Umm... Trump is also anti-gay tho, and the VP is a huge religious zealot, anti-gay too. Btw Tump holding that rainbow flag, when he also said he was gonna take gay marrige down, that confused ppl into thinking he supported lgbt.

When gay marriage was finally a thing in the USA he was against it.

Trump gets to appoint a Supreme Court justice. Potentially up to 2-4 in total during his term if we're unlucky. The one he's guaranteed is being appointed with an explicit goal in mind: Overturning federal recognition of gay marriage to leave it to individual states. There's a solid 10-12 states or so that are going to immediately turn around and refuse to offer or even recognize gay marriage in any form.

On top of that Mike Pence is strongly in support for gay conversion camps. He's even tried to get federal funding for them and wants them to be mandatory for any LGBT person to attend.

Um...Hillary isn't anti-gay. Maybe if you take same-sex marriage as the only LGBT issue, which isn't true by a long shot.

But hey, there's a LOT of propaganda out there about her that people accept uncritically, especially given the right's been attacking her for more than a decade.

She used to be anti-gay. Back when being pro-gay was a good way to harm your political career. And while her personal feelings might not have changed from that in the mean time (though who knows, maybe they have as well), as soon as people started leaning pro-LGBT she did as well which her opposition tries to claim is flip-flopping but actually isn't. It's merely a matter of her actually representing the views of her constituents. Flip-flopping would dictate that she flipped from anti-LGBT to pro-LGBT then reverted that decision.

Well here are my two cents on Trump's victory:

Hillary clinton was such an obviously corrupt cunt that EVERYONE decided to vote trump over her. Also I blame EXTREME political correctness and WHINY INSUFFERABLE swj cunts and assholes as well.

Oh well america has survived worse and at least he will give Enrique Pena Nieto EXACTLY what he deserves. Trust me, he's an EVEN BIGGER asshole than Trump.

The big issue with Trump's presidency is less him or his vice president than it is the fact he'll be getting to appoint a Supreme Court justice who will be specifically chosen to overturn gay marriage. And then to top that off he's projected to potentially get anywhere from 2-4 other justices appointed during his term. That's the biggest issue here because a heavily conservative Supreme Court is going to affect us for decades to come since it's an appointment for life or until they choose to retire. We barely got gay marriage through to begin with when Scalia was still around and compared to the conservative candidates for the position he was actually quite moderate.

Man this is just disappointing. I don't look forward to the next four years at all.

Also good luck Galich.

Unfortunately even if this does happen it would simply result in him getting replaced with Pence who's not a whole lot better. Pence's only advantage over Trump is that at least he has some idea what he's doing in a political position. His actual views and policies are just as shitty as Trump's in most cases and worse in some. Ie: His desire to not only use government funding for gay conversion camps but the fact he wants to make them MANDATORY for gays and bisexuals which is fucking disgusting. (Disgusting it putting it mildly though. I really don't have a word in my vocabulary adequate enough to describe that view.)

I think this post from another forum I frequent fairly accurately sums up a lot of my feelings about this:

I still don't get it. It's finally starting to sink in - he had 1 newspaper endorsement, zero political experience, he was denounced by almost every politician in America and around the world, he had scandal after scandal of racism, sexism, rape, fraud, was condemned by every mainstream media outlet, and was polling at 30% two weeks ago. He lost every debate with flying colors, called people names, mocked the disabled. He was the most disliked candidate in American history. He was a meme from how many people disliked him. Everyone called the election last month - there's still newspapers and magazines displayed in my college library that I'm going to photograph ASAP, because it's literally this.

Nothing changed since then. There were no revelations, or major leaks or damning scandals. But somehow he won the presidency against the former first lady and secretary of state, a household name for 30 years, having every connection in DC and abroad, who prepared zingers and factchecks for every debate and has been drumming up this campaign for well over a decade. It seemed like even people who don't give a shit about politics 'supported' her, or at least didn't support Trump.
I'm not angry or in shock, but just genuinely confused at how all these pieces came together. Was it the Brexit effect, people thought it was such an easy win they didn't bother showing up?

