You can get the files if you want, they're just very expensive and to the tune of hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars. Also they're typically encrypted and can only be played back on an approved projection system and you have to buy decryption keys every time you want to watch the movie. This is why theaters suck by the way, they have to pay for the movie, the ability to play the movie, the ability to take money in exchange for people seeing the movie, etc.

Something tells me that fucking with vtubers probably isn't a great idea for YouTube.

Jesus Christ what a terrible way to advertise your program.

Edit: that's also why I said, "probably" a bigot. I figured there was a chance it was supposed to be legitimately educational but poorly designed; but I also figured that, in the current political climate, there was a significantly higher chance of it being bigoted.

I read this as, "who comes, who decides, country, who comes this to."

I think it's supposed to be read as, "Who Comes: who decides who comes to this country." Like, the title is supposed to be "Who Comes" with the subtitle, "who decides who comes to this country" but they've decided to throw out all rules on how English is read and instead of going left-to-right, top-to-bottom (or top-bottom, left-right); they've decided to have the text follow some strange, meandering order that involves going right-to-left, top-to-bottom, then left-to-right, then bottom-to-top.

What the fuck?

Why are you trying to make me play "guess the order" with your political pamphlets?

At least it's super obvious that I can just ignore it because whoever handed those out is probably a bigot.

Then why the fuck did you bother to look it up? Click 'em you coward.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 16 points 11 months ago

Had to look that up; damn, what a pretty mineral.

I've always kinda thought it'd be fun to collect shit like this, but then I remember that they're probably radioactive or filled with dimethylmercury or something.

Bruh.

This was very similar to the act of using butterfly mines. Yes, Hezbollah were the ones who ordered them, but you cannot be certain that they were going to stay in hezbollah's hands. There are examples of these things going off in public places or in hospitals. This wasn't some crazy precision strike, this was just terrorism. They could have done things to reduce collateral, like detonating them at night so they blow up in people's homes instead of at a store, but instead it seems like they made decisions that would increase collateral (like detonating the bombs during the day, when they could blow up at a store).

Hell, imagine if one of those things had been on a plane? The blasts were big enough that it could have almost certainly punched a hole through a plane's hull if someone was sitting in a window seat.

If Israel had, I dunno, made a cellphone with a bullet in the speaker which got triggered when you received a call from known Hezbollah leaders, then I'd be more supportive of it. But planting bombs in electronics that could make their way out of hezbollah's hands and into civilian hands is a big no-no to me. And yes, pagers could make it into civilian hands, doctors still widely use them in many places including the US. I personally don't think it seems outside the realm of possibility that hezbollah might hand out extra pagers to hospitals for the purpose of creating a positive image with locals. Same reason why drug lords usually try to keep their territories clean and invest in local projects.

Edit: it's not laughing about Hezbollah getting fucked that makes me uncomfortable; by all means, fuck 'em, laugh it up. It's how they got fucked that makes me uncomfortable. That's why I'm not very into the idea of celebrating it.

Ugh, this sounds similar to a slapp suit. I don't know if there's a term for companies that sue just to put someone out of business (as opposed to a patent troll, who's goal is not to put someone out of business but instead milk them for as long as possible), but that's probably what's going on here. Between it being a patent suit and not a copyright suit, and Nintendo from what it sounds like is basically saying "we think you're infringing, though we don't know what", it sounds like Nintendo is going for distance, not effectiveness.

I love evil Sims. They are so much fun to play, especially with mods. Nice Sims are too... real? Like, in order to have a nice or otherwise relatively normal sim, you kinda have to play them like a real person which can get too real. But evil sims can be played like a cartoon supervillain. My current crackhead is a hideously deformed twig named Shpingle Bab

Edit: also, in Sims 4 specifically I now have a tradition where Johnny Zest gets immediately marked as immortal whenever I start a new save because he becomes the neighborhood punching bag (thanks Vargskelethor for making this disproportionately amusing), his yard becomes the graveyard for that save, and the ghosts all get autonomous violence turned on. It's fun to sometimes just watch the ghosts fruitlessly trying to kill each other with the occasional passerby getting recruited to their ranks.
