    "Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad."

    How? I didn't even say it was bad just not as good as people say it is. It's ok but it can only be random for so long. Once you've seen one episode you've seen them all. Monty Python is no different to those old asdfmovie videos.

    Sir, these are not Big Bang theory episodes.

      The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

      This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won't hire other races.

        The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

        I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.

        (In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

            Most ice cream isn't ice cream anymore. It is frozen dairy product or sometimes not even dairy, sometimes it's just frozen dessert product.

              The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

              My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

              Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups.
              Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

                . No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they've learned and die on that hill.

                . Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that's the most obvious one. [edit] What people are observing, at least for the "stellar sized black holes", are UV/X-ray/Gamma ray stars, much like there are red stars and blue stars. [/edit]

                . For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies "Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that "this means war" and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they're so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
                The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they're so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe."
                And no, STD and Picard doesn't do it any justice. Star Trek doesn't tell why the Federation is or isn't progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.

                          People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).

                          There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.

                          Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

                            My guess is I’d do better if every clock I owned was on 24-hour time. That’s how I did the Celsius switch, every device (except my car, which I haven’t been able to figure out how to change) I set to Celsius.

                            I live in a household that is divided between Celsius (me) and Fahrenheit (wife). I wish I could switch every device, but I have to pick my battles. So I expose myself as much as possible and recite the following

                            30 is hot
                            20 is nice
                            10 is cool
                            0 is ice

                                Fortunately my wife is both gracious and adventurous in this regard, and is cool with having most of our stuff on Celsius. I switched before we were married, and she’s slowly learning by virtue of everything being on Celsius except her phone.

                                Edit: Also, this may be helpful, I came up with a heuristic early on to approximate Fahrenheit values to help me learn.

                                I memorized every 10 (and eventually every 5) and then approached from the nearest memorized point using 2°F per 1°C instead of 1.8.

                                For example, if something said 22°C, I’d start at 20°C=68°F and work my way up, adding 4, to get to 72°F. Since the actual value is 71.6°F, that’s close enough.

                                If you forget a 10 or a 5 it’s easy to recalculate them if you know another, because it’s 9°F per 5°C. So if 20 is 68, and 30 is 86, then 25 is 77.

                                (Obviously you could also do the full conversion but that takes me more time.)

                                    How is that true in a way different from other industries? I do think there's no necessity for the race of the VA to correspond with the race of the character. That might be because I don't have a good grasp on the arguments otherwise though.

                                    The argument I've heard in favor of VAs matching their characters is to avoid laundering white perspectives to minority characters, which would make sense if the VA didn't have their livelihood on the line when asked to read from a script written by a cishet white man. I feel like requiring a minority do that makes no difference other than providing a cover of legitimacy for the words said.

                                    But as a cishet white male myself, maybe I'm mischaracterizing the argument, I'd be curious. I have asked my (racial minority) wife at one point a couple years back and she wasn't sure.

                                    It's a given that there are insensitivities in hirings, but I struggle to imagine a way in which that would be unique to voice acting specifically.

                                        -pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.

                                        -new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.

                                        • the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it's more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There's also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that's centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.

                                        You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping.

                                        That's a hill you will die on from old age. I have never once heard someone say pineapple is not a valid topping in a way I thought was meant to be taken literally and not as a hyperbolic way of saying "I don't like it".
