Implying? Nah, nah. Just describing History.

Like, come on. I'm a citizen of a country that the US literally coup'd.

I like them as well, in particular the former because it clears ambiguity better when used in a list; I just would like more if there was a oneword.

Oh, varied local interpretations, a pretty fair point. I wish most of them were more consistent tho.

Gotta be honest and admit it took me more than 4 seconds to get it.

I'm willing to excuse their faults. They mostly do it out of the consequences of colonialism and cultural appropriation. That's just as much as saying they do it because of the barrel of a gun.

That said most proposals I've seen on the subject are... silly or unwirldy. I'm not gonna call people from the US "estadounidense" (looooong) or "USAmerican" (uppercases) unless they tell me they're OK with it. I'd be fine with otherwise distinguising eg.: something like "American" vs "Américan", since English has been fine with diacritics for a good while of centuries already (née, naïve, blasé, etc).

Do you have a good source on that? Every school book and college book I've ever checked, plus Encarta and Wikipedia, explicitly state that it is one continent.

America is the whole continent. You guys just fenced the worst part of it.

Everyone has already given their response so there's nothing really to add other than, well, there's lots of reasons to justify piracy. Most of them are even provided by the publishers / distributors themselves!

Also it's weird to browse the top 10 responses or even below, and NOT see this xkcd posted or even linked. What is going on, Lemmy?

Well you are certainly dragging your self.

¿por qué no los dos?

Leopard, meet face.

So basically he's still free to do whatever he wants so long as he stays within his country, which he would do anyway as his task as head of state.

So, exactly what has changed that is useful?

I finished my college degree to escape this stuff!!!! ;_;

Practical question: who can actually arrest Netanyahu?

The UN weighs less than the air on a potato chips bag. If they emit an arrest order, who can legally apply it? If the answer is "all member parties", does that also enable citizen arresting him by a citizen of a country member of the UN that recognizes civilian arrest? And if the answer is "all member parties", is failure to arrest him not considered dereliction of duty?

That's the neat part: you don't.

Why not? Feds support murder, certainly. Heck, the Constitution supports murder: it establishes an Army.

Am the numero 4 / bottom right (except too poor for fursuit yet). Sometimes pretend to be a 2. Have two colleagues who work IT at a municipal service. The first is a 1 who pretends to be a 3 and the second is a 3 who pretends to be a 1. Even I find myself at a loss at them sometimes.

It also somewhat says they know the new games are nowhere near as good as the good ol' ones, which is one of the big reasons to pirate older stuff.

Wait, serving a legal notice can be made transitive to people not part of the legal system?

Like, I could just sue someone the other end of the country and then arrange things so that the notice is delegated to my landlord if (small if) they're being a jerk?

Poor grandma, receiving a visit from the Yakuza for Xmas...

Shame on Nintendo. As per usual.
