Your first guess was right, you can tell from the napkin roll and shipping crate siding. I agree that Nopa burger is better for the price!

You went to a famous BBQ spot, and ordered a double burger and fries? Sorry that's on you. And engaging with your dumbass post is on me.

For the readers: There's an $11.95 double cheeseburger place one block up from here. This person is an idiot

I'm aligned in principle, but to be fair, curiosity would have been searching the Internet, posting on social media without a research attempt is performative

FWIW, while you're not incorrect about the build process part, this person specifically mentions the politics and paper process required just to get approval to start conducting land surveys and the like, so his point is valid too. Also fun at parties, cheers!

The real answer is boring. Think about the legal precedent that would be set, this would be seen as condoning anyone to go out, market and accept money for a representation of their IP without asking for permission beforehand, no legal team worth their salt is going to allow that. They don't want to reward someone for doing things the wrong way from a legal standpoint. There's also probably a potential fraud liability here, the same way trademark owners are required to legally pursue copycat brands to prevent customers from being defrauded

There have been no major innovations in film technique for much longer than that, so they make a good point. 10 years is not a long enough interval to call filmed media old, unless someone is quite young and lacks context

Regardless of how it's explained, there's a flaw in any libertarian philosophy that still makes this meme true: Not wanting the government to get involved, means as a rule they don't support laws preventing other people from being discriminated against either, which sadly is proven to be something that needs to be done in human societies with historical inequality. Any theory that ignores the capacity for illogical/inequitable factionalism and cruelty is a fantasy at best, it always leaves a path towards fascism

Don't quote me on this but I think you're cooking! We need a name for a role that makes it easy for people to enter our industry, maybe we can call it something like entry level!

The game is Toejam & Earl. Falling off the end of a level sends you to the previous level, unless you fall through a hole in that map, then you fall to the next level, and so on.

There's also a secret place where you can fall off in level one to go to the secret zero level.

I would argue it's actually in fuckin credible, which does work

Until you said Detroit I was going to accuse you of being Jon Stewart's posting account ;) very entertaining post, I salute you

Buds, how about funding more public transportation lines too, instead of protesting? SkyTrain is great when there are stations nearby, but considering the sprawl of the Vancouver Metro area, it needs to be expanded alongside housing density.

These guys seriously govern one of the most beautiful regions in North America, with unprecedented access to nature, relatively flat so walkable/bikable, and the only thing they can think about is adding more roads, parking, and pollution.

Fair enough, though I would propose that it is not a binary thing, plenty of great character actors get typecast when they actually have a much broader range

Ah okay, I thought they were complaining, and I was about to start listing the amount of amazing character actors who play "samey" roles that you can't get enough of

While I get what you're saying, you would still be the person who is choosing to take offense in this situation, and getting yourself worked up. This would be more like if someone said you look like you're from Boston, weird because there's not a true 'look', but not a big deal at all.

Equating it to someone calling you a dog is the energy you're putting on it yourself. It's generally considered dehumanizing to equate gay people to dogs, something to consider
