according to the article, NZ has its own rating system. but the near entirety of the article is just talking about why it was refused classification (which apparently it hasn't been entirely refused yet), and then how other games have skirted around the restrictions (renaming drugs to other things).

market value and moving expenses seems like a no brainer, but it doesn't go nearly far enough. the value that is created from these properties being requisitioned isn't really addressed.

a company deciding they want it at market value, would intrinsically increase the market value pretty significantly. and it's hard to put numbers to it, but if someone were to knock on my door, completely unprompted, I think I would have a hard time packing up and leaving for less than 1.5x market value (plus expenses).

the difference I see here is that the comic isn't really talking about the individual becoming something new, rather it is creating an environment where the false persona is replicated by others.

sure some are formal

yeah. that would be some. now compare those three to the rest of the cast

but doesn't the twilight implementation sorta give you a bunch of counter points from your original argument?

like sure some of them are formal, but it's definitely not solely the 1800s aesthetic you had an issue with.

no its fine, they changed it with amendments. surely over the years they've had a bunch of changes

only 27 amendments

the 18th and 21st amendments just cancel each other out

the most recent amendment was 34 years ago, and was proposed in 1789

yep, amendments are keeping up with the times

careful, they might pull an android and somehow try and stop "sideloading" in windows

I don't love that the headline as well as the first line of the article use the words "says" and "claims".

the jury ruled he was guilty. we're so far past "allegedly" and all that garbage. he did it. she was drugged. she was raped. there is no reason to be inferring any amount of doubt anymore.
