Answer: It takes you to the reddit "shop" where you can buy reddit coins which you can then spend on reddit silver, gold or platinum, each costing 100, 500 and 1800 coins respectively.
Protip: use literally any other reddit app than the official one. I use boost personally but literally any other will be better and won't shove this in your face.

What's up with the "shop" button on the end of reddit videos?

I use the official Reddit app and I've never seen this shop button before, what am I shopping for on a video of a hornets nest? Reddit coins?? Is everything becoming an add on Reddit?

Answer: There isn't a "craze." One stupid woman did it on social media and a couple of people copied her. It's not a mass social movement or popular "challenge" or anything. Pretty much everyone agrees that it's disgusting, and now that she's probably going to go to jail for it, nobody else is going to copy it.

What’s up with the “ice cream licking craze?”
|
[reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/WinStupidPrizes/comments/chgxo6/im_not_sure_what_she_expected_to_happen/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app) about it.
Based on the comments, I think it’s when you’re at the store and just open a tub of ice cream and lick it, all while filming yourself of course.

Answer: If Door Dash guaranteed a driver $8 for a delivery, then the customer tipped $4 in the App, Door dash gave the driver $8, not $12, counting the tip as part of their guaranteed fee, not separately as a tip. This allowed them to keep more of the delivery fee and pay drivers less by effectively keeping their tip.

What is going on with DoorDash?
|
I saw a bunch of post about DoorDash changing their payment policy through this reddit post: https://reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/chntao/doordash_announces_changes_to_come_to_pay_model/
Upon looking into further, I see people on Twitter in an uproar about this payment plan and about DoorDash as a company in general. What’s going on?

Answer: Essentially DoorDash agrees to pay their drivers a fixed rate for delivery. What I saw originally was $5.50 for delivery. So if you tipped three dollars over the app for your 'driver' Doordash would pocket the tip and still pay the driver the same base rate.
The reason that this is controversial is because
A) Taking employee's tips in a tipped profession in the United States is considered very improper (see Amy's Baking Company on Kitchen Nightmares when the servers were paid hourly and would give their tips to the owners how pissed off the clients got)
B) DoorDash says on the app 'All tips go directly to the driver' or something along those lines. That is true in the sense that your $3 dollar tip would go to the driver but DoorDash would then only pay $2.50 out of the prior $5.50 commitment. So Doordash made the $5.50 commitment to the driver and would treat your tip to the driver as a credit on that $5.50 commitment.
C) DoorDash also by default will tip the driver when you are about to complete the order and you have to manually tell the app that you don't want to tip, you literally have to press 'Other' and enter $0. Compared to UberEats for example where the default tip option is 'Not Now' when placing an order.
DoorDash has agreed to change it's model but obviously it will lead too a less base pay for their drivers to compensate more than likely.

Answer:
>everyone thinks he is hiding?
That's the main concern- there's no way to know. That's generally fine for a normal citizen, but for a POTUS, the bar is a bit higher. You want to be proactive, considering the power of the office. It's akin to a background check- even if you don't think he's hiding anything, you still want to check before handing the keys over.
The two main concerns are illegal ventures (mainly tax evasion), or if he were getting payments/had business interests that would give him conflicts of interest.
For the latter, it's particularly a concern about foreign governments (like say, Saudi Arabia), but not limited to just them.
Both concerns have had some amount of reporting that there is some legitimate concerns, which makes it even more pressing.
>And then (if there is one) a "good" reason he would not want to release them?
Well, if he is hiding something, that would be a reason for him not to release them.
But even if nothing is illegal, there has been quite a bit of reporting that his actual wealth is a lot less than he makes it out to be, for one example. That would be very embarrassing.
There isn't really a "good" reason, which is why it's tradition for a presidential candidate.

Answer:
It is a tradition for candidates and presidents to release their tax returns from the 10 or so previous years to the public, this is just tradition and is seen as the candidate being open with the public about their financials and to prove nothing shady is going on. This dates back to Nixon who released his taxes the same day they were requested. Since then candidates and presidents have done it willingly.
Trump is the first president since Nixon who hasn’t released his tax returns. This has lead to speculation over if he’s hiding something, what in particular it is that he’s hiding is a matter of debate and there are multiple theories.
1) He is hiding the fact that he isn’t as good of a business man as he claims to be. The taxes would of course show exactly how much he had made or possibly in his case, lost. [The New York Times got access to his taxes from the 80’s and 90’s and they showed that he lost more money than any other tax payer in the U.S., in fact, he didn’t pay taxes 8 of the 10 years they got information for.](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/05/07/us/politics/donald-trump-taxes.html) This is very consequential for the president as he ran on the platform of being a savvy businessman who knows how to run a company. When in reality, it seemed as though he was only kept afloat by large amounts of cash that his father pumped into his son. Trump’s father, a successful businessman himself, actually only really had his investments in his son as his only real losses during this period. With all these losses that occurred during the period in which many saw as the golden age of Trump, it’s strange that he continued to make major business deals right up until his campaign. [The main explanation for this is Deutsche Bank, a company who after being closely connected with the nazi party in WWII, had to make major moves in the international markets, which lead to them making riskier and riskier deals and loans. The culture of make deals no matter what remains in the company so thoroughly that they continued to make loans and deals with Trump even when he already has debts to them. At one point, Trump even got a loan from one section of Deutsche Bank to pay off his debt to another part of Deutsche Bank. ](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/podcasts/the-daily/trump-deutsche-bank.html) Many fear that he might have a similar relationship with other banks and loaners such as one’s in Russia who would stand to gain from having leverage over him. These shady business dealings makes people even more concerned about Trumps financials.
2) There are fears of possible bribery and other forms of corruption. These also stem from that New York Times report where [“His interest income spiked in 1989 at $52.9 million, but the source is a mystery.”](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/07/us/trump-tax-figures.html) His taxes could either exonerate him or incriminate him of possible fraud or other illegal activities and since he refused to release them, many believe it to be the later.
3) The possibility of Putin specifically having leverage over him cannot be over stated. [Putin has used his power to take control and reign in the wealthy Russian oligarchs, many of whom Trump has connections with.](https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/democracy/reports/2018/02/13/446576/cracking-the-shell/) Theres is fear that Putin might be controlling and reigning in Trump in the same way or is using the oligarchs as a proxy to control him. Releasing his taxes would help to show the public his monetary ties and show if he has pertinent connections to those oligarchs.
In general, release of his taxes would show all of his financials and his ties to others, wether they be to governments or banks. These connections could be used as leverage against him and possibly be a conflict of interests. Plus, his taxes would in general show what type of businessman he really is which seems to contradict his public persona.

