I never said harassment was worse. In the first sentence I agree with OP's statement.

However, the reason most of the assailants are not in jail is not because their crime wasn't worse, it's because they are minors. The 19 year-old assailant got 2,5 years jail-time and no probation. The others got between 0,5 and 2 years on probation, which is arguably worse than 3 days in jail.

So, no the headline is not accurate.

Edit: I just reread your post... you think the victim got jail time over harassing her assailants?! That's what these rage-bait headlines do. It's not about what actually happened. It's about triggering the preconceptions of the consumers and pushing them farther into the extremes.

Yes, we do agree on that.

The assailants were minors and thus mostly got probation sentences. That's due to German law. This was criticized widely.

Are you allowed to find out the mobile number of the perpetrators and harass them on WhatsApp? Well, not under German law. Two wrongs don't make a right and so on. It's true that she did not get the leniency the assailants got, because she is not a minor (and had been caught stealing before). She was sentenced to a weekend in jail. That is 3 days.

Are both cases comparable and allow us to draw larger conclusions from the differences in their sentencing? I don't think so. They are completely different and only linked by the victim of the latter being a perpetrator of the first.

It does make for a sensational headline, though!

It's a hyper loop!

Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don't quite understand how this works without any login as I can't vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I'm logged in to an instance?

I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.

Definitely worth it even without the community patches!

Haven't been following current anime. Started watching Dungeon Meshi because I like the idea and it looked fun. Absolutely in love with it.

To scratch the fantasy anime itch between episodes I started watching Frieren: Beyond journey's end. Hooked me with the first episode and has only been getting better!

I did heighten the phrasing for comedic purposes. I mean essayists like Lindsay Ellis ;)

I like Kess for her colors and the ability to recast the reanimator spells from the graveyard, but you're right she has no builtin reanimation and she has the same weakness as the reanimator strategy, which is graveyard hate. Still I think I want to keep her as the commander.

Among my creatures I have some with immediate impact: Sphinx of Uthuun,Kederekt Leviathan, Sphinx of the Second Sun and arguably Brainstealer Dragon.

I could add Diluvian Primordial and Sepulchral Primordial though they're only impactful later in the game. I was also thinking about Triplicate Titan and Ancient Stone Idol, because they are harder to remove. Also on the list is Nezahal, Primal Tide or Inkwell Leviathan.

Any other suggestions?

Sounds to me like a classic Reanimator strategy might just not be viable in a casual 4-player format. Maybe I need to lean more into the spellslinger side.

Do you have more examples of the type of disruption you would run in something like that? I was thinking of Sire of Insanity, but that's almost a lock condition in a casual game and would probably upset a lot of players.

Yeah, I'm running all of the filter & loot I can, but that leaves little space for counter spells and other protection. I think squeezing in Swiftfoot Boots is a good idea because they stay on the board. Not sure about Whispersilk Cloak, because of the mana investment, but I guess I do save a lot of mana cheating the fatties in and unblockable is a neat addition.

Love this game! Comes closer to the original Diablo gameplay than any other game in my opinion

I want to add that the box office income is simply one of the only objective metrics to compare the success of films.
