Jesus Christ, I'm glad to hear about this.

er...not quite it seems. looks like suit and another youtube by the name of joy (or something, check suits latest videos for more info) have now come under attack from daddyofive for what appears to be privacy related problems.

off topic: seeing that the following story is now part of a series of stories. i wonder how well these might work in comic form. good? bad? so-so?

Twilight's Bathroom is Flooded With Semen o_O dragons are awesome, aren't they? though sometimes in some seriously "wtf?" kind of ways.
Twilight's Bathroom is Flooded with Soft Hands this one's a little...strange but what can really be said of magical mishaps?
Twilight's Palace is Covered With Semen
Twilight's Kitchen is Stocked With Semen
Twilight's Kingdom is smothered in Semen uh... lol i don't think luna appreciates the uh..."offering" twilight.
Octavia Is Getting Sick of All This Semen

might be 1 or 2 more coming eventually (i'm sure someone will continue and/or end this prank war).

rewatching old and new episodes of AVGN.

edit: question:

can a person have dark brown hair on the top of their head while also having a bright red beard?

cause if not, i just saw a pic of some muslim dude wearing a fake beard. lol i'm fairly certain it's fake.

pic note the color of the rest of the facial hair as well as the hair under the hat. all brown and/or grey... so why is that beard so bright red? another oddity is on the right side along the side burn is a dark line.

it seems rather odd that the rest of his hair would be brown while he's sporting that flaming red beard.

Like when he didn't know to type RUN on the C64 and rated the game because of that.

Or not knowing Simon's Quest has three endings.

Or leaving out almost all of Superman 64, wasting so many joke opportunities.

That's not a fake beard, it's a photoshop.

Whirlpool Washer Carnage - Metal Mix up by TradieTrev

lol anyone here ever seen a washing machine destroy itself? here's something i remembered from a couple years ago that's...surprisingly fun to watch. that thing starts bouncing like a chain chomp towards the end.

that is one strong washing machine.

edit: it calms down a bit once that thing on the back rattles off but one that door open that thing just flips out completely.

Being gay is not mutually exclusive to legal trouble, you just don't hear it as often because being homosexual is not the norm. I was in a past relationship with someone and he was very uncomfortable to be around. Needless to say, he could have gotten in trouble for what he did to me, but if I had reported it the police they would most likely just laugh and dismiss it.

If you think that deserves notice, do not search with established fetish terms then. Literal hentai games make it under the radar, some even uncensored (but those usually go away).

oh, i'd believe it. curiosity has shown me plenty that gets through on youtube. such as "how to use a condom"... educational, maybe, but...that's not a cucumber or banana you're using there. and it's not censored in the slightest. o_O annnd it's probably still there even now, months and months after i came across it.

Working out, you don't have to do anything like p90x or similar workouts. Just the basics like push-ups, squats, leg lifts, crunches, get some adjustable dumb bells and go bike riding/jogging. You may not build the biggest muscles but you will get some definition and if you are persistent and you can get pretty cut. I'm a lazy person and it took me longer then I would like to admit to get to the point were I was doing a decent workout. Just start off slow, keep at it and get where you want to be. It doesn't take much exercise to make you feel better about yourself.

Doing nice things for other people really makes me happy. Whether it's helping them move, loaning money for their bills, helping out with household chores, or just being there for them when they need somebody to talk to. There's really no better feeling in the world to me.

20 lb. dumbbell used in various ways
100+ pushups, short break, another 100+
squats...

the dumbbell stuff was effortless within a years time and has remained that way so the motivation kinda went with the effort required to use it :/ but aside from that really is amazing what kind of results just simple basic workout can do for you.

i can go and pretty much pick up an entire load of groceries out of the car sometimes when it's mostly bags. easily as heavier than that lil' dumbbell and that's just with 1 arm. and that's usually a big load of groceries too. at least 10-20 bags sometimes with heavy stuff in them. still not as heavy as a bunch of plastic water bottles though. those things weigh a LOT! usually have to get that on my shoulder to carry it.

well, to a certain point, yeah. right now i'm at the point where exercising is pretty "meh" and any chores/yard work/etc. i do requires barely, if, any real effort on my part.

actually, when emptying a full dishwasher load, i can have it emptied and everything put away in a fraction of the time it normally takes me when i actually try and do it as quick as possible.

it gets kinda boring when it gets that easy. :/

i was just reminded of one of those old, big fanfics i read several years ago.

Super Mario Apocalypse by Zhaich

it took him ~8 years to finish it (it's in 4 parts) and while it's not as lengthy as TDR's Stories in Stone MLP;FIM fanfic series, it's VERY good. think i might reread it myself some time.

given that it takes place during the end of the world it's pretty bleak a lot of the time but it does have a happy ending... getting to that ending though...that's the hard part by far.

Zhaich had some interesting views on the world when making this story and it shows.

So, so many things in this world make me happy.
But to name some main ones: my friends, furry art with an art style that has a ton of emotion, music from bands such as Soundgarden, stories, random posts, quality food, the things I can buy with money, Littlest Pet Shop, so on and so forth.

