    It doesn't work for creators or it wouldn't fuck so many of them over. If they lose more often then they win then there is clearly a problem and blaming it on the multitude of artists instead of the people taking advantage of it is some bullshit. Period. 

    This is the complete opposite of the specific case you're complaining about though.

    Ariana Grande didn't create the photograph, therefore she doesn't have rights to it unless she gets them from the creator.  That's kind of the baseline.

    Ugh. Was at Home Depot and I told one of the guys there I was looking for some caulk. He misheard me, and there was an awkward exchange. 

    One time I was at Target and for some reason a guy comes up and asks me if I know whether they sell roller blades.  I was like "maybe by the sports stuff?" and he goes "I guess I'll have to go look at Dick's.   I mean Sporting Goods, not--you know what I mean."

    You know how you have probably heard that George Soros is using his vast wealth to influence politics in America? I just found out his "Latino Media Network", run by Democrats, bought 18 of the few conservative radio media in Spanish. Bought probably the oldest conservative local radio station that I someones listen to while driving.

    Wait until you hear about Rupert Murdoch.

    You can't claim your opposition is "attacking democracy" and "lol trying to usher in fascism" while you're propping up their worst candidates so you can Floyd Mayweather your way to a hopefully easy win. Stuff like this is probably why people believe voting doesn't matter and why so many believe the 2020 wasn't legit.

    Trying to influence an election with some adds is not really comparable to trying to ignore elections, "find 11780 votes," or inciting violent attacks on elected officials.

    Generally an episode of TS would have the titular spies trying to stop whatever plan the bad guy was doing and one or more of the spies would be affected by something. Sounds innocent enough, but like Bruce Timm forcing Batman and Batgirl together, it is a common thought that the writers had a fascination with some of things the girls go through. 
     

    These would happen once a episode with a thing happening to one of the girls in that episode. Catgirls, brainwashing, weight gain, bondage, brainwashing, giant women, shrinking women, tentacles, and brainwashing. So much brainwashing.

     

     Some mad men decided to list every single thing that could be a fetish which I would put behind a spoiler. 
     

    Keep in mind, this is only the first three seasons.

    Never watched the show, but just reading this sounds like a lot of reaching (or projecting?).

    "They're wearing different clothes, that's probably somebody's fetish."

    The law frees from jail suspects accused of second-degree manslaughter, aggravated vehicular assault, third-degree assault, promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, promoting a sexual performance by a child, failure to register as a sex offender, making terroristic threats, criminally negligent homicide, and aggravated vehicular homicide, among other crimes

    This is some Willie Horton shit.

     

    The law specifies release without bail in general and then specifies certain offenses for which bail can still be required; these guys are hunting loop-holes, and I'm not even sure they're completely correct.

    4. Where the principal stands charged with a qualifying offense, the court, unless otherwise prohibited by law, may in its discretion release the principal pending trial on the principal's own recognizance or under non-monetary conditions, fix bail, or, where the defendant is charged with a qualifying offense which is a felony, the court may commit the principal to the custody of the sheriff. A principal stands charged with a qualifying offense for the purposes of this subdivision when he or she
     stands charged with:

    ...

    (i) facilitating a sexual performance by a child with a controlled substance or alcohol as defined in section 263.30 of the penal law, use of a child in a sexual performance as defined in section 263.05 of the penal law or luring a child as defined in subdivision one of section 120.70 of the penal law.

    Never mind the fact that bail is supposed to be about making sure a defendant shows up to trial, not about punishing them.  If you want the guy locked up because of a crime, give him a speedy trial.

    No, not in general. But some of the left politicians said they wouldn't take a vaccine that was produced under Trump. Because they're fucking idiots. Then they changed their tune after Biden won.

    Said they wouldn't trust it until the scientists said it worked.  Started taking it once it had provisional FDA approval, which was still while Trump was in office.
