mk - for those of us who want to be annoying and imbed animated .gifs, can you throw us a bone?

That ruins our baker's dozen of toggles, but ok. As long as the default is off.

Someday I am going to make a toggle that toggles the toggles.

Actually, maybe there is a more sensible approach. Stay tuned.

I will happily accept a preference that says "enable animated .gifs for me because I am mentally twelve years old."

An alternative to a bunch of booleans is html's select multiple tag. Then you could just have one form that you select "png", "jpg", "gif", etc to display inline:

    <select multiple="multiple" name="display_inline">

    <option value="png">png</option>

    <option value="jpg">jpg</option>

    <option value="gif">gif</option>

    </select>

The raw POST of what gets sent to the server then will be:

    display_inline: png

    display_inline: jpg

    display_inline: gif

An example in practice:

Sorry if this net nerd talk is tangential from the anime talk >_>

I have seen exactly one episode from that series, at a friend's suggestion. I felt sick to my stomach after the witch decapitated Mami. It's rare that a show can mess with my brain that deeply :(

The creator didn't get the nickname Urobutcher without reason. If have seen his previous works, you know what you are in for.

Fun fact: This gave rise to the Japanese meme/slang マミる (Mamiru), which means to be decapitated like Mami

Aldnoah.Zero hype

It is, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of anime. I went from bored to intrigued to impressed to amazed. I might just declare that we're gonna talk about Madoka Magika in 3 weeks and damn the torpedoes.

Showing you Madoka is literally my greatest achievement, screw graduating highschool.

have you watched/been able to find online the rebellion story? that's all i have left to watch and i'm prepared for further emotional devastation

thundara  ·  3827 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah, I don't have much to compare it to. My anime knowledge is limited to Cowboy Bebop and .hack//SIGN, both of which I loved. Sadly my short attention span makes it challenging to get through any TV show. The first of those took me six months to watch, the latter took me four years.

The workaround I've been using involves tricking the site into thinking that it is a jpg/png and then letting the browser fix the error.

Doesn't work with all imagehosts, but whatever.

kleinbl00  ·  3827 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Huh. I have no idea how to do that. But yes. Thanks.

user-inactivated  ·  3827 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Just change the extension.

0si4MQS.png instead of 0si4MQS.gif

Been using that trick on my profile for ages

Can someone ping kleinbl00 for me to add me to the list since I'm still muted by him and can't reply to the main thread

user-inactivated  ·  3825 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Oh okay. Iy thought it was standard practice to manage these things with a ping list

What's the source of that .gif?

I feel like this is from some Christian documentary (maybe 700 club?) the exact phrasing comes up in relation to BADD:

" Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons (BADD). She [Patricia Pulling], describes D&D as "a fantasy roleplaying game which uses demonology, witchcraft, voodoo, murder, rape, blasphemy, suicide, assassination, insanity, sex perversion, homosexuality, prostitution, satanic-type rituals, gambling, barbarism, cannibalism, sadism, desecration, demon summoning, necromantics, divination and other teachings."

It could be part of the 60 Minutes documentary here:

unfortunately it's been taken down.

If anyone finds it let me know, Satan fear of the late 80s/early 90s is really hilarious.

No idea

kleinbl00  ·  3825 days ago  ·  link  ·
