Also the IP aggression isn’t entirely their fault, Japanese Copyright law requires companies to be waaaaaaaay more aggro than their American counterparts.

It actually caused such a controversy on YouTube a few years ago that YouTube had to release a feature to individual creators to selectively block their videos in certain countries so that they could avoid the risk of getting copy-striked because their video aired where companies are pushed to hit everyone they can with cease and desist letters.

I had a train horn blast passing by neighborhood as this scrolled up on my screen.

I felt you might enjoy that small bit of coincidence

Can you elaborate? I feel like this kind of discussion needs detailing to produce answers worth listening to.

Actually I’m pretty sure those can poison you if you don’t grab them at the right time

Same goes for if it looks like a Tomato, those are nightshades and the only ones I know about that aren’t deadly to eat are tomatoes and peppers, and the peppers only because the poison they developed doesn’t kill you it just makes you feel like your entire digestive tract is on fire.

Depends on the situation, factory farming definitely, but for most natural raised situations I’d argue the animal’s well being is like 99% of the work being done.

It really is a symbiotic relationship we’ve developed with the things we’ve domesticated (or that domesticated us)

Especially animals reserved for working instead of eating, because in those situations oftentimes the food being made with the work is shared between the symbiotes.

That presumes the other side is worthy of arguing with.

We don’t reason with rabid dogs. We put them down.

All of those examples are linguistic drift though.

Naming a white girl moana isn’t the same as some guy named Peter and his russian buddy Pyotr realizing that their names derive from the same origin in Greek (or Aramaic depending on how much you wanna argue Kefa should count as the origin since Petros was a direct translation of it as a name)

No, just that it’ll pretty offensive for the white folks that have made polynesian life hell since just after they found the Pacific to suddenly begin jacking their names and cultural aesthetics because of a fun movie.

This is the same shit as the dreadlocks debate, people are still getting discriminated against for this stuff, it ain’t kosher to wear it like a costume while the people it originates from can’t wear it without catching shit when it was theirs from the start.

Not at all surprising, just like Netenyahu, the rally around the flag effect only helps you for so long if the public already hated your guts for being a terrible leader.

This is reminding me of that animated bit on YouTube where Krillen wishes Frieza’s ship was full of spiders with giant dicks that gave you AIDS if they bit you

I mean depending on their ethnic background naming the kid Moana would have been an issue for reasons besides being teased for being named after a disney princess.

I mean depends on the dog really, some good ones can have pork mixed in too.

The fact that the manifesto is hundreds of pages long, they hate everything good and decent is country enough to write hundreds of pages about how and why we should burn it all to the ground.

It’s funny because his sister looks like someone gender bent him and gave him a proper skin care routine

I don’t know what history books y’all read but the one I got wasn’t shy about the shit we’ve got on our heads, even if some previously lesser known atrocities weren’t part of the material

I’m lucky enough to have some security, so my plan is lay low and where I can play safehouse for the folks that need it, I’m not a fighter, but I have what I need and a little more, and I can use that to help whoever needs it.

I’ve got ideas for what the post crisis should look like, so probably try to find ways to network with the folks who are likely to be making that transition once this inevitably burns itself out.

Meantime, vote. Vote like your life depends on it because the odds are that you know someone who’s life does.

Time is our shield, and even if it’s only another four years, it’s four more years the windbag has to survive into his 80s to take another crack at it, by which time the crop of Dem governors are going to be making enough noise to be suitable replacements for Biden, and if he drops dead in that time, it is very likely the movement will be demoralized the same way JFK and RFK dying took the wind out of the Democrat’s sails.

The Redcaps are a cult, when the prophet of a cult dies without an already established right hand who can take over and reconsolidate the movement, the whole thing collapses under its own weight and the shock and grief of its members.

They aren’t gonna wake up to how wrong they’ve been, but they are gonna spiral hard and be unable to keep up the energy.

All that processing power and still not able to run triple A at max settings

A. Literally all of those High Speed Rail fantasy maps are just superimposed on existing routes.

B. You do realize that makes taking the kid on the plane even worse right, there are passenger ships that travel between the continents.
