my dumbass dissertation advisor spent an hour and a half this morning working through my design and getting stuck on all of the stuff i did, and eventually came to the same conclusion as me, even though i literally laid out every step i took to reach my conclusion and explained it to her she was like, no, that's not right and then worked through it and i was fucking right and she's like "this is great, let's do this, we were really productive today" bitch why are you wasting my time

Probably pure paprika. But it's been kept in huge bulk and likely just all gets stale by the time it's packaged and sent out.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
maybe it is made out of bell peppers?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

wew, I watched youjo senki yesterday and today watched 16 episodes of guin saga that is more anime in 2 days than in past 2 months
But pro tip if you want to do european dishes don't do anything from northern or eastern europe due to general lack of resources, we never developed a "culinary kitchen" untill much later, as in 20th century so most recipes are basically peasant food so not that delicacies, ofc with skill, experience and picking the right ingredients and making most out of them, you can get them to taste heavenly. but that requires repetition, repetion and repetition good borsch is good borsch
Like take Karelian pot/stew, which was a fancy food for the common folk during celebrative occasions (christmas, easter etc), but entered common meal status post industrialisation. It is just carrots, potatos/other root veggies, onions and meat and what made it special the MEAT

I am quite sure he went with "kids stuck in underwater cave" hey this could be solved with a sub and then he actually found out what kind of cave and that it is 1. inland 2. quite tiny passages 3. just partially covered in flood water in several places and not continously and so on and by then "welp too late to backdown"
Maria
the funniest thing about the cave arc was people saying stuff like "WHY DON'T THEY JUST PUMP THE WATER OUT" or "WHY DON'T THEY JUST DRILL A HOLE" Like wow thanks mate you solved the problem that the high up geologists and other experts couldn't Give yourself a pat on the back

elon musk behaved stupidly but there's a lot to the story

i get that but i think it's important to let you know that you're really uninformed about the situation too so it's kind of baseless

Kirara ๐
his money should be used to improve material conditions in areas directly affected by apartheid building schools, libraries, etc repairing and improving infrastructure there's no way to give reparations to individuals, so if you're going with reparations, using the money to improve disadvantaged areas is the only feasible option
I'm not really too focused on the currency specifically either Wealth isn't just extracted and set to gather dust MCM baby
FormerRei@mobile
Another thing is that even if he ddoes do >>534948 Pretty much unless he gives like 99% of his fortune into it People will still say he didn't do enough.
>>534948 so just seize all of his money, eh? money maybe not hard earned, but money earned nonetheless I'd understand if you took just the amount he started with, or he'd be pressured into starting "Musk family for apartheid relief" in SA but seizing all of his assets now?
Kirara ๐
well i don't agree that he earned that money, but keep in mind that in my post, i did not say he should pay reparations so please do not assign that to me
>>534962 ok? doesn't change what i said it's still money you aren't paying your employees money they earned but did not get paid

