Well obviously the restaurants should all just feel extremely gifted that such a prestigious person was gracing their establishment

/s but that's probably their thought pattern

Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like "how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields" (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).

Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict

And... how is throwing soup at paintings helping this? I didn't say anything about the people/lifestyle they're protesting against, because - guess what - the vast majority of the population are just going to see some idiots throwing soup at a painting and the rest of their message or cause it's then lost.

Soup on a painting, a brick through a window, whatever message you intend is going to get lost in the action of seeking attention

I also wonder what the fuck they're even looking at the site with. Any modern version of Windows can open PDF's without needing to install additional software. If they're using Mac's I'm not sure, but given that Office similarly would need to be installed to open a Word doc I'm pretty sure they could also install a PDF reader at that point ..

It's interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood... especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.

Except this "something else" is just making them look like destructive idiots and not drawing any sort of positive attention to that cause (unless you consider having more destructive idiots join up positive).

Blocking a pipeline development or shipment of dirty coal is at least reasonably related to what they're protesting. This is just "look at me" tactics

It is possible for both sides to be bad. In fact, I'd say it's pretty common with the retaliation and escalation being "justified" by one side in reaction to what was done by another, resulting in forever-conflicts where stoked by individuals who personally benefit from such.

In most cases those supporting one or the other never acknowledge that though.

I'm other words, Hezbollah is garbage. Hamas is garbage. The Israeli government is largely garbage. The fervent supporters of the above that keep them in power... also garbage.

Honestly, if this ever really happened it would be one thing that actually might make me want to see such a rally.

I always looked Galaxy Quest's take on this:

"But the pig-beast is inside out... and now it has exploded."

Meh. Even small corps often do something well once and then fall to the wayside.Nintendo has been pretty good at recreating their core IP, whether it's the 3D version of Metroid on GC or open-world Zelda on Switch.

If they'd actually bought out the Palworld IP (assuming that was an available option) that would have meant cash for the devs and a way to work with it in a way that was unique but inclusive to the Pokemon franchise. A lot of people are getting tired of the latter because it has become rather stagnant, but the new mechanics with the official Pokemon characters/stats/etc could have benefitted both

Nintendo doesn't do that though. They don't go "wow, this looks cool and there's real interest. Maybe we could work with the dev and make it an official product. They've done most of the work already!" It's lawsuits all the way

This just in: car impacts with deer down by 50%, but deer becoming a snack to wolves at night is up 100%
