Basically the difference between being legally supported as opposed to simply not illegal.
South Africa recognizes same sex marriages, where-as the other places allow same sex relationships legally, but don’t recognize the marriages.

There’s also significant input from American Evangelicals contributing to these laws. For instance, Scott Lively an evangelical anti-gay activist, helped push for Uganda to penalize same-sex relationships with the death penalty. And Islam only makes up 13.7% of Uganda.
As horrendous as this ruling is, I’m also pissed at the pro-forced birthers that are upset by this ruling. It’s so intellectually dishonest to object to this ruling when it uses the same justifications they use to oppose abortion.
These people pick issues to be passionate on but never actually put in the effort to research. And not just whether their position makes any sense, but what the downstream effects of the position would mean.
The politicians who write these anti-abortion laws are even more lazy. This is literally their job and they should have seen this coming. They could have put in exceptions for IVF from the get-go but they didn’t, because they are more interested in winning points than writing effective legislation.
Good explanation, thank you. It looks like fair use is a lot more limited than I had thought. And obviously not worth the risk for the average person to try and use as a defense.
Ah, thank you for that context, I didn’t see any mention of Patreon in the article.
Not that this would save the average person from litigation hell, but does Nintendo actually have a legal leg to stand on? What would make a (free) mod any different from any other artistic expression?
Also assuming the mod creator didn’t do anything crazy like rip assets from an existing Pokémon game.
They reported 9.9 billion in profit for their third quarter last year, so I think 458 minutes of profit from that quarter.
I assumed 90 days in the quarter, or 129,600 minutes.
So dollar or minute wise, that comes out to a 00.35% penalty to that quarter.
Edit: Which isn’t even close to the 36 minutes in that article, so I’d err on me being the wrong one.
Edit 2: I think I see the difference, I was looking at their profit, not their revenue.
I like Vesper (2022) as one of the few I know of that focuses on biological technology, and it is part of the story as opposed to a backdrop.
There’s a lot of body horrror/Cronenburg stuff I like that gets close. Stuff like The Fly, Testuo the Iron Man, Videodrome, etc. But that’s focused more on the “wouldn’t this be fucked up?” than the exploration of biotech.
Repo Men (2010) and Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) have a strong focus on the commoditization of the human body and organs especially. Gattaca (1997) is a little similar in that genetic therapy is important to society. And The Island (2005) is centered on cloning. Of these four, I like Repo! the most, but for other reasons than its take on Biopunk.
eXistenZ (1999) is probably Cronenburg’s most straight forward take of biology as technology, as opposed to just a source of horror, but I haven’t actually watched this one yet.
District 9 (2009) and Akira (1988) have situations that cause massive biological change, but not centered on Biopunk in my opinion.
The Blade Runner films, despite being the posterboys of Cyberpunk film, have a lot of potential considering that at the end of the day Replicants are biological. Splice (2009) at least focuses on the actual development of new biological technology, but winds up being more of a Frankenstein tale than anything.
The Alien universe has hints of this with the Space Jockeys, xenomorphs, and androids. But it’s not ubiquitous.
My guess would be narration by Murderbot’s actor for the inner monologue.
The systems communication might partially be handled like how most things handle text messages, with the word bubbles.
I wonder if they’ll commit to hiding the actor’s face most of the time.
I’m not against algae as a food source, but the similarity of this research to Soylent Green’s cover source in the movie being plankton is hilariously on the nose.
Yea, the term is a “straight man” although this is slightly different in that the straight man is usually allowed to acknowledge the antics of the comedic characters, where-as Michael Caine treats the comedy as done straight.
I guess it would be a sub-category of straight man though, not a different thing to itself.
What’s actually news worthy is that TSA managed to catch this. Their success rate is abysmal, so I’m sure this is a big confidence boost for them.
The guards that patrol the ice wall.
Entirety of NASA. Entirety of NOAA. Meteorologists. Cartographers. Everyone who works on Google Earth. Every engineer who works on satellites, rockets, and planes. Physicists.
However, I do think 10% is probably too high an estimate. While these are a lot of people in a lot of areas, they represent pretty small demographics each.
Hallucinations while half-asleep are a well known phenomenon, so it’s very possible.
If you’re trying to know for certain, that’s harder. You’ll have to consider a lot of things. Not all of them are likely, so how much digging you do is dependent on how concerned you are.
Do you live alone? I assume you do, or already asked the people you live with.
Are all your exterior doors and windows locked? Is anything missing or out of place? I think you’d have already noticed if you’d been robbed, but this is easy stuff to rule out.
Do you have functioning Carbon Monoxide detectors? Do you have sleep apnaea? CO can lead to memory loss, sleep apnaea can contribute to sleep paralysis.
Have you seen your door open while half asleep before? If this is recurring, you can do things like place hairs in the door that will fall if it opens.
Have you done a sleep study? This can help determine if your REM cycle is frequently disrupted and if you need something like a CPAP.
There may be a better way, but I use the option to extract the file to a new folder with the same name as the zip file.
Might need to focus group the castle design with enemies who don’t charge directly at a wall.
In my opinion, when you prioritize money over values, it’s just bigotry with more steps.
At least the end result is the same, even if the motivation is potentially different.
Way worse than break his neck, he outright accidentally shoots himself in the head.
And then it was insane that the zombies can magically tell if someone is specifically terminally ill and then will actively avoid them.
Subtitles are great for this, but also investing in actual speakers instead of a soundbar or the tv’s speakers.
If the movie has multiple sound channels beyond left/right, then dialogue is usually one of those channels and can come from a specific speaker, making it less muddied than when mixed with other sounds.
If the movie doesn’t have multiple channels, the speakers might still help a little just by being better quality.
I wouldn’t recommend this if you fly very frequently, but you can take some ibuprofen or acetaminophen at the start of the flight / part way though and it should be active around the time you start getting sore.