Answer: The "boycott" being referred to is part of the BDS movement, which stands "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions." The movement is supported by Palestinians hoping to bring awareness to the current standing of Israel/Palestine. The Palestinians feel as though Israel's occupation of Gaza and creation of settlements in the West Bank is a violation of their sovereignty as a people and a violation of the Oslo Agreement. The Boycott part of BDS asks for supporters to not buy from certain companies that supply/work with Israel in order to send a message to these companies that they disagreement with their involvement of the Israeli government. This would then lead to "Divestment" (countries stopping their aid to Israel) and then Sanctions (countries putting trade sanctions on Israel to force their hand and give Palestinians a chance to negotiate).
A recent bill in the House just by a very wide margin that essentially clarifies that the United States government supports a "two-state solution" for Israel and Palestine and states that supporting BDS as a movement is both biased and in some ways anti-Semitic, as they feel it unfairly attacks the Israeli side. Many of the detractors to this bill feel as though the bill goes too far and clamps down on the First Amendment right to boycott, and is essentially strong-arming politicians and public workers into tacitly supporting current Israeli policies.
"The Squad" is a group of four Congresswomen--Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York, Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley from Maryland. They were all elected in 2018 in their respective districts and all them were endorsed/supported by the Justice Democrats, a political organization that sponsors candidates that refuse most PAC/lobbyist money and support positions more adamantly than your average Democrat--notably an anti-interventionist foreign policy, strong government action on climate change, single payer health care, and transparency in elections, among other issues.
Tlaib, Omar, and Ocasio-Cortez were all vocally against the bill, and Pressley joined soon after. Tlaib (who is Palestinian by heritage) and Omar have been very vocal about their support of BDS as a movement in particular, and in Congress are probably at the forefront of support for the movement, which has never really seen a lot of endorsement in Congress. For Republicans (and many Democrats), their support for the BDS movement is equivalent to anti-Semitism and they are accusing them as such. This is probably where your co-worker is calling them racist.
This is a big deal in America because the United States is one of the biggest allies of Israel, not only in size but in economic and military support. The wider history of Israel-Palestine goes back decades and has a lot of facets and points of information, so I would recommend reading up the issue and getting as much context as possible if you aren't well aware of the debate.

Answer: There's a growing movement of contemporary thought which is critical of the Israeli government; this movement isn't critical of the existence of Israel, or of Judaism, but of the government itself as an organization. A chief point of criticism is the claim that Israel is an apartheid state, and that the Israeli government's treatment of Palestinians is one of the most significant human rights violations occurring in the world right now. Collectively, this body of thought has organized under the banner, "BDS" standing for the "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions" movement. as the name implies, members of the BDS movement want to boycott Israeli products and services, divest money from Israeli businesses and non-profits, and sanction trade with the Israel.
Critics of the BDS movement argue that the BDS movement is rooted in antisemitism, and that the criticism of the government is just a smokescreen for ultimately anti-Jewish sentiments.
HRes246, which was mentioned in the article you linked, was a resolution which passed in Congress. "Resolutions" aren't bills, they aren't the basis of *laws* per se, but they're more like strategic commitments where politicians can make statements towards long-term goals and vote to agree to move towards that outcome. Hres246 is an anti-BDS resolution, specifically what's called a "simple resolution" which doesn't have a *lot* of legal weight, but it's something.
Hres246's proponents argue that even if Israel *is* an apartheid state, the BDS movement ultimately antagonizes Israel and will make negotiating with the Israeli government more difficult, and as such, can make it harder to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These proponents also point out that the law doesn't forbid speech, but dictates a kind of decorum- it argues that politicians can be critical of the US government for supporting the Israeli government, but shouldn't be critical of the Israeli government directly.
Hres246's opponents argue that it's an illegal sanction on free speech, basically punishing people for wanting to peacefully boycott a foreign government for humans rights violations. They also argue that the text of the resolution is basically a condemnation of the BDS movement as explicitly being antisemitic.
Three of the four members of "the Squad" voted against HRes246, however, it didn't matter much, because HRes246 passed.
Opinion time, not as balanced: Congrats America, our politicians just voted that our politicians aren't allowed to have dissenting opinions about Israel.