>>534969 either the boss runs the company which involves a lot of work or they hire someone to do it for them, if they are doing so well that they can afford it which requires lot of trust and risks and good brain on your head to recognise talent
at that point, the boss is essentially just a share holder, but with more shares to his name, though and not the boss anymore
well, im not gonna argue bc we all know we aren't gonna listen to each other
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
at any point in the hierarchial ladder of running a company, is thee *there isn't a position of "doesn't do anything" even if some positions work load is less hard work, it is usually smart work, that is completely different involving stress from pressure of keeping up the gears rolling and so on or having to make hard decisions like cutting costs or making risky moves
you can have your opinion over share holders and dividend "earnings", but companies as facilities, in a society with currency, wouldn't exist really
FormerRei@mobile
This is starting to remind me of sk complaining about his boss at the factory. And that she had all these meetings and he didn't understand why she could be stressed about them. In part because he fails to >>534978 It was at the pplace where you had to work making shit in that factory with all tge foreigners
But it is true, and I concede this point many corporational manager positions, ie. bosses aren't really required they are just fragments from the past way of doing things, that not all systems have managed to evolve past as they become more efficient through experience or research anyhow, even if someone does publish a study that says "mid level managers are useless and not required", it will take decades for that to actually spread into effect just due to slow movement and adaptibility of the machinery of such organisations
sk
Her meetings had like nothing to do with logistics though Unless you consider like, "how many more people can we get here and how many are showing up on a daily basis" logistics >>534984 No but I don't need to have been because it's not what her position was >>534985 Not really what the meetings were about for the most part either
Also coming back to that list of three the 1) "invest in company" can mean raise pay or give bonuses to workers making sure your workers, who yes DO produce the profit, are properly imbursed for their effort is key factor of a successful company. Cause otherwise, if there is an option to jump to another company, who pays better, why wouldn't they?
>>534969 can the workers each individually develop a supply chain and the manufacturing potential to produce their proportion of product by themselves without the platform created by investing in the production via a factory
chinese comics, or hmm manhua? has gotten a lot more attention recently
Anno
China's been pushing a lot into Japanese animation territory too. There's consistently a co-op anime series each season, a joint work between some Chinese and Japanese studio.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
also reading manga from a 50 inch tv screen is an experience especially when its resolution is stil lsame 1080
But anyhow manwha, manhua or thaistuff they add a new flavour to it, since while many stories the authors outside japan do might be similiar in setting and tropes used as ///
They add nice new flavour to stories, since they come from different cultures even if a manwha is in setting and tropes used identical to a manga, due to author being korean it becomes slightly different also many of them being webcomic,s it does allow them freedom to do whatever they want, with no publisher pressure or atleast no publisher pressure on the same level as the publicised manga in japan sometimes, just reading the same story, but made by say a chinaman is quite fresh, because of different art style.
Well yeah. I'm like water. Billions of years old Cmon tho that song is illuminating

I'm not sure if it does for me the same that it does for you. Would be nice to loop or transition between a bunch of similar stuff. I think that would work well for the kind of sound I like to have on hand to fill my head when I really need to focus in on something.

I need a more effective means of getting myself into "time to get to bed" mode. It's too easy to get distracted and let an hour or more slip behind me.
are you the type to feel sleepy from stimulants i'd be up all night if i didn't have caffeine or my adderall i take either of those and feel instantly sleepy been that way as a teenager too and would slam an energy drink and go to sleep
Anno
Coffee can make me feel drowsier than I was previously if I'm already a little tired. Don't think it does much if I'm wide-awake though, and it does eventually kick in and energize me, so it kind of leaves me with a window. I've also been drinking tea all night so there's probably already a bit of caffeine running through my blood anyway. Don't have any experience with adderall though.
my fiber works again yaaay it was all because the guy that installed the cable in the first place didn't bolt the box on the wall and at the source on the pole down so he had to replace the line and bolt those two boxes into place as intended because the cable got damaged from wind

maybe I am just ignorant Not just about uni in the states but people here too. I don't talk to them very much That sounds bizzare to me though. Why would you hold something over someone when you could just do better in school instead

that's kind of a jank question you can tell a lot about someone by what country they're from, or at least expectations of their culture and values probably mongolia
moon
depends a lot on the roles and whether i'm expected to provide the circumstances in which i'd feel comfortable providing ar different from those i'd feel comfortable being provided for and consequently caretaking i've got qualms about being properly appreciated in the latter role in some cultures it's a terrible feeling to be someone's household backbone and not be appreciated also a terrible feeling to be a dedicated, stressed provider for someone who doesn't appreciate it switzerland, mongolia, or singapore probably
>>535289 Mongolia wasn't an answer I was expecting, and it's not somewhere I know a whole lot about Those are some good points I wasn't really considering when asking the question
if i was younger and going for a first romance sort of thing, even though girls aren't usually my thing, i think an indonesian girl would be kind of nice indonesian youths are really interesting and a little bit juvenile but i'm not at that stage in my life for juvenile romance anymore being around people so full of life and enthusiasm just irritates me these days
now if we're considering time travel as a possibility, i'd probably say an early-80s japanese gal that was something special
Maria
>>535292 I really have to wonder if the 80s was actually great or if my view of the time period has just been skewed by anime and music videos
moon
it's less about any of it being great and more about the struggles of the time being struggles that are fun and immersive things which you could feel empassioned by no times were really great and things were always hard
FormerRei@mobile
>>535293 Everything I know suggests that the 80's were awesome. Aside from Thatcher, Reagan and the Cold War
the post-war boom was kind of easy, though not really great the 50s would have been a very comfortable and delusional time to live a generation of parents catered to by the boom raising their children to believe in values that were only temporary economically lots of opportunity was made i guess but the pressure wasn't there