I am angry and in shock unlike this guy but at the same time I really am legitimately confused at how the American people could let this happen. Last I checked the current votes there was still a chance for Clinton to win but even then it'd have taken a miracle to do so. Despite all the polls suggesting Trump really stood no chance it's basically guaranteed we're getting a socially regressive ADD-addled moron with no political experience and completely atrocious policies in office.

Rina posted:

^ Tbh if he wins I'd actually want to see what kind of disaster his presidency will bring; maybe then everyone will realize how much they screwed up.

The only thing that I care about right now is how this idiot's presidency will affect the EU and by extension the life of my gf in Finland...I seriously hope nothing bad happens...

Unfortunately those who need to see the disaster he will be are also those least likely to actually understand the ramifications of it, let alone taking responsibility for letting it happen. And even worse, since a lot of the worst issues from his presidency aren't going to be visible until his successor is in office it's going to have a similar result to Obama getting the presidency after Bush. It'll result in problems for Trump's successor that will get blamed on the successor by those who voted Trump into office in the first place who are too short-sighted to realize the issues stemmed from Trump in the first place.

I'm just worried what this means for climate change, LGBT rights, women's rights, etc. Trump used to be pro-abortion after all before flipping for this race. And the Trump campaign said they support LGBT (but also support religious liberties so this will sure be interesting). So I have no idea what he is going to do besides dig more coal, drill for more oil, do more fracking, get more gas, and pull out of the Paris Agreement.

It's not even just that stuff. His economics plan has been universally panned by just about every single noteworthy economist. A week or two ago a group of 300 of the foremost economists in the world, including 8 who had been awarded the Nobel prize in economics, got together and wrote a letter explaining just how bad his economic policy would be for the US. If he gets elected and Congress doesn't stop him from enacting his economic plans then the US is going to face a recession that rivals the Great Depression, if not surpasses it.

Then he wants to do extremely stupid shit on top of that such as logging Muslims into a database as potential terrorists, revoke rights of people on different watchlists and the no fly list despite these lists not being democratic or even vetted in any way. Then there's the whole wall thing which is just beyond retarded.

There is pretty much no positives that could potentially come from his presidency. At the best the US is going to stagnate and likely regress socially. At worst it's going to be a complete disaster and the US is going to be toppled from its position as one of the foremost powers in the world. And we'd deserve it for letting this moron into office. But those who will pay the most for it happening are people who opposed him to begin with and a lot of those who supported him are too lacking in awareness to realize that this was an easily foreseeable outcome.

I can't comprehend how Trump could possibly be doing this well. I guess I just had too much faith in my fellow Americans to be able to avoid falling for blatant vapid rhetoric and generally being just decent human beings.

Rina posted:

This is despairingly close to follow...but let's keep holding onto hopes of a miracle happening.

It's infuriating how close this is. There is no world where Trump is honestly a better choice than Clinton. Like even if every single bad thing people say about her was true she'd still be a better choice than that petulant manchild. Even if she does manage to pull off a win (it's going to be very close regardless though, she's basically guaranteed the west coast+Hawaii but several close states are already looking to be Trump's despite being projected to lean slightly Clinton) I'm going to be incredibly disappointed in the people I share a country with.

It is a pity that none of the amazing authors who participate in this jam are going to receive any recognition from it... Ebi-hime's works in particular are glorious, yet it seems like there are few who care at all about them. I think her stuff on Steam sold pretty well for EVNs, so that's something, at least.

Ebi-hime should be more well known in general. Everything I've played of hers so far was interesting. I just recently bought a Steam bundle of some of her games specifically because what I'd already played was good. (This World Unknown, Empty Horizons, Strawberry Vinegar, Asphyxia, and The Way We All Go if anyone's curious.)

I agree and even if not entire thread when there is a lot posts, at least checking some of the most recent ones. Still it is a fact there is a lot people who don't even do that much. So it isn't as common sense as it seems.

Personally I make sure to at least read the most recent page before making a post, depending on how active said thread is.

