Welcome to the resistance

Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.”

She only opposes it because the warehouse is next to her business and she doesn’t want people in chains to be within her view. This bitch is still a shitty racist.

You’re right, that was my bad

Just to clarify, somebody suing another party doesn’t automatically mean that party broke any laws.

Yes, that’s literally what I said. Fan art may not be illegal, but it’s not legal either. The point is moot, however. If a corporation with billions or trillions of dollars can sue you with impunity, while even a meager defense can financially ruin you for life, then there is no practical difference between a legal and illegal act. The fact remains that fighting someone like Disney over something like fanart is beyond the ability of nearly everyone on earth.

Fan art is not illegal.

Off the top of my head, I know both Disney and Nintendo have sued people for making fan art. Fair use doesn’t explicitly allow you to make fan art, regardless of its transformative nature, and whether or not you owe Disney hundreds of thousands of dollars for drawing Mickey depends on court review on a case-by-case basis because it’s not technically legal in the US. It may also not be technically illegal, but that doesn’t mean a corporation can’t sue you and be awarded millions in civil damages if they think you profited off the art in some way.

A quick google search will source you lawyers saying such.

I should make an alt that ends every sentence with “wot, wot”, and say it’s to poison AI so everybody just puts up with it 🤣

Since AN was mentioned, we enable/disable them based upon the overall whims of our community, just as we decide everything. there’s no long-term commitment to anything, because times and feelings change and we don’t see any reason to be held down to something if we decide to go another way.

it loaded fine for me, but I had to bypass a uBlock filter to even see it because they are on HaGeZi’s Pro mini DNS/Browser Blocklist for being a domain associated with “ads, tracking, analytics, and badware”.

At this point it was pretty clear the conversation had run its course, so here we are. And for the record, my long-dead grandfather served in an anti-aircraft unit of the Finnish Army during WW2, defending against the attacks of the Soviet Union. Perhaps this is enough to qualify as a “Nazi” in Russia these days.

a little context from Wikipedia:

Finland was one of Germany’s most important allies in the attack on the Soviet Union, allowing German troops to be based in Finland before the attack and joining in the attack on the USSR almost immediately.

also, why is this person trying to dox the owner of archive.today? sounds to me like they fucking deserve the DDoS.

I know you’re feeling very self-righteous right now, but I hope at some point you can calm down enough to step back and realize this is such a silly thing to be getting so dramatic over.

it’s not really a question of working or not, is it? it’s a question of what words mean. if somebody says why isn’t an orange considered an apple, it’s perfectly normal to say it’s because they’re two different things. you wouldn’t say, “do what works for you, make an apple pie with oranges”, would you?

what an inspirational story!

Man, who could hate Neocities? There’s so many gorgeous “retro” websites on there. Brings me back to my childhood.

“You guys kill six, seven, eight or ten more white people and I’m gonna be really mad”

I don’t think you get your pension if you get fired.

here’s the neat thing. in the US, rules don’t apply when you’re rich.

lmao yeah ok dude sure

If only. I’ll be dancing in the street the day that happens.

AIPAC and the ADL have been kissing his feet all this time because he let them murder Arabs in Gaza for a bit. But you better believe they’ll be absolutely shocked that joining hands with actual Nazis turned out to be a bad idea. Nobody besides literally everyone saw this coming.

That’s going to make running anything on Windows rather uncomfortable.
