Tim Onion to all of Infowars’ intellectual property:

Check out the 20th anniversary editions; they keep the core of the games without the 90s dude edgelording.

(I personally think the New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness are superior but I’m in a minority)

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes landlords

The sad thing is there’s great uses of this tech; we used PGD to ensure our daughter wouldn’t be born with a terminal genetic illness like our son was.

These people can’t stop doing eugenics though

A list of things my daughter believes the internet should be for exclusively:

Cats
Baby turtles
Princesses
Video games

Can’t fault her tbh

Just need to add that I’m technically in Sydney but am not in Warrang (Sydney cove) - I’m in Warranmadhaa between the Nepean and Georges Rivers 😊

Warrang! With a beard!

Simpsons, thanks very much

I'm assuming it's Toowoomba from the Sunshine Coast or Tweed Heads? My Atto 3 could do that and back on a single charge (might be a bit touch and go at the end), let alone if you stop anywhere even once along that route for a top-up from a fast charger.

The average Australian commute even in regional areas is something like 34km.

Like yeah a coast-to-coast road trip takes planning (it isn't impossible) but the number of Australians who've ever actually driven the Nullarbor is vanishingly small.

Electrochemistry. I did two years of chemistry and I was very good at it but electrochemistry and half cell reactions slid off my brain.

I mean unfortunately like a quarter of the country’s response has been to switch its support to our home brand Trumps in One Nation

I was talking about Australia 😃

We have paper ballots counted on-site with party scrutineers and cookers still manage to bleat about election fraud because we provide pencils rather than pens.

If the setting is what I suspect it is, and as you've said if the company is unlikely to be muscling in that space, it's probably fine.

Caselaw-wise this is why companies do trademarks like "Marvel's Thor" or "Disney's Hercules" which are capable of being trademarked.

I believe though that Isabelle was referring to someone drawing fanart of characters that are gods in a specific setting, i.e. like Pelor and Selune in DnD.

Selling fanart is then a question of how litigious the company in question is. A small run of stuff, especially in-person at cons and artist alleys, is unlikely to run afoul of anything, but a larger-scale business of selling prints will probably get their attention.

In Australia we don't have a copyright carve-out for transformative works, so fair use only covers research, criticism, news reporting, parody, legal advice and public administration. In America it's less clear-cut but generally still de jure illegal to sell fanart.

Oh no, I don't like this

Graph perverts like to take macro-scale average statistical indicators and overlay them on other macro-scale average statistical indicators and then use that to make statements about the circumstances of individuals or population samples. It's shitty stats in clear service of an ideological position

The response to this is "it's real incomes, so it accounts for rising costs" as if every participant in the economy experiences the calculation bucket for CPI in the same way.

For instance, housing is 1/3 of the CPI. Most people on lower incomes pay far more than 33% of their income on housing.

post from @TransHobart On a serious note some of you need to download this app bc the way you're so quick to dismiss the queer identities you don't understand is not cute *screenshot of the play store page for a game called LGBT Flags Merge!*

the LGBT Flags Merge mascot saying "Hint! Lesbian + Man Butch!"

The reaction of American blue-state liberals suddenly being treated by the world the same way they've treated people in red states for decades has been very enlightening to watch

Admiring respectfully

It's a public holiday here so at least we have the excuse of knowing so we can plan what to do with our four-day weekend

I got 725 and it's pretty dang sweet
