The law doesn't protect people. People protect the law. -- Akane Tsunemori, Psycho-Pass
People's deaths are to be mourned. The ability to save people should be celebrated. Life itself should be exalted. -- Volken Macmani, Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
I hate myself. But maybe I can learn to love myself. Maybe it's okay for me to be here! That's right! I'm me, nothing more, nothing less! I'm me. I want to be me! I want to be here! And it's okay for me to be here! -- Shinji Ikari, Neon Genesis Evangelion
Yes, I know. You thought it would be something about Asuka. You're such idiots.

I'm not surprised -- the entertainment moguls running the industry, being so stuck in the 60s, tend to be insular, proprietary and charge exorbitant fees and contracts for outsiders to use and distribute their media.

Not surprised with yet another anti-nuclear protest in the form of an impromptu pop group. Trying to get a heavily industrialized nation to use anything other than nuclear energy is a very difficult task.

Normally, I would just go on with life, like having done one playthrough and going for another with a different twist... But this particular guy kept his cart and SNES on for 20 years, without a break, determined to keep his game data alive as long as he's breathing:

What a shitstorm would make if someone accidentally unplugged his SNES.

Feh, I'd have read it. (And probably laughed.)
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.
Apophenia. Noun. The tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things.
They called me the Quentin Tarantino of hentai.
The difference between a blow-up doll and a dakimakura.

Assuming that there could be one of us practicing law, how many months or years she'll be facing if found guilty?
Otherwise it's unfortunate she wound up like this, followed by the unrelenting scrutiny of the press (in Japan it's known that news reports often analyze incidents down to the minutiae of details, as if to make up whether the defendant is guilty or not... that is, trial by publicity).

Conviction rates are very high, I was told. Moreso if there's trial by media given by the local newsies.
Talk about method acting. Otherwise mere possession is, career-wise, a death sentence: permanently blackballed from ever working in the entertainment industry. Given the disparity between sexes there, often men entertainers get off the hook more easily than women, especially with so-called relationship scandals.
