TIL: The government can actually use eminent domain a copyright. There is precedent: the song "This Land is Your Land."
TN could take control of the copyright and publish it if they had any balls. They would just need to provide the holder with just compensation. What's a insane manifesto by a child murder worth?
The assertion was she's not entitled to comment on her grandmother being beaten specifically because she's a legislator in a different country.
If you want to talk about Israel's contributions to creating that problem in Europe in the first place, have at it. That's not what either of us were talking about.
Does the horse color in a horse race matters?
Unironically, there is a link. Because wouldn't you know it... the genes that impact color expression in the coat aren't limited to just that but also performance and even behavior. They're not like humans where everyone is totally equal despite obvious genetic differences /s
Regardless of her opinion, foreign legislators need to STFU about what happens in other countries.
Normally, I'd agree but it's her grandmother. If one of my family members got attacked in an ostensibly Western country by some piece of garbage who was there because of a government refuses to deal with them, I'd be enraged too.
Her location and occupation don't really have bearing on this being a reasonable thing to be mad about. The other 99.999999% of the time foreign legislators run their mouths, I agree.
What in the fuck am I reading.
He's badly referencing a quote from the first MIB movie.
Edwards : Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay : A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
As badly worded and autistic as that point comes across, he's not wrong. Take a bunch of seemingly based individuals, put them in a group, and massive cringe will emerge quickly. It's called "podcasting."
I don't think it's just about the Overton window, but the willingness to make a fuss. We give the French bants for what their culture contains, but they've always been more willing to defend their culture than most of Western Europe..
The Brit will keep a stiff upper lip while you take everything from him.
The Frenchman will start a revolt in the streets if you oversweeten his macarons.
Like when the Académie Française told them to fuck off with their "gender neutral" language bastardizations.
It's fine but they're not quite real piracy.
Ignoring the 1,100 episode behemoth in the room:
Captain Harlock - Your quintessential, classic, trope-defining space pirate.
Outlaw Star - Space outlaws, not pirates but the antagonists are all pirates. Close enough.
Mars Daybreak - Actual water pirates. But it's submarines. On Mars. With mechs.
Honorable mention: Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet. Not really pirates, but anime waterworld so there's a pirate-adjacent style.
Technicality: Black Lagoon. In the modern "criminals with a boat and guns who will rob and/or kill you" sense of the term.
Edit: Not anime, and I don't even remember how it ended or if it was actually good, but I'd be remiss for not bringing up Pirates of Dark Water.
In slight defense of Vanguard, they actually backed off on that shit.
“We cannot state that ESG investing is better performance-wise than broad index-based investing,” Buckley said. “Our research indicates that ESG investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing.”
Buckley’s statements followed Vanguard’s withdrawal from the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative—a group of 301 asset managers that says it is “committed to supporting the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner, focused on lowering carbon emissions in their portfolios.”
From another article:
Daniel Wiener, chairman of Adviser Investments in Newton, Massachusetts and a longtime Vanguard observer, said the firm's withdrawal showed it lacked a strong leader on ESG issues that BlackRock has in its CEO Laurence Fink.
"Backing out of this thing is simply Vanguard blowing with the winds of constant change. They don’t have a strong personality like Fink to champion a cause," Wiener said
Vanguard is actually owned by it's member's funds, which makes it somewhat more answerable to normal people as opposed to using your retirement funds to lose money on Fink's pet projects.
For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
Potentially worse, this would have been before the Meiji reforms so there were multiple written versions of the same kana.
But to be fair, "speaking fluent Japanese" doesn't require reading or writing.
Every post in that sub falls into two categories:
- Fake
- "Adults" who somehow never developed basic communication skills and have a falling out that is 99.9% the fight that that had been lurking below the surface for months/years and 0.1% the instigating incident.
But as a general rule, while the other person may also be an asshole, the poster is always an asshole. Anyone who responds to personal conflict by running to Reddit for affirmation has a critically flawed personality.
She continued, “You may need to pause to stop your kid from putting a fork into a socket, a power outlet.”
If you're reaching for the pause button instead of already having dropped the controller and started moving towards them, you're a failure as a parent. It's a game. Take care of the priority, lose the fight or whatever, try again later. You signed up for those responsibilities when you had kids. If that sounds too cumbersome, don't have children.
“And there are temporary disabilities. You break your wrist, you sprain your wrist, you temporarily have trouble playing video games. You would need something to help you to press certain buttons to play Elden Ring.”
Go play other shit for a couple of months. Elden Ring will still be there when your wrist is healed. Or use one of the split controller solutions and you can even play with both your arms in slings.
The third one: long-term. People who have long-term disabilities
This is the only thing mentioned so far that is an actual disability. There are some reasonable accommodations that can be made, but it's at the dev's discretion and if they think the product would suffer, they have no obligation to cater to you personally. Lest we get rid of video games altogether because "muh blind people can't play them."
Blackstone plans to expand Infocom’s original content, focusing on genres popular with its primarily female readership, a demographic with growing disposable income.
Zero. It makes zero difference. At least they're marginally smarter than Disney though. Going for IP that are already popular with females instead of buying ones that aren't and trying to force it.
Someone on reddit: "at least you'd have the same hobbies, lol"
This researcher: "tRaNsAmOrOuS mIsOgYny."
analyzed over 200 online Reddit discussion posts during a three-month period
Reading 2-3 posts a day? Damn. We found him: the least terminally-online SJW.
You're operating under the assumption that the left thinks there's anything wrong with the optics of Antifa.
Once and a while someone does blame "right wing instigators." But note that they don't mean the whole group is feds. They mean they think a secret fascist in their midst threw one brick and the rest of the mob were poor innocent victims who couldn't help but follow along.
