Because I am benevolent, I am going to get the hardest part of this out of the way first, which is that you must never, ever, under any circumstances use the word "crazy" in reference to your ex-girlfriend.

I had to stop watching that video about 15 seconds in, out of secondhand embarrassment for this woman.

That's weird. I assumed it was in the footer so I scrolled down, but I never got there and assumed it was an infinitely-scrolling website. Assumptions!

The Chive appears to have failed to uphold the necessary terms in order to receive these protections from the DMCA. Specifically, it does not provide the name and contact information of a designated DMCA agent on any area of the website that would be considered "available to the public," which deprives the holders of…

This article contains a good explanation of why the Chive is not legally "in the clear," even if they didn't deliberately use copyrighted content and took it down immediately:

This is correct.

A savvy lawyer could easily demonstrate that the Chive profited from the use of copyrighted materials which, regardless of their intent or the means by which they obtained the photos, would make them vulnerable to legal action under the DMCA. In a world in which each click brings in money, it would be relatively easy…

Pro here. No, photos and other content posted on Reddit absolutely do not become Reddit's intellectual property (IP). The owner of intellectual property is always the holder of the copyright. The copyright-holder is usually* the creator of the content in question, which Reddit's TOS helpfully alludes to at the top of…

No matter where the photo came from, it's still the publisher's legal responsibility to ensure that the content they are publishing has been legally obtained and that they have the proper permissions from the original copyright holder.

I'm not having an argument or a conversation. I made a pretty straightforward two-post critique of your lacking ability to use charts to prove a point. Do you normally speak in a series of non sequiturs? I seem to recall your normal comment quality to be a little less wanting.

Incidentally, if what you're trying to demonstrate is that the South is more racist, and attempting to do so by conflating the data in those three graphs, I would suggest that you find a less ass-backwards way to do it. Like, for example, a listing of hate crime statistics by state. The actual data may not support…

Trust me, my ability to read graphs is not the problem.

I'm dying to know what exact point you're trying to make with those graphs. Go ahead, we'll wait.

The worst thing ever as a server was learning that people of a certain race tend to be more demanding and never tip*

If you were driving the route that takes you through Broken Bow, that *is* an excellent trip! The Sandhills portion is particularly lovely.

I felt like the storyteller was reading a lot of malice into that kid's behavior that wasn't necessarily there.

Ah, eau de cow shit. After a while, you really do get used to it. Around here we call it "the smell of money."

Of course, if you're talking about Lexington or Grand Island, what you're smelling is not a stockyard — it's a meat packing plant. And yes, that is on the Top 5 list of Worst Odors, somewhere between Hog…

So this hotel hosted plenty of groups for functions around the city, and one weekend we had a group of teenagers from the panhandle — like, fucking nowhereville in farm country — come into town for debate team championships of the world or whatever. These kids knew they were smart, and they knew there was NO SCENARIO…

Yep. One of my best friends is also an ex. I didn't think that this was that controversial. I'm still friends with most of the people I've dated. I was friends with most of them before we dated, and our friendships continued after.

especially if, as they mention, they're travelling in the Midwest
