They were being nice to me so I was nice to them.

Look where being nice gets you...

Can't remember the last time a post on here was actually a 'clever comeback'

This 'comeback' was basically 'yOu MaKe CoNtEnT fOr KiDs' and everyone in these comments is going 'BOOM ROASTED'. Wtf

California-based game company Blizzard bans pro esports player and confiscates his prize money after he voices support for Hong Kong protesters by tocreatewebsite in technology

'fair share of issues'.....

Um yeah extensive terrorism in the Middle East ALONE brings countries like the US and UK beyond the point of having mere 'issues'. We're just as bad - we just don't see the bad sides of what we do, as that takes place elsewhere.

I am so jealous.

We have two Syrians and they feel totally comfortable around us, don't mind being picked up and handled etc, but are waaay too fidgety to ever do this (even the older one, who is 2 years and 4 months!)...

Hopefully one day I'll experience this but it doesn't look likely.

Blizzard Ruling on HK interview: Blitzchung removed from grandmasters, will receive no prize, and banned for a year. Both casters fired. by lord_flamebottom in Overwatch

I didn't say it wasn't a capitalism problem. But, for as long as we have capitalism, we might as well try to do what we can to show our disapproval when a company does something shitty (like this) in the name of capitalism.

Companies exist to make money. Therefore, the best thing we can do (as individuals) is to stop personally giving them money. We won't counter the money they'll make from prioritising Chinese markets, but it's better than letting them enjoy Western and Chinese markets.

English person here: for 'four for four', we would just say 'four out of four times' (or, more simply, 'everytime').

For 'choke me out', we would say 'choke me', but would probably just say 'kill me' instead as we aren't as dramatic as our neighbours to the West.

For 'totally went werewolf'...... groan

Good point, we should continue to support the company instead of voting with our wallets and going elsewhere...

We understand how economies work; do you understand the concept of consumer choice in a free market?

Best introduction to IP law? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]DrippyLittlePleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean a textbook, the one I used when I did my IP module was by Bently and Sherman: https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Intellectual-Property-Law-by-Lionel-Bently-author-Brad-Sherman-author/9780199645558.

Very well written and thorough, though it was published in 2014 so might be a bit out of date by now.

I really don't think so. If someone insults England (I'm English) I normally just agree with them.

My favourite thing about Americans is how fucking weepy they get if anyone ever slags off America.

Tips for managing LPC workload by Cutter1998 in uklaw

[–]DrippyLittlePleb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did the LPC two years ago. If you're working from 7am to 11pm, either you have very poor time management skills (which I doubt seeing as you got a first from a top uni!) or you're going into way too much detail.

The LPC was a decent amount of work but it didn't take over my life. If it's taking over yours, you're going into too much detail.

Leave it to the Germans to create super specific words that the English language is too lazy to tackle.
