She made money from training the horses her family owned on the farm they also own. Way to be self-made by getting paid by your parents.

per wiki her dad is construction company owner, so yes. She probably had more than babysitting money.

When JLaw talks about Kentucky everyone seems to picture her as a plucky little waif hand-pumping well water surrounded with a yard full of rusting broken-down cars. But she’s from one of the state’s wealthiest suburbs with demographics that border on a whites-only gated community. Her “babysitting money” probably…

Elementary school teachers. Their job is to be super nice and calm people down. Never play this kind of game with a teacher.

Ilhan Omar is delightfully murderous as an impostor.

Beats the hell out of some blood-money-stuffed puppet.

Manbabies: Video games should be taken seriously!

Not sure if this means he’s joining at all. But he is decidedly left-leaning and rational. That’s why I enjoy his content. 

I thought Nathan covered this part well enough. This benefits artists not so much the labels so the labels crack down on it. The way that it has always worked is unless you’re very big the artists make their money off tours (RIP) and merch while the label makes money off of selling the record, rights to play or use…

You are trying to see a bigger picture here where there is none. It’s not like they really want content creators to stop for the sake of the artists, they just realized they benefit monetarily from copyright claims. Being a bully makes them more money than some promotion on a dude’s stream, end of story.

This actually has to do with recording arts labels. The music itself is whatever - it’s the people who run the labels who “own the rights” to the music in question that is the problem. Unfortunately, most of these labels don’t give a fuck about whether or not it’s “transformative” - and neither does Twitch, frankly. Fo…

The DMCA deserves a kick in the teeth. It’s an abusive law that creates even more abusive systems and it needs a repeal and redo a million times more than the moronic right thinks Obamacare needs to be repealed.

As someone very familiar with ASCAP licensing, I assure you, the expense would FAR exceed revenue for most streamers.

In essence, it’s the game devs/publishers adopting a policy of looking the other way in exchange for publicity/buzz.

I’ve never really understood how streamers are allowed to play video games on camera legally, either.

Doesn’t literally all video game content on Twitch contain copyrighted music?

Not only did they not inform streamers of what videos were found to be in violation, but they also removed their means for appeal. As much as some streamers definitely deserved a DMCA kick in the teeth, this isn’t how it should be done.

Candy that you can just go and buy too.

And there’s a 97.32% chance your sources are off or you’re bad at math. But what’s 220,000 lives as long as your kid gets candy?

I’m not falling for the “but, but, childhood experiences” line anymore. I missed a few trick-or-treating nights as a kid due to illness or inclement weather. Guess what? I didn’t grow up to be a mentally disturbed serial killer. Missing one Halloween is not going to ruin your kid’s childhood. Is it going to ruin their…
