    The part of the contract that is obviously unenforceable is the idea that signing up for a Disney+ trial a year ago forces you into binding arbitration over an issue at a Disney theme park today.

    Disney really shot themselves in the foot by even trying to claim this. They have a much, much stronger claim (morally still abhorrent, and legally still far from certain, but much better) with the fact that he had signed up for a Disney app in connection to the theme park itself. If they had stuck to only that claim they’d have an equal chance of legal success, and not gotten nearly as much bad press.

    It tells you the domain right under the title.

    You can also click on the page title or the domain to get the full URL of the image, which in this case is the domain /media/{some_id}.jpeg.

    If you’re on a mobile app it might be a little more difficult, because they usually don’t directly show you the domain. But you can go looking for it by trying to share or copy the link (not the permalink, which will be a link to either your or the OP’s Lemmy instance /post/{some_id}).

    What’s going on with the domain this image is hosted on? It looks to be hosting an ActivityPub-compliant server running software called “Incestoma”, and Googling to find more about that turned up some other instances with very…problematic names or descriptions, like

    trigger warning

    rape.pet, which being charitable (because it’s impossible to actually browse without an account, as far as I can find) could just be fetish/BDSM

    A community that goes by the “pediverse”, based on a Google snippet of a wiki that I refuse to click on to find out more about

    A bunch with references to “loli” in their domain names

    Sorry for derailing the cow hypnosis. It just stuck out to me as weird and sent me down an even weirder rabbit hole. I dunno if there’s a better place to point it out.










  • I’m not familiar with Wright’s. I’ll have to go look it up.

    But yes, absolutely. I think that Knox’s rules are actually even less rules and more guidelines than many other writing “rules”, such as Chekhov’s gun, are. And even those are only guidelines. Basically all of Knox’s rules were specific examples of popular tropes at the time, where the real underlying issue was “don’t make a mystery story where the solution is impossible to figure out even in hindsight by throwing in what is essential a deus ex machina”.
