You’re missing my point, though. You pay lip service to wanting something to be done about this, but all your words only spout doom and gloom in a defeatist attitude. Your words actively betray your supposed intentions.
If you actually wanted progress in this matter, you would benefit from changing your messaging. Otherwise, you just look like every other troll that’s actually pro-nazi.
So which is it?
You raise fair points, but I want to circle back to intent. Because what you’re advocating in your last sentence is hurt by your original comment.
The whole point of “it’s happened once before” is to show that something is actually possible. It’s not theoretically possible, there’s a real world example to show it.
Bringing up counterexamples does not change that.
You can show one counterexample. Ten. A hundred. A thousand examples of when something didn’t work. They don’t negate the one time it did.
And to go even further, you should frame all those counterexamples as simply learning lessons. Examples on how not to do it. Because the framing here matters. If you want someone to be smart and try to find a solution, you frame history that way.
If you’re trying to discourage others from trying, you do it the way you initially did.
What’s more, they didn’t even dismiss the complaint, just ordered them to resubmit it without it. Anyone claiming they dismissed didn’t bother to read the article.
Are you aware just how long anime has been around? There are boomers who grew up on anime. Astro Boy is from the 60s.
Did you actually read the record? Because that’s not at all what happened. Go back and read the next paragraph.
There are a lot of absolutely terrible judges out there, which I’ll never dare to excuse. But this particular instance isn’t anywhere on that level. The judge is merely saying to cut this bullshit out and resubmit it without it.
From the records:
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.
Oh, the literal wording is freaking great.
Use of this dragon cartoon logo is not only distracting, it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.
Judge is having none of this bullshit.
And people are allowed to not want to fuck them.
And they received a 1-week ban for this behavior. Rule 1 is literally hear “be kind” and that certainly wasn’t.
That being said, I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. They can come back in a week and are welcome to be kind. But any further disrespect will get them permabanned and their comments removed.
Can I offer you a nice egg in these trying times?
Doubling tortillas is an old school trick for mass quantities. It adds structural stability and minimizes food loss from breaking. We also give em a light grilling or frying before using them too.
Well, see, a buttplug is basically a plug, but for your butt. Would you like to know more?
Woah, look at Nostradamus over here
Internet’s older than you think. Tim Berners Lee, the dude who invented the World Wide Web, opened it up to the public a year earlier.
Allow me to help give context. This is Leonardo DiCaprio we’re talking about, a very famous movie star. This man can afford to have eccentric personal relationship rules. These women, while much younger, are still adults who can make informed decisions about their own lives. It’s even easier to grasp when you realize this just means they know the relationship has a predetermined max limit.
Thi2nk of it like a summer fling. Someone comes into town, just for the summer. You really hit it off and both of you want to spend more time with the other. But you both know at the end of Summer, they’re leaving town again. Would you still be willing to enjoy that time together?
It’s kind of like that, except the other person is Leonardo fucking DiCaprio, and they’re leaving town because they’re rich celebrities who can do whatever they want.
So yeah, it’s definitely fuckin weird, but that doesn’t exactly make it bad. Those are independent variables.
But the cake isn’t a lie?!?
Wow you certainly showed us
Hours of your life and fractions of your soul.
Honestly though, when the prices get significantly high, both sets of lanes are backed up to hell and it doesn’t really matter.