Answer: So, from what I gathered from the thread, sadpanda admin made a thread telling people they have 12 hours to download their loli and shota content. It seems the site is hosted in the Netherlands and their legislation is looking to bring down any site that hosts such content.
Some people are saying that the non loli/shota content will be around for another 6 months, others are saying it’s all getting nuked in 12 hours.
This is significant not necessarily because of loli or shota content but because exhentai has been a repository of many things, including non-h manga. The amount of various content that has been amassed over the years is staggering, and no other site has nearly as much. It’s not only a blow for loli and shota (which idc about personally) but it’s a blow to hentai as a whole.
If I made any mistakes, please let me know.
Edit: /u/Alamandaros made a correction for me. I am on mobile and don’t really know reddit formatting in general. If I’m breaking some sort of etiquette, I’ll try to fix it.
“To quote someone on another subreddit:
This isn't happening because of a change of Dutch loli or hentai laws. It's because Holland is working on implementing the European DSM-directive which basically holds hosts accountable for any copyrighted material that is shared on their platforms. Since this is EU wide, it's not gonna be possible to legally recreate this site within Europe.
The implications of the DSM-directive far exceed E-hentai btw. It affects the whole of the free internet we grew up with. From Youtube to E-hentai to other popular image hosts, every platform host active within the EU will have to drastically alter their handling of copyright issues to be compliant with European law.
This F isn't just for E-hentai, it's for the internet as we have known it.”

​
As for what happened after, nothing yet. Anons are still trying to figure how to properly archive all the works they have saved. Reportedly, someone on the /g/ board in 4chan was able to save almost all works from Sadpanda without 3d stuff, so about 45tb worth, all properly organized. Problem is its probably just a troll as there hasn't been a follow up. They did post the metadata for the website, this is so they can organize the stuff in the event they do find a backup.

A$AP Rocky is a famous american rapper, he had a show in Sweden and he and his crew were being followed and harassed by two teenagers, after some time Rocky and his Crew went after the teenagers, there’s video of Rocky throwing one teenagers to the ground and then he and his Crew kicking the teenagers laying on the ground.
So Rocky is being held in ”häkte” while the investigation is taking place, due to several factors (Rocky being a flight-risk, swedes on vacation etc) he has been held for three weeks and still awaiting trial.
Kanye West, a fellow rapper who has a relation with Trump reached out to Trump to help get his friend free.

Answer: A$AP Rocky is being held in Sweden. He has a trial coming up for an alleged assault. Some people, Trump being one of them, feel like Rocky is being treated unjustly. Trump offered to pay Rocky’s bail, but the bail system is not a thing in Sweden.
Trump also talked to the swedish prime minister and urged him to help with the situation. The prime minister told him that Rocky cannot get any special treatment in the justice system for being a celebrity / being backed by Trump.

The website you have listed is in fact the real website to file a claim. If you still do not trust the website linked, you can go to the [official site](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement) of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and navigate to the same page linked in the post.

It's an old internet 'tradition' among more asocial circles to dislike/despise furries because they're different and seem weird.
The date and species aren't particularly relevant outside of them being animals and furries like animals a lot.

What’s going on with this raid on furry subreddits? Why post dead foxes?
|
There have been a few posts going around about posting pictures of dead foxes onto /r/furry today, July 25th. Is there any reason why they chose July 25th or why foxes in particular? Let alone why are they doing this at all?
A couple posts promoting the raid.

Answer: I believe you're talking about the money they owe when they get school lunch. A lot of schools have a system where students will pay some money to get a school lunch. They also have the alternative to bring their own home lunch for free. These lunch debts could either be the price the school has to pay for making lunch or the debt every student owes that has overdue payments on their lunches. I'm not completely sure, though.

Answer: The US lunch system has existed since the 40s in various forms, the oldest being a way to provide food at a low or free cost to students. This was originally achieved through using surplus food from local farms, but now most schools use products by large companies.
The current system, or systems as it is, have also changed from the original goal in a number of school districts. For example, the existence of school lunch debts that often punish the child. Some common consequences are only being given unfulfilling food to eat such as a bland cheese sandwich for every lunch or even threatening to remove the child from the parents' care (this was declared unenforceable due to being poor is not a reason to remove a child). Because of this, people paying off lunch debts is considered an honorable act and a school district denying someone helping is looked highly down upon by most.

Answer: Arch is a....... Polarising figure.
He has made derogatory statements towards women and minorities, he is a fan of holocaust revisionism if not outright denial, and is the posterboy edgelord who likes slinging around the N-words because "political correctness has gone mad" and that everyone's too much of a snowflake this day (basic politically right stuff). He also hangs around fascists which is a big red flag.
In addition, he also shits on Creative Assembly constantly, so it's not surprising a CA employee would call him a dick. And while Arch says it's an "official" CA statement, it was a statement made by one employee on his last stream, and CA said it was not an official view of the company.

Answer: Arch Warhammer started out by creating lore videos for Warhammer which gained him popularity, unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that he was essentially copy/pasting from the Warhammer wiki, right down to the errors.
As many do he quickly turned to more political videos, leaning heavily to the right to the degree that some have called him "Alt-right". He began to spiral into discriminatory remarks and started to fling mud at Creative Assembly - the company behind the Total War: Warhammer video games - and essentially became a poster-boy for edginess.
Last night Creative Assembly was hosting a weekly stream when towards the end one of their members called Arch a dickhead while live. Apparently, the employee quit/was fired once the stream ended and Creative Assembly have come out saying they don't share the employee's views.
TL;DR - Employee insulted a controversial Warhammer content creator on livestream.

Answer: A bug in the economy has made drop rates for some previously extremely rare items go extremely high. These items are now flooding the market making them worth much less than before. Some of the rarest hats in the games were worth thousands of dollars and now the prices are crashing.
The upside is that the crates that have these bugs are worth a shitload of money now so the average player can make some decent cash from the event. I've only 200 hours in the game and haven't played in years and made £26 from selling crates.

