No backsies!

The hungry little murder machine that murders my enemies is my friend.

Cats, where did they go? Inside!

Where did they sleep? Everywhere!

I’m fairly sure that at this point pirating has been shown to lead to increased sales, even of small scale productions.

Also, no one said that people can’t keep the rights for a while, just that if you don’t let people access those things you don’t get to prosecute them for making the art available.

Or, I’ll you’ll bear with me, I reject the arbitrary and contrived difference the comic puts forwards.

You’ll surely grant that in real life there is a lot of co-morbidity between the two conditions - even if you personally might not agree that the improvements to the house that the people you label as Nationalist would try to implement. Which is the Patriot’s quality.

That’s true.

I was reading a nutter manifesto from the Heritage Party in the UK earlier… It is a hodgepodge of animal rights laws that are a mix of actual animal rights and outlawing Halal and Kosher slaughter, encouraging free markets and nationalising railways and utilities, being free speech and personal freedom but LGBTQ people can’t have families or be spoken about, want to invest in the military and especially navy but also apparently are anti-war and want to cease support for Ukraine.

Strange, nationalists in Europe have a lot of ideas about how to change their various countries.

You’ll have to explain, since in the comic the main premise of both Nationalism and Patriotism is that “this house is mine ergo it is the best”.

(Also historically the distinction would be that Nationalism is about establishing an ethno-state, while Patriotism is the basically-unconditional loving of your state, be it ethno or otherwise.)

And in my day we couldn’t just send boomers to bed with a hand wave, we had to sit through the Clintons’ saxophone show first and then we…

You’re wrong, but I’m glad you have had fun and I hope that TESVI isn’t a micro transaction fuelled pile of tripe.

Yup, that’s the one.

Has Bethesda actually released a decent game since Daggerfall?

I’m not sure the guy invoking Soros is meant to be taken seriously or sympathetically.

Edit: also the artist is the Jewish artist Eli Valley, apparently.

And this is why, little bushes, we must always have birds and give to them our first sprung berries on tribute.

Which creates a space where people with personal affiliations get away with it and gather. And then when called out on their shit, tell the “for the lulz” crowd that people are coming for their freedom.

Thanks for the explanatory text.

“Destroyed”? Could we perhaps use more specific language?

Does this petition mean shut down, or a loss of bug fixing and anti-hacker support, or something else?

It may be, but even knowing all that it is hardly helpful advice, and at least out of context and not knowing the people talking doesn’t seem to contain empathy or sympathy.
And is devoid of criticism of the actual leaker of the photos.

You’re not wrong.

But I also don’t think it’s a big delta in risk chance in a lot of cases, meanwhile in some parts of the world (looking at you East Asia) spy cameras are a huge problem.

There are, I imagine millions of nude photos taken that never leak.

I think a reason many feminists feel strongly on the issue is that it really throws society’s whore-virgin paradigm into relief, where women with sexuality are pushed to take the blame for their actions without much (any) consideration for them as people. Which is the reason “just don’t take them” gets the hostile reaction it does, and is a ridiculed response.

OK so because it’s selfies, so person 1 is responsible for her images leaking in a way person 2 is not?

Or do you feel that selfies are a level above and beyond just nude photos by virtue of having been self taken? If so, what sets nude selfies apart from sexy photos taken by a long term partner if anything?
