WTF is going on with all this trolling crap?!

Personally, I've become rather fond of the anarchy here.

Likewise, I may come off as a pretentious snob, but at heart I'm still just a humble megalomaniac.

I guess we should start our own company?

In the spirit of trolling, we could have an ad agency that uses honest promotions:

Microsoft - We may not be the best but we are questionably good enough.

Apple - Our king is dead but we still have a cool logo.

Google - Okay, we do evil, but at least we finally admitted it.

You're a respectable chap in trying to meet my ambiguous challenge there.. Yet I'm sorry as that Wikipedia list was not intended as a joke - not meant to be connected with that other comment.. My bad..

Yup, computer translators make mistakes. I'm sure much of my work involves fixing those. I guess they often use computer translators first, then a human translator/editor checks it, and then I check it, then the translator/editor approves it. We may go back and forth a few times as need be. Also, there are constraints with how much room we have for some text. So, if the translated text takes up more room than the original, we then may have to rethink things involving page design and complete rewrites. Also, some work involves many languages and other teams, where everything has to match well.

I like doing it as I'm good at it. I come up with ideas that simplify things and such. I'm surprised that many large companies are so sloppy with their so-called final copy (published web content).

To speed this process up, eye movement detectors are a thing, where the human editor can simply blink at areas of text, and software will try to fix or mark it and such. Also with voice input. There's more to it, some rather trippy tech. Much of it is proprietary still.

IMO:

I think most all the superhero movies are way overrated.

I liked the first 3 X-Men movies and Iron Man 1 & 2.

I liked much of the new Superman, but not a big Batman fan.

I liked Gotham (TV) through season 2, then i gave up in season 3, yawn.

I know The Dark Knight (2008) is top rated, but i didn't like it, yawn.

I thought Deadpool sucked, yawn.

I liked Watchmen (2009) - wish there was more of that.

The first Spider-Man (2002) was okay, but the rest, yawn..

I liked some of the Avengers, parts here and there, but overall I thought it was rather lame. It teased me with some great stuff, but then poof, yawn.. That's it?

Thor, Captain America, Ant-Man, blah.

Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 where not too bad. The FX and music helped a lot, otherwise, whatever.

FYI, I'm not into the comics and i don't read fanboy sites, so i just watch these as movies, and compare their entertainment value with all other movies. For example, I think The Matrix was better than any of these superhero movies.

Also, my Gen Z nephew hates all superhero movies. He wouldn't even give them a chance. Same with anything Star Wars or Star Trek. Yet he likes old fighting/action, war movies, anime, B movies, and some horror. Go figure.

So I'm seeing Poland a lot in our news. I guess the EU is not too happy about all that coal burning and the Nationalist agenda.

My thoughts on that are, I don't think people are willing to suffer too much with much change. I guess the idea of the EU and such is to spread the burdens and implement solutions, but It's never a given that such will work, let alone being accepted by enough people.

Overall, I guess the Nationalists see the non EU immigrants as the main threat.. Personally, I don't blame them, but extreme tactics can lead to great war and suffering for all.

I don't know how it will play out, but I think if the EU doesn't get tougher with these immigration issues then Nationalism will become even more popular.

That said, if things keep going as they are, I expect serious talk of removing Poland from the EU will become a thing. As such, down the road we might see an alternative union of Nationalist European countries teaming up and snubbing the EU completely.

Also, the EU is weak in being able to enforce anything other than feel good diplomacy, full of liberal ideology that may never be accepted enough.

Personally, I'm a big fan of helping everyone out, but many liberals ignore the limits to that.

As for in the USA, both the left and right have very little limits, as they spend and borrow again and again.

Yup, religion and politics. Don't talk about that and expect much agreement, as many are willing to kill for their side, ha.

Yet being that I'm not into sports, there's not much else to talk about in that respect, ha.

Anyone have an idea of when The Tick episodes 7-12 will be posted here?

Interested to know what is the difference between these files (apart from 7GB!) Thanks

Mosaic S01E01 1080p WEB HEVC x265-RMTeam (460MB
Mosaic S01E01 1080p WEBRip HEVC x265-RMTeam (467MB)

Actually, it's named proper as this is my area!

Now stop causing trouble or I will have you banned!

OK Let's ask in another way.
What is the difference between an RMTeam release labelled WEB and one labelled WEB-DL.
I'm only asking as they both exist.

* meant WEBRip not WEB-DL
Confusing myself now !

@ThunderKiss65

Yup, I think MAMPYMAN is likely a troll, as that 7GB! looks like grammar police bait to me. Hmm.

Also Elizabeth's comment looks rather suspicious with the use of Do instead of Due. Hmm.

So thanks for that reminder about Z Nation. I never gave that series a try yet. I'm binge watching it now. I'm into it so far.

@ThunderKiss65

Regardless, I agree with your info to MAMPYMAN. Furthermore, I would look under the FILE INFORMATION and compare the Source. I tend to go with the encodes from the larger sources.

MAMPYMAN

Thanks guys and for the info @ThunderKiss65

To be clear I was not trolling - having googled various sites for how 'releases' are labelled it seemed a bit unclear between WEB, WEBRip and WEB-DL.
As RMteam had two releases of the same episode from 'Mosaic', differing in size by just 7GB, I was interested to know which was 'best' even though this is largely subjective.

Again thanks to @ThunderKiss65 for helping me to choose.

Oh lawd - doing it again meant 7MB not 7GB

Wow, The Asylum?! Ha, bravo. Yup, they suck, ha. I've actually thought about submitting a movie script to them.

Yup, Z Nation I like.