Answer: Valve released an update that added the summer 2019 cosmetic case and key. Somehow, using keys on cosmetic cases, will give you an extremely high chance of getting an unusual, (a hat that has a special effect, worth more than the original.) People have gotten large amounts of unusuals from these crates.

Answer: In TF2, "Unusual Cosmetics" are exceedingly rare cosmetics that are obtained either through trading / buying with other players or uncrate-ing (a loot box that you pay a small fee to open up). A large market emerged within TF2 years ago for trading items, and it has a measurable value that changes overtime based on supply and demand.
In the most recent update for the game, a bug was introduced that causes crates to drop a guarenteed unusual cosmetic. Obviously this has caused an enormous spike in supply, and there's the fact that it is a potentially "limitless supply" (until it gets patched) as long as people keep throwing relative pocket change at the system. This has caused the value of all unusuals to tank incredibly fast, and the TF2 economy to crash.

Answer: There was a TF2 update that made it so a few cases from the Mann Co. always dropped unusual items (which are basically just rare items) 100% of the time so that led to a obvious flood of rare items in the market.

Answer:
TF2 Is one of the first games to ever support an in-game economy; Not *the* first, but absolutely the first of it's "style," where random cosmetic items are either found or obtained from crates that you must open with a key (that usually costs 2.49 USD.) This has fueled the economy of the game for years, with players trading hats, high-value weapons, collector's items, killstreak parts, and a bunch of other things since 2010's "Mannconomy" update.
One of the most coveted class of items are "Unusual" hats, ultra-rare cosmetics that sport a flashy particle effect, like it being on fire, having planets circling it, or a thunder cloud hanging above your head. There is only an approximately ~1% chance of finding one in your average crate. Nevertheless, they are high-value items, ranging from 20$ for your common ones to the rarest combinations, such as a *Burning Team Captain,* which is valued at a monetary value of around ~13,000 USD. (thanks u/Supahvaporeon for price correction) They are comparable to how CS:GO's skinned knives are treated and traded.
On the evening of July 25th, 2019, an update was released, containing some file updates, and a new crate with a couple more cosmetics. Unbeknownst to the community, Hell had begun.
Nobody knows exactly why, (the most popular rumor has it they were messing with drop rates and forgot to fix it in the dev build) but some crate series suddenly had a **100% GARUNTEED** chance of giving you an unusual, off the bat. The news spread like WILDFIRE. Crates that went for seven cents on the market shot up to $2.80, the prices of unusuals tanked to the price of some coffee down the street, and everybody got pissed.
The main problem here is that there is no possible way to solve this problem without stepping on a bunch of toes, and the longer they take to decide how to do it, the worse it's gonna get. You can sell and buy items on the Steam Market with steam credit, which is the same stuff you can use to buy games and other items for those games. People can also trade for items across games, so a guy trades a TF2 unusual for a CS:GO skin, and then that skin gets traded for a Rust skin, which then gets sold for 13.32 on the market, which then goes towards buying some Train Simulator DLC for their kid, and it *all gets tangled from there.*
So if you rollback item inventories to before the glitch, you're going to be taking away items people paid for.
If you make the unusuals all untradeable, then the monetary value somebody spent the equivalent of real money on is destroyed, and you get the same effect. **[SEMI-WINNER!]**
If you flag and ban the accounts of everybody who has owned or traded for a bugged unusual, you're essentially taking the nuclear option and are most likely going to hit alot of innocents.
If you do nothing, well then the market gets flooded, the unusual economy dies, and one of valve's largest cash cow markets dies out.
As of typing this, the only action that has been taken is a complete freeze of the market and inventory servers. Nothing goes in or out. Other than that, what will valve do? *Nobody knows, ^yaba^dee^ba!*
**EDIT:** As of typing this edit, all unusuals generated via the bug have been marked as untradeable/unmarketable, until a solution comes next week. This means that they still exist for cosmetic purposes, but functionally don't in the economy.

Answer: Because of a bug, certain crates now have a 100% drop chance for "unusual" items, which were the rarest in the game. They went from thousands of dollars to only a few bucks.

Answer: There was a bug discovered that two crates (series #83 and #85) had a 100% chance of dropping gen 1 unusuals (super rare expensive hats that have cool particle effects), and since there were so many of them, their value plummeted.

Answer: Basically, an update shipped which accidentally made it so that certain crates (which would usually cost about 3 cents) somehow now have a 100% drop rate of very rare and expensive items. With so many of the rare items on the market, there price has gone down significantly. Certain items which could go for $40 a week ago are now $4. Many people in the community are angry with those who use the exploit, because it floods the market even more. Also, the previously 1-3 cent crates are now being sold at $4-$5 apiece.

Answer:
Overnight, a bug which came along with an update caused crates from generation 1 (I believe series 1 to 18) and series 82 and 85 have unusual (extremely rare and expensive type of hat, almost impossible to unbox. they have fancy effects on them and their outline is purple) drop rates at 100%.
All TF2 inventories were temporarily locked later in the day, as the TF2 team took time to figure out how to deal with it.
Now, the TF2 team's current solution is to mark all the illegitimate unusuals as non-tradable, non-marketable, non-giftable, etc. Basically, they locked the 'cheated' unusuals to the unboxers' inventories, never to be possibly traded to anybody else.
A fun meme that came from this, though, is that Ricardo caused this economy crash; the TF2 team added in a community-made Ricardo-inspired hat in the same update.