I keep too many notebooks. I've been trying to find some pages of writing I did months back, but I can't find the one containing them. This almost makes me feel as if I didn't write them.
>>535333 that happens to me a lot i once left my window rolled down and it started raining and the four notebooks in my car full of important proofs got soaked i still wish i had them back
Anno
That's really unfortunate, yeah. I'm not really at risk often of losing stuff because I do a lot of re-writing. Second drafts and trying to squeeze out the best phrasing for a sentence and such. But it adds a complication some times of having like five drafts on hand and I don't remember which is the most recent one anymore. I should really date my handwritten stuff or something.
Anno
I should also probably start titling the stuff I keep in my Google Docs. Having to sift through dozens of "Untitled document" isn't really efficient.
Just a random thought, but ever realised that an execution by guillotine is quite hard to stop, in the term of "raid and rush the execution" you see in movies axman - just kill the dude hanging - cut the rope electric chair - prevent switch or cut power gas - open doors injections - preven doc from poking but guillotine anyone call pull the lever and the rope can even cut accidentally and then it is "whomp"
>>535443 yeah but imagine how cool and dramatic it'd be to block the guillotine with something while it falls
>>535445 Knock the whol guillotine over Dunno how though Really if you're gonna stop an execution doing it at the last moment is exactly the worst time to do it The guillotine is guarded and surrounded by a large crowd You wanna intercept and rescue while they're on their way to the execution location
>>535444 Yeah I was thinking could you throw or shoot the rails to stop it, but aside from jamming some log in the path, can't really think of anyway to do it when the execution is actually happening
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Also in terms of "stop the execution" the one at the end of first Pirates of the caribbean movie is damn solid >tosses sword for Jack to balance on
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
really over the top, but still plausible
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>535444 yeah, but the point is that it is damn hard to prevent it when it is happening elec chair and such modern ways too, as anybody can pull the switch for murder but there are ways to prevent said switch from working but with guillotine there is no other way to stop it, when the executed to be is strapped in, aside prevent anyone from releasing the blade
>>535444 I think if death penalty is allowed, it should be done in a brutal fashion and possibly publicly so people actually are aware of it happening no injections or such, hanging or guillotine

