I’ve been seeing a worrying number of these people on Lemmy lately, sharing enlightened takes including but not limited to “voting for Biden is tantamount to fascism” and “the concept of an assigned gender, or even an assigned name, at birth is transphobic” and none of them seem to be interested in reading more than...
If I said, "The sun sometimes rises in the east." that is a true statement, but not evidence that it ever does otherwise and if I wanted to claim "...and sometimes it rises in the west." I would still need to provide evidence other than stressing the "sometimes" in my first statement.
How can calling a person (and not actions) "illegal" be anything but derogatory?
Explain your west-rising sun, please.
While I agree in principle I tend to think there are still unforgivable crimes and irredeemable people out there.
Then you don't agree.
I wasn't aware crime was about forgiveness.
I thought in-so-far as societies implemented systems of justice, their purpose was restitution and rehabilitiation.
No one gains anything from a person—irrespective their prior actions—being murdered and we all lose a bit of our soul each time a state execution is allowed to take place.
I really expected better from Vietnam, whose "quarantine at gunpoint" public health policies I heartily endorse.
The way these people affect so many lives negatively with their fraud is much worse than a person committing murder.
Irrespective how is two bad things better than one bad thing? I would think fewer bad things would be net better.
The literal misery they cause to so many people for their own benefit without a fucking iota of shame and their sociopathic behavior is enough to consider eliminating them from society.
You speak of "sociopathic behavior" while advocating state murder. 🤨
Well then. Murdering someone as ex-post "punishment" for past actions remains abhorrent, but holding a gun to her head until she gives the money back is cool and good.
There is a difference between threatening violence as a deterrent against currently engaged in harms a person has the ability to cease and claiming moral authority to end a person's life due to things they have no control over.
There's distinction between "Put down the box or we'll shoot you." and "Having touched the box in the past, you now need to die regardless."
Still don't fuck with "The death penalty" as a framework for the threat, however.
If we were drinking in a bar (not that I drink in bars) on trivia night and this question came our team's way, I'd be pretty comfortable (granted, I'd be drunk) guessing Enter The Dragon....
Thinking on it some of the Star Wars films might tie, but I really think it all comes down to if Enter The Dragon got that CBHD release. 🤔
Still seems it might be a tie as I have found evidence the first 3 Star Wars films were released on Video2000, but I have not found any evidence they were released on UMD.

Anyone know if Enter The Dragon also got a VCC release? I was able to find Exit The Dragon, ENTER THE TIGER on Video2000/VCC, but as you all know that is an entirely different Bruceploitation flick staring Bruce Li.
It existing on VCC does imply Enter The Dragon may well have been released on the format as well, and we could close the book on StarWars.
I take a guess and then see how many formats for that guess I can find. It helps to know alot of home video formats I can check against.
Tell you though it isn't easy because search engines have noticeably began to suck donkey ass of late. All the skills I've developed have turned worthless as searching no long works the way it did a scant few years ago.
I would wonder if there's a Bollywood film that meets the same criteria and could be a strong contender?
I suppose it's possibleDeewaar or Muqaddar Ka Sikandar got a whole bunch of other releases (the second was popular in The Soviet Union) but other than that I don't think laserdisc was ever released in India and that's a whole format. Since some of these films released on near every format every one counts.

I already did, and I don't feel you are arguing in good enough faith—having been willing to concede being trans "is sinful"—to address you in any deeper detail.
You jump on the name thing rather than seeing it as an outcrop of assigning sex and gender and then bitch about it in other threads using disingenuous descriptions that conflate the two but only address the later.
