Yeah, I mean, again, I'm usually for rehabilitation, prevention, counseling, etc. because I know there are a lot of innocent people; either innocent of action (they didn't do it, were coerced, or the law was unjust or unjustly applied), or innocent because (imo) they had good reason (like stealing food or assaulting/killing your abusive spouse).

I also know there are plenty of people who could be kind, caring people, they just never had the chance to not be a criminal due to their upbringing; and they absolutely deserve to have a chance at rehabilitation.

But then you end up with these fucks. Just... What the fuck.

Very poetic, and yes. You're right.

Edit: (I'm being serious btw, you write very well; I just don't know what else to say aside from what I've said to the other commenters).

Yeah, you're right. Tbh I'd rather if they were gone so they don't have a chance to escape and rejoin the real world, but there just isn't a great solution to the problem that doesn't end up with others suffering in some way. The people who do this kinda shit either A) do it knowing they'll eventually get caught and believe the risk is worth the reward, or B) they're so disconnected from reality that nothing can deter them from following whatever fucked up thoughts pop into their heads. A) knows exactly what they're doing and are doing it anyway, while B) is basically an animal with human intelligence at that point. You ain't stopping either one of them.

Not really, again, this isn't really about revenge; it's more like, what would it take to make these kinds of people stop acting this way. Someone else made the point that, at the end of the day, they're breaking the law anyway. The law hasn't ever been, nor will likely ever be, enough to stop people like that. As such, a punishment like that probably wouldn't do anything except make cruelty socially acceptable (it might actually backfire).

sigh

What are you supposed to do with people like that? He punched his child to death between a methadone clinic and a McDonald's because she wet her seat. He bragged about "bouncing her off every wall in the house". He moved her body around for months, and based on the locations he chose, it almost seems like taunting than "how do I get rid of this body".

Can someone like that actually be rehabilitated, or can they serve as an example of what happens to monstrous pieces of shit like that? Like, normally I'm for rehab, but I'm not sure he can be rehabbed.

The wife/stepmother should be in prison too as it sounds like she helped him cover it up.

According to the lawsuit, the father’s uncle Kevin Montgomery contacted the agency to tell them Harmony had a “vibrant” black eye after she was “punched clear in the eye socket with full force” and that Adam had told him he’d “bounced her off” every wall in the house.

Imagine being related to that piece of shit, seeing how horrible of a person he is, and being forced to watch him destroy a child's life while the government refuses to do anything. I'm amazed the father isn't dead. Being sentenced to prison or executed is too merciful. He should be tied up in public and subjected to a constant, high but non-lethal electric current until he dies of dehydration.

Edit: this is less about revenge and more about how I'm very low on empathy and patience for the shit heads of the world right now; and I'm extremely tired of them and wondering what it'd take to make them shut up and go away.

Looking at how they handle character controls, probably not actually. It looks like you control your character like a puppet or marionette.

I don't know if it really counts since it's a full series, but Porkin' Across America is really fucking cursed.

That's awesome. I think it's also a really smart way of converting a game like that to VR.

Honestly, that's a reasonable take. I mean, there's a world of a difference between using an AI to automatically unwrap and generate UVs or generate PBR maps from flat images vs having an AI auto-generate textures and models from scratch. What'll be interesting is to see where the line ends up being drawn.

The problem with that is that copyright is viral. If you take a photo of a work under copyright, then your photo is also under that copyright. You own the copyright on the photo, but the original copyright holder owns the rights for the reproduction of the copyrighted work; meaning you both own copyright on the photo.

It usually isn't enforced, but you can see an example of this when news stations get sent C&Ds or DMCAs because some chucklefuck with a loud stereo decided to harass them (at least, I'm pretty sure I've heard of news stations getting legal letters as a result of someone playing unlicensed music in the background).

To make matters worse, because anything can be considered artistic with a good enough story, you can potentially claim copyright on reproductions of public domain works if you alter them in some way; even if that's just by changing the spelling of some names.

"Fun" fact: this is why some museums try to stop you from taking photos. The artifacts and paintings being presented may not be under copyright anymore, but the museum is claiming copyright on the presentation of the artwork or artifact, not the artwork or artifact itself. Afaik it's never gone to court so no one knows if it'd actually hold up (I think they usually cite other reasons for kicking you out, which makes it harder to fight), but you'd have to go to court to find out and there's no penalty for them falsely claiming copyright.

All that said, however, it doesn't take much for it to be considered derivative.

Yet, still, just putting the image into a bot and tell it to make a copy wouldn't be enough to free it from copyright; you just can't claim copyright on the (unauthorized) reproduction. The bar is pretty low unless it can be proven that you intended to infringe on someone's copyright (putting a image through a bot with the express purpose of getting a "copyright-free" copy would qualify), or even just awareness of someone's work, even if you didn't mean to copy it, can get you fucked.

There's been a fun case or two recently where musicians got sued because their melodies were the same as someone else's and the company was able to successfully argue that the original melodies were high-profile enough that said musicians must have been aware they were copying a melody.

Copyright is so fucked. It's not a bad idea, but holy shit is its modern implementation fucked.

One gun + another gun = more gun. This is basic math. They could have taught you this in NCD 101 if you'd paid attention.

The binding of Isaac has shit ton of them.

Do old build-engine shooters like Blood, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, etc count?

Sapienza, Italy in Hitman has outfits for red and green plumbers.

Sam and Max has references to all kinds of things.

Hypnospace Outlaw has a ton of references to pre-y2k pop culture.

Power Wash simulator has a number of official crossovers with IPs like SpongeBob, Warhammer, Laura Croft, Final Fantasy VII, etc. (oh shit I just checked and there's a Shrek one coming out soon).

If your missile pods don't have missile pods on their missile pods, then can you really say you're missiling? Furthermore, if your missiles can't transform into drones and back, are you really living in 2024?

Like, imagine it for a moment. Solid fuel rocket on a missile pod that has more missile pods attached. All the pods fire, releasing drones that come swarming out. The now-empty pod shells begin to break apart and tumble unpredictably through the air and slam into random objects, creating chaos while the drones swoop in and drop grenades everywhere.

Yes indeed! That makes much sense! Also! Moonlight helps your enemy to see on clear nights and clouds help provide cover for incoming drones! Obviously all of nature is against Russia!

What about Russian sunlight, moonlight or clouds? Are those complicit as well? This is an important question, pls respond!

Tbh that's actually pretty good for what is probably a VHS rip. They might not even be all that compressed compared to the original.

No, no let them cook. Let's see where they're going with this.

Edit: aside from into the world trade center

What brain drain? They're evacuating, not casually popping over to the mainland for a bit of fun.

"Oh no! The nearby volcano erupted and it's gonna flood a city of millions! We'd better start evacuating one person at a time so they don't experience brain drain."

C'mon man.

Yes, can confirm, I am not much more than skin, bones and feathers. Not even much of a brain, they took that away too 😔
