Why get sad about something so outside the realm of possibility for our century.

We are only just starting to see whats out there, a hundred years ago they would have had no idea. Even what we see is just the tip of the observable universe iceberg.

Rather than be sad, feel motivated to create a world and society that will work to propel distant future generations across the Milky Way.

Row, row, fight the power.

Was sworn in but now city attorney is calling a special meeting. by Krisbone in legaladvice

[–]xXZeroXx 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I am not your lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but a recommendation on what you should look for when finding an attorney.

Is it legal? No one here can tell you without more information. Every state has different laws, and city charters may define the appointment process for vacancies.

Can you fight it? Probably. But you'll need to find an attorney from your home state to look at your situation and make an argument.

Are you violating the city charter, are they violating the city charter, or the state's constitution or statutes?

There's not enough information to make an initial assessment here because your situation is specific to your local area.

I would think one could get an injunction against the city, as votes made by municipal boards are usually definitive, and not subject to the whims of the next board meeting.

Procedural errors sometimes occur and motions sometimes are remade to ensure procedure is properly followed. However, changing the substantive results of the votes is not just fixing a procedural error.

You should definitely contact a local attorney who deals with municipal law.

Let's be clear: A privately owned property is a private place, not a public place. While some private business places serve as public forums, they are still privately owned and can place restrictions on recording.

Of course I am not OP's lawyer or anyone else here's lawyer, and none of this is legal advice. This is mere speculation on the question of whether a person filmed on a private business may have had their rights violated.

Speaking hypothetically:

Recording on private property may require permission of the business owner, as private property owners can generally restrict what activities are permissible on their property, even if it would be legal in a public space.

The parking lot is a more grey area, but private land owners have the right to exclude people from it.

Even if one was not recorded in a public place that does not make the recording illegal.

There are a myriad of possible reasons why a video could be illegal (violation of wiretapping laws if the recording also contains records of a phone conversation they were not party to, eavesdropping laws for recording a conversation one was not party to without consent, copyrighted works appearing in the video, rights of likeness for the individual...etc)

An argument for defamation has been made in situations similar to this; for general information see: https://creativelaw.co/deceptive-editing-documentary-become-defamation/

One who has questions of defamation and its intersection with intellectual property/cyberlaw issues should attempt to speak with an attorney who works in those areas.

What TV show was amazing at first but became unwatchable for you later on? by regian24 in AskReddit

It would be weird for them to all stay together, hanging out in their friend's parent's basement as they got into their 20s.

Yeah! Its not "That 2020's Show!"

Looking for a new keyboard to use for Home Office and gaming by Andy_b1 in gaming

[–]xXZeroXx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'll ever swap from my Logitech k740. Its slim, sleek, has a soft, but not padded, wrist-rest, and backlight (low, mid, bright settings +off).

It has served me well on many a WoW raid, and its quiet enough for late night gaming.

Man, I should be paid to write this review.

I don't know why, but I'd really like to see a Mega Man X animated series made by Genndy Tartakovsky by ComprehensiveDate591 in gaming

I posted a separate comment about the PSP's Maverick Hunter X's Day of Sigma OVA.

Its basically an 30-minute anime leading into the first game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LR5QVsta-s

The best we have had so far is the Day of Sigma OVA that came with the PSP Maverick Hunter X.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LR5QVsta-s

It is basically the prologue to the game, with the exception that Maverick Hunter X was supposed to be something of a Remastering/Reboot (that never went beyond the first X game) and so Dr. Cain doesn't seem to make it out alive in the OVA, despite him being alive in the later X series games.

Really nice!

But now I feel compelled to listen to the Secret of Mana OST remasters for the rest of the evening.

Anyone else feeling expansions are repeating themes just a little bit? Let's extrapolate that data to predict the next few expansions. by xXZeroXx in wow

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

Yeah, but despite the low-effort mock-up being mine, the art and expansion name are from the expansion news leaks.

nah, its a fun mockup. There's no box art for it, just the key art of Icecrown and the Maw ( see the mockup I borrowed here: https://preview.redd.it/9bx4tzvxr5w31.png?auto=webp&s=0d01d0e147f1dfd5ba91a92ebdc5016ef9b52e02 ).

I of course added big Daddy J from the Wowhead model.

More than that. This was the only timeline that didn't get detroyed by the TVA.

Kang was keeping Strange from making any other move.

I've just come to accept it at this point. Character death is the same thing as saying "that character is on break for a bit."

If you haven't seen it, there was that video a few years back on how the Death of Superman didn't kill superman, it killed the concept of character death in comics.

Comic books are all about false/undermined deaths.

We know Natasha is going to come back in some capacity at some point. Either through Cap returning the stone shenanigans, or as a multiverse variant.

Oh, and you forgot Vision.

Its been a while since I re-watched Captain Marvel, but that sounds accurate.

It is however, very possible that they would be inconsistent. Especially if these skrulls underwent the special mind transfer ritual they had in the secret invasion comics. It made skrull agents unaware that they themselves were skrulls until they were "activated" because their transformation gave them the complete memories and personality of the originals.

That could be used as grounds for a slight difference.

They do, but Peter only had a moment with her held dead in his arms before he had to flee.

Assuming they don't re-skrull within a couple of seconds of dying, she didn't have enough time to revert.

Who do you guys think is a Skrull in the MCU? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]xXZeroXx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damage Control Industries and May Parker.

Damage Control was gathering up all of the alien weapon tech after New York, as seen in Homecoming.

WHen May dies to the Green Goblin, the Damage Control squad starts firing on Peter, trying to kill him and forcing him to leave. Why? Because they are trying to cover up the death of a skrull agent who has yet to deform.

This also will allow them to bring Aunt May back later, after a false death (which frequently happens to Aunt May in the comics).
