- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 8 months ago:
Also public figures have to prove “actual malice” in a defamation or libel. Actual malice is an incredibly hard thing to prove.

Well the quest for a universal aspect ratio was lost in the fifties. Just be glad you don’t have to watch pan and scan VHS transfers of films shot in cinemascope

Things like acid and salt act as flavor enhancers but the don’t enhance all flavors equally so you perceive less flavors you dislike in proportion to the flavors you enjoy.

- Comment on An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why 1 year ago:
They are well within copyright in terms of timeline. Anything after 1927 can and likely is subject to copyright. I don’t like it but that’s how it works. Given that they are images from trading cards, it would not surprise me if the rights holder was enforcing copyright through a third party service.

Not true. Dan acted as a probono advisor to plaintiff’s council in one of the Texas cases. He never testified. He did sit in on a deposition and suggest a few questions and lines of questioning

You should check out Knowledge Fight. They are the experts. When the Times wants to cover him they call them.

- Comment on 4 careers where workers will have to change jobs by 2030 due to AI and shifts in how we shop, according to a McKinsey study 1 year ago:
“The glass-half-empty version is that the people who are most vulnerable to some of these shifts are some of the lower-paid folks in the economy,” he said, adding, “The glass-half-full version is if we’re actually able to transition them through re-skilling, etc., then they could be taking on roles that actually have higher incomes. If we can make the labor market work by enabling these transitions, it’s actually all for the good.”
The half full narrative is both naive and unrealistic. Even if lower paid people universally get paid more landlords and food providers will just raise prices because they can. The last three years proved that.
- Comment on Why SAG-AFTRA’s Streaming Revenue Sharing Proposal for Casts Was Flatly Rejected by AMPTP 1 year ago:
