Idk if this woman could or not but I know Riot Games once lost a lawsuit because a World Cup theme skin they made looked too much like an actual player and copied some iconic part of his look or something. He sued them and won years after having acknowledged and having thanked riot for the tribute. Riot had to disclose how much money the skin had made so they could decide on a percentage cut he’d get. Internet tells me it was a Dutch court though so who knows how it’d go in the US

Reply to comment by vladimirpwnn in [Garafolo] The Saints are closing in on a deal with QB Derek Carr, sources tell me and Ian Rapoport. After nine seasons with the Raiders, the four-time Pro Bowl selection is headed to New Orleans. The first QB domino is about to fall and one NFC South team has its starter. by BCLetsRide69

Saints and raiders have only played each other 15 times since 1971, so probably won’t happen every single season

I think he also benefits from his motives, at the end of the day ichigo just wants to protect what’s important to him and have a chill time with his friends and family. He’s not always shouting about becoming the head captain, or the shinigami king. He just wants the strength to protect what’s important to him. He has lapses in self confidence you don’t often see in the genre too.

I remember having a few select anime friends that I found by chance. One was a guy a year older than me on the basketball team with me. We were out at a weekend tournament and between games he was like “I gotta eat to recharge my chakra” and everyone just said haha because he said weird stuff sometimes. When everyone else walked away I quietly said to him “soooo you watch Naruto?” He was one of my best friends at that school for years after that haha.

Another was a kid who watched bleach and I’d talk about new episodes with him at his locker. One time I had to do a speech for some election thing and one of the things I mentioned was talking about bleach with him. It was a Christian school so they were weird and had to approve the speeches ahead of time so we didn’t say something covertly sexual in front of the whole school or whatever. So the teacher who reviewed mine was like “what does this bleach line mean? What does it imply? Is it something inappropriate!?” And I had to spend like 15 minutes explaining that it’s a tv show we both like and not some hidden code.

Reply to comment by bluDesu in Study finds Omicron variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which appeared at the end of 2021 have marked genetic differences from the ancestral SARS-CoV-2. The many, distinct mutations in their infection machinery have enabled them to escape from antibodies elicited from the original series of vaccines. by MyLifeisAsaJoker

The title sounds like omicron is genetically different enough from the original strain that antibodies trained to kill covid can’t kill it as efficiently
