No, that’s not how free speech works. The government can’t make laws infringing on speech. Facebook is not the government.

Did any body see this? Apologies if it was a thing earlier. I was alternating between being so excited I was practically hyperventilating and being so distressed that this shit is going on I was pissed as hell and missed most of the day.

Soy milk has been made for centuries and was not traditionally made or consumed as a imitation milk, but as a beverage in its own right (since the people who invented it mostly didn’t drink dairy milk plain). The Chinese call it “soybean drink” (doujiang) and the Japanese call it “soybean milk” (tonyu). The use of…

Fellow vegan here, and this debate just exhausts me. Like, seriously?! The stupid dairy industry gets loads of government supplementation - and *still* can’t compete, and somehow they think the problem is that they call it almond/coconut/soy/rice “milk”?! F off with that already. Consumers are making a choice that…

Yeah, exactly. It’s not deceptive in terms of labelling, packaging, or marketing. The fact that it’s non-dairy is the main selling point. And in a lot of stores they don’t even sell milk and non-milk near each other. Whereas in my experience the shitty lying juice is designed to look like the good juice, and is…

Breaking News:

I will never understand the controversy over calling the non-dairy dairy replacements “milk”. Milk in this case is not a literal description, but instead a word that connotes the taste, texture, and uses of the beverage in a succinct way. We all know it didn’t actually come from an udder, we’re not confused, and we’re…

I’d say that the biggest problem with the concept is “there was a justification to Palpatine’s tyranny”. The idea that despotism can be tolerated for some nebulous “greater good” is a really unpleasant concept.

He already is the hero of his own story though. He’s bringing order and peace to the galaxy while removing the threat of the Jedi, from a certain point of view.

It’s right there in her story. She was given a genius grant award so financially she had the means to build what she liked. On top of that she had showed a list of materials she was gathering to what essentially her version of Twitter. If whatever government had a problem with it surely they would have shut her down…

I don’t see it. If anything this is much more like Big Hero 6: young genius constructs an autonomous robot and now they’re crime-fighting buddies.

Good thing they’re stepping in, because all this economic insecurity is really getting out of hand.

While I generally agree with you that the term is too long - making it so this would be in the public domain would be too short. Fate of Atlantis came out in 1992, that would make the term only 25 years. That’s shorter than it was even at inception (95 years from date of publication).

Imagine if you wrote a popular…

Correct. It is bad form to use someone’s IP without getting permission first.

This is another campaign speech. Devoid of substance as usual, without any specifics, and entirely tailored to appeal to his base.

Yea, this is the first one of these things I’ve ever bothered to watch live, so what do I know, but this strikes me as more of a shift dress-and-cardigan/blazer kind of event.

It also makes me feel bad for Will and Harry. I know they’re princes and have a life of extreme privilege etc, but the media has been gossiping about their mom for literally their entire lives to date. That’s gotta suck.

Don’t listen to her but thanks angry person.

This is is not good. I wish people would stop art wanking to Kanye’s shit.

Huh I always thought of “Mary Sues” as basically wish fulfillment characters regardless of gender....I didn’t know it had been co-oped. Still I don’t think that Mon-El fits it:
