I dont know, I’ve watched all of Mando and I don’t have Disney+ or a wife, and will never have either. i prefer living in the double sin or torrenting and having a parter I’m not married to
Maybe Pedro will come kick my ass but I’m okay with that.

My wife and I don’t have Disney+ either. We watched the first season of mando and were like…ehhh, let’s rewatch Star Trek.

I’d say this is a clear case of EULA roofing.

Yeonmi Park? I suppose it’d explain a lot if she were.

Park runs the YouTube channel “Voice of North Korea by Yeonmi Park”,[16] which as of July 2023 has over one million subscribers.[3] Her political views have been called “American conservative”,[3] and she has criticized the concepts of political correctness and woke culture in the U.S.,[3] drawing parallels between political correctness in the U.S. and North Korea.
Certainly interesting life path…

Funny, since the conservative overlord Donald Trump seems to love Kim Jong Un…

Kim threatens world with nukes and fires a few missiles into the sea.
Trump and Kim have a summit to ease the tensions.
Kim looks good in DKR because the imperialists have come to beg him not to kill everyone. Trump looks good in America because he got the dictator to back down. They both look good internationally for their positive talks, this means some sanctions can be lifted and more aid can enter DKR.
Both did nothing and both got to benefit from acting like it wasn’t a manufactured crisis with a manufactured solution.

Note that firing a few missiles into the sea, and some (semi-)successful tests does not indicate the capacity to actually hit targets, like say, the continent of North America.
The USSR was never very good at hitting its targets with ICBMs, so they would barrage targets with multiple redundant warheads. They needed twenty missiles to hit a target to our one, a situation that General Electric manipulated to fuel the escalation war between US and USSR in the 1980s. (Reagan was into it, and believed he was going to play a part in God’s Armageddon by launching a retaliatory strike.)
US Polaris missiles are accurate enough to hit a phone booth. It’d be expensive but we could deliver Kim Jong-Un a pizza by Polaris if we really wanted to send a message. (We’d have to find a save place for the ICBM fuselage to drop, and we’d scare the snot out of NATO.)
Because we’ve been kicking the can into the future for so long, regarding dealing with the North Korea problem (which means also an ugly meeting with China), it may be useful to US politicians to allow the fiction that DPRK could attack us if they wanted to, despite how it would not go well for them, even if we responded only with conventional weapons, because yes, it allows Trump (or whoever is in office) to save the US from alleged calamity.
That all said, Trump really liked correspondence with Kim Jong-Un and so by a few letters of flattery Kim was able to secure foreign aid from the US for a while without having to resort to threats of causing disaster. Still, I remember Trump’s fire and fury speech, which made it looking like the US had elected a pro-wrestler to president… I guess we actually did that.

North Korea is good unless it’s bad. Duh
- TimewornTraveler ( @TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee ) 4•1 month ago
Oh she’s a notorious grifter. She makes up ridiculous stories about North Korea for YouTube clicks. Now you aren’t going to catch me defending DPRK like the hexbear dumbasses - I have strong ties to South Korea and Hexbear thinks I suck dick - but she most definitely is a bad faith actor who just says shit for clout.

Strictly speaking, I think Disney is arguing that the case must go through private arbitration first, not that the matter should be dropped entirely. They’re still scumbags. I’m never signing up to Disney plus (or anything else Disney if I can help it) now.

From the article:
"Given that this restaurant is neither owned nor operated by Disney, we are merely defending ourselves against the plaintiff’s attorney’s attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant.”
I don’t have anything to defend or oppose that argument, but if it’s true, why would disney have to be a part of the lawsuit at all? Isn’t it then just a terrible preemptive move to refer to terms of the Disney+ membership?

I’m going to write some new TOS this weekend for myself and the universe.
OK nevermind that is how people start writing a manifesto and i’ve got too much laundry and pickleball to start that bullshit.