cause that is what death penalty is the ultimate punishment the ultimate threat "this will happen to you if you break the law" well not the law, but well if you kill
so make it real make it always a moment that people can't hide from something that will be each time in public conscience
cause if people aren't aware that there are people killed by the state, which in democracy then in turn is in their name, then why have it in the first place?
Maria
Now that you mention it, I think if a state has a death penalty then it should occur in the open so people have to reckon with the true consequences of it If it just happens in some closed off prison area, if it's just something people read about in the newspaper, then they aren't truly being forced to reckon with it. If the citizens support such a thing I don't think they have the right to hide from the consequences of their actions
>>535455 If I could amend the start of this post I'd change it to something like "if you're going to support public executions, you could argue that" I don't think they should be public I don't think they should exist either
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and here is also a thing a representative of the government, if not a member no a member shoul dalways be present if not even the executioner
once more, neither of us thinks death penalty in the first place is a good idea so if you are going to implement a bad idea why not go the full complete way? if you practice barbarism, why not be barbaric fully?
if it were up to me, then the head of state/government should always be the executioner if you are going to order people to die, then do it yourself
moon
executioners historically have held a lot of dedication to their trade there's a lot of knowledge that goes into making sure that a hung man dies from the neck being snapped and not from strangulation over six minutes a lot of mathematical and technical expertise i would personally not want the oppressive authority under whose judgment i have been condemned to also be the one ensuring the swiftness and accuracy if my execution
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and also been shunned by society because of it
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>535458 this is why I'd support always using a guillotine quick and brutal
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and the guy who releases the blade only needs to pull a lever
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
an expert could make sure the guillotine is functioning as it does, without actually ever staining their own hands and thus the role of the executioner could be moved to the people in charge of the state, that enables and supports death penalty see if it is so "a good thing to have" when you yourself have to do it
moon
>>535453 that's social terrorism type stuff though public lynchings to instill fear and to fall in line with a dangerous regime that's a really bad idea and comparing having the death sentence to that is really dismissive imo
Maria
>>535463 yeah my reasoning only really works in a context where society as a whole is in agreement and the government functions completely fairly What your saying is completely right, that's what would likely happen My reasoning isn't "we need to scare people into following the regime" (which is what it would get used for anyway) but that if the penalty is supported then people should understand what it entails Like the difference in signing a piece of paper ordering someone to die and being there to witness it. One is more detatched from the reality of what's happening
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
darker parts of society shouldn't be shied away from, but acknowledged otherwise you will end up with the "we didn't know this was happening" situation
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is the kind of thing like secret cabinet meetings where the attendees go "if the public knew about this we'd be toast" and then you have to wonder, why do you do it in the first place?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
should everything be public knowledge, ofc not are those kinds of meetings required at times, of course they are
kinda like how japan hanged that terrorist from years ago just the other week and quite many went "oh right japan actually has death penalty"
moon
>>535464 yeah but executions are kind of a personal thing and the people that are there are there for closure and stuff having it be public and demonstrative is kinda dumping all over that is it worth stompin all over that just so people witness what they're supporting
>>535468 No. There are many reasons why they shouldn't be public Saying this directly contradicts my previous statement "I think if a state has a death penalty it should occur in the open". Because it was a bad statement
>>535468 How are people chosen to view executions anyhow? in the US that is
I don't say it should be public square or televised , but I do think there should be a possibility to view executions. Maybe not live or immediately, but atleast past ones.
moon
>>535470 i'm not sure how public it is i say public in previous posts in terms of actually doing it in a public space i think it's somewhat public now? i'm not sure family, victim's family, related parties of the judicial process i think can go it might be up to the prisoner, or the prison. i dont even know im just thinking of
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I'd guess it is like trials in general, unless closed specifically, they are open for the public, but ofc some are harder to get in just due to the fame and size of the trial.
and yeah, while on paper "public square executions" might sound like a way to remind people of the consequences of their actions and hammer it ins what they truly support, when they support death penalty, but in the end once taken out of writing, it will just become a tool of oppression.
moon
of what sounds plausible*
i would guess that the prisoner could do some legal stuff to say "i don't want it open to the public" that doesn't sound right though more likely, "i don't // only those people on the list can be there" and obviously the victims families have the right to be there but often they dont go
FormerRei@mobile
There's new evidence in the Emmett Till case. That's the 1955 lynching of a black teenager who allegedly whistled at a white woman in Mississippi.
FormerRei@mobile
He was visiting from Chicago.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
quick ducking seems to say "not open, but accessible" as in victims and family can attend and press can attend so I guess invite/application
>>535474 Is weird to think that a so called first world western country, has had public lynchings in recent history
moon
>>535476 im not sure if press can be there the whole time they might be able to collect information and stuff, but might be asked to leave during the actual execution or it might be open to them too they definitely wouldn't be allowed to photograph or anything though
the big issue with public is that if any member of the public can come, there always will be someone who will come and be disrespectful or somebody who's going to be there for inappropriate reasons or protestors trying to leverage a point none of that stuff belongs with the execution, which is supposed to be about closure
FormerRei@mobile
>>535478 Well, to be fair Mississippi is anything but first world.
