Ya know, the magazine was actually very, very good in at least the late '60’s to 70’s or so. Amazing in-depth interviews for one thing. My Dad was so thrilled to tell everyone his High School son subscribed to Playboy. Of course, being gay, I really was just reading it for the articles.

Glad to hear.

While I’m not surprised an obviously frivolous and misdirected lawsuit was thrown out, it’s too bad it cost needless time and resources.

I agree, but…

…that would change the incentives on not amending the suit. As things stand now “judge doubts the claim is valid, or can be amended to be valid” means a large party has no good reason to they to go forward. With a possibility that an “obviously meritless” claim will cost them money it makes sense to try to amend the claim, just in case you can make it “unobviously meritless (or maybe actually have merit)”. It might save money, and if it doesn’t save money it moves the payment out into the future, and that is worth something.

If we can avoid making a fine for obviously meritless claims not result in greater pain for those who were claimed against I’m all for it.

I would just add to this that Playboy did not sue anyone for linking to their site or intellectual property between 1960 and 1970.

Does a Unicron Chaser count as Nightmare Fuel? :thinking:

Ew, that unicorn is scary, needs a chaser, stat!

This is a philosophical question, mouse. What effectively chases a Unicron? And is it, itself, nightmare fuel?

It is why I stick to Unicorns, especially ones that shit cookies, because I am very often hungry during the day, as much as I am bored.

I guess Megatron was after the blood of Unicron (in some versions), and being hunted down by him is probably like being hunted by a 20 foot tall Terminator, so I definitely class that as my own kind of nightmare fuel.

I also thought unicorns pooped icecream, now you tell me they do a cookie variant too!? I guess this is one way of making me eat more healthily…

My dreams are going to be weirdly disturbing tonight.
