Call of Duty Mid-Season Update Adds ‘80s Action Heroes

You gain nothing from fighting for the nobility across the waters who would rather forget you exist, and take all your money, land, and labor.

The developer didn’t win an appeal; the DMCA itself requires that disputed content be restored in the event of a legitimately issued counter-claim, and it does so without making any determination about which claim is valid. It basically just reverts to the status quo ante, leaving it up to the original claimant to…

This is true, but from the other side, the bodegas get to choose what they want to sell. They aren’t obligated to make Playboy available simply because they happen to have a magazine rack.

I think the point here is that if Apple is required to allow other app stores in iOS (like Epic), it opens up their platform to applications they don’t want to allow (like porn stuff.) By arguing that Epic is either tacitly allowing this or is just cluelessly unaware, Apple is saying they shouldn’t be required to…

Oof, that I didn’t know, had mistakenly assumed it was Apple’s argument. Not sure what Epic gets out of bringing those in as evidence.

This is my guess as well. If you want to download Fortnite for the Switch, you go through Nintendo’s ecosystem to do it; if you want to get skins on your PS4, you buy v-bucks in the PlayStation Store. Epic is either going to have to prove that Apple is doing something significantly different than those systems for the…

Damn, Marvel out here granting wishes!

Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym

Hmm. My take on this is the opposite, that the ‘Average Joe’ action stars of the 80s-90s are a deviation from the classic ideal of the male body, at least with respect to Western culture.

I’m sure he is 10x stronger than your average skinny guy

I was kind of shocked we didn’t get the Contessa’s plans more spelled out.

This gets mentioned from time to time, but just how good is Marvel at casting for its characters? Back in 2014, Anthony Mackie seemed like a guy destined for a bit part as Captain America’s other sorta sidekick, somewhere in the Hawkeye or lower tier of characters. Seven years later, and Mackie has shown himself to be…

Maybe he’s the one guy in 1940s Brooklyn who doesn’t see race

Just now reading this, had no idea you were a Buckeye! O-H!

edit: I realize my enthusiasm here is perhaps not entirely appropriate for the tone of the article...

This guy should have recognized...

I am, but I don’t remember seeing those ads. Probably looking at my phone until the theater lights went down :)

Interesting, thanks for that link. I don’t remember seeing that before my screening, but decent chance I just didn’t notice. Since the character’s history as a fighter pilot is decades old, I took it as a given that we’d see fighter planes and whatnot in the film, but wasn’t aware of any larger context.

What makes Captain Marvel pro-military propaganda? I haven’t seen it since it was in theaters, but I thought there was some obvious ‘boys club’ sexism in the Air Force scenes, keeping Carol out of a combat role, etc. I might not be remembering that right, but I don’t recall it being very flattering towards the…

highly anticipated