>>535479 I'd guess a "invite to victims" and "application to attend for anyone else" so they can either allow or not allow, depending on case, the presence of press/outsiders
>>535479 Mm, but the footage could be available on the internet or even if not, I just think that if death penalties are carried, they should be more publices about just to remind of people that 1) this is what the state does and you by proxy, if democracy 2) this is for the state side of things - that people are reminded that the ultimate punishment exists
moon
there might be like state-provided recordings it'd have legal purpose i imagine but letting third parties record is just perverse
FormerRei@mobile
>>535482 Footage is available sometimes I remember some making the news because the executions were botched and the prisoners died painfully.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>535483 yeah even if it was "open to public" I'd never allow recording devices
FormerRei@mobile
The chemicals they are supposed to use aren't produced anymore I think.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the lethal injection isn't as painless as it is suposed to be anyhow I still say "off with the head" it is quickest way and brutal way of doing the brutal deed
moon
>>535482 this is going to be one of those things where it would just be a never-ending debate so with that in mind i'd like to say that i dont feel either of those things are what the death penalty is about or what purpose would be for recording
to wrap it up, I do however, hypocritically some might say, do approve of death penalty during crisis situations, especially war
moon
>>535484 before moving out of missouri, i was living very close to a penitentiary that still had a gas chamber as a possible method of execution ofc nobody uses it, but it is part of the facility if anybody opted for it they could have it >>535493 i might be wrong that it was the nearby penitentiary but i know there are still some that exist i'm not sure what the cases are that would constitute its usage and maybe it isn't still a legal option and it was just a facility that had a vestigial one the more i think about it the less accurate my recall i think my first recall might have been wrong ima look
FormerRei@mobile
>>535492 Wait really? Like its available if the prisoner requests it? I didn't know they let them pick that one. Do you know if death by firing squad is still an option?
moon
>Five execution methods are legal in various places in the United States: injection, electrocution, gas, firing squad and hanging.
that was easy to look up
FormerRei@mobile
Nito I guess people just don't pick the chair or firing squad anymore. I think there hasn't been a hanging recently either.
Cleaning my room over time is a habit I never developed But I'm gonna make an effort from now on to
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is fun how it is actually quite easy to keep it tidy, since it only takes little, but continuous work while letting it go into disaster takes no effort, but lots of to clean
If nothing else I can see my floor now And I got rid of most of my empty booze bottles
I got a massive anxiety thing that happened while I was cleaning cause my dad was helping so once he was gone for a short while I pt a bunch of them in a bag and brought them downstairs Gonna throw them away in the weekend Even what was left is a lot
sk
Oh and it turns out that temporary blindness I get is migraine with 'aura' or whatever So that's nice to know
I think it's related to stress
moon
are you still takin sobril how long you been getting migraines
I don't take anything anymore, no I've never had a migraine in my life besides the temporary blindness It's a painless kind of migraine
sk
But the blindness isn't like, commonly happening, it's seemingly random Today is like the... 6th time, ever?
moon
has anything been different you don't have to answer my questions if it's not a big deal pathology is just my thing kind of so i inquire a lot
sk
Not really? The tidying up thing has me a bit stressed out but beyond that, nothing really
moon
do you generally use flux when computering
sk
Yeah Well, lightbulb, but it's the same thing except free
moon
flux has always been free ocular migraines are tricky because it can be direct or a secondary effect e.g. directly related to ocular activity or a result of some other electrical propagation that's interfering or secondary in a different respect regarding bloodflow and pushing normal activities into threshold territory
sk
I doubt it's related to the computer anyway Today and the time whe it was the worst, I'd barely even touched the computer that day
Like I've basically been on this thing 2 hours total today, except after I was done
moon
can you describe the temporary blindness is it sudden onset and short lasting kind of thing is it just spots or the whole vision field
i have a little doubt that stress is the likely culprit because you're no stranger to stress and anxiety and haven't had the problem before it might be a contributing factor but i imagine there's something different pushing it past the threshold by threshold i mean resolvable action potential there's either non-ocular signals unresolved that make their way to the cortex for processing and it's interfering with a region that's normally exclusive for ocular activity so it's causing misinformation, or there's some special ocular activity going on that is causing it, or there's something else rendering normal ocular activity to be above threshold because of physiological factors
e.g. have you been consuming a lot of sugars lately in comparison to normal
sk
I guess I dunno, though
sk
Not really i haven't really been doing much different When I talked to the doc about it long ago, he had no real idea what causes it
it's not particularly a rare thing so it's not like it's a huge deal that has to be sorted out i've lived my whole life with visual disturbances, migraines, and related effects it's just curiosity is all i guess
i know that eating red meats or garlic are huge triggers for me, as is abrupt changes in temperature or air pressure, or long-term subconscious stressors like living environments that make me uncomfortable none of which matters anymore though because i take lorazepam and it shuts migraines down completely that's why i was askin about sobril if you were getting them while on that it'd be a little strange
the visual field is cheating it has direct access to the most important parts of the brain whatever you feel, whatever your experiences are that take days or weeks of processing to elevate their way up just get interrupted by visual stimuli to say "HEY. HEY MAN LOOK AT THIS DOOR. THIS DOOR IS RED HAHA ISNT THAT COOL. WHERES THE DOORKNOB? OH THERES A KNOCKER TOO LETS KNOCK ON IT" fuck off ocular brain im busy
sk
really the worst part was having to walk across a parking lot while my right side vision was in the dead zone
i have an inkling of a feeling that the reason static visual art like paintings and sculptures are so valued is because it's something static to stare at so the rest of your brain can process in a less obstructed fashion and that movies and such are often valued for the opposite reason, that it overrides all your brain's processings to flood the gates with easier to process stimuli i really don't like vision all that much there are things i really love visually but they tend to be the most static of things if i didn't have to see in order to edit for my work i would probably just wear an eye mask while working
Fuck job hunts I hate them I hate writing cover letters It sucks

