The asshole is using their ADHD meds against them. You can see it as a recent post in Frosty's history.
The complete decision is over 200 pages of lawyer talk. I'm going to bet approximately 0, including you.
You are falling for a common pitfall, assuming that intelligence is the dominant factor in success. There is enough evidence to suggest intelligence is a thing and that it does help general ability broadly, but it is basically always dominated by other factors, be it affluence or experience. It's entirely possible for an expert in 1 field to end up being completely clueless and seeming like a dumbass when talking about anything else. There is even research to suggest people that are experts in one domain can be easier to fool into thinking they are more competent in all domains, actually making them less likely to seek external opinions and ending up worse off.
I don't know your group and maybe this went over well. But I was in a group that had a similar situation happen, but when it happened in my group it completely killed the campaign. We didn't know a party member was doing it, but we felt like we were being undermined at every step and the DM wasn't allowing us to make sufficient progress to enjoy ourselves.
There is a fundamental difference in the way defamation is treated in Canada(and other Common law countries like the UK and Australia) and the US. This is a simplification, but basically in the US you generally need to prove that the statement was knowingly false (in addition to other defamation requirements like proving damages). This is nearly impossible to do in most situations. In Common law the person who said the statement needs to prove they had a reasonable justification for thinking the statement true. This reverses who the onus of proof is on and makes winning defamation cases in Canada actually plausible.
Gotta love Canadians that think they are ruled by American laws. Every Canadian should know slander and libel laws here are much more restrictive on speech.
My understanding is their fallback plan is to bring in Dr Doom as the big bad rather than recasting Kang.
Most film critics do judge on entertainment value though. The difference is that film critics are watching like 200 movies a year (or more) so a lot more stuff is going to seem like tired retreads to them.
Although this provides the best experience (very broadly speaking) for new users. It only takes looking at websites from 20 years ago to realize that it ages very poorly and no one maintains the links/external media once they break.
Its not so much Israel owning the majority of American politicians as it is the pro-Israel lobby. This might seem like semantics at first, but it's not. A huge portion of the pro-Israel lobby is fundamentalist Christians who care about Israel not for the sake of Israel or the Jews, but because they think its existence is important for the biblical end times to come about.
Its not unusual for countries outside the biggest media producers (like the US for instance) to have rules in place to make sure there is continued local cultural output.
