I mean, actively silencing people because they can’t afford a lawyer to defend themselves is pretty much all you need to be a piece of shit. Parody has repeatedly been upheld as fair use, however you still have to appear and defend yourself and that takes time and money, more than most people have. So in effect C&D letters become one sided sledgehammers when used against average people.

To be fair, she’s heavily protected, to the point where criticism will get you banned and she throws around cease and desist letters to anyone parodying her work.
She has more than earned the scorn she gets, she just also happens to be a woman on the internet and that comes with sexism by default.

politics @lemmy.world•USA Today has published a database of license plates that have been searched with FlockEnglish
19·4 days agoYou do realize that license plates are government issued plates attached to your identity and that they keep lists of those plates…right?
Because it would be incredibly silly if you thought otherwise.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•will you join in Halloween night to De-FLOCK your community?English
12·14 days agoJust because it’s super important.
DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRIMES YOU COMMIT OR POST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
There are two types of criminals, those that keep their mouth shut and those getting arrested.
If you somehow get approached by police, DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Explicitly state that you want a lawyer to represent you and that you will not be speaking or answering any questions. The only questions you have to legally answer (in most jurisdictions) is to identify yourself. Once you have done that, ask for a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
There’s a time and place to talk and it’s with your lawyer present.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials?English
66·26 days agoThere has yet to be a single group that has not been lampooned by SP. You take umbrage with it because it’s finally targeted a group you care about.
Hell, you can be trans in the South Park game and the entire community rallies around to support you.
Just because you are not rah-rah-rah cheered 24/7 by literally everyone and everything does not mean something is transphobic. It’s was just your turn on the mocking wheel, which is good, it means you’re being treated just like everyone else. Which is the entire fucking point, that you’re no different from any other human.

21·1 month agoTrust me, Vance is going to be much worse. Trump is a known entity, he’s going to do whatever benefits him in money and vanity.
Vance is a fucking snake, he holds no opinion outside of whatever Peter Thiel has told him to do.
It’s quite literally the devil you know vs the one you don’t.

36·1 month agoA man walked to the newspaper stand to buy a copy every single day. The man would take one look at the cover then simply throw the paper into the trash and go about his day.
Eventually the shopkeep became curious after months of this behavior and he decided to ask the guy what he was doing.
“Looking for an obituary.” the man replied.
“Obituaries are in the back of the paper, not the cover.” the shopkeeper said, a little confused.
“Not the obituary I’m look for.” was the response.

4·1 month agoOnce I got my MSI Claw I’ve pretty much stopped using anything else for emulation. It plays everything up to Switch games easily. The Vita and the PSP were massive until that point though.

Stretch and exercise.
It’s going to determine how long you live 99% of the time. Yes there are those rare people that can smoke 20 packs a day and live to 110, that’s not you.
If you don’t start stretching and exercising now, you’re not going to see past 60 and your life from 40+ is going to be nothing but pain, doctors visits and expensive medicine until eventually you die.
So just go do 10 minutes stretching and 20 minutes of exercise.
