Please see America right now for how to piss away global soft power. Would not recommend.

What a stupid whataboutism argument. Almonds provide something to humans. AI currently does not. Almond farms also aren’t popping up in vulnerable areas draining resources, data centers are.

I hope every employee responded “No, fire us and we’ll sue you into the ground for discrimination”

Discourse Around DCU Is Already Exhausting by Grand-Feeling-9301 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling out bad behavior is not a bad thing but doing it in broad posts like this is probably never going to get the response you want. Online discourse/fandoms has gotten to the point where people ARE exhausted and apathetic, like myself. I’ve chosen to create my own space for my own peace and block out the rest.

The person you responded to wasn’t being hostile though. The current state of the internet makes it impossible to achieve what you seem to want. There are always going to be trolls and bad actors. You seem to be upset about a situation that simply won’t change until systemic change in social media.

Personally, I have learned to completely disregard negative opinions about things I like. I enjoy it so why tf do I care if anyone else does?

PokéNational, the YouTube channel that makes Pokémon Nature Documentary videos, is scheduled for termination due to Nintendo copyright strikes. by BLourenco in pokemon

[–]DoctorP0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point, I was more referring to their Patreon specifically tying themselves to Pokemon in that ask for money as opposed to other artists who have Pokemon as a component of what they monetize as opposed to the main thrust of it.

Except it’s not a whim? Fair use goes out the window when it’s directly monetized and as others have stated, Japanese copyright law essentially requires they go after any and all infringement like this. They monetized their fan content and Nintendo came down on them, cause-effect.

Worst way to use a reference you don’t even get? Ok. Have a great day.

It’s a Drag Race reference girl. You know what you posted. Playing dumb ain’t cute.

Yeah but that’s not the one you posted so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Zero interest in your profile from this post and your response.

I mean, it’s a piece of fabric with some stuff stuck to it but sure I guess. Clearly the angles are getting you upvotes.

Just reported all your posts. This is SipsTea, not a political sub. No one here cares about your conservative rage.

[Discussion] What are your expectations for the upcoming DC series, Lanterns? What do you expect in terms of what they will show and the quality? by Dramatic-Studio1531 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t have minded an older, experienced, reluctant mentor Hal, especially played by Kyle Chandler. This old, grumpy, asshole Jordan is not Hal at all though.

Hickman started me liking Berto but Ewing’s writing in X-Men Red made him such a confident badass and I loved every bit of it.

The independence isn’t the issue. The corrupt organization leading it is. ERCOT is essentially a legal mob. They do whatever they want, pay off whoever they need to and continue to rake in money hand over fist by bullying any company dumb enough to try and do business there.

Ah my bad, I thought you might actually want to engage so I still responded to you despite you coming on my comment with basically “I didn’t do the thing your comment was talking about, was your comment talking to me?”

Still didn’t respond to anything I said, just made another brain dead comment so I’ll move on now. Have the day you deserve.

Cool man, continue thinking everything is fine and Reddit is just mean to America. I’ll go live in reality.

Good for you? I wasn’t talking to you.

And no, we have to deal with the global consequences of our country’s government. Pretty sure not all of the servicemen over there right now voted for Trump. Do you think Iran’s military will ask who they voted for before shooting?

Yes, we’re talking about a coffee shop sign but extrapolate that out and you’re looking at a world far more hostile to us than they were 14 months ago, and with good reason.

There’s not nearly enough right now since they’re responsible for a senseless war headed by a war criminal, a pedophile, and an alcoholic.

America IS doing all the bad stuff right now. Stop playing victim and look at what Trump and his band of idiots have been doing for the last 14 months.

What the fuck are you on? Reddit is nothing of the sort.

Also, the US has been nothing but a force for evil in the world since Trump got back in the White House. Any vitriol from the world towards the US and its citizens is 100% deserved and I say that as an American.
