    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    Yeah. People tend to not take it that seriously because even most people who think copyright is a good idea know that the way it's set up right now is an illogical, corrupt, biased mess. I've read in the past legal recommendations that you should simply assume you are breaking the law, because...

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    It's a rule that people don't actually care about*; even the people enforcing it frame the issue as "we're doing this for legal reasons", not because they actually care about the issue much if at all. So people are treating it like an inconvenience to be avoided or a logic puzzle to be solved...

    What they said. "Sig" is short for "signature", used as a verb.

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    People reflexively tend to try to rules lawyer rules they don't like. And while nobody seems to be passionately against it, nobody seems to rate this rule any higher than "I don't like it but understand why it's needed" either. So people are idly poking at it.

    Announcement on Rule 3 and Doujin/Hentai Websites

    If you said that to me my reaction would be "Bhwah?!" At any rate the link being broken as described doesn't seem like it would result in much of a hardship to search for the original anyway. As said, they don't want to (and can't anyway) pay for a legion of lawyers to deal with the problem...

    General chat thread

    Also, early on it's really the only tool they have; an infant can't actually do much to deal with even minor issues beyond "cry for Mommy and Daddy and hope they make it better". By the time they are old and capable enough they could deal with such minor issues themselves (or ask for help in a...

    Website died for 15 minutes

    Same. It got balky for a bit, then died entirely.

    That, to me was one of the big appeals of Morrowind. So many fantasy settings are just some variation of generic European medieval or vaguely Asian design that it was really fun to play in a setting that felt actually exotic. Weird people, weird culture, weird creatures, weird landscape.

    Power interactions and how you'd play with them

    The Hulk with a Red Power Ring is an old one. The debate being whether it's be a huge power up it a major detriment with it trying to affect his blood and heart against his regen, I considered a long time ago the scenario of a team up between Gallant from Worm and the Hulk, with Gallant zapping...

    Do you ever think it might be real somewhere?

    Yeah. The concept of fiction "being real somewhere" is fun in the abstract but gets pretty dark when you consider just how much nasty stuff is in there. Reminds me of a funny short story Mercedes Lackey wrote where she's confronted by her characters over all the awful things she's put them...

    Heck, I do recall reading about an engineer who built his own Titan missile. Some people have cooler hobbies than others.

    What are your most hated fanfic tropes

    The Wormfic Ignis et Furor would be the exception that proves the rule. Sol Invicta declares the Solar Dominion and fights off the US military and Protectorate to make it stick.

    Two Sentence Story (Horror, humor, tragedy, anything!)

    Though he knew not what kingdom she hailed from, the knight hoped to be rewarded for freeing the princess from her captivity to a dragon. She did at least thank him before devouring him.

    Yes. Everything is interrelated in the economy, so inflation is something that affects everything, eventually. Not always to the same degree, but that's why it's prices in general that rise; not just a few products.

    Likes now require confirmation page?

    It's something I've seen on multiple forums, generally when some sort of lag or disconnect has screwed up normal interaction. You should pay attention to what the message is because sometimes in such situations what I've gotten is a question asking me if I want to remove a reaction, because the...
