Surely. I'd wonder if it is deemed enforceable by a federal judge. I guess it doesn't matter with this supreme court.

Users paid, and no longer play.

Seems kinda theftish.

IANAL.

Perhaps a class action lawsuit could set that precedent.

Maybe they should have just done a dollar a month subscription that goes along with the game or give that as an option now to keep the server alive.

Even if it's a couple bucks sure the most faithful adherence of the game would not really mind paying it. The biggest problem for me here is that they're totally removing the consumer's agency, their choice.

I agree with what someone else said in this thread that if the support goes away then the server's code should go open source. By law.

Maybe, that's what they called it in the episode 200 (IIRC) of Stargate, so that's what I call it.

They may be opposites.

I don't know. Lol.

Visually it's very striking how bad that media is that you sowed this in. I have no idea what any of this stuff is really but I can definitely see that it's terrible.

Also, I can see how the DMC floss has a little bit more sheen to it. I bet that it's fibers are smoother and better woven and that makes it have less friction and give it a little bit more sheen and that's why it's easier to work with.

Very good write up! TIL!

It's a play on words assuming that you know both meanings of all 3 words, which the audience clearly did.

Also, it was during a time when people were becoming more aware of queer rights and those words were becoming offensive to more Americans, part of the joke, kinda like "you should never say this in the US, but in the UK it's totally acceptable because all the words have different meanings than in the US"

It's also a play on linguistic drift as mentioned in another post. It's also hanging a lantern on how unacceptable that kind of language had become and in that sense was progressive.

I cannot think of a way that joke flies in the US today unless in a meta context of old jokes, which this meme attempts.

Hopefully this explanation has made the joke completely unfunny at this point.

Hahahahh

An adorable robot designed to capture the hearts of all who see it. This robot stands in a cheerful pose, with big, expressive eyes that sparkle with curiosity. Its body is sleek and metallic, with a glossy finish that reflects the surrounding environment. It has two small, rounded ears at the top of its head, giving it a friendly, approachable appearance. The robot's arms and legs are slightly oversized for its body, adding to its cute, cartoonish vibe. It's surrounded by a soft glow, emphasizing its friendly demeanor in a whimsical, futuristic setting.

...we meet again. Still working on that plateau.

My wife and I took "baby belly" pics together. Can relate. Stuck at 230 trying hard to break the plateau.
