I always chuckle when Jellyfin shows subtitles as "Full ASS".

Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing

The default libass shaping engine,

I’m so old and tired, this isn’t even funny anymore. I’ll have to explain to some junior engineer about ASS. Then management will learn about this term “ass”, and use it incorrectly at every possible opportunity. Then when no one can explain ASS, I end up being “the ass guy.”

HEY EVERYONE IT'S THE ASS GUY

ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though

Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In a "show your workings" questions it makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

There’s no difference between SSA and ASS in that context so it’s pointless to punish a student for that

Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock...

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

Fantastic sub format for anime.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I'd have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don't find the anime enjoyable.

Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn't tolerate it enough to feel the fun.

I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Because it sounds like English words which is "cool"

Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don't know.

Why ask?
