Avengers: Infinity War almost started with a 45-minute invasion of Xandar showing Thanos retrieving the Power Stone, according to the characters’ creator, Jim Starlin. It probably would have been epic, but Marvel apparently ultimately scrapped footage for the ambitious prologue to save money and keep the movie …

This is disappointing to hear. The episode with him and William Hurt’s character is one of my favorite in the show, and they tried to give CW a sweet sendoff in S3 despite his physical absence.

Honestly feeling embarrassed that in our discussions of why they might have written him off, neither me nor my partner pitched "sex pest." It seems naive in retrospect.

Oh fuck off. Making up a scenario that doesn’t exist to say racism is somehow acceptable by comparison makes no sense.

Shut the fuck up, chud.

Name one instance where “trans people” (BTW, not all cross dressers are trans) are performing strip shows in kindergartens.

Committing federal crimes for clout.

Despite the overt racism apparent in the “Thug Shaker Central” Discord, an anonymous member told the Post that that community was not “a fascist recruiting server.”

A law like that would be opposed by the large companies, but it would in no way cost the lawyers money. The underlying legal costs wouldn’t change, it would just shift the burden of paying them to the other party. Actually, lawyers would probably make more money off of this, because there would be less reason to…

Actually the defense can file a motion to dismiss regardless of the other pending motions. Citing any evidence submitted during discovery when doing so. At which point most judges would look at the massive list of games that have been ignored including massive titles like monster hunter and throw it out with prejudice.

Most of this could be avoided if we just strengthened the ability to make someone pay your legal fees and damages if they file a frivolous lawsuit. Then this dude could just hire a team of lawyers, fight for as long as it takes to win the case, and make Monster foot the bill.

That’s the problem. Not just in games, but any industry. Big guys can afford to throw lawyers at something they’re destined to lose, but they can absorb the loss. The small guys still need to pay lawyers to prove that they’re right, but it probably costs everything they have. So even if they win, they don’t have money…

I wish there was a general legal blowback for patent trolls, if the average american can fall victim to the bullshit of the “three strikes rule”, there should be something like this for repeated offenders of patent trolling, the consequences should ramp up.

Oh this started well before Zenimax...with Monster Cable, the fine folks who had a cottage industry in the 00's of selling generic AV and power cables with lots of dubious marketing claims and premium prices. (In fact, they went after Monster Energy well over a decade before it was a Coca-Cola brand...along with…

The irony of you using that meme when you yourself don’t understand what fascism is.

He may not be banning them out-right, but he’s given power to a bunch of right-wing, religious people who are now deciding what books should and should not be allowed and he has left the topics so general that nearly anything could potentially be banned for any reason. For instance, any text book that violates their…

Isn’t violence toward opposition kind of required for facism?

We aren’t calling banning books in schools fascistic, we are calling the way, reasoning and scope with which its done in this case, along with the sheer volume and what topics and people it targets fascistic

No, no it is absoutley you who doesn’t understand these words or how to use them.

I wouldn’t call banning books in schools facist, he’s not banning them outright.
