I guess one can argue the lack of resources to prevent issues like this makes the state culpable as well. Although it’s 100mil for a 3-4 billion sized expense is quite odd. I wonder if they picked the maximum amount that wouldn’t bankrupt the owner.

For anyone else lucky enough to have never heard of this:

In September 2024, Dominique Pélicot, a 71-year-old man from Mazan in south-eastern France, testified in court that he repeatedly drugged his wife, raped her, and invited strangers to rape her while she was unconscious.[1] Over a period of nine years, from July 2011 to October 2020, Gisèle Pélicot, who was unaware of the abuse being perpetrated against her, was raped 92 times by 72 men, as her husband filmed the abuse. The abuse came to light only in September 2020 when Dominique Pélicot was arrested for taking upskirt photographs of women in a supermarket, and police thereafter discovered thousands of images and videos that Pélicot had taken of the rapes and stored on his computing equipment. Pélicot is also accused of training Jean-Pierre Maréchal to drug and rape his own wife. The trial in Avignon of Dominique Pélicot and 50 other men accused of the rapes began on 2 September 2024, and is scheduled to conclude in mid-December.

Jfc. Wth.

Yeah, you’d make your version basically impossible to search for unless it massively blows up

Tbf one piece is basically 10 minutes (or less) per episode padded to 20 and with an opening.

If the choice is spend more to hold onto the byproducts or let the byproducts slowly make the entire earth uninhabitable I’m kinda in favour of the former. Ideally completely green energy would be preferred but I guess it just doesn’t scale well with consumer demands and patterns :/.

Lol, i don’t think marketing could’ve saved this movie. I liked the concept but it was very clearly a passion project for FFC and he probably thought people would give it a chance based on name recognition but nothing can really salvage a bad movie. He really needed more oversight to keep the movie grounded cause it got insane super quick and by the end was just a jumbled mess.

I think everyone collectively agrees hiatus > padded content. I stopped watching around whole cake island because episodes we’re going a quarter chapter. I’m glad their finally starting to see this, I’m guessing the previous approach was starting to lose viewership or just not be as profitable as it used to be.

Friendly reminder MLK was killed in 1968. One year before the moonlanding. I always thought open and legal racial segregation was a century or more ago. It hasn’t even been 100 years since the holocaust and bloody nazis are popular again. Wtf.

Eh, the manga is still gorgeous. Recommend checking it out if anyone’s disappointed.

Hah, love this. Never change buddy. You’re the best :-).