And it's not that it's not common. It's more a matter of most people not putting much thought into their actions before taking them. If they did that then it'd be a pretty obvious conclusion to come to for most people.

sorry, I didnt notice

People have been occasionally addressing posts to you here for like a month or so.

Nevri posted:

To be fair majority of people don't bother to read any previous comments.

That's not really being fair though. It's common sense to actually read threads you're posting in.

Well that answered that question. You couldn't even see the person quoting you literally right above your post.

I really don't remember a thing that happened in this manga after so long, lol. I vaguely remember the main character coming back to her home town after several years or something but that's it. Guess I'll have to get around to rereading this one sometime relative soon so I can figure out what's happening again.

Depends what you consider tiny. And I'm not talking about reducing them too much, but to try and find a balance between resolution and file size in order to keep a decent image size while having a lighter file that'll load faster.

If you systematically need to size down picture through the css, then it's usually better to simply resize the files themselves.

That'd still require one of two things. That scanlators release both their standard version in addition to a resized version or Dynasty's servers resize the image which would increase server resource usage. The first is a pretty unreasonable demand to make of scanlators and the second runs into the same issue I pointed out earlier with server resource usage.

Do you actually even bother reading this thread or do you just post without even reading a thing? Cause you've had a bunch of people including staff members post in reply to your fixed page posts but you haven't so much as even acknowledged them, let alone actually addressed them.

Making sure files are at a decent resolution to cut down file size would improve the reader in many ways along with saving disk space, unless you do have plan to actually use those massive resolutions.

Not everyone has a tiny monitor. While 3000px height seems overkill you can look back at older series for a good example of why having higher resolutions available even if they seem overkill is a better option. There's quite a few older series here that are so microscopic on my monitor (which is only 1440px tall) that I have to zoom in on the site (or make use of my Thingifier's magnifier) in order to actually make out what they say.

The only real option would be to have the site use two different versions of each image but most server hosts give a limited amount of disk space which, for a site such as Dynasty, is actually a fairly big concern.

Guess all that's left is to start posting scat now, hope y'all are into that.

It's not like people are going to be forced to read it or anything though. While scat is one of the few fetishes that I simply can't stand I don't personally see a huge issue with it since I can kinda choose not to read it.

Well that certainly happened, lol.

The fuck? What's up with all these guro recently? I though it was a rule to avoid this because people didn't like it, so why? Is there seriously someone requesting these? I know it's yuri, but it's still ... You know.. Like.. Ew.

Whoever it is should keep it up, if only for the reactions of people who apparently can't refrain from reading tags they're unlikely to enjoy.

Nezchan posted:

You don't like the character, I get that. The insistence on calling a trans character by male pronouns is baffling, and really isn't a good look on you. The "Ms. Man" nonsense earlier makes you look pretty bad too.

Also doesn't really help matters when there's no explanation given for why they dislike her. Leaves the only possible focus on their post being the clear misgendering.

It's an 8 chapter per day limit.

Personally I only download from here when there's no link to the scanlator's release and if I do happen to hit the limit, which happens pretty rarely, then I just add it to a "to download" list I made and get back to it later. Dealing with it page by page would be, as you said, a pain in the ass. I could also probably work up a userscript to help automate it but that'd be a pretty shitty thing to do so I'm not going to.

Nezchan posted:

I don't know the "under the hood" stuff, but I think it's possible, yeah. Can't guarantee it though.

There's nothing stopping you from downloading each page individually when you've hit your download limit. I was curious so I tried it once when I'd hit my download limit for the day. Of course it's probably a good idea to not go overboard with it anyways since that download limit is there for a reason though.

I think the site keeps track of when your downloads were rather than just resetting your allotted downloads at a certain time each day. So if you downloaded several right before bed or something then trying to download something else shortly after getting up wouldn't work. It's fairly easy to handle though if you just make an additional list specifically for stuff you still need to download.

She also didn't look three paces wide, and as to deep, well...it's simply not that sort of manga.

I'm kinda curious how you could use paces to measure that sort of depth now, lol.
