Black people and their... checks notes culture of celebrating loudly?
Yes, and as long as we're talking about enriching experiences, those who engage in corporate scheming and assassination are, in fact, living richer lives than those who just drudge on waiting until natural aging frees up a spot for them.
You're not making the case very well. In fact it appears that they are impoverishing themselves in every way other than "being good Christians" by piling on a perma-burden on themselves.
That's not how Putin's regime really works. As long as the author was not against the idea of Russia entirely, they can get integrated into the syncretic religion of Glorious Grandfathers. That's how you get people who venerate both the tsars and the guys who killed the tsar.
In fact, I'm not even sure they bother to ban past authors (aside from Mein Kampf), the current dissidents are what's getting censored most of the time.
The only surprising thing about this is that it took them until the middle of 2026.
If I only got told about lung cancer patients, but could never see one even theoretically because the only way you can look inside a cancer ward is to become a patient, I might think "smoking kills" was bullshit, too.
It's sarcasm. BC is saying there is too much money and attitude in tech bro circles while being a finance bro with too much money and attitude. (Can't comment on his taste in whores, though.)
If I had any inclination at all to care what Lego thinks about the proper usage of their trademark, I lost it when they canceled Bionicle.
Russian soldiers aren't refugees or immigrants.
What do you mean? Just a few months ago the West went to war on the Middle East, again. Does that look like huge appeasement to you?
As far as I'm aware marriage for love was quite rare in the era before the suffrage.
You might say that wives probably liked their husbands some, even if it was usually not the primary stimulus for marriage, but then I'm willing to believe high-end escorts like their clients some as well. It's not like liking your job is entirely unheard of when you're not working in a gutter.
Apparently women selling themselves for lifelong indenture to a man and in return sharing in all he has is totally fine, but the instant a woman sells herself for only a fraction of her life and in return shares in a fraction of a man's wealth...
The art of the courtesan, revived?
You can if you pretend it's the most impassionate, cold-headed punishment you can devise. Many prisons, however, differ in practice.
Why limit it to foreigners? I say bring the whole Bloody Code back. Or are you feeling too much tribal kinship with white chavs specifically?
Wouldn't forked content necessarily have identity similar enough that it is easily confused?
That does sound good, except as the other user noted, the IP laws also protect the small quality authors from the massive slop companies to an extent. Right now, if you have Legends of Gemlands and a generic mass-marketed Slop Wars, you can google the former and it will come up. Gonna be a lot tougher if the massive company can fork Legends of Gemlands and have their version come up in the first 10 pages of search.
"Someone writes new novels set in your world" vs "someone writes new novels set in your world that take over your brand by sheer volume of marketing" is an important difference, yes.
We still have that, it's called fanfiction. About the only difference is you can't earn money on it (usually).
"Girlfailure", but it's more affectionate than disdainful, because apparently we don't in fact hold women to female-specific standards of maturity.
"I'm so random" maybe.
If we're not counting priests of fantasy religions, then we shouldn't count evil fantasy priests and evil fantasy religions, either. I think that would cut down the initial grievance by a lot.
I take offense at calling Pale slice of life just because it still includes some slice of life.
We should hurt criminals in a way that averses them from criminality while minimizing crippling consequences. If we destroy criminals they become a burden on society and quite possibly recidivists. You can avoid that by jailing for life/execution/exile but you can't reasonably apply the capital punishment to every crime.
I don't think most humans who wish to punish are usually satisfied with a criminal receiving a single session of caning and walking free. Usually people want the criminal to "rot in prison", to use a common expression.
Sure.
Would you believe me if I told you I consider it more cruel to lock someone up for five years than receive ten rattan strikes?

I think for most people who hate Musk his billionaire status is like far third place. First and second place would be his political alignment and his cringe factor.
