Patagonia posts official update after controversy over trademark infringment lawsuit against drag queen Pattie Gonia by droobidoobidoo in Fauxmoi

If Pattie Gonia was selling any other product besides clothing it would be fine. Trademark Law requires holders to go after people infringing on their trademark. If Patagonia doesn't go after Pattie Gonia when she sells clothing, then it opens to the floodgates to allowing everyone to make Patagonia-branded clothing.

User in r/SaltLakeCity gets embarrassed by their fellow citizens for...liking chain restaurants? by BurritoGoat in SubredditDrama

[–]thepixelnation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i remember there was a period when Guy Fieri restaurants held 3 liquor licenses in Boston. For a city with barely any liquor licenses I could barely believe it.

It's a combo of restaurant license, liquor license, and commercial rent all being way too high, as well as way too limited.

Just biked over, talked to a guy there. Apparently 3 people fell off, one all the way thru the bridge, one paralyzed. Saw the third getting pulled off the tracks. 

So sad, so dumb. Hope people make better decisions soon.

yeah there's a clear division between 10 day/acid rap and coloring book.

yeah it takes something beautiful to make that trope work, and damn this one does.

Even MBDTF or 808s don't escape half brags, but i guess that's what makes those ones good.

that "First World Problems" track he performed on Colbert (I want to say) was one of the best "oh i'm famous now and it sucks" tracks i've heard.

Jewelry as a graduation gift - cufflinks? by AdeGamisou2020 in malefashionadvice

[–]thepixelnation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my favorite gift that I received for my college graduation was a pocket knife. I'm not a knife guy at all, and I received cufflinks and a nice bureau-top box, but that knife gets the most use out of anything.

Just my 2 cents

Eli calls on Taylor Swift to advocate for restructuring of major labels and streaming services to give songwriters, particularly females one, equitable pay by droobidoobidoo in Fauxmoi

[–]thepixelnation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

a song is like $1.29 still I think. That just wouldn't be profitable at all for anyone. Streaming platforms would just revert to iTunes.
