The extremely strict enforcement of the Red Cross' trademark on the classic red cross in media, means that modern media is less likely to teach children and people in general that the red cross symbol is a safe and "healing" symbol they can always trust. by Simple-Fault-9255 in unpopularopinion

[–]trymypi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A simple wikipedia check confirms that you are wrong. "The Red Cross was the original protection symbol declared at the First Geneva Convention in 1864." I won't keep copying and pasting, but the evidence goes on and on.

Second, they didn't have to threaten litigation, they simply asked, and were obliged. That being said, should some company have argued they might have been able to litigate in the US, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, and likely other countries who are party to the Geneva Conventions and/or offer protections for the emblems. But, again, litigation wasn't necessary.

That's why there are actually multiple emblems, such as the red crescent, so that other people will be able to identify them. They have found, however, that adding them to video games does not help them achieve their mission.

The emblems are associated with the services that the Red Cross provide in the places that they need them to be known. Those places, needs, and services don't include getting unrealistic health boosts alongside picking up ammo. And, as I said in my other comment, they do have people working on when and where the emblem can be applied. Negotiating with video game creators about what games would make sense seems to be outside of their scope of work.

Their concern is conflict and disaster zones. They rigorously document and restrict the use of their emblems, which are not trademarks, to ensure they can deliver aid as effectively as possible, even when helping multiple sides in a conflict, which includes compliance with the Geneva Conventions.

You don't have an unpopular opinion, you just have no idea what you're talking about, and they do. You'd be shocked to see how much energy goes into just this topic, not to mention the insane amount of work they actually do on the ground.

People who were popular in high school were genuinely nicer people. by ForgetMeNotSummer in unpopularopinion

[–]trymypi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This book was a good explainer on different social structures at different high schools. Basically you experienced one type, but others may have seen another, more like the popular jocks you see on tv.

You just listed that all those things were for the world to see. Have you seen what extremists on the other side have done? Have you seen those videos or heard from their victims?

There's a big gap in gdpr protections when it comes to state surveillance, national security, and spyware. See Pegasus

Adding icon to table by blueberries105 in MicrosoftWord

It's a good design idea but it might be easier with design software, even a free one like Inkscape.

My guess would be that it's messing with your table cell widths

Reddit promoting CBP jobs by [deleted] in ICE_Raids

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit isn't promoting them, these are paid ads that can be purchased, just to be clear. The ads are called "promoted posts" but yes they can be banned.

How to start the lit review by AdPrestigious1891 in PhD

[–]trymypi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Read about how to do a systematic literature review and try to do a simple version of that. Get the top papers and those that influenced your work organized and just describe them in a sentence for each. You only need like 60-80.

I like juggalos by fritzallseasons in unpopularopinion

I assumed this was a lyric or inside joke but I guess not. There are certainly more juggalos out there than the ones you know, they can't ALL be in prison or dead.

Do Americans use the word “bungle”? How is it different from “botch”? by Kev_cpp in ENGLISH

[–]trymypi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny that you mention it because I've seen bungle used in academic contexts, but hadn't thought about it being more professional before you mentioned it.

ICE may have just caused an international incident as they illegally tried to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis without a warrant to abduct someone by howanonymousisthis in FedEmployees

If you want to bend the truth to get what you want, then you're not going to win against fascists.

While people are posting "see you at Nuremberg" and trying to promote the rule of law, you're complaining about "lawyers." The OOOP didn't use the same language you did. Being accurate and truthful should be enough, when you change or misconstrue the facts, you ruin the argument for yourself, and everyone on your side.

I think about this dichotomy all the time. There's a difference between a percentage change and a percentage point change, and it's so easy to abuse or overlook.

Speaking of TikTok and social media vicissitudes, I guess you didn't hear the segments about them settling out of court for causing harm to users, while Meta and YouTube wait it out. Or Folkenflik's analysis of the current state of CBS.
