I’m no copyright laywer but I believe that fan fic that qualified as satire would have some pprotections. The best satire, IMO, is both a send up but also something of an homage to the soruce material, and often (not always) benefits when done by fans of the original work.

You might want to do some more resreach about using dryer lint as a fire starter, especially in emergency situations. Remeember this idea came into being years ago when clothes had more nartual fibers. Today with so many clothes being made with artifical fibers and being treated with various chemicals, burning lint…

Sadly, we live in society where our laws contribute to our callousness. Saying the wrong things in a call or even a condolence card could open the employer of whoever made those statements more liable than they might otherwise be found. In US civil cases liability is broken down by percentage, X company is 30% liable,…

There is also a creative mode that has been there for a while. You start with all blueprints so you can build whatever. You can recharge anything instantly, shields, oxygen, life support, etc never run out. Hostile fauna and sentinels don't spawn save is a few scripted missions. You can just explore and build in…

Interesting, though he didn’t use the hyphens it made me think more of Orwell, thoughtcrime, doublespeak, bellyfeel, blackwhite, New Speak is full of such terms.

Somebody has way too much time on their hands. 

While your overall point is not wrong, your facts are shoddy, shootings yes. School shootings, no. In 2021 there were over 600 shootings where 4+ people were shot while 22 people died in school shootings. While every death is tragic and the number of shooting deaths in the US supports your underlying point it’s not…

Also, to be clear. Changes like making the cast more diverse and inclusive are a good thing but seem like such a slap in the face with the fridging and broken home equals becoming a criminal and lair nonsense.

As a hardcore fan of the books don’t mind some changes. What the showrunner has often done however is lazy writing. Giving Perrin a wife who has like three lines and then gets killed in the first episode just to be a focal point to make him angsty (fridging), is lazy. And as a trope so often called oit it’s not “cosmet…

The show is an alternate history, where a fictional character bursts onto the Chess scene. Many shows and movies show alternate histories where the lives of real people are portrayed as happening differently, where the genders of real- life key players are changed (The Aeronaunts), or other alterations made. All the…

Hasbro used crowd funding to get a special edition Transformer and Star Wars collectibles made, despite the latter franchise being a multi-billion dollar merchandising juggernaut. I fail to see the logic of picking on CDPR when they are far from the first major company to use crowd funding to back a project. Crowd…

So they’ll trot out more Copaganda showing the cops, and prosecutors as always getting the right person ans onlu roughing up bad guys who “deserve it” and further poisoning the minds of the majority of Americans who think shows like these portray the reality of courts to the point that potential jurors are asked what…

I didn’t watch the show much but from what little I saw the idea that they we all in some VR simulation experiment run by Dharma seemed to make the most sense to me (again I didn’t watch much because the show struck me as an attempt to make the answer anything but what fans had figured out based on their…

I’m so tried of shows that offer more mysteries than answers, week after week. I’m also done with shows that end with many things unresolved because the writers gamble that they won’t be canceled. I wish more shows would learn to resolve the main plot points of a season while leaving a few new ones, or minor plots…

Whoever struck him down was not being very godlike, you say? What do you want, fire and brimstone? Sounds like a rocket launcher, at least as far as the visual effect. Maybe turning him into a pillar of salt would have been more godlike.

While the woman’s behavior was uncalled for and unacceptable the fries were oversalted to her taste. Taste is individual to each person, there is no objectively correct answer. You’d think a food site would realize that. In any case, her actions were appalling.

It’s also important to note that the threat of Godzilla turning on humanity doesn’t exist on a whim. Godzilla is an avatar of nature sent to remind us that we have tampered with the natural order. He is a source of horror shaped by his origins in the only culture on Earth where civilians were directly attacked with…

In 2021 and after the events of last summer and multiple reports and studies in recent years that have shown how police procedurals skew the views of Americans about how our criminal justice system works, it would be nice if they were going to spend so much tim explaining stuff if they broke the mold and showed people…

It sounds to me like the diagnosis in the film was based on the poor science of the time the films was made. I don’t want to sound like I am throwing LGBT people under the bus, but as a black man we also need more films that counter the standard narrative that cops, other officials always get things right. This…

You are better off not knowing. I know many argue the ending doesn’t matter so long as the rest of the game was good but after that ending I have never been able to play ME3 a 2nd time, despite 12 ME playthroughs and 7 of ME2. Endings matter to some of us more than some people realize. You are a rare bird, few people…