There's so many meticulous details that need to be specified. Like supervisors? I'm not going to remember the names of my supervisors from jobs five years back. And I don't have references. I don't have phone numbers you can call to affirm my competency. It's ridiculously exhausting in the least satisfying way.

I have Expectations of Planet With. Mizukami is writing the script to it and that guy fucking delivers. I enjoyed episode one of Banana Fish but I'd like to see more of how it all comes together.
yeh though of ongoing yuri series, bloom into you is best currently
Anno
been liking that a lot too, but of course it's also too slow to release for my tastes also they ended with such a cliffhanger in chapter 32 and then chapter 33 is about something else entirely! though it was quite cute too
Anno
are you following Nettaigyo wa Yuki ni Kogareru as well? it has a few chapter out
i sure wish it were like the 1950s-1970s and i could just be a housemate and keep things orderly it's not enough anymore now you have to have a career and be a full time homecare specialist and then you have to work extra hours to afford to pay someone else to take care of your kids it's sad

that's what I should do too honestly, but I can't stop myself from reading the newest chapter
they bore me at this point especially stdent teacher

'sides good chunk of them nowadays are essentially pedophilia mangas, with the other mc being more and more oft a middleschooler now than a high schooler

yeah there's no way the girl is a high schooler kinda messed up if you say it like that
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
recently there is a manga where a 20 something neet otaku stalks and creeps on imoto's class mate who is an elementary schooler real creep manga and despite it having a female mc it doesn't change the fact what it is
Anno
that sounds even more fucked up with the rain one the student at least initiated
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
maybe if it was actually written tongue in cheek with comedy in mind, it could work but it most definitely isn't
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
sometimes you pretty much have "normal" manga going around, but the mc just has been turned into a girl, to make it possible to publish it in some yuri magazine those are usually quite crap
Anno
I'm glad I never ran into that manga , haven't seen it on /u/ either which is where I get most of my reading material from

yuri manga from china, korea and thai that pop up recently are at times fun

japan doesn't really make a distinction, but to summarize shoujo ai is cute girls doing cute things with each other while yuri is outright girls loving girls

Anno
Some times the letters are more of a formality or intimidation attempt. I mean if you're actually doing something like ripping copyrighted or licensed content and providing it for free somewhere, that's one story. But if you're downloading the content and they send you a DMCA letter, in some countries they can't actually do shit beyond just sending you the letter. Like I know that here in Canada you can't actually get fined from those letters. They'll send them to you all they want telling you to stop pirating the content, but you can essentially just disregard them entirely.
ToN
doot

