Huh, I never read too much into it but it definitely sounds like that might be the case.

This Billboard article from the time of the 2005 legal settlement mentions:

"The settlement ends a legal dispute that some of Parks’ own relatives had criticized, saying she wouldn’t have minded the use of her name in the song “Rosa Parks” had she not been mentally impaired. "

…

“After that lawsuit was filed, some of Parks’ relatives began questioning her well-being and the actions of her caretaker and the lawyers who filed the suit, and alleged she is probably unaware of the lawsuits.”

So perhaps while she did technically live long enough to sue OutKast, she was suffering from dementia at the time and it’s possible that she was unaware of the actions taken in her name.

The more you know!

I’ve posted about this before but Rosa Parks lived long enough to sue OutKast in 1999 over their use of her name in their song ‘Rosa Parks’.

to be fair

Like everyone else Journey was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Id give a shout-out to Death Stranding, too. The game is far from perfect but it’s basically a hiking simulator which I find soothing. You also carry things so you could say it’s uplifting in the literal sense haha!

Nice! I enjoy ya screenshots, looks like you play some good games!

A note on brewing potions: You only need the herbs the first time you brew any particular potion, after you’ve brewed it once it will get restocked automatically when you meditate.

Brandy? Awesome! The Boy Is Mine (1998) is a certified classic!

We can’t blame chatgpt for the change in headline writing over the last few years, though.

I know facts about the sun from They Might Be Giants!

Bahahahaha!

I see what you’re saying, the tokens represent access to a finite amount of resources and creating more tokens won’t create more resources. I get that.

But if the problem isn’t with the amount of resources but with their distribution, then redistributing the existing tokens out of the hands of the greedy hoarders must help the rest, mustn’t it?

Edit: I can’t believe I’m sitting here arguing with someone on the goddamn Internet. Must be out of my damn mind

Ok but the way I see it there are 100 people and 1000 tokens. Instead of every person getting 10 tokens, one guy has 998 tokens and everyone else argues over the remaining 2. Would killing the one rich guy not free up some tokens for the rest of us?

Imagine being so naive as to believe massive wealth hording deprived others! What turkeys! Amirite?

I’m from New Zealand and my mother still brings this up every time France is mentioned in any context.

Folks on Lemmy seem to love shitting on multivitamins. I brought some about a year ago because I was run down and getting sick all the time. Im a Chef so inconsistent diet and drinking alcohol kind of come with the deal. Anyway nower days I feel more energetic and my immune system seems more robust. The daily multivitamins I take cost $0.25 each.

I spent the best part of a day there and don’t think I came across the pet zone. Amazing market!
