I’m finding out from this that it’s owned by the same company but Hinge has a better formula for that kind of thing. You comment on an aspect of their profile (a picture, their response to a prompt, etc) and that gets sent to them. Then they can reply (which triggers a “match”) or not. You can also send likes without a comment but obviously that won’t be as effective.
To put that into perspective, the oldest known permanent human settlement is about 25,000 years old. The Bronze Age wouldn’t start for another ~20,000 years, so they wasn’t any metal working.
I’ve definitely been high and misunderstood simple concepts before. But I handle that but not trying to have complicated discussions on world economics while I’m high. It’s pretty easy to avoid
It says excluding Vatican City, which makes sense, but it just makes me want to know how bad the ratio is for there.
Geez the pacing of the original is ridiculous. I could never sit through whole episodes of that lol. I might try out One Pace
Definitely, but I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of those 1000 episodes could be cut without losing much of the plot.
I’ve always been interested in One Piece but just can’t commit to that long of a show. I wonder if they plan to tell the story more succinctly (which might be difficult since my understanding is the story isn’t finished yet). If they do, I might check this out
I liked Mayim for Celebrity Jeopardy, but I am interested in seeing Ken’s interactions with the celebrities. I think his wit will make for a great show.
Is there a reason everyone decided to start watching Suits?
Honestly, it still works even if it was a specific soup, this just makes it much better.
I think they meant that they will drive him home in the front seat. The article seems to be written within the same week as the accident, I can’t imagine he’s been released from the hospital yet.
This is part of the reasons behind unions. Unions won’t work with companies that use non-union members usually. So they could probably find new (worse) writers but then they’d likely have a hard time getting the old writers back even after the strike. If it was as simple as just hiring new people, union strikes would never work.
It’s not like the strategically interviewed people they think could give them the anecdotes that were already in the book, the two people that are central to the story (including the person Taron Egerton plays) helped in the screenwriting process. The movie (and I assume the book) are literally about them. They are fully allowed to give out anecdotes for a multiple projects. It’s their life, they can tell as many people as they want.
Sure it’s possible Apple did that, but it’s not about what’s possible, it’s about what you have evidence to prove. It’s also possible this is someone looking to get 15 minutes of fame or hoping they’ll not care much and just settle (which is possible). Or maybe they’re just bitter that they had a good idea but someone else had the same good idea and made way more money off of it. All of those possibilities have equal amounts of evidence supporting them.
What makes you suspect the people they hired to provide first-hand accounts wouldn’t have done so? They wouldn’t even need to prove that they did, just the fact they had a source they could’ve gotten the information from would be sufficient, as long as the sources don’t testify that they explicitly didn’t give them that information.
And like I said, the story reads like that without much fluff. He may have been the first one to sell a book written like that but it’s not a huge leap at all. I got the same vibe just from reading facts on Wikipedia.
I’m not sure what your last paragraph means. The author can prove he sent the book to the Tetris Company but I find it unlikely he currently has any evidence that Apple read the book and used it in the screenplay. Tetris could’ve easily immediately rejected the book without reading it because they already planned to sell the rights to someone, in fact that’s very common with large companies, specifically to protect themselves from lawsuits like this.
It might get settled, but that would only be because Apple wouldn’t want the press or there’s evidence that hasn’t been revealed yet.
They had multiple people that experienced these things first hand helping develop the script. So even if there isn’t a published article, they easily could’ve just been told by a first hand source.
He submitted the book to the Tetris Company, but Apple is who he’s suing. Also, it’s fairly common for large companies to receive unsolicited materials and reject them without reviewing them in order to protect themselves from lawsuits like this.
But yeah, if any evidence comes up in discovery, that would change things.
So his claim is just that they copied the “spy thriller” tone of his book? I did a single PowerPoint slide on Tetris last year and got a pretty similar vibe from the Wikipedia page, so I don’t think it’s impossible they came up with that independently. Ultimately I think it’ll be difficult to prove unless there are fictional scenes in both that are fairly similar. Anything that actually happened that’s similar he couldn’t prove they got from his book. All this to say it’s definitely not impossible they were inspired by his book, I imagine stuff like that happens all the time. I’m just not sure he will be able to prove that enough to win.
Yeah I think OP is looking at this from the wrong way. As opposed to a normal game you’ve never played before in which you have to learn the mechanics completely from scratch, with BG3, if you have any knowledge of 5e, you’ll be able to pick it up easier.
Yeah tons of people use the label “bisexual” even though by strict definition they might actually be pan. And that’s totally fine, you don’t always have to use the most specific terminology.
Also, aren’t executive orders still subject to Supreme Court rulings? What would stop them from just overruling it again?
