I was quite confused why the government would create an entire site telling people to stop consuming manga. I mean, I personally don't care for manga/anime stuff, but really?
Turns out it's just a website for Quitman, GA. https://quitmanga.gov https://quitmanga.gov
- Slump 2y agoThis brought out an audible chuckle from me. Definitely stealing this and sharing this site with a few co-workers who are heavily into manga/anime. Thanks for the laugh.

- rcpt 2y agoYou really can't use sarcasm around that topic. There seems to be no limit to what their supporters will fall for.

- cheema33 2y ago> You really can't use sarcasm around that topic. I have often wondered why that is. Why is the sarcasm bit turned off for most conservatives? Similarly their humor bit is quite off as well. There aren't many successful conservative comedians either.
- xp84 2y agoI’ve seen it’s no different on either side with how willing they are to believe something horrendous about the other side (which interferes with interpreting a statement as sarcasm). For instance, you believe “most conservatives” don’t understand sarcasm, which is silly. Most people do, they just really want to believe the other “team” is evil, stupid, and/or subhuman. Edit: added the words after “evil.”

- rcpt 2y agoHopefully there's a Dem leader in Georgia who will jump in on the map changing game for this domain

- adolph 2y agoThe Pen Island Effect [0] is so strong I read the comment to mean that the writer was happy it was not the whole of government but a only particular town in Georgia was against Japanese comic books. Some days I wonder if DNS was a colossal mistake. I have plenty of room for remembering numbers now that phones are dead.

- LorenDB 2y ago> The Pen Island Effect [0] is so strong I read the comment to mean that the writer was happy it was not the whole of government but a only particular town in Georgia was against Japanese comic books. LOL, no. Like I said, I personally don't care for manga/anime but I have nothing against others enjoying it.
- adolph 2y agoMy apologies, I didn't mean to claim you supported the town of Quitman's online jeremiad, but an appreciation that the effort was limited to one municipality.
- calvinmorrison 2y agoMy favorite is handynasty.net which is a great schezuan place here in philadelphia and totally not Handy Nasty.net

- switch007 2y agoIf only DNS could be namespaced..., eg quitman.ga.gov Only a marginal improvement though
- dpedu 2y agoIsn't delegating a zone pretty much the same concept in DNS? Or am I missing sarcasm here?
- switch007 2y agoYeah was sarcasm as it seems to be a really obvious thing to do. We do it in the UK with <councilname>.gov.uk (Not sure if it's actual delegation or just A records though)
- nativeit 2y agoWe also do it in the US, although I feel like it was more common 20-years ago than it is now. For example, here in North Carolina, local school systems are typically “https://[county https://[county name]schools.k12.nc.us”
- xp84 2y agoYeah, our state did that kind of thing 20 years ago, but people get confused with more than x.y, because nobody ever taught anyone the concept that domains are a hierarchy and that periods have a specific role that’s different to slashes, hyphens, etc. So to 90% of people they couldn’t explain how “order.TacoBell.com” is different than “TacoBell.order.com” and as such wouldn’t ever remember what order “k12” “nc” and “us” might go in.
- 6LLvveMx2koXfwn 2y agoIndeed, because the hierarchical nature of addressing conventions is a new thing.
- mrkramer 2y agoI first thought it was quitmaga.gov As an insider revolt against Musk's shenanigans. lol
- SilasX 2y agoReminder: in 2007, the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture issued a statement that they're "not in charge of Gundam" (because of a "scandal" where their employees were editing the Japanese Wikipedia page for it while at work). https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna21151261 https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna21151261
