       It has been 0 days since I've heard a grown adult in the #Doom community blame the Geneva Conventions, a series of articles of international law with the intent of defining war crimes, for the legal actions of the American Red Cross, an American corporation who owns a trademark on what the rest of the world considers a humanitarian emblem, to protect its intellectual property.

       For those curious the articles of the Geneva Convention only ban active combatants in a theatre of combat from using humanitarian emblems in order to trick non combatants or even enemy combatants into falling into a killzone as that would be a war crime.

       I can't believe I have to explain this to grown adults, but putting humanitarian aid emblems on humanitarian aid in a video game is not, in fact, a war crime.Fun fact! The only humanitarian aid emblem that is covered by US trademark so far as I can tell is the red cross. So slap a nice red Star of David or Crescent Moon on your health pickups because the Geneva Conventions define humanitarian emblems as being multicultural and acknowledges not every one in the world is Christian.

       Sorry for the rant but it drives me nuts how many otherwise perfectly intelligent people spread this misinformation without once thinking 'hang on, why would international war crime courts give a shit about some pos video game?'

       @discatte It has been entirely too long since I last had a hush puppy.

       My cat just turned off my computer. Seriously, why do we put power buttons on the top now?

       You know how there's the Tea Party and then the Coffee Party? I demand there be a political party called the Chocolate Chip Cookie Party, if for no other reason than the acronym would be the CCCP.Comrades! WE DEMAND MORE CHOCOLATE CHIPS!

       Someone's done a pretty nice run down on one of the few MMOs that I genuinely got into: City of Heroes. Definitely a good watch, if only to get goosebumps from the music clips. I need to play that game again...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7evdqQrUhDY

       Stop microwaving pizza. It ruins both flavor and texture.
