Roadrunner & Coyote. Tom & Jerry (mostly, there was some weird talking occasionally). Shaun the Sheep. Pink Panther.

Lots of examples of famous main characters who lead shows with little to no dialogue.

There are also characters like Snoopy and Gromit who are silent characters in shows where others speak, but there are long stretches where they do their own thing with no dialogue.

That's the great part about Lemmy - just switch instances or roll your own. No need to complain about heavy handed mods!

I avoid watching trailers because they are loaded with stuff that I consider spoilers. I skipped past your list of things in the Asokha trailer for exactly that reason.

I understand not everyone thinks that way, but I've had too many great moments in a movie/show ruined by poor trailer work (Phantom Menace, Thor Ragnarok, etc). If there's a movie/series I know I want to see, why risk spoiling it by watching a trailer? I go in so much fresher and ready to be surprised if I avoid them.

So I feel like anything new in a series that is currently airing is spoiler territory.

The guidelines I've usually heard is also to give people at least a week to watch an episode. Not everyone can watch within hours of an episode debuting.

From what I can see in your post history, you haven't commented on a single one. I think I know at least part of why they're dead. Maybe that's a Lemmy account thing where I can't see it though.

But I can't say that I have gotten a few responses when I've been posting. Not always live during a game, but the beginnings are there, considering it's still preseason.

In some jurisdictions, false reporting of emergencies is illegal. Not sure about DC or the halls of Congress.

The proverbial false yelling of "fire" in crowded theater is literally one of the test examples for limitations that should be placed on free speech because it is so dangerous.

Profoundly stupid. Your hapless opponents are creating all the bad press they can for you. How did he possibly think this would help?

Is there another one besides the one made in 2008? That fits your description of people walking out and it being French, but clearly that's not where the rating system came from given that ratings started in 1968.

Sitting on the floor and building whatever I wanted with the, maybe 800, Lego bricks I had.

I wish this were more implausible, but at this point I'm getting worried.

They'd still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. And given that they'd be at full strength they'd probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL

I can't think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth's population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.

Edit: I didn't really think of GotG as "Avengers", but yeah, Drax and Mantis are probably gone, unless they're somehow smart for their species. Or unless emotional intelligence is enough to save Mantis. I don't know if we ever find out enough about Groot to know, but I'd assume he's in the top of his species. I still think everyone else survives (Hulk survives via Banner, or at least Banner survives).

It's been done before (though not intentionally at first), at the Salton Sea.

And the results weren't that bad (granted possibly a smaller scale than some are imagining when they forecast doom).

But the problem is any deserts are deserts for a reason: lack of rainfall and/or natural inflow from rainwater upstream. The result is that you have to keep pumping in tons of water and/or rely on agricultural runoff which is nutrient-depleted and usually full of chemicals.

Read the rest of the linked article for what's going on with that one.

Plastic fibers would be covered under microplastic concerns, and organic fibers (cotton, wool, etc) are easily broken down and don't stick around in your system.

Plastics don't ever go away. They hang around, and we're discovering they hang around in our bodies too. Organic fiber stuff can be easily broken down or passed through your body.

Did you read the article or any others about it? Human creativity is the heart of copyright law. If humans didn't make it, no copyright. At least under the latest ruling.

At least in the USA: You absolutely can control the distribution of your likeness if it wasn't taken in public.

Photos of you in public can't be controlled because you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. If someone takes a picture of you privately, even if not for commercial purposes, you can absolutely control the use of that image unless you release it.

Same for me in the USA

On the lower end of specs, cheaper, but rock solid, I've really liked my Galaxy Tab Active3. Even had a really good built in pressure sensitive stylus. Works well for quick sketches (not creating masterpieces)

You can basically roll your own private one with Plex running PlexAmp. You can even share it with friends (or family or whoever... Based on your interpretation of the laws in your area)

It's not decentralized, and you have to bring your own music, but it's something.

If they were just having donuts or something for lunch - and especially if it was causing behavioral problems with that kid or otherwise disturbing class - then sure. But Pringles? Assuming those were a side and not the entire lunch, especially, but even so...

But this seems like overreach, albeit well-intentioned
