  The meat of the issue

  on One Restaurant Sends Cease And Desist To Another Over The Word 'Juicy'

  Does that mean that Longhorn Cafe LLC can be sued by Matt's Bar in Minneapolis, home of the original Juicy Lucy?

  The Hammer

  on Copyright Troll Richard Liebowitz Says It's Really Unfair That He Should Have To Tell Clients And Courts How Frequently He's Been Caught Lying In Court

  When they make the movie of this, and they should, the judge should be played by the actor who played the judge from Ghostbusters 2 and in the same manner.

  Too many what now?

  on Ironically, Too Many Video Streaming Choices May Drive Users Back To Piracy

  The issue isn't that there's too many steaming options. The issue is that what I want to watch is spread over too many services. I don't watch anything on HBO except GoT. So, I have no incentive to pay $10 a month or whatever just to see it. I don't watch anything on CBS but Discovery (which I swiftly stopped caring about) so I have no incentive to pay their monthly rates, either. I watch a ton of stuff on Netflix and would prefer the stuff I watch to me on that. Yes, I know. Business models and all that. But I don't care. It's not convenient for me to shell out so much for so little. So, now that Disney is yanking its Marvel stuff away, I'm not going to pay extra for what I used to have. If it's not on the service I use regularly, I either get the dvds of the entire season or I find... other means. I refuse to be penalized because they were late to the game.

  The Real Problem

  on If You Think Big Internet Companies Are Somehow To Blame For The New Zealand Massacre, You're Wrong

  The real problem is that people are more pissed that videos of a massacre exists than that the massacre took place. Priorities, people!

  on Thomas Goolnik Gets Google To Forget Our Story About Him Getting Google To Forget Stories About Thomas Goolnik
  Looks like someone wants attention. We need www.ThomasGoolnik.com and similar sites full of info on him. We need a hashtag #ThingsThomasGoolnikDoesntWantYouToKnow. This man needs to be made an example of.

  It's a simple solution

  on Conservatives: Stop Crying Wolf On Tech Bias Or No One Will Ever Take You Seriously
  *Cues up video of Liar, Liar where Jim Carrey is giving legal advice to a career criminal*
  
  If Trump and his followers don't like all the negative news they find about Trump, maybe Trump should, oh I don't know, STOP DOING NEGATIVE SHIT!
  
  You've got the leader of the free world (tm):
  -Giving cushy jobs to his cronies
  -Appointing completely unqualified people to head up institutions they seem hell-bent on destroying
  -Insulting leaders of other countries, especially our allies
  -Coloring a Crayon-by-Number flag of his nation wrong
  -Complaining about people exercising their Constitutional rights
  -Making his watchdogs out to be the enemy
  -Firing or removing clearances from anyone who disagrees with him
  -Promising to 'drain the swamp' yet invites a whole cadre of Shreks to surround him and run his campaign
  -Gives every appearance of using the Office for personal gain
  -Golfing more than any other President in history despite his promise to not do so
  -Doing everything possible to help his business buddies instead of the people
  -Continuously bringing up his winning the election because he himself apparently still doesn't believe it
  -Calling tyrants and dictators "strong" and "talented"
  
  With a list like this, it's no wonder that we focus on his negative accomplishments. Virtually everything 'good' that I've seen in the news that he's done so far has been shown to have either a) been done by someone else and he's claiming the credit, b) was already done and in the works and he's claiming the credit, or c) his Office literally has no effect on something yet claims he did it.

  on Romance Novelist Secures Trademark For Word 'Cocky,' Begins Beating Other Novelists Over The Head With It
  A 1 hour and 40 minute live rant. I watched 5 minutes and decided that sovereign citizens make more sense.

  The ride never ends

  on Romance Novelist Secures Trademark For Word 'Cocky,' Begins Beating Other Novelists Over The Head With It
  The changed title of "The Cockiest Cowboy to Have Ever Cocked." reminds me of the old History of the Word: F@*K where it is stated that it can be used as almost every word in the sentence.
  
  F@*k the f@*king f@*kers.

  Streisand at its finest!

  on Appeals Court Can't Decide Whether It Should Protect Critic's Anonymity, Boots Free Speech Case Back To Lower Court
  Great, now I want to find this guy just to read his blog against MLMs and SMT. Looks like the lawsuit is really doing its job to stifle awareness of themselves.

  Responsible enough?

  on The Cyber World Is Falling Apart And The DOJ Is Calling For Weakened Encryption
  Gov't: We need responsible encryption.
  
  Techs: Well, the responsible thing to do would be to make it as impossible to crack as we can, so we'll do that.
  
  Gov't: No, no no. What we mean is that we need a secure backdoor so that we can get in easily.
  
  Techs: ... Um. Oh, I know! That means you want it so secure that NOBODY can get in!
  
  Gov't: That's not what we said!
  
  Techs: I always keep a deep freezer behind my back door. Ain't NOBODY gettin' in that way.
  
  Gov't: *sobbing softly* We just want to have more access to data.
  
  Techs: Not to worry. Star Trek: The Next Generation is on Netflix! You'll have plenty of access to Data. Now, come over here before you hurt yourself. Here's something shiny to play with.

  The Denial is Strong with this One

  on City Officials Step Up After DOJ Told To Stop Worrying About Civil Rights Violations By Law Enforcement Agencies
  I can envision Jeff Sessions, hanging by one hand over the precipice of Public Opinion, shouting to a large black man holding a copy of the Furguson Report "No! That's not true! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"

  on James Comey's New Idea: An International Encryption Backdoor Partnership
  "His latest backdoor idea was floated at a national security symposium at the University of Texas" and he was laughed off the fucking stage; is how the sentence should have ended.

  on Telegram Now Being Targeted By Politicians Because Terrorists (Also) Use It
  So, people are upset that they can't read messages terrorists send to each other because they got them kicked off of services terrorists used that we COULD read from? I think we deserve everything we get at this point.

  Funny thing is, every tech device already has a built-in porn filter. It's called an Off Switch.

  This just in: some people lie on the internet. In other news, water is wet.