Answer: In many showers, the water temperature is controlled by a single lever/knob. The water on the far left end is scaldingly hot and the far right end is icy cold, and typically people take showers with the knob somewhere along the middle. Sometimes these showers are so finicky that there's a very small range where the water is comfortable.

Answer:
* A save is a baseball statistic for relief pitchers (aka not the starting pitchers), given to the winning team's pitcher under certain criteria (e.g. a close game). Most commonly it's given to a pitcher who finishes the last inning while maintaining the team's lead.
* A position player is basically anyone who's not a pitcher.
* The game in question lasted 16 innings, and the teams had exhausted their rosters of pitchers (players cannot come back into the game once taken out). The Orioles, who took out their *ninth* pitcher of the night after he allowed three runs, scored 2 runs out in the top of the 16th and were in position for the win. They brought out Stevie Wilkerson to pitch the bottom of the 16th, who threw *very* slow pitches and got three batters out.

Answer: I think your wires are a bit crossed here, because the movie rights to the Fantastic Four do not belong to Sony, and never have. Sony has the movie rights to Spider-Man (and his associated characters), while Fox has (had) the rights to the X-Men and the Fantastic Four, as well as their associated characters. Thus, the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom entering the MCU has nothing to do with Sony.
Ok, now to go into a bit more detail, back in the 90s, Marvel Comics licensed the movie rights for some of their characters out to certain movie studios. The X-Men and Fantastic Four were licensed to Fox, leading to the X-Men film series and two different F4 film series. Spider-Man was licensed to Sony, leading to the Maguire and Garfield Spider-Man films. And then in 2008, Marvel started churning out their own movies, using characters they still had the movie rights to, such as Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Thor, etc. These movies were very successful and popular, and launched the first real successful version of a superhero cinematic universe. In contrast, around this time, the Amazing Spider-Man movies were underperforming, so in 2015 Sony and Marvel came to an agreement, where Sony would allow Marvel to use Spidey in their MCU movies. (Yes, this does lead to the somewhat weird situation where Marvel needs to license back their own character in their own movies.) Apart from that, Sony can still make their own movies with Spider-Man's associated characters, such as the Venom movie released last year.
In 2009, Disney acquired Marvel. Then, earlier this year, Disney's deal to acquire Fox was finalized. Thus, both Marvel's and Fox's licensed movie characters are now all under Disney's intellectual property umbrella, so they can appear in the same movies without problems. In other words, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men can now appear in the MCU. It was announced a few days ago at Comic-Con that Marvel has started the development of movies on the Fantastic Four and mutants.
So, to answer your specific questions, people are talking about how the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom will be integrated into the MCU because Disney acquired Fox, so they have the movie rights to the characters now. As for Sony, they're happy with the results of allowing Marvel to put Spider-Man in the MCU, so they're open to exploring other possibilities as well. Who knows, maybe we'll see Venom or Carnage or the Spider-Verse in the MCU some day.

What's going on with Sony and the MCU?

TL;DR at the bottom. There are going to be a bunch of links in this that I suspect someone may say "You... linked yourself to the answer..." but my question is a bit more broad and I cannot find a specific answer to it online.
Alright, so, I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I've been seeing, for months now, all kinds of theories about the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom being introduced into the MCU.
​
[This post,](https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/ci4ow0/fantastic_four_into_the_mcu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) [this video,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smdnjPsbl_Y) [this video essay,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gB6fEpaD2e0) and [this article, which is especially where I'm confused.](https://geektyrant.com/news/rumored-fantastic-four-movie-details-tease-how-the-characters-will-be-handled-in-the-mcu)
​
The article says, in part:
​
> This past weekend, Marvel Studios President **Kevin Feige** announced that they were developing a Fantastic Four movie for Phase 4. No other details were given, so fans have been left wondering what to expect from the film and how exactly these characters will be introduced into the MCU.
​
[Wikipedia has this to say:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony%27s_Marvel_Universe#Marvel_Cinematic_Universe)
​
> Sony was also open to more of their characters appearing in MCU films, while Brent Lang and Justin Kroll of *Variety* speculated that the studio would like more MCU characters to make cameos in their MU as well.
​
[And also this:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe#Films)
​
> Marvel Studios also explored opportunities to integrate other characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into future *Spider-Man* films financed, distributed, and controlled by Sony Pictures
​
But the article that's referencing is from 2015. I cannot find anything more recent than that.
​
So my question is-- has Sony relinquished more rights to Marvel and I just missed the press release, or is Sony being integrated into the MCU, or what is going on?

Answer: The post you linked provides everything people know at this point in time. Reddit has blocked specific subreddits in specific countries at the request of their government or if the subreddit violates the law there in some fashion. However at this point since the admins have not (yet) commented publicly on the issue it's uncertain if they did block portions of the site for Pakistan or if there is another reason for what appears to be happening. So for now at least, nobody knows for sure why some people are observing this.

Answer: The exact details are very hazy. Some people say that Punk was willing to pay if they stuck together with the same legal team but Cabana chose to use his own. Others say Punk would pay regardless as long as Cabana left the podcast up despite the C&D letter.
Since we only have the word of the two people involved I dare say we'll never know which is factually correct but the court ruling against Cabana suggests the evidence favors Punk's story.

Last I heard they were working together to win a case for Punk against a WWE doctor and they won, but then Punk refused to help Cabana pay for the expenses like he promised to and this led to issues between the two taking the form of an ongoing legal battle.

Is there a good reason why Cabana is being forced to provide payment even though Punk originally said he would take care of everything?

