How does one steal Funko Pop's IP? Create an ugly figure with a giant head and no face? Is that so common that they need an AI system to watch for IP infringement?

If a company wanted to get into the figure business, maybe they could just make figures that look good, and thus avoid infringing Funko Pop's style.

On the 4th of July, American's don't celebrate that British soldiers were killed, we celebrate the society we won in the process.

Yeah. It would be so satisfying.

But in the long run in think engaging in this bogus cultural war issue only hurts trans people. They might try to stop them from using bathrooms at all or something crazy.

That's why I say de-escalating and sending a message of "I'm just a person that wants to mind my own business and be comfortable" might be better than a message of "your stupid and your policies don't make sense". Both are true, I don't know which is more effective.

This is brilliant. If someone like in there photo wanted to hold a sign saying "Mike Johnson wants me to use the women's bathroom", it would cause waves.

Maybe a less aggressive message like, "I just want to use the mens bathroom, where I'm comfortable, but Mike Johnson won't let me". Because it focuses on people just wanting to be left alone to go to the bathroom in peace.

Or, best yet, have a transman that lifts and looks like they can snap Mike Johnson like a toothpick--have that transman catch up with Mike Johnson in the hallway and ask him why he has to use the women's bathroom. Instant viral.

I watched a Vaush interview with Erin Reed: https://youtu.be/B7f-sh6qpyc

She talked about Florida banning trans people from using their preferred bathroom. It is already the law. This isn't good, but, she says, a hopeful silver lining is that the law has never been enforced against anyone, as far as she knows.

I guess no one wants to spend their life standing outside a bathroom checking birth certificates.

So, whatever the law or rules say, it's still important for people to stand up for what's right and ignore unjust laws. And, you know, just mind your own damn business.

You literally just need to go into the discussion boards for trending games or check out the curation pages for groups like “DEI watch.”

I just spent 10 minutes doing both of these things and didn't see any questionable content.

I did see gamers saying things like "this game sucks", but nothing worse.

At this point I think you should provide a link to an example.

You don't have to flip a trick coin to call the outcome.

Heros put themselves in front of bullets to protect others.

Trump puts others in front of bullets to protect himself.

Jesse Waters knows a lot about affairs.

He cheated on his wife, they divorced, he married the woman he was cheating with.

Deno looks interesting.

But Bun choosing Zig makes me think their priorities are not my priorities. As of now, you choose Zig (a not-yet-stable language) because you want to learn Zig and make a neat side-project. Those are not my priorities. Zig offers no unique advantages other than neat new syntax.

Deno chose Rust, which, like Zig, is new, but Rust has reached 1.0 and offers a unique advantage with its safety features. I'm not saying anything about the greatness of Rust here, only that Rust does offer unique advantages, and Rust could be chosen because of general priorities.

Bun chose Zig and then worked backwards and formed their priorities around Zig. Deno formed their priorities and their priorities lead them to Rust.

That's how I feel anyway.

Were just waiting on WASM to be able to access the DOM APIs directly, and then all languages will be first class citizens on the web, and then RIP JavaScript.

Nothing wrong with changing the constitution, as long as people do what's required.

The journalists and the culture at the newspaper wanted to endorse Harris, but the billionaire owner swooped in and overrode all of that. This is obvious.

I realized there's another layer to how messed up this is though. A newspaper changed it's journalistic practices to benefit an aerospace company (Blue Origin). Why is a newspaper connected to an aerospace company?

More and more companies are being owned by fewer and fewer people. The American dream is dead, the free market is a myth at this point.

Throttling everyone equally during times of congestion is also fair in its own way. I'd be okay with that.

I like this term, "billionaire media", because right-wing media likes to use "mainstream media" as a slur to dismiss any other media source that disagrees with them. It's a term that shuts down thinking and gets people to automatically dismiss any claim from "mainstream media".

"Billionaire media" doesn't really work this way, because if Fox News starts criticizing "billionaire media", eventually some viewers are going to wake up and realize, "wait, isn't Fox News owned by a billionaire too?"

People, especially Republicans, love to talk about the "mainstream media". That term needs to die.

There is only "billionaire media" and "independent media".

You're billionaire media if your owned or funded by a billionaire; I don't care if you're only on YouTube, if you're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from sponsors, you're part of the billionaire media.

If you're funded by a bunch of small donations or have no funding at all, then you are independent media.

Today my trust for billionaire media sank even lower.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You're responsible. I don't care what the legal definitions say.

If we don't care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn't cause all this?
