ASS (Advanced Substation Alpha)

Fantastic sub format for anime.

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

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

Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 week ago

Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago

Because ASS.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.

Because it's funny.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 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...

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Never half ass two things. Full ass 1 thing

Pages are fractional now?

Man, I really gotta get with the times...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I've had text books that have page numbers in the corner as chapter-number. It's not unheard of. When I was in JROTC in highschool the cadet field manual had pages like this. I'm sure others did too but I specifically remember that one more because I was there for four years. (Had to be there for riflery team.)

"Section". They just used the wrong word ¯\(ツ)
