The fact they decided to explain to people the concept of laying down on a cool surface is the weird news.

It took me some time to realize that this was the actual map people were getting mad about, and not something hastily edited in so the movie could be shown in the market in question. People are like "this crayon-rear end doodle may as well have been given to the filmmakers by the Chinese government"

Obviously I don't understand what's going on but from the outside it's a little bewildering

According to someone in the replies, this is a shot from the trailer and wasn't the issue. There's a different shot later in the movie where I guess Barbie goes to the real world and sees a real world map and it does actually include the nine dash line.

The nanomachines will simply reassemble it all in situ. Very simple science black magic.

Instead you face the transporter problem where the being revived on the other end is probabilistically a different you, your memories having ended when you died with the new entity having the continuous and continuing string of memory.

This is why standard emojis suck, you really need a full custom smiley set to get across nuance. Like, :mmmhmm: would clearly be for "message received", while :hellyeah::getin: would indicate full acceptance. No more ambiguity!

If our reality was a simulation, a lawyer talking about a picture in a text message being oral communication would cause a mistype exception for sure.

No one is compelled to put your dick in their mouth. At most you would be entitled to a refund for services not rendered if you already paid.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:

Gonna put on my no-fun-hat for a second. That doesn't seem all that outlandish to me. I'm not overly familiar with Canadian law, but if the law doesn't specify the precise signal you have to send to accept an oral contract (and it really bloody shouldn't), then with changing times courts will have to decide on what constitutes agreement. I assume that if the two had always done proper written contracts a simple thumbs up emoji wouldn't have been sufficient in the court's eye.

I guess the lesson is: If you are doing business, don't leave any ambiguity. Always has been.

I know of another emoji court case

quote:

Notably, the Dapper Labs court determined that the plaintiff sufficiently
pled the expectation-of-profit prong based, in part, on allegations about a
tweet promoting defendants' NFTs with the rocket ship, increasing chart or
moneybag emojis — or , and , respectively — which the court
concluded "objectively mean one thing: a financial return on investment."[7]
