Totally my mistake here. It was a very lazy (and hungover) Sunday. I tried looking up the requirements for a DMCA takedown notice, because, as I said, I thought it might be amusing to try to start filing frivolous ones against the trolls. I thought the site I was looking at was laying out legal requirements under the…

I don’t understand why someone couldn’t arrest them for perjury at the least.

Dear Sarah,

FYI: Lions aren’t classed as an endangered species. Currently, they are classed as vulnerable (one step up from endangered). This is not at all meant to be a snarky point; I actually didn’t know that when this story broke but happened to encounter it while looking into some material on the issue. Also, I’m not sure…

Copyrights and patents were not originally intended to be permanent. The founding fathers gave Congress the ability to grant copyrights and patents primarily to incentivize the creation of works that would eventually become public domain. The thought was, you might not want to spend too much time writing a great book…

Let’s all take a moment to be thankful that Sonny Bono and Disney were able to come together and make sure this would still be a fucking issue worth wasting any time discussing.

Call Randy and tell him he’s breaking your balls here?

I think the trolls tend to undermine their own claims, though. I feel like if (and this is a very, very, very, absurdly, comically, incoherently big if) they were making this up “for the attention”, there is no way they would continue to speak up once they realized how shitty some people can be to those who come…

Yes, but only because Jim Carrey is dangerous at any dosage level.

Yeah, mine did the same, and Ross Perot won, oddly enough. I think it was because he looked and acted like a cartoon character so all the kids found him really funny.

We don’t even need a tax in this case. The cost of meat and dairy is currently kept artificially low due to farm subsidies, most of which go to the big corporations running massive feedlots. If you get rid of those, the cost of both goes up which would naturally lower consumption. Ditching the subsidies, though, would…

I think Jason neglected to mention it, but Persona 5 is coming out on both the PS4 and the PS3. I’m in the same boat as all I have at the moment is a PS3, so I’m psyched that there will be at least two good JRPGs out for the older system this year. I’m also looking forward to Trails of Cold Steel now since I haven’t…

Not only is it annoying, it is lacking a sense of history. Cartoons were first developed for adult audiences and there has been a long history of cartoons aimed at appealing to both audiences. When I was a kid, very, very early in the Saturday morning cartoon block, they would show old Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes,…

I’ve seen a few comments related to this below, but out of curiosity, if you had to choose just one episode to introduce someone to Adventure Time, what would it be?

For anyone looking to buy discs, be forewarned: They will (soon) have seasons 1-5 available, but Cartoon Network keeps releasing a bunch of compilation discs for shows like this that have a random assortment of episodes from different seasons. So, anyone who wants to get into the show should stick with the seasons…

So, I actually wrote a response based on my general impression of Megyn Kelly without watching the full video, and now, I am kind of wondering if you did the same. She does push the issue a bit early on, but she is also setting him up in the end so he can try to dodge and diffuse any gender bias. While this might be…

The thing is, it’s not even well-off white women but more any category that happens to apply to Megyn Kelly personally. She showed, as far as I am aware, no signs of concern for maternity leave pre-pregnancy. She showed, as far as I am aware, no signs of concern for antagonistic gender bias until someone was a dick to…

...had trouble deciding and then had access problems...

I tip my cap to you for that, but I also worry that, given this amendment, progress won't really be made unless we can find a way to change up the legislature. In my district, the incumbent candidate (who is a grade A piece of shit) ran unopposed. During the previous election, he had a challenger who was running as a…

Same here, and what really gets me is that quite a few people voted for this because they simply didn't understand what it was trying to do. I know some people who not only voted for this but campaigned for it, and I pointed out to them that this would allow the legislature to block or restrict abortion access even in…
