Same, I’m rooting for the seagull, assuming that’s what they’re going for.

A spokesman for the Pokémon Company International told the Daily Beast, “We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”
It’s pure damage control. It’s a shame to see it.
Don’t get me wrong, there could be a take down request going on in the background, but that’s futile. DHS and ICE are federal agencies. Taking on federal agencies is near impossible for a variety of reasons I won’t get into. The process is entirely in the governments favor, and always has been, even prior to a fascist regime taking over.
Given all that, it would be much more comforting to see the companies involved speaking out a bit more, but that’s asking for too much I’d say.
Can’t deny this.
I come from a family of MAGAts and when they’re angry at something they make sure everyone knows it. They boycott aggressively, tell all their friends and family to do the same and they do not let up.
My friends and fiancee are really, really bad about these things in comparison. I’m sure our canceled subscriptions will be back in 3-4 months.
SL was too complicated when I was a kid. Might be different now, but a lot of us went onto IMVU instead. It originally had no separation for over and under 18 accounts, but even after they added it you had both kids and adults blatantly intermingling anyways. You couldn’t search up over 18 rooms as under 18 or search under 18 rooms as over 18, but people could still invite and chat.
Nothing quite like being 15 and hanging out with your friends until one of them invites their mid-twenties boyfriend to the chat.
Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.
If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It’s significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They’re going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.
That’s what a lot of us are waiting for unfortunately.
The Trump regime has been moving very quickly to consolidate power, and they didn’t even have a casus belli. Now they have one. In the conservative mind Charlie Kirk has become a martyr who must be avenged.
When a client tells you they’ve done their own research. Either go pro se or shut up and let us handle your mess.
My current girlfriend is cool with it, but she’s absolutely fantastic about pretty much everything.
One of my exs on the other hand was a bit more aggressive and weird about it. She had a lot of toxic masculinity beliefs going on.
The real issue I have is that a lot of them think its hot, along with some of the other things I may have been into at one point. It’s a bit of a struggle to explain that I’m not asking for more, I’m just being transparent to avoid a potential bombshell being dropped in the future. I don’t have the energy for a polycule, to bother with a third, or anything in the lifestyle anymore.
I can ask mine to speak and he’ll respond. Unfortunately if he’s in a mood and I ask him to be quiet he often won’t listen.
It’s alright, that lawyer is just outside counsel, he was expendable.
It’s been happening in the real world for a long time.
There’s all sorts of anti-homeless architecture out there such as changing benches to make sleeping on them uncomfortable, or adding spikes anywhere on the ground someone might seek shelter. We waste so much money and time attempting to make these poor peoples lives more miserable when all of that could have gone towards simply removing the issue of homelessness.
I really don’t like short-form media. Sure, these people have always existed, but this really promotes it. There’s no room for lengthy explanations either in the video or outside of it in text form.
Say what you will about blogs or youtube, but at least people have text space to add citations and references.
where exactly is random based on the birth rate (if a region has a higher birth rate it is more likely that you are born there)
Even if this wasn’t included I was already thinking of this. A, C and I all seem like they have rather good odds at putting you somewhere in Africa.
We’re really going back to behaving like we’re living in the middle ages. Your wife can’t conceive? Time to find an excuse to get rid of her as that’s one of her only purposes and you need a heir.
Ah, turns out that all genies use the same code as nuclear gandhi.
I’m more surprised it took them this long to realize that they can just do this and his cult will believe it.
Not sure if they’ll even list anyone that’s actually guilty, regardless of party loyalties. This is just an assumption, but I assume that some of these people visited the island at the same time as the others. In that case outing even a single individual could lead to them inevitably naming and shaming others that have been too. They wouldn’t risk that.
Sorry if that came off the wrong way. I more so meant it to point out what I intended in case there was a misunderstanding.
None of this is what I am discussing. I’m talking about the people in the thread who are saying that these people deserved this.
I don’t quite understand the outrage in the thread. I’ve been looking through the comments, trying to see if this ever went beyond gossip and I can’t find anything.
From my understanding the app was intended to be a safe space for women to discuss dating. Relaying information about dangerous individuals, or people who cheat. I can imagine that things might have gotten slightly out of hand in regards to anonymous gossip, but is that anything compared to being doxxed? Besides, women, and men have been gossiping behind each others backs for as long as humans have existed. An anonymous app makes it significantly worse certainly, but it is what it is. This behavior is always going to exist for better or for worse. For example, people already discuss this on sites like fetlife since the risk of ending up with someone who wants to batter you for the sake of battering you is somewhat high there.
Surely we can have some sympathy for people who have had their identifications doxxed by 4chan who haven’t done anything worse than a bit of toxic gossip at most?
No contact. I tried. I tried so hard to point out the wrongs committed by the regime that I thought that they would disagree with, but MAGAs just bend reality around it all.
It’s painful, given that most of us don’t do this out of a sense of right or wrong, but because we care. You get used to it eventually though.
