Imagine being able to put “I deleted Donald Trump’s Twitter account” on your resume... Shouldn’t be hard to find a job with that, I’d hope.

There’s a good parallel here with the gaming industry. It seems in any highly-aspirational industry, people will take advantage of the fact that you really want to work for them and give you horrible pay and/or work conditions that would be intolerable in a more mundane job.

Hopefully she learned that it would be a good idea to also try teaching the lesson that money doesn’t grow on trees (followed by the appearance of a money tree). Then she could go to NASA and teach that them what goes up must come down (followed by the development of anti-gravity technology). So many lessons, so

Normally no, but it’s not impossible. This actually happened with Roe v. Wade - the appeals process took so long that the plaintiff had already given birth by the time it was heard at the Supreme Court (a year after she discovered she was pregnant), but they decided to hear it anyway so they could weigh in on the

The BBC made a big mistake over a decade ago, yup. That doesn’t mean they can’t correct the failings that led to that though, or that they aren’t generally accurate despite the occasional mistake (however bad the results of it may be).

And besides, can you point to a more reliable news source?

There has to be a twist...

Don’t forget about Pittsburgh, especially after the way they shot back at Trump when he tried to use them as an excuse to ditch the Paris Climate Accords.

I like telling people like you to look up, so they can catch sight of the joke flying over their heads.

Well, cat owners. I don’t think we’ve figured out yet whether cats themselves prefer making a mess or having and infinitely spinning roll of toilet paper.

No one said anything about not buying the game. The emulator cuts out the PS3, but you still need a game to play on it.

The fact that that was on the list of options and “See if you can get a lover with his consent (consider consensual polyamory)” wasn’t on the list was a big problem there though.

“You do realize copyright is a use it or lose it system right?”

Which makes using them for a wiki, which is built around the principle than anyone can edit to fix mistakes, possibly the worst possible use for them.

After finding out more about this, I have to go back on what I said here. Apparently there was a message on the website for Firewatch that explicitly gave permission to Lets Players to stream it and monetize those streams. That changes things a lot; they can’t give that right and then retroactively take it away and

Yeah, it is weird. But it’s really a case of an existing legal arrangement being shoehorned to work for her situation. This kind of reminds me of how, before gay marriage was legalized in the US, there was one couple where one legally adopted the other to secure rights they’d otherwise have gotten through marriage. In

From what I heard about her conservatorship, she was actually quite happy with the arrangement; it wasn’t forced on her against her will. Not sure if it’s still going on, but hey, if it works for her, I’m not going to say she shouldn’t be in it anymore.

It’s not simply a DMCA issue, but a question of whether or not LPs are copyright infringement or an example of fair use. When it’s not fair use, the DMCA is working as intended to expediently take down infringing content; it’s only a misuse of the DMCA when fair use isn’t considered (or, as in the Alex Mauer debacle,

It’s not that simple. All units can awaken to a higher tier, and pretty much any unit worth using in end-game content can be awakened to 6*. But some units start out at higher tiers than others, and those who start out higher are a lot rarer. 4* base units are about 1/4 as common as 3* base units, and 5* base units
