I used to think the Fermi Paradox's solution was that civilisations wiped themselves out due to nuclear war, and that's why there's no life out there.
But now I think... it's stupid. Space is quiet because civilisations just get stupid.

Yup - but Boots staff don't get told about 'national shortage' - that's just an excuse someone's made up on the spot. What they mean is that they in that Boots haven't got the supply. Definitely worthwhile checking with other pharmacies!

...not once in that article does the investor mention anything about games, or creative process, or making good content. It's all about 'maximising corporate value'.

Don't believe Boots they're incredibly unreliable for vaccines and prescriptions. Check your local pharmacies and your GP's nurse practice first.

Oh god stop, stop discussing this I beg of you. We are 5 minutes outside of the station, just sit in glorious silence and enjoy the peace and quiet.

You are entitled to think that - just as I am to say that I think what was done was appropriate - but the fault here is that of the solicitors and trademark granter. They could have put a stop to it right at the start.

Yup, she’s allowed. Again, use the tools at your disposal.

Understood. But then again, when you conduct a campaign online it can and will get used against you. All goes back to the initial advice she received, which was poor. But them's the breaks!

I think even the deli owner was mislead by their solicitor and the trademark office, so it's more a smack at the institutions and daftness. Drawing connections between cultural appropriation and erasure of a culture is entirely appropriate with what's going on in the world at the moment.
