If they did could we use the Twitter bird or Tesla logo all we wanted? I mean yeah let’s get rid of all IP law but get rid of it for everyone. If we want to copy a big corporation then yeah we should do that. Get rid of copyright and trademarks, woo! Publish all that hidden patented material so anyone can produce it. Let’s get creative. You think big corps will get on board with all this?

The problem is it’s getting harder and harder to pirate games, especially games that are entirely online.

This makes me think of how Trump et all assumed Canada was weak and thought we could be bullied into doing whatever he wanted. Nope, if you want a trade war we’ll take our business elsewhere. Being polite and diplomatic does not equate to weakness. Assuming someone is weak because they don’t leap to grab a gun to solve everything is liable to go badly in the long term.

It’s more why should you respect and be patient with someone who can’t do a thing against you if you aren’t? Say you met someone on the street and they decided to start insulting you. The natural response is to punch them in the face to ensure they don’t insult you further; except if they are stronger or have some other reason for you to respect them and put up with their bullshit (ex. Elders, martial arts sensei, some kind of community leader, etc.).

The response to a peaceful protest is similar. So long as they don’t insult one’s honor or get in the way they don’t get a punch in the face, except if they wield enough political clout. You don’t have power to be peaceful unless you can fight back.

Well they do have a point. Having strength isn’t the same thing as using it. Most have the ability to beat another human to a pulp but instead use their words and other forms of conflict resolution. So to extend that logic one isn’t peaceful if one doesn’t have the power not to be; that is one isn’t restraining themselves from being violent and exercising benevolence and patience but rather being forced to be tolerant of others bullshit because they can’t do anything about it. It’s like is your chastity being tested more in a monestary or a whorehouse?

If you have the money to buy a Tesla I don’t think you’re someone who cares what people think one way or the other. You don’t need to care about public opinion with that kind of income.

Yeah anti Japanese would bother me as well if I caught it as I’m an anime and Jpop/Jrock fan as well. If Kpop artists wanted to encourage me as a fan they would develop positive rather than negative relationships with their Jpop counterparts.

As for Kpop all sounding alike how is that different than say American pop?

Use an alternative chromium based browser?

I prefer J-pop but K-pop isn’t all that bad.

I think Google justifies the whole process with ads. Sure it’s all piracy but you come for the music, pirated or not, and they sell ads to you and someone gets paid revenue. I think YT would have an easier time of it if they improved gemini and integrated it as a DJ like spotify has its own music DJ.

Private contract work maybe? Or maybe try teaching or tutoring? Something you can arrange around an appointment shedule that can accomodate your needs. I feel you man. I’m disabled and living on welfare and no one wants to hire a legally blind epileptic that can’t drive, it’s just to much of a liability issue for them.

I don’t think it’s the amount but rather the context given the character development. If the character is always ecchi then it makes more sense. If you have a random sex scene then it doesn’t quite make sense. That’s true whether it’s anime or a romance novel. In fact anime is often compared to literature, as opposed to other visual media like television because of it’s advanced character development. I’ve got no problem with tons of fan service but I agree it has to be paired with good writing. I don’t find excessive amounts of Plot bad so much as badly written story and plot, now that’s cringe. So in essence I would disagree with the assertion that everyone hates fanservice but add the caveat that randomly throwing in a sex scene does not automatically improve things on its own either.