Answer:
The comments in that thread are probably right. It's likely DMCA requests or similar legal issues, which reddit is obligated to follow. If they don't, they're liable for being sued.
tldr of DMCA- reddit isn't responsible if people upload copyrighted content as long as they take stuff down in good faith. The flipside is, if lawyers do request it, they *do* have to remove stuff or they can be sued
You often see a lot of copyrighted material because companies can't keep track of everything posted on the internet. But for a high profile product a short time after release, they can be really aggressive (see movies etc).
It's the same reason you can find all kinds of music on youtube, but a new release can take awhile to pop up unless they're partnered with VEVO or similar special deals. They're posted nearly instantly, but they can be taken down for as long as the record company's lawyers can keep up.

A simple search for Jessica (or Jonathan) Yaniv will bring you to sources that have screenshots of texts/messages of hers where she obsesses over the genitals of young girls, fantasizes about seeing girls nude/changing in bathrooms or locker rooms, helping them with tampons, etc.

Answer:
Canadian transgender Jessica Yaniv accused several beauty salons of transphobia on the basis that they refused her service.
Supporters claim this is another example of hate towards transgender people.
Opposers claim this is another case of opportunists abusing the pro-trans social system in modern western society.
The rabbit hole got deeper when sources turn up suggesting that Yaniv is actually a predator. The famous one being that Yaniv is proposing a topless pool party for 12 years old where parents are banned. Even Yaniv's personal tweet appears to back this story up.
Either way it became a social justice contest between females and transgender people over who have more "right of way" in this case.

Answer: Jessica Yaniv is a canadian person who may or may not be a trans woman (at least some people think she must actually be a cis man posing as a trans woman to make trans women look bad, but as far as I know, other than her inexcusable behavior there's no actual reason to believe that.) Whether she is or not isn't for any of us to say, but she's pretty definitely a creep. Others have gotten into the details of why she's a creep in this thread.
Lately her example has been used by anti-trans feminists to try to tar other trans people by association-- the theory goes that since this particular trans woman is a predator, cis women and children aren't safe around trans women in general. (These arguments fail to take into account, or in some cases even actively deny, the number of predatory cis women out there.) While trans women aren't a monolith, almost every trans person and ally I've seen out there has either disavowed her as someone they're not willing to defend or are not interested in dignifying her/these accusers with a response.

What is going on with this Jessica Yaniv story? What are the facts, and what are the proper gender pronouns? I keep seeing stories both calling them a he and her. I would never want to misgender someone, but I have seen so many claims that this is someone pretending to be transgender? I never thought I would see someone awful enough to pretend to be trans to cover being a sexual predator, if that is the case.
There is argument online whether this person is actually trans. So what is the real story here? Regardless, there seems to be a consensus that they are predator. What is the backstory? There are claims of pedophilia. The videos when I look it up on YouTube come back with Blaire White mainly, who I have no desire to watch. So what’s the story here; can anyone give me an honest TLDR without being bigoted or hateful? And with evidence of their wrongdoing? (I’m aware of the bizarre pool party thing, and also the dispute about bikini waxing).
I just want a factual TLDR without someone being transphobic. Thanks in advance.

Answer: Yaniv is not trans. He refers to himself as female when it's convenient. There are screencaps of him prepositioning young women for sex asking if they're into a "guy wearing pads". He's made no effort to transition other than wearing a dress. He doesn't have gender dysphoria because he has no issue demanding salons to wax his balls. Actual trans people don't do that.

Answer: She is a Transgender predator and abuser. A racist and an asshole, mighr be a pedophile.
Waxing male genitals is extremely different from waxing female ones, unless you want to have your scrotum ripped open and a testicle go flying.
There are lots of manscaping places that offer the service she's looking for and have people trained to do it. Instead she targeted self employed immigrant women.
To sum it up. She's a Transgender person who also s a total garbage human being.

Answer: She is a transgender woman, and she is also apparently some kind of sexual predator/creep.
Trans people can also be bad people, it isn’t because they’re trans, and it doesn’t change their gender. What I’d recommend whenever you encounter a situation like this is to remember that Jessica Yaniv isn’t hurt when you misgender, all it does is show other trans people who aren’t shitty is that they aren’t safe around you if you think correctly gendering someone is a privilege and you can revoke it.

Answer: D&D refers to David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the show runners for Game of Thrones.
r/freefolk is the shit-posting sub specifically designed for crapping on Game of Thrones. It get extra popular once the show ended when the final season was received poorly. But ruining the show for everyone has always been their deal, back to when the show was still going on and they went out of the way to spoil things as much as possible.
During the final season, HBO aired kinda documentary-esque showings after each episode kind of going over the goings on of the final season, and in basically every episode one member of D&D would make a stupid comment that doesn't give justice to the storytelling that may have existed in the episode (The most popular one is >!Dany just "kinda forgot" about the golden Fleet which resulted in Euron shooting down one of her dragons!< in S8E4). D&D are also scheduled to take over a new series of Star Wars movies, and the reduction of season length in the final 2 season (where most of the complaints were) from 10 episodes to only 6.
To be fair, r/freefolk does have a bit of a point, as a lot of the problems from the final 2 seasons of Game of Thrones can be entirely summarized into something as simple as "kinda stopped trying" or "this was WAY too rushed, why isn't it still 10 episodes/season?"

Answer: Aside from other answers here, D&D also did not participate at Comic Con and the panel questions were heavily monitored, no costumes that mocked the series was allowed like Night King being stabbed by a Lightsaber and Daenarys having a starbucks coffee costume.
They also did writing decisions that did not sit well with most of the cast. One was Conleth Hill, the actor for Varys.

