I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
I don't have access to WiiU dumping tools but here's the texture with the sign from the Gamecube version. Dolphin makes dumping those very easy.

It's unfortunately very small.

The broken window priniciple is something enitrely different. It's about how a district really comes crashing down once it starts to fall:

Imagine there is an old abandoned factory building. If it just stands around it might not look bad. But eventually some jerk breaks one of the windows. Since it wont get fixed, other people will eventually break others and the building will look procedingly more lovely, which attracts the sort of person who would break windows.

How much would a Miiverse Penis Inspector get paid?

A couple of hundred dongs per hour would be my guess.

I feel like somebody, probably 4chan, would've stress-tested them to oblivion by now if it wasn't automated. Then again, I don't really know much if anything about miiverse since I don't own a WiiU/haven't used it on 3DS if it's even possible. Do they ban NNIDs from miiverse just for posting flagged images? Or have some sort of limit on daily use?

I just remember reading about how/why they got rid of whatever chat feature the 3DS used to have because of penises so penis-detection software really does seem like something they'd have done.

You're talking about SwapNote, which allowed you to attach actual photos, which were then at least temporarily stored on Nintendo servers. Take a guess what happened with that.

I just looked on a currency converter and 200 Vietnamese Dong converts to .9 US cents. I would have thought dongs would be worth more.

If you're referring to the broken windows theory of policing, that's roughly true.

What Kuvo was talking about is the parable of the broken window (also called the glazier's fallacy) -- the idea is that while it might appear that breaking windows is good for the economy, this isn't actually true, as opportunity costs mean that while a glazier might be in employment, they aren't doing other things, which might be of a net benefit to society (and therefore the economy).

Vicas (and yourself) are discussing the broken windows theory of policing, pursued by NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton while he was serving under Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the 1990s (although Bratton is Commissioner again under de Blasio) and continued by Ray Kelly under Michael Bloomberg. The idea was published in The Atlantic Monthly sometime in 1982 (I believe), with the example you gave. The theory holds that by cracking down on low-level 'quality-of-life' offences (e.g. fare-dodging, marijuana possession), one can prevent higher levels of crime. Under Kelly, broken windows theory was among the reasons for the rise in the (unconstitutional) practicing of stop-and-frisk, which disproportionately affected young men of colour. Whether or not these practices were effective or not is debatable, but I'm sure Geop would not want this D&D discussion here!

Sorry about this!

I especially loved the part where I was talking to Panzer about an inside joke ("children are basically adults, but just very far away") RIGHT when that kid was in frame. I couldn't stop laughing when I was editing; the timing was perfect.

Then, about 15-20 seconds later, I hear everyone see the kid in-frame and stop themselves from saying anything :allears: What a team!
