i had a dream aziz ansari was getting cut up by an evil lady and he was worried that the scars were too close to his nipples and people would think hes trans. or emo.
@onionweigher@Jaq0fHearts This is a commonly repeated myth, but the Ottomans really only blocked the route when they conquered Syria in response to Portuguese attacks on Aden. Portugal and Spain had already been trying for like 100 years cause the Italians had exclusive deals with Armenians in Syria.
@Al3xH3r064@godspeed_aflame This book named after the demon of warfare, written during nuclear escalation, where child war refugees break into two factions over control of fire and then turn violent after witnessing an air battle was probably intended to be a critique of uhh... Hitler and the British.
@Mariofeds219163@SamolBilly@CantEverDie This wasn't just any office space though. It was in two big buildings which evilly dominated the skyline and terrorized the world with sinister messages about how to unjam your printer.
@vennixfallenten@zekromaster@ZP730@Sir_CowMC Minecraft dodged this issue filing for its trademark before release instead of 8 years later. This is because Notch recognized that "Cave Game" and "a game like dwarf fortress" would probably be ruled descriptive.
@zekromaster@ZP730@vennixfallenten@Sir_CowMC No, it isn't genericization because the court decision explicitly says that it is not genericization. There's no technicality here. The court rejected the application because the term is descriptive. The decision is 5 sentences long.
@zekromaster@ZP730@vennixfallenten@Sir_CowMC Skyblock did not get genericized. The UPSTO found the term too descriptive to be recognized as a trademark. Genericization is when a company fails to show effort that they are protecting a fanciful term like Xerox. What he did is like trying to file for 'Microwave Cleaner'.
@nya_marisa@StatisticUrban People typically develop cardiovascular diseases well after they are done reproducing. I bet the gene makes the holder slightly more attractive or causes a childhood disease that is now completely prevented by modern medicine.
@MinModulation I don't know about antiquity, but during the medieval and early modern periods it wasn't uncommon for soldiers to bring along their wives to help them do it.
@asubparusername@PedagogyMaxima No he's got a point here. The Soviet's Pacific fleet was about 1% the size of Japan's and has never won a battle so Japan's surrender and perhaps the heat death of the universe would have likely happened before the Soviets landed.
@UMN79573628@asubparusername 200,000 is acceptable collateral damage when it prevents 2 million Allied civilian deaths from famine that even one more month of war would bring.
