Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
  • It's to get cameras thrust in their face so they ask when oil executives will face consequences.

    "Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???"

    It's an idiotic form of protest, it accomplishes nothing but turning the public against you, and forever associating your cause with petty vandalism.

  • California's New Law Will Force Storefronts to Disclose That Buyers Don't Actually Own Their Digitally Purchased Media - IGN
  • This may be careful wording to avoid it being struck down by the Supreme Court.

    Individual states have limited power to limit contracts. And while this may be a flimsy leg to stand on, SCOTUS may as well be the great American flamingo when it comes to standing on a single shakey leg

  • curved it is
  • most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

    The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

    There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

    The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

    We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they're painting or drawing blood.

  • Couch menace
  • I used to have a roommate that apparently had a habit of taking honey to the shower and fucking it. We found more than one jar of honey that he denied fucking, and others that lived with him reported the same.

    He would go on to sexually assault a friend of mine.

    Now I'm not saying JD Vance absolutely has sexually assaulted someone under the influence, but I am saying he looks and acts like a guy who would rape a hot dog bun after two shots of tequila.

  • California's 'click to cancel' subscription bill is signed into law
  • It's arguably unconstitutional even before that. Article 1 section 10, first line, the states may not make laws impairing contracts.

    Admittedly it's thinbut the supreme court has acted on thinner pretext.

  • Help me understand this effect

    This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

    So I'm at a mandatory holiday luncheon

    But they sent my area to a different building.

    I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

    I'm not allowed to leave.

    I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

    D and D had multiple 10 episode seasons to get it done. Lucas did it in three movies.

    Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.

    Danny just decides to lose her shit one day.

    The Expanse @lemmy.world Wogi @lemmy.world
    Books like the expanse?

    I'm 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I've read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?

    Three only other series I can think of that's similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.
