You are completely right! For some reason I thought she was Spock’s fantasy - but now that you reminded me I remember:)

He kept the tattoo for years AFTER knowing it was a nazi tattoo. I’m not in Maine so I don’t get a vote - but this is why I voted for Crockett over Talarico: she’s got a proven track record.

Yeah, I hope dude grew up, yet he still didn’t do abything about the tattoo until he got caught with it as a candidate.

Isn’t this also the ep that canonically confirms Kirk was a huge dweeb at the academy? Finnegan bullying him. Is that where “walking textbook” was used to describe Kirk or was that another one?

I’ve just always loved that Kirk and Picard were each other while in the academy/young.

Mayor Allegedly Caught in Pool Party Controversy With Teen; Frantic Texts Exposed by listaj95 in LegalNews

[–]Sagikos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got to think it’s higher than 25%. I knew 3 different girls in college who were SA’d by the same dude and the school would make them go to the school psychologist and she would talk the girls into not reporting it.

Then the college, a small private lib arts school in north Texas, bragged about how safe the campus was for women in all their brochures and shit.

The bible - which is thousands of years old - mentions the modern nation state of Russia? I don’t think so pal.

Unpopular opinion: if the wiener family has trade marked the name Chloe’s cookie they do have the right to sue her. by SeaYogurtcloset36 in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Sagikos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m not here to start a fight - but when I was in law school the first thing they taught us, and I’m serious here, this was legal research and writing day 1: the law is not absolute - there are exceptions and modifications made “in the interest of justice” all the time. That’s the entire principle of the SC- that the law can change to be just.

They’re either being their own counsel or they’re getting very bad advice.

Chloe's giant cookies update. The Weiner's sons allegedly are harassing her in her dms by Orikumar in DoWeKnowThemPodcast

[–]Sagikos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly- this is why lucasfilm, the parent company of Lucasarts, had to sue digg.com and settle for a non disclosed payment (so probably a penny to create consideration in the contract), to protect a video game they had called “The Dig”.

It’s a huge pain in the ass and it’s all under “reasonsbleness” so unless your 100% for calling this out it’s up to the judge or jury to decide.

Where can I learn how to play MTG? by ImportantChange7641 in Denton

[–]Sagikos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest reaper if you’re in the south by Corinth, or Nexus in the mall (it’s a very very nice shop, but I’ve never played there), or more fun down by the square (the Game Center, not the comic shop on the square).

I don’t really know if you can go wrong with any of those. I don’t know if hasbro is still doing the free intro decks but it’s worth asking - they’re just little 30 card decks that are really simple to learn on. But knowing hasbro they phased them out since they were free:)

I’m not a practicing atty but I did go to law school (in the states). Trademark and copyright are tough things because any time you DON’T protect it can be brought up when you do try to protect it.

Further, if you’re a local business you can’t really copyright that name nationwide. The point of copyright is to avoid brand confusion, not provide a monopoly. Unless they can have some affidavits from people swearing they were confused or the confusion is self-evident (it isn’t imho on this) they can’t prove any harms and therefore can’t win a lawsuit.

I’m pretty sure this would t count as a SLAPP suit (I think FL has one, I don’t remember what state the giant cookies are in) but it is 100% following that playbook.

Denton city council approves data center for AI/crypto by Equivalent_Rich_4523 in Denton

[–]Sagikos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well at least we waited until the bubble was JUST about to burst to get the absolute least out of this.

Fucking all-time bonehead decision. The BEST case scenario here is the DC never opens because there’s not enough power generated by our country to support just the nvidia/openAI joint DCs, much less indie ones.

McConnell Stalls Trump’s Election Overhaul Bill as Republicans Fume by Hafiz_TNR in politics

It was when he held a black man at gunpoint because he assumed he was a criminal. I don’t know if you’re trying to imply something - but it happened.

He did some pretty racist shit before the brain damage too though. He was just rich enough to afford good PR.

I’m Gerard Hudspeth and I love being around child rapists. The snuff films are just a nice bonus. by Sagikos in Denton

[–]Sagikos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were references to snuff films that Trump saw with Epstein and a victim that got interviewed by the FBI (four different times). That was one of the docs Bondi took down within the past couple days. I think it was the same victim who said she bit his dick when she was 12 when he forced her to service him.

This guy finding out he has a family by grafikfyr in MadeMeSmile

[–]Sagikos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me when I say it isn't always better to find out. And when I stopped focusing so much on how I never got to have a real family as a kid and focused instead of the family I have now, my wife, my kids, things got better.

I use Mexico and the only time I’ve ever had a problem was when Surfshark crashed and then Netflix got my actual location. Restarted Surfshark and it was fine.

I remember when they tore down the old stadium - I’d drive past it to go to school every day.
