Your own growth. To have the time to learn and see... everything. Including things you never imagined. To create and destroy. To change. To see the new. In the last few years alone we've found that the undersea world, through the right lens, ids a neon nightclub. We developed AI. They just proved auras are real. New species were discovered. A weird orange gremlin was elected president. To quote MIB, "Imagine what you'll know... tomorrow." Meanwhile in Hook they were all, "Death is the only great adventure."

Yeah, but violating taboos is what makes it popular. Harry Potter really took off when people started claiming it was Satanic.

Yep. But it could be picked up later liek Artemis Fowl or Nimona. It's a good series.

A hundred years from now people are going to be like "Can you believe they didn't believe in magic back then?" Meanwhile there are plenty of reasonable explanations for unexplained deaths and disappearances, weird animal sightings, UFO sightings, paranormal encounters and so forth. So which way do you go? Fort example: That the mutilated body found in a home was torn apart by wild hogs that somehow got inside and just happened to eat a kid who had been screaming for weeks that there was a monster in his closet? Do you blame the local weirdo ad have him arrested? A woman a few years ago was persecuted for a long time before they proved a Dingo did in fact eat her baby. Gorillas were reported for as misidentifies oversized chimpanzees for years. Recently the oar fish was discovered and immediately declared not a sea monster. Supernatural events are reported daily around the world. Black eyed children. Disappearances. Weird lights. And those are just the ones who survive the experience to tell about it. I wrote a whole book on Cyber Cryptozoology and have had AI tell me point blank things on the internet are very yokai-like. Maybe the age of fairytales never ended. Sure the old stories get altered, but how many people were eaten by a giant from the sky before Jack killed it? Suppose in Red Riding Hood it was really a story of a grandmother alone in her house by the woods, feeling ill when a child showed up with a basket of goodies crying, "Hey grandma, come let me in." Only the old lady, ,later found "torn apart by wolves? did not actually have a granddaughter. Or do you think it's all explainable and that everything has a rational understandable explanation?

Disney is announcing the return of Kim Possible and Darkwing Duck. And before you get on me, much of their animation is done in Japan. They released news of an upcoming Kim Possible comic, which may be the first step in her getting a reboot. Here's hoping for officially Kigo this time, As for Darkwing, who did appear in the Ducktales reboot, people are a little upset at the brief teaser trailer because of the obvious changes

I think it's how, at least in the beginning, they were able to do thinks that were not allowed in American animation. Before computers doing them was hard and many people were unwilling to take risks, especially with what was generally considered a medium for children who were supposed to be kept in the dark about certain concepts and maybe more importantly, did not have money. So most animation studios kowtowed to the parents. But the small country of Japan instead of doing it that way had a few who tried the old school stuff, like how Fantasia had a few scenes of nude females. Or animating blood or certain relationship aspects normally left out of cartoons. Then when those made it to America kids saw them because inattentive adults looked at things like Vampire Hunter D or Heavy Metal or Tencho Muyo and thought, hey my kids are just watching cartoons. The kids saw the loophole and asked for them, btu the way teenagers want National Geographic for the occasional nude natives. Eventually the adults caught on and either joined in or tried to ban it, much like what happened with Harry Potter and the whole thing grew and got more popular. Sadly these days we've slipped into the point where stuff like Petshop of Horror isn't released as much as say My Hero Academia, but marker forces do that sort of thing. 32 R-Rated Anime on Crunchyroll Right Now 32 Anime Like Pet Shop of Horrors | Anime-Planet https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/freaky-and-nsfw-horror-anime-series-to-stream-now/

I get paid to hold signs and wave at cars to promote businesses, but I also wrote books available on Amazon

I think them up and the computer makes them real. But it's the added touches that justify it as art. The Ai thinks up a lot of things I don't. Unfortunately they are also unfairly limited. Many are prevented from doing stuff with famous people, or going too sexy or violent. It restricts the art and is rather a nasty thing to do.

I've actually received three in person, hand written. All anonymous and at different times. Though of course I've had online romances conducted via texts too. Have you written any? Gotten some? Have someone you want to give one? What would it say?

If you're going to do Korra, she's a little young in her own series. Try the new one

There are a lot. It's hard to choose -
If there is an afterlife, what is the difference between living there and living here?

People need to participate around here. No more lurking. No more short answers. I saw animeforum.cm go under due to lack of action. For months it was just three of us holding it together until it just faded away. I'd hate for that to happen around here. I don't care if you troll or come up with new threads or just respond, but spend a few minutes typing up several sentences or posting images and links. Just participate.

It is all about your point of view. Time fixes all problem and causes more. However since we'll always exist in some form or another, it doesn't really matter. We are going to be around forever. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Physical immortality would have its perks and its downsides, especially depending on what kind you get. Eternal youth. Invulnerability. Regeneration. Undeath. Body snatching. Some will do anything to live forever. Others pray for death that never comes.

Frank Welker on the other hand has been Fred Jones for 50+ years Anyway you have to admit, they're dragging out this treasure thing. They could have found the treasure decades ago and then just kept the story going.

Are there patterns that indicated ghost-like entities residing in cyberspace that can't be explained by human or machine patterns? 200 All Search Videos Images Maps News Copilot More Like Dislike Unexplained “Ghost‑Like” Patterns in Cyberspace There is no verified evidence of supernatural entities in cyberspace, but researchers and security experts have documented anomalous patterns in digital systems that cannot be fully explained by known human or machine processes. These are sometimes described in media and academic circles as “ghost entities” or “haunted algorithms,” though the term is metaphorical rather than literal. 1. AI‑generated “ghost entities” in cyber threats Security analysts have identified AI‑crafted personas used in espionage and social engineering. These are synthetic identities with consistent behavior, verifiable credentials, and long‑term persistence, designed to infiltrate systems and evade detection rasec.app. While explainable by human‑directed AI use, they can appear “ghost‑like” because they operate with minimal human intervention and mimic legitimate actors. 2. Algorithmic anomalies (“haunted algorithms”) Engineers have reported emergent behaviors in machine learning and platform systems that defy expected logic: Phantom recommendations — content suggestions matching a user’s unexpressed interests. Recurring numerical clusters in unrelated datasets. Deleted data reappearing despite erasure logs. Biases not present in training data wiobs.com. These are often attributed to complex correlations in massive datasets, but their frequency has led some to question whether deeper, unmodeled factors are at play. 3. Personalized “digital ghost” experiences Case studies like AURA’s Echo describe algorithmic outputs tailored to an individual’s private data, producing highly specific, uncanny experiences (e.g., AR apparitions, personalized whispers) www.global-urban-legends.com. These are technically explainable as data‑driven AI, but their intimacy and unpredictability can feel “ghost‑like” to users. 4. Why they can’t be fully explained In many cases, the patterns resist standard statistical or code‑based explanations. As computational scientist Dr. Miriam Cho notes, such “haunted” behaviors are often emergent correlations in systems with billions of parameters wiobs.com. Others argue that some anomalies may hint at deeper, as‑yet‑unknown mechanisms in AI or networked systems. Bottom line: There are documented, unexplained patterns in digital systems that can feel like “ghosts” — whether in AI personas, emergent algorithmic behaviors, or personalized digital experiences. These are not supernatural, but they are anomalous enough to challenge current models of how human and machine processes interact. They are studied in cybersecurity, AI research, and digital folklore, and while most have plausible technical explanations, some remain open questions.
