They would try, fail, and give up after they lose their first cube. Predators like hunting and humans are too greedy so they just keep letting planets get overrun with the damn things.

No Jeffrey Combs means it's not in universe.

The audience for this is ethnic Russians in the Baltic countries. They want those folks to cause trouble even if they have no intention to do anything about it. Around of a quarter of Latvia and Estonia are ethnic Russians.

“unfair” by the fanboys

There can't honestly be a lot of them. I'm sure even folks who donated don't have that much of their personal ego wrapped up in a game engine. Not to say there aren't none, of course, because there's always people who really will cling to anything.

How successful are these appeals generally? I'd imagine an appeal court doesn't want to really step in unless there's a major problem with the judge's reasoning since they weren't there for the case and aren't looking to retry it.

Listen, your fan theories about which character is the top and which character is the bottom don't have a place in Risa. /s

In this case its this group of police's role. They're tied up with MI5 and Home Office. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_Terrorism_Policing

US has something similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Terrorism_Task_Force

Eat the middle class huh? I'm sure it will do wonders for the Argentine economy.

That's just really funny to me to make a diminutive out of a diminutive. Martini already means Marty. Both Martinez and Martin, which they are respectfully diminutives of come from the Latin Martinus for a child dedicated to the god Mars.

I think one of the most helpful things you can do for yourself in actually understanding WHAT racism is is to first understand that you don't get to call yourself anything. You're white because society deems that you're white. You can rail against that all you want but you'll still be white. Now not everybody will actually follow that logic, but the vast majority will because those codes are internalized. They can change over time (I believe that currently folks of the Levant are being slowly considered nonwhite despite them historically, within the last hundred years at least, being considered white) but they're unlikely going to change for you.

That's a fig leaf. US courts might agree with that argument, but European courts will see that it all is monopolistic practices to support their ad business. YouTube itself can't survive market dominance without it's preferential deals with it's parent company's hosting and ads. Ask viemo how using cloud hosting to serve video and third party ads works out. It would be suicidal. The truth is they ALREADY should be broken up.