Answer: it genuinely doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a trend to put these videos, called “fancams,” in reply to someone. Though a lot of the time kpop fans use them in response to tweets that they disagree with, with some type of retort. But it doesn’t really have a meaning. Troll accounts do use them to troll people, so if a tweet blows up (for example, if someone says something bad about kpop) you’ll probably see a lot of these fancams underneath it as a way to troll that person. Not everyone who uses these are troll accounts, kpop stans on twitter just like to use them in their tweets a lot of the time. But they are also used in reply to unrelated tweets, just between friends, and for literally no reason. The closest to a real answer I can give you is that kpop stans take a lot of pride in how many views these fancams get, so if you see them in response to something completely unrelated it can be that they’re just trying to get views on the video of their idol. I’ve tried to explain this as best I can as someone on stan twitter but it’s honestly kinda hard because there’s really no reason.

Answer: kpop stans are very obsessed with 'views', and the numbers accrued through them. It represents a type of success. An example is the youtube view war between Blackpink fans and BTS fans. Same goes for Twitter views. It's just another means of publicity, exposure.

Answer: Some kpop stans (stan meaning stalker + fan coined by Eminem) dedicate a significant amount of time promoting the group they like. Some feel the best way to do this is by posting a fan cam of a member they really like under a tweet that is already gaining traction to piggyback on the views and engagement. For some reason they believe by having someone just view their performance they will instantly fall in love and become a fan as well.

Answer: it doesn't really mean anything and is now a sort of meme
I guess it's hard to understand without a bit of context. Music Video (MV) views are an integral part of K-pop. The amount of views (as well as other factors such as album sales, song streams, etc.) contribute to a percentage on how awards will be given so in turn, having more MV views would result in more chances for your artist to win an award. Well things got out of hand and it sort of became a competition on who has more views. The fans now hold a sort of "streaming party" where they all watch the music video to increase the views and this is normal in K-pop because it is a way of supporting your artist as this could win them awards or it serves as a personal milestone for the fans and the artists. A sort of achievement so to speak.
On twitter there are accounts who post "fancams" (basically performance videos but focusing on a specific member of a group) and these fancams are just posted for fun or for whatever reason. As K-pop fans are competitive, started to spread this culture/behavior to fancams too. They started to stream and spread fancams to get them to X amount of views. People then used it in creative ways such as posting it on random tweets that go viral, on unrelated tweets, and others until it basically turned into a meme because people, understandably, started to get mad at the fans for being annoying.
It has also been a way to give exposure to their favorite artist/s and a way of promoting them.
Besides being a meme and a way to give exposure (and a sort of support) to the artist it is also used as a retort or as a "reply" to other K-pop fans who bash the favorite artists of other K-pop fans and to annoy "haters" of their artist.
It is really weird for someone out of the loop I know but it's just a product of the competitive K-pop culture, internet anonymity, and trolling people (not in a bad way or maybe in a bad way) online.
Also I just thought I'd add this, "stans" on twitter are not called stans because they are obsessed creepy stalkers. There is just this portion of twitter called "stan twitter" where people have accounts to specifically support/promote and show love to their faves. Stan Twitter is not exclusive to K-pop as their are also various things to love and be a fan of such as actors/actresses, animes, shows, movies, etc. And yes the word came from Eminem's song Stan but the way the word is used is similar to fan NOT the original meaning of the word. Basically they just substituted fan with stan e.g. "K-pop fan" ––> "K-pop stan" I guess it also has something to do with how stan can be used as a verb e.g. "I am a fan of X" ––> "I stan X".

Answer: Just racist people throwing out their controversial opinions because it seems to be completely okay in their own communities, and posting their favourite k-pop musician’s videos as a sort of ‘emote’. They also might want more views on those videos just like other people have mentioned, but they’re just racists.

Answer: it’s supposed to look “edgy” or “cool” kind of like a possessed-like look, rolling their eyes back apparently makes them more edgy or whatever. The finger-tapping is supposed to represent some sort of mind thing, (possession, mind-control, or something like that).

Answer:
Alright, so a "cursed image" is something *complicated* to define. It is not just *weird*, but it's something so absurdly strange that makes you wonder what the context behind it is while *also* not wanting to know due to how weird it is. "Blessed" refers to images with the same feel, but usually with a more lighthearted tone.
"Blursed" is a combination of the two, as the name implies.

Answer: Hastune Miku isn’t an anime character, she’s the mascot/face for a musical voice synthesizer called a Vocaloid. She’s had live projected concerts before, and as the olympics next year will be held in Japan, where Miku originates, people are jokingly recommending her as a performer for the opening and closing ceremonies.
It’s probably on animemes because Miku is typically drawn in an anime-esque style.

Answer: Bethesda recently released versions of classic DOOM games that required the player to login to their BethesdaNet account. Since the classic DOOM games did not have any such requirements, people who bought the games (for nostalgia or other reasons) were justifiably surprised, amused and/or annoyed, which then resulted in people creating numerous memes to mock Bethesda.
The company has actually stated in a tweet ( [https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1155140773215649793](https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1155140773215649793) ) that the login requirement wasn't apparently intended for all players and they are now working on remedying the situation.

