law because wildly unprofitable, instead of a service fee you budget for in advance.

>>283853123>Then he stops indulging in gamer stories so it gets better but he also loses passion and gives up.But anon, isn't the current arc literally a gamer story? Do you not read the manga?
>>283854017You will keep spouting this story of a mass starvation that happened in China because it had to make an impossible leap from feudalism to industrialisation even from the homeless tent that you will have to move into in a couple of years, just as the average Chinese eats better than an American now that the painful phase is long over.
>>283853945Court rulings can be overturned, or superceded by actual law. So we actually do have multiple ways out of this. We just have to be motivated enough to take them.
>words words wordsThis thread is so ass
>>283853674>hiring low wage dotheads and jungle Asians who leak customer data and break applications to cook their share prices higher because they have no more products to offerthe fate of all public companies. Why do they go public?
>>283854071And Ukraine, and Cambodia, and North Korea. But anyways…
>>283854048Because the feds already own cloudflare, do really thing this shithole has enough revenue to buy 10x 100gbit links to be able to filter out all the ddos attempts?
>>283854102Because it’s easier than doing actual work and producing actual value
>>283854072It was the supreme court. >>283853968
>>283854116Yes, it's sad that not all Ukrainians starved to death, but don't worry, it's about to be fixed.
>>283854159edgy
Any great anime about unchecked corporate power?
>>283854159Right, Russia was directly responsible for the starvation. Today they will claim that Ukraine is actually Russia and everyone there is Russia, but they will still mass murder civilians there. Even though they say they're their own people.Strange people, those Russians.
>>283854071>chinese eat better than an americanWith what, dogs deep fried live in gutter oil?
>>283854225At least it's not fried in HFCS. Jokes aside, the average middle class chinese lives better than his american equivalent now.
>>283854142So was Roe v Wade, anon. Court rulings can be overturned. Fullstop.
>>283854071K they still caused covid by not canceling their bat buffet festival.
>>283853911
>>283854243There's like 100x less of them per Capita than there are of American equivalent
>>283854243Does China have an upper class? A lower class?
>>283854243Being a souless bug evens things out.
>>283854243>the average middle class chinesedoes it really count as "average" if the middle class is less than 5% of the population?
>utorrent
>>28385439397% are lower class
what kind of anime character would cloudfare be? for me it's evil woman
>>283854413Well I'm sure not using TRANSmission, queer
>>283853759>Apparently it's losslessYou mean lossy
>>283854435do you drive cars?
>>283854243Is this true? I feel like china has its own problems due to its system of governances and general lack of care for human life. they will probably take over all entertainment in a couple years though so I hope they make good anime.
Hunter x hunter is over
>>283854497i figured out how hxh will end
>>283853968>>283854072At least finish reading the wikipedia article ffs>Among non-experts, conventional wisdom holds that corporate law requires boards of directors to maximize shareholder wealth. This common but mistaken belief is almost invariably supported by reference to the Michigan Supreme Court's 1919 opinion in Dodge v. Ford Motor Co.>Dodge is often misread or mistaught as setting a legal rule of shareholder wealth maximization. This was not and is not the law. Shareholder wealth maximization is a standard of conduct for officers and directors, not a legal mandate. The business judgment rule [which was also upheld in this decision] protects many decisions that deviate from this standard. This is one reading of Dodge. If this is all the case is about, however, it isn't that interesting.— M. Todd Henderson[3]> "Dodge v. Ford is a rule that is hardly ever enforced by courts" is not that it represents bad case law, but because the business judgement rule means:>The rule of wealth maximization for shareholders is virtually impossible to enforce as a practical matter. The rule is aspirational, except in odd cases. As long as corporate directors and CEOs claim to be maximizing profits for shareholders, they will be taken at their word, because it is impossible to refute these corporate officials' self-serving assertions about their motives.Or just think for a moment about how silly it isAssuming you're not ten years old you have lived through several cases in which a company put the employees over a profit, when was the last time you heard anyone successfully being taken to court for giving their employees benefits package when that money could have been increasing dividends lol
>>283854495>China>AnimeKys pls
>>283854432>evil womanShe gives you fast access to sitesShe protects you from ddos Her WARP is great She's ojousama
>>283854435Oh, so you're a jeetThat explains it
>>283853123I'm watching HxH after not watching battle shonen in a long while, I'm at the Chimera Ant arc, and it's easily the worst arc, an insult to intelligence. At least Heaven's Arena had the decency to be short, but this arc is 40% or so of the runtime
>>283854470Only horses in my household
>>283854243I lost what little respect i had for the Chinese after seeing the webm where they punched themselves over Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.Imagine having a meltie because your government didn't want to start WW3 by blowing up our lamest politician.
>>283854517It ends with Togashi not continuing and pretending he has a tummy ache when called lazy.
>>283854570Heaven's Arena didn't feel short. Especially not on rewatch.
>>283854521okay, what do you call their attempts to copy the style.
>>283854497
>>283854630Cartoons
>>283853230>codices
>>283854630I would call it anime as well, don't listen to that retard.
>>283854470God, I wish I didn't have to drive a car. Being reliant on that stupid and increasingly expensive thing to go anywhere is the worst.
>>283854767Child confirmed.
>>283854767I wish I was packed into over regulated smelly metal boxes with brown people instead of having the freedom to travel wherever i want unimpeded.
>>283854852To be fair, America doesn’t have to have busses full of homeless schizophrenics, YNs, and fent zombies. That was a choice our parents and grandparents made in the era of post-war radical liberal Marxism
>>283854767Based.
>>283854570anime goofed by adding a lot of filler scenes in the first 10 eps of the chimera arc
>>283854927>he thinks Marxism exists>in AMERICA>at any period in timeHahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my god.
>>283855022>"that wasn't real communism btw"(You)
>>283853123>hxhfags are streamersohnono
>>283855022I don’t really care what you want to call it. Whatever side identified with the “civil rights” era is entirely responsible for the bottom percentile wrecking all of your urban institutions and infrastructure. Keep bitching about driving your car. Not going to change the fact that you got ethnically cleansed from using the public transit system your great granddaddy built for his family. Americans will be stuck in their suburban refugee camps until they recognize the root of the issue.
I think all arcs of hunter x hunter are good.
>>283855179Shocking opinion The pacing is horrible in 2011 though. Maybe it’s just because I don’t watch anime much anymore but Hevanes arena in the anime feels much longer, same for the chimera ant arc.
>>283855179I think the arcs that have gon and killua are good and the arcs without gon and killula are bad.
>>283854518>wikipedo propaganda
>>283855235Exact opposite for me. Gon and Killua held the series back. Togashi is much better at writing adult characters in professional scenarios.
>>283854852>travel wherever i want unimpededYou've never driven during rush hour or dealt with road closures, have you?>>283854927Most cities in this country barely even have a public transit system to speak of and can't be assed to have so much as bike lanes. And it's not like we can't, fucking Texas of all places has recently invested in extensive cycling infrastructure for its cities. For the most part, if you live in America your only way of getting anywhere is to drive, alternatives do not exist. Most cities were designed for cars, and if you live in a suburb you'd be lucky if so much as a Starbucks was within a 20 minute walk of your house.
>>283854927You know that bringing back the asylums would mean locking up all the anti-car crazies right?
>>283855440>You've never driven during rush hour or dealt with road closures, have you?I chose to live away from the city. A road closure doesn't change the freedom a car provides in comparison to heavily restricted public transportation.
