Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time.
He has seen his birth and death many times, he says, and pays random visits to all the events in between.
I do wonder if this is specifically what got them, would probably take a lemmy lawyer to unpack it, but I would have to imagine if they didn’t have a patreon and basically a company, it would have been much harder for Nintendo to do anything about them. And I would also imagine in retrospect whatever money they got was not worth it when it ends like this.
I always assume when people operate services like this, that they host it in a country like Russia that’s less likely to care about takedowns by western corpos and done anonymously as possible. Even though it’s just an emulator, you would think they wouldn’t be so brazen as to have a patreon which I’m sure requires someone’s identity/billing info. They probably still could have been tracked down if they took crypto donations or something like that, but you would think that would be the first choice over putting a giant target on their backs. Patreon is obviously just gonna hand over whatever info they are asked to give when served a warrent, and so is Discord for that matter if they had any personal info on there too.
47* states*, most of Arizona has no DST although some of the reservations observe it
Even if it wasn’t
they have not blocked it and they probably won’t block it bc it involves signing in with your twitter and since it’s just an android app it’s not gonna get as big as nitter, I don’t think it’s really helpful to tell people to “just accept it” as an individual you’re not gonna be able to successfully lobby everything you follow to change to bluesky (which I think you can get rss feeds from) or masto (which you can get rss feeds from), like for example your city’s local government/services only posts on facebook and twitter, no rss, this is still useful for things like that
Yeah, scrolling through the RSS feed to find horrible things I didn’t know even happened.
IT WAS ALL THOSE DAMN AVOCADOS, WHY DIDN’T WE JUST SIMPLY STOP EATING THOSE AVOCADOS
IDK nothing indicated they would be booted, they pretty prominently announced they wouldn’t be restricting Israel from competing, to much controversy at that
I don’t disbelieve it, but I’m gonna wait to read about it not in the daily mail and I don’t think other serious sources have reported on it yet, unless google has just ceased working as a search engine which is very possible.
It only has to do with being an ebu/sister org member which many arab states are eligible to compete, but refuse to do so since Israel is in it/ in some cases having laws preventing the broadcasting of anything Israel was involved in making.
To be fair to the euros they tried to both sides it and let arab/north african countries in, but those countries refused for obvious reasons.
I’m personally against sentencing death regardless of what they did, especially in cases like Saudi Arabia where they have more than enough money to handle imprisoning people for life. Call me a crypto-catholic, but I don’t think killing people is good if it can be avoided, which in this case it definitely could have been.
Doesn’t help that being a cop unironically requires less training then the vast majority of other jobs. You would think giving someone a gun to point at people, who they’re largely supposed to “protect” would require at least a few years of training.
Employees “You have to not say anything about your politics or else you’ll lose your job”
Franchisees “Glory to the state, all hail death and destruction and swing by for a BigMac TM”
It’s a video from a good place, but doing things like this are exactly the kinds of things that fuel content leeches like Destiny, he’s one of the few people that is not worth responding too pretty much no-matter what, I guess the intention could be to offer deprogramming for Destiny’s audience, but it would be a much better use of time responding to people who’s jobs aren’t essentially farming hate against themselves.
God, an unironic “you mad bro” go back to reddit lmao
OMG THEY HAVE AN ARTICLE OMG THAT WAS TOTALLY MY POINT, I QUITE LITERALLY TALKED ABOUT REDISTRIBUTING THINGS FROM PRESS AGENCIES JFC, HOW CAN YOU READ WHAT I WROTE AND GET TO THIS, IS THERE ANYTHING RESIDING IN BETWEEN YOUR EARS ???
fact check! deboonked!
It’s a very good and thorough analysis, pretty much every live action remake of everything falls into the same trap of cutting substance/context in favor of having “cool” fight/action scenes. Unless an adaptation is extremely faithful to the original it will devolve into what kind of cool visuals can we do and then the actual substance of why those things happen and the point the writer was trying to illustrate is lost.
Also very insidious for the show to not include Saka putting on the Kioshi warriors’ costume because it would be seen as promoting drag/cross-dressing in kids media, that is one of the most memorable parts of that episode and it makes no sense not to include it other than to be as marketable as possible. Makes me wonder how the one piece live action will deal with it when they get to it, whether it’s the director’s choice in this adapation or something top down from the current netflix execs.
you managed so thoroughly to miss the point I was making, I’m impressed
