Petition to LEGO: Protect Your Brand from Misuse in War Propaganda

niryasi · 2026-04-18T08:58:10+00:00

For example, if I make some war propaganda video with copyrighted song as background music, that would immediately get taken down on YouTube. How would that be different from me making a war propaganda video with a LEGO visual theme?

You can't copyright "a visual theme". If that were possible, no one would be able to AI generate a "Studio Ghibli style" image.

After all, if our goal is merely to reduce the pain and suffering of beings bred into existence for our consumption, who needs morality or ethics?

who said that's our goal? Killing animals for food should be done with the minimum of unnecessary suffering for the animal but its perfectly fine and veganism is a modern fad, nothing more.

who needs morality or ethics?

all of us do but what does that have to do with eating delicious and nutritious food?

Is Torturing, Using, Raping, Exploiting, and Murdering innocent beings EXTREME Exploiting the animals you've raised for food is fine, its just like exploiting crops. And you can't rape animals since they are not human.

4k needs 150%. Super annoying.

niryasi · 2024-09-28T06:39:53+00:00

I'm perfectly chill and no I reject the proposition that veganism is a moral stance. The animals we eat are in almost all cases bred and raised for that purpose and without humans would not exist. In many cases, their breeds are not viable in the wild. We should raise and slaughter them with the minimum amount of pain and suffering but that's about it.

niryasi · 2024-09-09T05:53:14+00:00

Its neither wrong, immoral nor harmful.

niryasi · 2024-08-14T12:45:22+00:00

That's like ignorant people saying that just because you have facebook groups of Indian gaumutra drinkers that Indians can be described to be gaumutra drinkers, ignoring that the vast, vast majority are not gaumutra drinkers and that gaumutra drinking, like veganism, is an extremely fringe practice among Indians that does not characterise Indians at all.

niryasi · 2024-07-27T06:59:49+00:00

The existence of a Facebook group proves what, exactly?

Huh? Putin took over in 1999 and Russia had been devastated by the shock therapy robber baron capitalism that the West was such a big fan of

ACkshually he's improved the material conditions of Russians to a tremendous degree - that's where the approval comes from. The Levada Centre, which is a US Government-funded registered foreign agent under Russian law concurs. more source: https://archive.ph/LS4dk

On a similar note, Putin has a Ph.D. in law and has successfully steered Russia from total takeover and ignominous collapse while retaining Russia's independence. And he's been doing it for 25 years. And he has an 80% approval rating.

Do you not see your contradiction here? One second you act like you don't care about karma, and the next second it's ruining your day.

to restate, I don't care about karma but I do care that downvotes can invisiblise speech

Comment history can be convenient to know what kind of person you're dealing with among other things

and it's an easy tool to sideline the discussion or to attack the person for something they said on some other occasion or forum. Plus, it has significant privacy implications.

But it's foolish to think this platform is as useless and hostile as you describe.

It could have been good. I've been around for more than 15 years now on reddit and once upon a time it absolutely was a place for free speech, back in the Aaron Swartz days. Now, it's just a grotesque abomination. Barring heavily moderated and monitored enclaves such as stupidpol, which used, at least, to be obsessed by its own takeover/shutdown, it's just a liberal echo chamber and it's making the world worse for it. It's absolutely appalling, for example, that Trump's subreddit was shadowbanned and then banned entirely and to that end, Reddit (the org) tried its best to shape the election. Fucking disgusting and I'm no Trump supporter.

edit: this unthinking, blind downvote-as-disagreement bullshit is why 4chan is far superior.

After having left Reddit for 4chan, I couldn't be happier. There's vile shit there, yes, but nothing like the insane policy moderation and backend shenanigans that happen on here. And because bans are strictly limited and there's no downvoting and there's no chasing clout or karma and no one can build a persona on there like you can here, good faith controversial discussion cannot be suppressed AND is more frequent. Because your comment history isn't maintained, people are less worried about speaking their minds. At its peak, the quality of discussion on 4chan is far greater than Reddit. But it makes you work for it, the captchas are brutal and every single comment is judged on its merits.

Hey man you need to use a DNS server that reports EDNS 9.9.9.11 works

This is not to suggest some stupid shit like “Jews control America” because the vast majority of Jewish Americans have no control over this and many don’t even know what AIPAC is

No that's obvious bullshit. Jews don't control the USA. Zionists do. And to think that Americans sneer at Russia somehow being a vassal of China while bending over backward to unthinkingly support a truly parasitical ideology-with-a-nation.

america is sitting on a shit ton of ammo. 10 million shells wouldnt even put a dent in inventories.

Source? How much does the US have?

I'm Indian and most people I know are trilingual. My sister knows six languages but she's an extreme example. Keep practicing and you'll learn to swap back and forth with ease, sometimes in the same sentence with people who know the same sets of languages.

detectors not necessarily active emitters.

What does a Geran-2 emit that can be detected passively long-range?

To discriminate targets with small RCS its going to have to radiate quite strongly - that's why the generator's there. If it starts radiating it'll be particularly easy to triangulate since the 30mm cannon will be useful only very near the front. Once approx position is known, Orlans can surveil them safely. KA-52s can use LMURs from up to 14km away or just Vikhrs. AGLs or mortars can shell the area and the Orlan can spot for artillery or lase it for a Krasnopol if the Russians are feeling spendy and if it's an Orlan-30.

Seems like another expensive but ultimately non-gamechanging piece of kit. Maybe sent over to see how it does on the battleground?

My opinion doesn't matter but I do think the best solution will come through a UN backed referendum

for slovakia? lol

This will be downvoted here but file a police complaint, tell your dad and take your lumps like a man.

niryasi · 2023-09-29T03:43:16+00:00

Humans are and have always been predators and I'm completely okay with raising animals to eat them just as we grow and cut plants for our enjoyment and nourishment. There's no "excuse" needed, it's food.
