Also, aren’t executive orders still subject to Supreme Court rulings? What would stop them from just overruling it again?

Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

This is a problem with all of these Tik Tok clones (and even Tik Tok let’s you do it for some videos). It’d so annoying to be watching a 45 second reel but if I miss something, I have to watch the whole thing again

Well “entertaining” is subjective. If these people weren’t entertaining, they wouldn’t have so many followers.

There are absolutely a ton of people out there taking advantage of certain people and manipulating them as opposed to actually being entertaining, but that’s not an “influencer” problem, that’s just a people problem. That happens in every industry with human interaction.

Plenty of influencers just post content they think their followers will like and use that following to make money as well. And a lot of the time, their followers actually enjoy the things they advertise.

And the great thing is if you don’t like the concept, you can just not follow them.

Geez the pacing of the original is ridiculous. I could never sit through whole episodes of that lol. I might try out One Pace

Definitely, but I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of those 1000 episodes could be cut without losing much of the plot.

I’ve always been interested in One Piece but just can’t commit to that long of a show. I wonder if they plan to tell the story more succinctly (which might be difficult since my understanding is the story isn’t finished yet). If they do, I might check this out

I get your point, but I think lemm.ee is still so much smaller than lemmy.world that it’s not much of a problem (at least not yet).

Is there a reason everyone decided to start watching Suits?

This is part of the reasons behind unions. Unions won’t work with companies that use non-union members usually. So they could probably find new (worse) writers but then they’d likely have a hard time getting the old writers back even after the strike. If it was as simple as just hiring new people, union strikes would never work.

It’s not like the strategically interviewed people they think could give them the anecdotes that were already in the book, the two people that are central to the story (including the person Taron Egerton plays) helped in the screenwriting process. The movie (and I assume the book) are literally about them. They are fully allowed to give out anecdotes for a multiple projects. It’s their life, they can tell as many people as they want.

Sure it’s possible Apple did that, but it’s not about what’s possible, it’s about what you have evidence to prove. It’s also possible this is someone looking to get 15 minutes of fame or hoping they’ll not care much and just settle (which is possible). Or maybe they’re just bitter that they had a good idea but someone else had the same good idea and made way more money off of it. All of those possibilities have equal amounts of evidence supporting them.

What makes you suspect the people they hired to provide first-hand accounts wouldn’t have done so? They wouldn’t even need to prove that they did, just the fact they had a source they could’ve gotten the information from would be sufficient, as long as the sources don’t testify that they explicitly didn’t give them that information.

And like I said, the story reads like that without much fluff. He may have been the first one to sell a book written like that but it’s not a huge leap at all. I got the same vibe just from reading facts on Wikipedia.

I’m not sure what your last paragraph means. The author can prove he sent the book to the Tetris Company but I find it unlikely he currently has any evidence that Apple read the book and used it in the screenplay. Tetris could’ve easily immediately rejected the book without reading it because they already planned to sell the rights to someone, in fact that’s very common with large companies, specifically to protect themselves from lawsuits like this.

It might get settled, but that would only be because Apple wouldn’t want the press or there’s evidence that hasn’t been revealed yet.
