No, it's not the "opposite of cringe" and it's not an alt-right dog whistle. It just means the person or group is willing to do the right thing, above politics or greed. It's more comparable to Giga Chad, but it's more accurate to say that Giga Chad when used in memes is the representation of a based individual.

Also, "alt-right" is a dog whistle for "white supremacist", invented by a white supremacist to soften the language. Stop using it. Just call them white supremacists or fascists.

  1. The prosecuting state asks for the indicted person to return within a reasonable timeframe and face their allegations
  2. The indicted person flees the country
  3. The end

Much be nice to be rich where you do crime, go anywhere you want, and escape the punishment. No federal no-fly list to be put on because it's all state charges.

That's the stock market, bay-bee!

Except – The expiration date can be extended by just continuing to use the IP – Ever wondered why movies get remakes/reimaginings every 30 years or so? We meme about them being “Out of ideas”, but really it’s so they can hold down their copyright.

No, that's just wrong. At one point, early Marvel contracts had clauses that allowed the movie producer to keep the contract going if they continued to put out movies. When Marvel got big (post-Iron Man), they had been trying to claw back those contracts. That's why Fox kept putting out an X-Man movie every few years, and Sony kept putting out Spiderman.

But, that has nothing to do with copyrights, and all of the remakes are just shit that Hollywood does for memberberries.

Is this really any better? Or this? Or this?

Put face on thumbnail, big text to sell subject, have some goofy reaction shot. It's not really an exception here.

Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis said late Monday that former President Donald Trump and his 18 allies who were indicted on 41 felony counts have until noon ET on Friday, Aug. 25 to turn themselves in or an arrest warrant will be issued.

Why not, you know, fucking arrest them like a normal person?

I swear the Dave Chappelle skit is just proving its accuracy at this point.

The Matrix Reloaded was full of action scenes that still haven't been matched, and I liked the story, even if it was a bit bonkers at times.

The Matrix Revolutions was... disappointing. Big battle scenes had already been overdone at that point, the story was just getting stretched too thin, and dialogue was laughable at critical moments.

Trump fucked over Afghanistan by working with the Taliban on the Doha Agreement. He didn't give a shit about the people there, just that it would look good for him when the US were finally out of Afghanistan.

This whole article reads like a troll, and I disagree with its long-winded opinion. B5 is still a great series.

This has been the case since Debian was launched, decades ago.

You think Google thought about robots.txt before they developed their search engine? Nah, it's all public Internet, and they scraped away.

A non-zero percentage of web sites will bother to follow these instructions, but it might as well be zero.

Judges are still going to take reasonable interpretations of the language into context, though.
