Wow, not even making up a lie, just straight up saying they’re banning for down voting.

I thought this was about the ball throwing to capture monsters

What’s frustrating is that the thing that is arguably questionable (the art of some of the characters) isn’t what is the subject of anything. Nope. Ball throwing.

Prior art exists of that though so you wouldn’t be able to. I know you’re making a joke though lol.

- Comment on If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan. 1 week ago:
Even if it was dinosaurs, the dinosaurs weren’t harvested, much less exploited, in any way. They died of natural causes. Hell, even if the aliens decided to farm them and we used what remained it still wouldn’t be exploiting them since it’s more akin to scavenging.

This is a pretty dumb hill to die on. If someone says “chemicals on their lawn” it’s pretty clear they mean lawn treatment services.

No, sharing digital content is copyright infringement, but downloading it? Hey, how am I supposed to know this site isn’t legally allowed to give it to me?
- Comment on Alternative to github pages? 1 week ago:
You need to qualify this statement, GotHib Pages can mean like two or maybe more things. Do you mean free static site hosting? Do you mean easy static site generation from Markdown files?

- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 week ago:
LTT had multiple pretty bad scandals, didn’t they? I recently needed to find some technical information and other places had better information. LTT seems to be more of a pop culture tech channel? I don’t even really know how to describe what I mean. It’s like the reviews are more like fluff pieces I guess? They aren’t super duper technical. But I also don’t watch them much so maybe I missed something.
- Comment on ISO 26300 1 week ago:
Yes, it technically is a standard, but because it’s an ISO standard you have to pay for I wouldn’t call it open. www.iso.org/standard/71691.html but people have different definitions of what an open standard is and I’m not trying to critique them.

Ooh I would fucking LAY into her in the review if she did that, and cause a drink to the dean. That shit would’ve pissed me off so bad. I hate when people expect you to be telepathic like that.

Imagine a stack of glass cups. It gets tall enough that the bottom glasses break under the weight of the new glasses. Tada!
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
No, this is actually really relevant. This is part of the logic applied to labeling Pluto a dwarf planet. Pluto and it’s moon do this, Earth and our moon do not. Yes, obviously the center of mass of the two isn’t the exact center of the earth but it’s still within the earth.

Reminds me of the one in 2020 that someone named Corona1488 got banned from LoL but their real last name was Corona and their Birthday was January 4th 1988 (or April 1st maybe). I think they got Riot’s attention and got their account back, maybe they had to change it, I’m not sure.
