Vance, being a lawyer, knows which words have meaning.
That’s why he wrote ‘tell’ ‘command’ and ‘control’ instead of ‘rules’ ‘orders’ or ‘directs’.

Threat of a lawsuit is not a lawsuit.
What happens commonly is the threat of legal liability is used as a tool to gain some kind of leverage or compliance.
In business this is very prominent practice of utilizing capital to suppress competition. Inserting trouble + waste of time and money into your competition is very American.

I live next to fairgrounds. Every Saturday: Gun and Knife Show.
But I also remember working at a marina and where I saw far more transactions take place between two parked vehicles than anything that requires paperwork.
- Comment on It's a good group! 4 weeks ago:
Warhammer 40k lore is on the level of racism and genetic determinism that resonates with nazibrain.
Every faction is a caricature and parody of some ideological concept where every member is obligated to live and die exactly as they’re supposed to.

When the first major migration from reddit happened and people didn’t yet know about mod logs there was a whole lot of blatant misrepresentation of what was or wasn’t said that got someone banned by an instance. A lot of hastily deleted comments and accounts as well. So tales of tankie moderation are usually in need of a hefty grain of salt.

Mainstream coverage seems to have been trying to tell everyone everywhere not to believe their lying eyes.
Some appear to have modified their reporting to actually say it was a Nazi salute however, ostensibly under pressure.

Only if it is a 2 pack of 1kg containers. I know costco does that often so I imagine walmart might too. (And if that 2-for-12 runs you a total of 4 kg.)

- Comment on Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? 5 weeks ago:
The necktie needs a line of horizontal stitching along the chest as it puts a lot of vertical focus on the duck. The bowtie balances out the vertical stitching with its horizontal orientation.
Also/alternatively a vertical seam up the neckline might help with the neck being noisy with the stitch and tie.

- Comment on For a group that considers .world to be Reddit 2.0 and a "CIA propaganda front" they seem to get awfully mad whenever it comes up 5 weeks ago:
the vocal ones there seem to have a superiority complex against ml, hexbear and lemmygrad.
Those vocal ones who tend to call ‘genocide denial’ and ‘genocide apologia’ have a track record of supporting Israel in Gaza or outright glorifying Imperial Japan and chinese warlords. They’re well aware of the absurdity, which is the point of their drive to enter leftist spaces.
The same folk tend to enter lgbtq and trans spaces to gatekeep definitions there–where they also get banned and then complain about it.

My utility company spams me with warnings to reduce consumption to save them money in surge events while also shaming people for being in the top 40th percentile of consumption because they’ve got all these empty houses not using power to compare to.

- Comment on Anon is a winner 1 month ago:
My spouse has been relistening to the books on tape recently and so I have been hearing it by proxy.
The narrators really put in the work to make some flimsy writing seem engaging. Like in one of the later books there’s this significant scene where some evil magic makes an evil visage of Hermione. In the subsequent chronological scene the real Hermione is super angry at Ron and not once does the writing reference or make a connection with any of the imagery between the two.
- Comment on Racism nas gone too woke! 1 month ago:
A lot of racists love race. It is why they’re racist. Race is what means certain people belong in certain places and others are not.
It also obscures class consciousness: the underlying reason racism is such a popular political tool for any given ruling class.

- Comment on Anon goes out of bounds 1 month ago:
I personally did not lose a whole crate. A few times with a certain set of crew some product was left on the beach uncrated and caught in the incoming tide. Keeping pace with the tides was a big part of the job so it was mostly a rookie mistake.
A few times some crates spilled or flipped on the lift and haul up onto the barge when you were chest deep and lifting over your head, but I only ever lost maybe a dozen in the six years I did it. A full crate actually sinks at a fairly slow rate so if you lose your grip you can just let it drop and scoop any floaters trying to escape.
Now I did have to dive couple feet a few times for a sinking crate but nothing far out of reach of my headlamp. Definitely spooky though.

I used to work in aquaculture and would often work low tides.
Just so happens the best aquaculture beaches are intertidal shelves. I would often be walking the beach hauling crates of shellfish to a barge that would be perched over 20+ foot deep water.
During the salmon runs the Orca would come right up to the water’s edge.
I will never forget seeing the sheen of at least two Orca a few feet away from me pacing the edge. Could just feel them watching me. They stayed away from the motorized pump on the barge but once I’d go out a hundred or so feet to where the diggers left crates I’d sense them in the dark.

I feel like if they had made the bold move to animate in a more stylized fashion it might have fared better. The fairly generic anime look implies a fairly generic storytelling, accurate or not.

Thankfully as we’re all breaking into our 40s, we have finally reached a point our society expected of us by 25. All it took was the slow deaths of our families.
But our kids are gonna be fucked! Thanks boomer for telling us that should make us feel better like it apparently did your generation.
