Oh I totally think you’re right in applying Hanlon’s razor here. The opposite would spell doom.
But sometimes you’ve got to wonder how incompetent can they be. And at those times “they’re not babbling buffoons, it’s a clever ruse” seems a plausible explanation. I mean Trump parading his mistress on the campaign trail, what the actual fuck?
Or, and I know it’s going to sound like a conspiracy theory, Trump picked JD because JD is so weird, and he knew that JD would tank. So when Trump drops JD it’ll give him a boost, like the one the democrats got when Biden dropped out. Trump has repeatedly kept lowering people’s expectations, to the point that if he somehow managed to put the round peg in the round hole, it would be a success. So imagine the boost Trump would get, for making the obvious decision to drop JD.
But that plan requires that Trump is able to play the long game, and stay quiet about it. Two things we know isn’t plausible.
Oh yes, yes YES! Maybe we could do a casting call for unknown voluptuous clean shaven chesterfield couches?
Does bring a different meaning to the backroom casting couch concept.
No, who are you calling a weird timeline? this timeline is extremely solid. It’s a very solid timeline. When we’re talking these kinds of numbers, then we tax countries when they ship stuff here, and they will not like it, but we can see how solid the timeline is…
I feel like I should have left out all punctuation in that paragraph.
I’ve got another addition to my comment, but it does warrant more attention than an edit.
So I’ve found a Danish language interview on this topic, from earlier this year, so before the man in this story was arrested.
Generationsforskelle til trods lægger 57-årige Andrea Vagn Jensen og 23-årige Malaika Berenth Mosendane vægt på, at samtykket ryger, når klippene bliver taget ud af kontekst. Det samme fortæller Angela Bundalovic, der for nylig var aktuel i ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, til DR:
»Jeg oplever det som en krænkelse, at nogen bruger et klip eller billede af mig i en kontekst, jeg ikke er gået med til. For mig hersker der ingen tvivl om at der bliver begået noget forkert mod skuespillernes frihed og materialets ophavsretshavere«.
Translated by yours truly:
Generational differences aside 57yo Andrea Vagn Jensen and 23yo Malaika Berenth Mosendane emphasizes that the consent is lost when the clips are removed from their context. It’s the same for Angela Bundalovic, who recently appeared in ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, who tells DR [Danish national radio and TV]:
»I experience it as a violation, when someone uses a clip or still frame in a context, that I haven’t agreed to. In my mind there’s no doubt, that the freedom of the actors is being wronged as well as the copyright holders of the material«.
The police even has a statement on the matter which I suggest that you run through your preferred translation service https://politi.dk/national-enhed-for-saerlig-kriminalitet/nyhedsliste/39-aarig-anholdt-for-at-dele-noegenscener-fra-film/2024/09/03
Will the US respond? Yes! By reimbursing the ammunition used
I’m pretty sure she means molested as in abused or misused.
On a side note, as to the molesting aspect, I can’t see how this is any different than 14yo me having a couple of VHS tapes where the boob-parts were more worn than the rest of the tape. Or going frame by frame on the Taxi 2 DVD in the scene where Petra does kung fu in a skirt. Or golden child where the mythical woman behind the curtain is revealed. Or the shower/locker room scene in robocop. Or the bath scene in coming to America. Or the playboy mansion in Beverly Hills cop 2… Anyway I digress.
If you appear naked in a movie, expect teenage boys and creepy men to jerk off to you. Not the perfect world would be, I know. In the perfect world everyone would respect that the actress was only nude as an artistic choice, and it wasn’t meant to be spank bank material.
Copyright on the other hand, I thought that was just a civil law matter. Wonder why the guy was arrested.
Edit: Oh shit, good thing that I don’t sail the seven seas, and definitely never has. 2 years ago a Danish guy got 30 days probation for doing less than some of my friends did in high school and university.
Depends on where your sensors are and how much dispersion the dish has. If you are flying a surveillance plane into the “beam” then you can passively spot the ship.
I here I initially only had an issue with the phrasing “Each missile […] per missile”.
That’s frigging crazy as well as awesome. Last I went looking was probably like 15 or 20 years ago. And back then I didn’t learn about Harmy. Thanks for letting me know. I really believed that the laserdisc version was the only way to get rid of the crap Lucas added when he discovered Adderall and cgi in the late 90s.
As a stand up law abiding citizen I will of course refrain from seeking out these unlicensed materials ;)
one of the many sources of de-specialized Star Wars
What are the others? I mean besides VHS? I was under the impression that the laserdisc rip was the only decent quality release of the original trilogy.
if you can still read after trying to parse that title
I’m still trying to restore normal operations, at the moment the people around are deciding on how to deal with my core dump…
Yeah, I’m thinking of a rewrite of “the greatest trick the Devil ever did was convince the world he didn’t exist”
Either it’s a demotivated Trump, or it’s a Trump who figures that if he’s going on the offensive now, then the Harris campaign will still have time for a comeback.
Friends don’t let friends get lazy, remind everyone to vote!
If you fix the problem, and you’ve managed to not get caught being the cause, by anyone who survived, then you’re the hero
Baking soda? In those quantities? Please, tell us more. Like what do you do with it?
It may be weird, but applying the Jason Mendoza problem solving tactics could work.
Anytime I had a problem and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem
I haven’t read the case either. But what I do know is the news media isn’t always as nuanced in their reporting of court cases, as the cases warrants.
If that is the case here I don’t know. Musk is a POS, so everything is definitely possible. All I’m saying is that if it actually is a breach of contract, then Musk could have a case.
But imagine signing a contract, where you have to buy a set amount of advertising, with no clause about the site’s conduct and reputation.
To quote Legal Eagle on Nebula: it depends. Suppose that the customers had a deal with Twitter granting them special pricing, but on the condition that they spend a certain amount during a given period. Then the customers could be breaching the terms of the contract by dropping out halfway through. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, and IANAL of course, but it seems plausible to me.
IANAL (goes without saying, I guess)
If the city of Springfield can document damages resulting from Vance’s lies, then the city should definitely try to recoup their expenses. But from Vance personally, not the campaign org. The organization will be shut down by mid November and Springfield isn’t going to get a ruling before then. Besides, are we sure whether the campaign organization is even responsible for what unvetted shit a candidate spews?
Could this be a class action? I mean the city had OT to the police, but individuals had to miss work, kids missed school, and many other people were terrified. IDK but this smells like punitive damages.
Legal Eagle should do a take on this.
