Jukin settled because it was more profitable than going to court. They don't want to actually go to court. If you look at the two times they did go to court they got less than they would have gotten out of court by a hellavalot. They didn't settle because of public opinion they settled because mxr pushed back and they ran away with what money they could get ahold of

Lel Jukin as a company doesn't care about public opinion. The potential for profit from upcharging YouTubers a under duress is hella more than they would make just selling clip licenses legitimately. Their profit isn't determined by the court of public opinion at all

If the building is on fire and you have to get down to the ground floor having clothes on decreases your chance of getting a serious burn if something on fire or very hot brushes against your body in a place that would be covered had you not been naked.
Would serve a similar purpose in other emergency situations in that it would make probably the least life threatening part of it less dangerous.

im just gonna copy paste myself from above
"Generally universal health care only gives shitty doctors to the masses because the private industry pays all the good ones far better than be state can hope to do, just look at the U.K, the country that shares the closest cultural similarities to the US in Europe, the NHS is fucking awful and actively avoided at any possible chance with waiting lists long enough that the person supposedly being saved by universal health care dies waiting on their turn. It's just like the America veteran's association health care, an active example of what universal health care would look like in America just with less spread thin resources than universal health care would have, people die because the service is so shit and slow."

That's why they mark up the price a few days before to a degree worse than the result the comic shows, usually it's such that the "marked down" price is more expensive than what it is normally

There are muslims that drink. Most that drink don't during Ramadan but it's not unheard of for muslims to drink.

This depiction of ancalagon is very hyperbolic. His exact size is never given, the only real indicator of his size is that, when felled by earendil, his impact with the ground sundered the towers of thangorodrim which are literal mountains, however this feat was also accomplished by durin's bane, the Balrog slain by Gandalf atop the mountain housing moria and a Balrog was described as being larger than a man but not huge.
The great eagle accompanying earendil had a wing span similar to Smaug so ancalagon would only be 1.5 to 2 times his size and, ancalagon being clearly labeled the largest and greatest of the dragons, it's easy to see that Smaug was actually huge af in scale of Tolkien dragons.

Another factor to consider, Tupac died before the internet became mainstream and as such wasn't making new music to get people to click on and be like "to what's dis dudes other music sound like"

go read about lemmy. He lived to like 70 in perfect health until the week he died after a life of drinking a full bottle of jack a day, smoking 2 packs a day from age 11, fucking everything that moved, doing all of the speed, and never doing anything outside of those things except for a couple concerts a week and sitting on his couch playing video games.
He only at junk food. When his doctors said he was going to start having dehydration problems he start drinking his jack and coke with ice. When they said he was having too much sugar he cut the coke from his jack.

In the cases with =3, he had some clips considered transformative enough and some clips were not however of those that were considered transformative the smallest amount of commentary given was over a full minute.
Mxr very rarely gave that much commentary to any clip at all.
