Sure parody is a defence to copyright infringement. At the end of the day, it’s not my job to say it’s protected by parody. That’s your job as the Defendant. I only have to prove that you infringed onto my copyrights.
Even if it is clear parody, I can quietly withdraw or settle my claim against you to prevent others from even thinking about it. It’s why SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) legislation has to exist.
Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good....

Also could be a warhammer fantasy/40k situation where magic is kinda unstable and a good chunk of mages are batshit or kinda weak. Sure nobody would complain if Teclis or Malcador offer you healing but neither are insane or weak. Also the reason for that comparison is that I suspect the two are roughly comparible to eachother in their respective settings.
As a Bright Wizard, I take offense to this. I am not weak. My flames purify entire hordes of filthy rat men. Now, if you can excuse me. There is a horde of Northmen at the gate and my tea is getting cold.
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.
We’re going to through the “enshittification” as a society. There was the Great Recession, the DotCom Bust, the Great Inflation, etc.
What is going to matter, is can we use this “enshittification” to benefit society by increasing wages, encouraging social mobility, protecting and enshrining rights for marginalized communities, etc. Building a more inclusive society.
The game has such a gameplay loop, get items, survive, and then leave. What makes such a simple gameplay loop work is that game naturally generates moments, moments like having a teammate running out of the dark, screaming about monsters. A monster getting you while you wander through some steam.
I can see that, the main difference is the Hunt is PvPvE, Lethal Company is strictly PvE. A smaller difference is that Lethal Company has good dose of humour.
Such a weird coincidence, I am listening to the Apocalypse Players, A Christmas Inheritance and they referenced 2 Kings 2 23-24. Not even in an off hand manner, it’s key plot point in the story.
I agree, I was pretty pro-guillotine till that was pointed out to me. Redistribute their wealth and tell them where it’s all going too.
“Congratulations Jeff Bezos, you donated $1.3 billion to various labor organizations.” “Congratulations Richard Branson, you donated $1.21 billion to climate change initiatives.” “Congratulations Warren Buffet, you donated $1.14 billion to support low income people.”
Knowing where their money is going to support society in general will fucking kill them. Each of these shit bags all think that they are needed for civilization. Let’s watch them put that delusion to the test on an island penal colony that gets bombarded with artillery shells every once and awhile.
The newsletter means you are not behold to the almighty algorithm and have to pay money to a corporation to encourage your content to be promoted to followers.
This shit bag is many shit bags who hold power in the Israeli government. I present you, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir. Who wants to create their own militia:
In a further swipe against a previous attempt by Ben Gvir to form a national guard that would be independent from the police and answer directly to his ministry, Shabtai said: “I have fought and I will fight with all my strength to guarantee that any policing force will be subordinate to the Border Police and the Israel Police.”
The lawmaker, Itamar Ben Gvir, has long admired Meir Kahane, the late racist rabbi. Kahane’s violent anti-Arab ideology — which included calls to ban Jewish-Arab intermarriage and for the mass expulsion of Palestinians — was considered so repugnant that Israel banned him from parliament and the United States listed his party as a terrorist group. Kahane was assassinated by an Arab assailant in New York 32 years ago.
“I also worked in these halls through the genocides against the Tutsis, Bosnian Muslims, the Yazidi, and the Rohingya. In each case, when the dust settled on the horrors that had been perpetrated against defenseless civilian populations, it became painfully clear that we had failed in our duty to meet the imperatives of prevention of mass atrocities, of protection of the vulnerable, and of accountability for perpetrators. And so it has been with successive waves of murder and persecution against the Palestinians throughout the entire life of the U.N.,” he continued. “High commissioner, we are failing again.”
When Western Governments say “never again” after horrific genocides, what they really mean “We won’t let these happens when our geopolitical interests are at stake.”
I’m assuming you are talking about Redemption and not the first Bloodlines. In the first Bloodlines unless you were Malkavian all the Clans had generally had the same dialogues with minor variances were it made sense. IE Tremere talking to Strauss, Nosferatus having the initial conversations with people, etc.
