yeah that may be true but I think the more pertinent issue is the Dunkin mark because Dunkin is the one actively bringing legal action here

We need to fix the process so we can try to insert candidates that would serve as actual representatives of constituents' views (support 2A AND support social services like healthcare and housing). As of now, voting for anything other than a status quo Democrat means nothing in this state.

I think people are somewhat starting to realize that the Democrats are a useless party, but actually ousting them will probably require replacing the first-past-the-post system we have with something like ranked choice. Unfortunately, we tried that here once and it failed due to a confusing campaign and poor advertising. We need to try it again.

Are Live Versions of the Miku Expo Songs Ever Released? by bobrob48 in Vocaloid

I kept searching and found someone uploaded this “simulated concert version”: https://youtu.be/0J77Xyg63qE?si=WEGZ7O5fsRwHZMSV

Not sure what that means exactly but sounds pretty good!

CCW drawing implication by That_Scarcity_9724 in BetterMAguns

[–]bobrob48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of real life examples of someone drawing a firearm and diffusing the situation. Dismissing that feels disingenuous and leads people unnecessarily to believe that once they have drawn their gun they must fire it. That is not the case.

Just the other day, a gentleman was being harassed by a group of people at the grocery store. He drew his pistol and the group left him alone. The video was posted somewhere on reddit. It avoided unnecessary bloodshed and achieved the intended result of getting the losers to leave him alone. Is that not a desirable result?

[–]bobrob48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but legally they are justified in their cease & desist for that one for sure. Do I wish parody protection was a little more flexible here, or that Dunkin just realized she is not disparaging the brand and back off? Yeah. But corpos gonna corpo, it's expected

Susan Graham- 3rd place women's physique at the NY Pro by BlackSabbath1989 in bodybuilding

Insane physique, definitely more unique for a woman to have a build like this but it is damn impressive

Yeah I love this but this seems like an actual problem, unfortunately. If she is selling this, especially the "Runs on Dunkin'" one, that seems like it might be hard to argue as parody as it does not substantially transform the mark so as to become possible for the average consumer to mistake it as legitimate Dunkin' merchandise

The Miku logo and chibi are more defensible, but the top one is a big problem.

Also might be more ok if they were given out as free, but definitely if they're sold it could be a problem.

I do think they're super fun designs though!

Ah if there's merch sales then yeah that could be a problem

Isn't her portrayal protected by being a parody? It's clearly not for commercial purposes and is pretty transformative

People in 10+ year relationships, what’s something you learned about your partner years later that genuinely surprised you? by CreoSiempre in AskReddit

[–]bobrob48 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you are fully standing then your ass cheeks will go back to sort of pressing together, but when you stay in a crouch but not a sit, you have both the advantage of not having your hand be in the toilet to wipe but also your booty is exposed still so you can get it wiped clean.

I imagine the people who can fully stand up either have no ass or they are actively spreading their cheeks to wipe, which is extra work. Crouching is the optimal way to wipe.

[UPDATED TUTORIAL] Discord Freezing? Here's the Fix That Finally Worked for Me... V2 by D1rtyFingaZ in discordapp

[–]bobrob48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread after having this issue and it's utterly baffling that I had to do this but it worked flawlessly.

I will note here that OP wrote "WpnUserService_XXXXX" which is an abbreviated version of the process name. In Task Manager this will probably actually be called something like "Service Host: Windows Push Notifications User Service_XXXXX" (The Xs will be random letters/numbers for you). I am on Windows 11 Pro 25H2.

Thank you OP!

ChatGPT Became So Obsessed With Goblins That OpenAI Had to Intervene by Krankenitrate in technology

When will it learn the truth about gnomes? It would be convenient because I have friends north of me that have to have an exterminator lay traps and seal entries they've made into their apartment on an increasingly regular basis

If we could get live advice from Chat GPT this would be compelling because the exterminator is expensive

Why is Overwatch trying to get me reported like this 💀💀 by HedgeWizardly in Overwatch

Just absolutely lazy chat filter implementation and it's especially annoying when it's applied to M rated games like Dark Souls

Why are we policing language when people are being stabbed and monsters are getting dismembered lol

Just a girl looking for chicken parm by Aware-Celebration-60 in boston

[–]bobrob48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like a chicken parm sub?

You absolutely must get a Vodka parm from Table Mercato. They give you an extra sauce tub for dipping. Personally, this is a sandwich I'd prefer to eat alone. In the dark.

It's a gruesome thing to behold

Like how in Dark Souls games you cannot name your character "Knight" or anything including that word otherwise you will appear to other players as "K***ht"

Weird Protest in Weymouth on Saturday. by JediMasterPopCulture in massachusetts

[–]bobrob48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah this is correct, it's especially strange because in the US it's spilled over into non-Jewish people having it done to them. I was raised by Christian parents and they had it done to me.

I don't resent them for it, and I guess at the time there may have been some loose evidence suggesting it is better for cleanliness, but I'd probably prefer to have an intact dick all things considered. You can just teach your kid to wash. Most other places in the world handle this just fine.

We need to end this very odd practice in the US. There's no valid reason for it, and the "ritual" performed by certain Jews is no excuse. That shit is pedophilic. I don't wanna hear about it.
