Have you noticed gum has gotten mintier lately?

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

Appropriate that you used tea bags because it’s a popular legend that tea bags were created after customers misused the product. Some tea sellers started selling their tea in silk bags with the intention that customers would remove the leaves from the bag before use. Instead, customers dipped the bag of leaves directly into water.

My guess is to maintain plausible disability. A foreign government assisting you win an election isn’t illegal if you aren’t aware of it. It becomes illegal when you know it’s happening and do nothing to stop it.

Screw anyone who says Stardew Valley is a cozy game. If I don’t water my plants they die! If I stay up too late I’ll lose money! I can’t get the fish I need unless I fish at 6pm in the mountain lake on a rainy Tuesday in winter! Abigail has once again dominated me at the egg hunt! Ahhhhh!

Father, I cannot click the book!

US alcohol sales plummeting so much they’re advertising on Lemmy!

You can always request a refund while outside the 2 hour limit, it’s just going to be manually reviewed instead of automatic.

The time limit is arbitrary. There are lots of games that can be finished within a few hours. I’ve heard some devs say their short games are refunded at much higher rates than longer ones and recommend ensuring a game is at least 2 hours long. It’s like YouTube paying more money to creators who make videos that are 10min+. Now you have videos that could have been 2 minutes stretched out for meta reasons.

I doubt Blue Prince specifically tries to hide game mechanics for 2 hours to prevent people from refunding it. It’s just a slow burn puzzle game.

Depends on the type of contempt charge. Legal Eagle compares the types in a video on this case.

tl;dw

• Civil Contempt (coercive) - incremental fines or jail time until the charged follows an order.
• Civil Contempt (compensatory) - a fine paid to someone who was wronged by ignoring a court order
• Criminal Contempt (direct) - jail time meant as punishment for directly disobeying a judge while court is in session
• Criminal Contempt (indirect) - jail time meant as punishment for disobeying a judge while court isn’t in session.

Criminal contempt can be pardoned and Trump has pardoned it before. Civil contempt cannot be pardoned but it only lasts until an order is followed.

Enforcing a contempt ruling is the next issue. Normally a US marshal would enforce it but they technically answer to the Attorney General, who answers to Trump, who could order them not to listen to the judge or be fired. A court could theoretically deputize someone to enforce the order directly, but that has never happened and people could just not recognize the authority of the deputized officer.

The only people who would register would be janitors, mods, and admins. There are 4chan passes where you pay $20 a year to skip captchas and have a lower post cooldown which works by associating a token with an IP address. The token is emailed to you and you get reminder emails when the token is expiring so you can renew it. So 4chan would likely have emails for pass users too. Pass users still post anonymously. I don’t know the exact stat but I remember the owner saying something like only 1% of users have a pass.

You underestimate how many people literally cannot stop themselves from playing Mario. I’d hope it’s mostly children begging their parents, but I have a feeling there’s a decent amount of 30 year olds with disposable income and zero impulse control in there.

remember this video game is Open World. That means we must open our wallets and pay all the money in the world.

Honestly surprised this hasn’t be used by a game studio yet.

Innocent until proven guilty. Nobody should be in jail without a conviction.

Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

I played through Part I and I could only imagine how much people complained. It’s got US soldiers following orders to kill innocent people, a black woman as the leader of a paramilitary group, a rough and tough guy who only showed his soft side to his now dead husband, a group of religious nuts who are lead by a pedophile, and the whole thing is about vaccination against a deadly virus.