>>535736 >>535735 oh it's good they can't actually do anything Let them send their insignificant letters
ctoacwn
>>535736 >>535738 Funny how this happened with a fucking 12 year old game of all things, I guess blizzard really is spergy about protecting their properties. >>535741 I guess that's true, but I don't think they're going to be releasing them for a while
Anno
To be fair, WoW is still ridiculously hot content for Blizzard. Even with classic editions of the game, there's evidently extreme interest, and therefore monetary loss on Blizzard's behalf, if they let people freely download and host/play on private servers. Especially with the upcoming rollout of classic servers.
I'm really on the fence regarding intellectual property defense like this. On one hand, I support the capacity for owners of IP to protect their work from being provided in a manner they can't be compensated from. To not allow Blizzard to protect it, but say "oh yeah but smaller developers and those with less financial stability should be able to" is kind of discriminate. But I also know a lot of people wouldn't be buying and playing these games if there was a manner of restricting them without paying. So I dunno. I like that these copyright letters can be thrown out, but I also figure it's kind of a sub-optimal solution.
Maria
>>535739 don't they have official classic servers? They're probably worried about people using WoW classic as a substitute for paying for the real thing
Anno
Of course the bleak outlook take on this is that only big companies like Blizzard can afford the legal staff to hunt down people downloading illicit copies of their work so it's not like smaller developers can really in the first place anyway.
Anno
Anyway I'm glad your DMCA isn't a big deal. I know they can actually be punishable in some parts of the world.
ctoacwn
>>535740 You do make a good point, especially how Blizzard is about to re-release vanilla servers, but if this were like a year or so ago, I'd honestly just say to hell with Blizzard since for a long time they were being very stubborn about not releasing/letting people play the vanilla game. Also, Blizzard is just kind of a shit company in general that I'd rather not give money to. >>535743 Yeah, on the letter I was asked to confirm that I received it by logging in to the account but I've been having trouble doing so, so hopefully I won't get in actual trouble if I don't (which I very much doubt) also, my mom saw the letter first and got upset at me lol
Anno
Yeah, I still live with my folks, so any contact we have with our ISP tends to go through my dad. I couple -A couple years back I got a letter telling me to not download thie anime Maria the Virgin Witch. He was pretty nonplussed since he's pretty net-savvy, but I figure it was more the title which set off red flags in his head than anything, hah hah.
moon
>>535736 it's just record keeping kind of stuff it's one of those things where, if they ever actually needed to legally prove right to terminate your contract or content owners wanted to litigate on a DMCA, they said "yeah we sent out the letters so they definitely knew it was happening" just downward liability stuff
Maria
>>535745 I watched the first episode of that show and thought it was pretty cool. Was the rest good? I don't hear about people getting letters for anime very often. Do you know if the letter was sent out by the production company for the anime or was it a lisencee like Crunchy Roll?
This electrical storm pretty much sums up the last month of my existence
Anno
>>535746 Yeah, I know. The companies that send out the DMCA letters do so across nationalities so it makes sense that in some places you can just disregard them out of hand. I mean it also works as an intimidation factor for some people, so considering the effort of sending out a formulaic letter, it's pretty minimal effort for what it can potentially do.
>>535747 It was the licensed company, I believe. After all if you don't hold the rights to a product you can't really properly accuse someone of depriving you of potential compensation for it.
It was a nice anime though. The whole thing was a self-contained story and the art was pretty clean. A little deus ex machina but hey, in a series that literally has Abrahamic angels, I'll accept a bit of holy interference.

im doing legal documents and this attorney is asking "Why do you think he was holding the phone in his left hand?" and i can't figure out whether the intended question is supposed to be why the witness thinks that, or is asking them to opine on reasons why the person might have a phone in their left hand it's not even important but that hasn't left my mind and it's causing me existential stress
moon
bump
Anno
Without knowing the full context, is it re-affirmimg the witness' belief that this person was holding the phone in the left hand?
I'm pretty sure it's just one of those court things where they're trying to prompt you to recount the event or establish some credibility to your recollection but it bothers me that such a simply stated question has so many possible ways of being received and answered i would probably be a really troublesome witness if i was ever on trial so many of the questions are implicit too, like "Do you recall during X's testimony that he said you did Y thing on the night of January 12th?" and then the witnesses will respond like, "no, I never did Y" that wasn't the question but nobody stops it because it was implied to be the question anyway
i like when there's really sharp people on examination that pay attention to that stuff and are stubborn when the attorneys are trying to do something weasely (aka always)
i really like doin these though as opposed to market research that was kind of fun for a younger version of my brain, but there's so much more information to probe here just the lexical difference between defense attorney and prosecution during cross-exam, you see so much of how they think differently one hearing obviously isn't enough, but that's what makes each next assignment that much more engaging because you've got something to compare data with now not v useful on direct exam though since those are all pretty pre-arranged