Learning the name of a song that I've heard hundreds of times before but never once heard it being mentioned by name. This has happened a lot of times after I started playing Piano Tiles 2.

Example scenario:

*Unlocks Csikos Post *

Hmm... Never heard of this song before. Let's try it out.

*5 seconds in*

Wait a minute. I've heard this somewhere before!

Updated by anonymous

Realizing I know how a song goes even though I didn't know I've heard it. Basically heard the theme of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 for the first time since Season 1, when I was a small child. I heard the first four notes and didn't see the screen, and I was like "Wait, I know this song. I know this entire song, but I don't think I've ever heard this before. Oh shit, it's that space thing I watched when I thought it was just always night."

this might work in japan but here in the US? keep dreaming... the feminazis and SJWs will be all over this like hungry piranhas...angry piranhas.

well, maybe not the feminazis since it's a womens sport but SJWs will likely come up with something to complain about.

still, putting it in this thread cause i figured some of you guys might like this news.

No, the feminazis would still put a stop to it by claiming it objectifies women.

I'm wondering what would happen if a male version of this was made alongside this. I doubt feminazis and SJWs would have any issue with guys bum-barging each other but when it comes to the women, they would have to make a decision between allowing women to be in a position where they can be ogled and excluding them from the sport just because they're women. Or maybe they'd make the sheilas wear full-body covering while the blokes wear budgie smugglers.

Just with some fancy form of lettering that allows for half-height capitals.

Edit: Can anybody paraphrase a transcript of that all in normal English? H3H3 likes making weird noises in the middle of sentences and both they and Suit like to use weird words that make no sense even with context so I have no idea what they're trying to say.

Reading through game reviews and reporting the ones that bitch about a game not being diverse enough. Race almost never has anything to do with these games and if you're the kind of racist who can't identify with a character because their skin is the wrong color then that's your problem. Ditto for gender, sexuality, etc.

Everything in the original h3h3 video makes sense, although legalese from the court documents may need legal training to fully understand all its intended implications.

H3h3 was sued for three main reasons ("claims"): copyright infringement, misrepresentation, and defamation.

Infringement Claim

The judge said h3h3's reaction video did not infringe on the copyright of the video they were reacting to because H3h3's video met the criteria of Fair Use. H3h3's reaction video used clips from Hoss's video, but H3h3 also offered enough "comment and critique" to change the original meaning of those clips ("transformative"). "Because the Klein video does not 'offer[] a substitute for the original,' it does not (and indeed, cannot) 'usurp a market that properly belongs to the copyright-holder.'" That means H3h3's video provides a sufficiently different viewing experience than the original video, so H3h3's video doesn't steal the would-be viewers ("usurp a market") of Hoss's video (for the purposes of ad revenue, merchandise sales--whatever Hoss would use that "market" for).

Misrepresentation Claim

H3h3 skipped the judge's ruling on the misrepresentation claim, which alleged that H3h3's counter-takedown notice misrepresented H3h3's copyright over their reaction video. Basically, Hoss claimed H3h3's video, H3h3 claimed it back (? the counter-takedown), and the misrepresentation is Hoss saying, "no, I own your reaction video anyways", I think. They both can't be right, so Hoss accused H3h3 of abusing DMCA's mechanisms, which is apparently a separate offense from copyright infringement. Since the judge found H3h3's reaction video not in violation of Hoss's copyright, the misrepresentation claim couldn't be true and was invalid.

Defamation Claim

The defamation claim was basically grasping straws, and seemed to use for evidence comments from H3h3 in a separate "Lawsuit" video (a video from H3h3 announcing the lawsuit). In order for the defamation claim to succeed, H3h3 must have stated some "false facts" ("actionable opinions", I Googled that one ) about Hoss. The judge found that whatever false facts Hoss accused H3h3 of stating were either opinions or would not have changed the public's opinion of Hoss, so H3h3's comments didn't fit the legal definition of defamation. The judge also found reason to disagree with Hoss's ("hyper-literal", "strained", "unsupported") interpretation of H3h3's comments.

Footnote

The judge also offered a potentially precedent-setting comment on the Fair Use status of the reaction video genre. "Some reaction videos, like the Klein video, intersperse short segments of another's work with criticism and commentary, while others are more akin to a group viewing session without commentary. Accordingly, the Court is not ruling here that all 'reaction videos' constitute fair use." On the one hand, the judge made a distinction between types of reactions videos, further implying that not all reaction videos are Fair Use. On the other hand, we know H3h3's video is Fair Use for the reasons stated by the judge, so H3h3's reaction video may become a de facto legal example of Fair Use reaction videos (and maybe broader commentaries) if this issue is brought to court again.

Disclaimer telling people not to be idiots make unfounded assumptions that I might have any legal training (I don't) just because I offered an interpretation of a legal document. Here's an 87 minute video, which I haven't watched, from a lawyer who has followed this case from the beginning.