Answer: I'm going to overexplain this with a TLDR at the bottom, because there is no doubt going to be people accusing me of bias for talking about the origin of this hashtag.
For some background (just in case), Bernie Sanders is an independent from Vermont running for president in the US with the democrats. He also ran in 2016, but lost in the primary to Hillary Clinton, who then went on to lose in the general to Donald Trump. He's running again for 2020, but is currently doing significantly worse than in his 2016 campaign, largely due to it no longer being a virtual 1v1 race with Clinton, where he could appeal to people who didn't want Clinton in the general, at all costs.
Sanders has gotten a lot of criticism for not having good responses to a lot of social issues, as his number one issue in his campaign is wealth inequality, and he's tried to pitch economic solutions to fix problems with roots in very non-economic things like racism. He's also gotten criticism for playing to an idea of "You shouldn't vote for Clinton just because she's a woman" when that has never been a message in Clinton's campaign (he's also done this in more local campaigns he's run in the past).
So as a result of all this, Sanders has established a very narrow, dedicated base of young white male progressives, which is a problem in a race in which identity is such an important factor (as Trump has maintained his support largely through racism and sexism).
About a week ago, political analyst Mimi Rocah said on an MSNBC program that she couldn't quite tell what exactly it was, but that Bernie Sanders "makes [her] skin crawl" due to a general feeling of misogyny coming from him and his campaign. His base really latched onto this and started harassing her on social media, and even the campaign itself started releasing ads attacking her, prominently featuring Nina Turner, a leader in Sanders' campaign who proudly voted for Jill Stein in 2016 instead of Hillary Clinton.
The people participating in #BerniesEveryWoman are basically mocking how Sanders is claiming to be such a feminist, pro-woman candidate while slamming any woman who suggests that this is not so. It's very similar to the #BerniesSoBlack tag from 2016, which was essentially the same issue, but aligned on race, not gender, as Sanders had serious problems with being able to articulate any reason why black voters should ever vote for him, other than alluding to one time where he participated in an MLK Jr rally.
It's also worth noting that there *have* been major problems for Sanders in the realm of gender issues. In addition to the "Don't vote for her just because she's a woman" rhetoric that's popped up multiple times in his various campaigns, he's also released some very questionable written works in the past, including an essay on gender relations from when he was 30 in which he portrays [a woman fantasizing about being "raped by three men simultaneously"](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bernie-sanders-essay/), and another one from when he was 28 proudly claiming that [cervical and breast cancer are caused by lack of orgasms,](https://www.inquisitr.com/5271159/bernie-sanders-essay-cancer-women-orgasm/) and as such, schoolteachers should stop being "old bitches" by repressing sexual activity.
**TLDR:** Bernie Sanders has a really bad track record when it comes to gender issues. A week ago, an MSNBC analyst stated that Sanders "makes [her] skin crawl" when it came to gender issues, and since then, his campaign and online base has been attacking her for saying that. The hashtag is people mocking him for his lack of social awareness on gender issues, while still trying to present himself as a pro-woman candidate.

I think public sentiment is that pin point retaliation is okay. Others are against any action. Maybe some want full out war.

Answer: It’s just kind of business as usual to arrest protesters in authoritarian states like Russia, but it’s very easy for people in countries with guaranteed rights to forget about that because the right to protest is such a given for them. The post was presumably made to remind European citizens about the very different ways countries in the EU handle protesters compared to Russia. The poster and upvoters probably did this in part because they value guaranteed rights like the right to protest and partly to delegitimization Russia because it has been taking very aggressive actions to expand it influence in the last decade or so.

Answer: Current protest has the following reasons: In septeber is going to be an election for Parlament of Moscow. Many opposition politician are trying to registrate as a ccandiate. As there is no party, which would support them, they must satisfy certain conditions. One of them is to collect a few thousands signatures of supporters. Despite politican managed to find the supporters, they haven't been registarted as those signatures were named "corrupted" and "drawn". So people in Moscow try to make some pressure.

Answer: Moscow will hold municipal elections for the City Council in September. [MCC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_City_Duma) is a kind of regional parliament which does not have any real power. The authorities have decided not to allow any independent democratic candidates whatsoever to run in this election because they sense that even a symbolic success of the independent candidates could be a blow to the semblance of their legitimacy. They also know that people are increasingly fed up with this regime and that large-scale protests have been ramping up over the last year in various parts of the country for different reasons, so the risk is real.
Therefore, they passed on legislation in order to put an almost insurmountable amount of administrative and technical difficulties for the candidates even to be registered as such. Namely, the potential candidates have to gather a pretty huge number of signatures of their voters.
Surprisingly, several independent candidates have achieved the necessary threshold of signatures. Their candidatures were rejected nonetheless due to alleged formal errors. Many people saw it as blatant and humiliating stealing of the elections. Therefore, the demonstrations held last week, which were allowed by the authorities, saw some 22,000 in attendance. According to media sources, the authorities in the government didn't expect such a reaction and got unnerved by it to such an extent that they allegedly see an "orange scenario" in it (which means that they think the USA orchestrates the protestors to achieve the same results as in Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia - to overthrow the government). These sources also told the media that a special unit of the FSB was charged with the task of proving that the political opposition is in conspiracy with foreign powers and of silencing the most prominent democratic candidates with long prison terms.
A new demonstration on Saturday, July 29th was not authorized, most democratic candidates were detained beforehand. Tens of thousands of police forces were mobilized yesterday. Nevertheless, the protesters also arrived in huge numbers (10,000 according to police, so the real numbers would be twice or three times as big). During the day, police raided [Navalny.Live](https://Navalny.Live) studio and TV Rain studio, who provided live coverage of the events on Youtube. As expected, there were beatings by police and 1373 people were detained (most of them released after several hours), the editor-in-chief of Rain TV was interrogated by police for hours.
Independent candidates have announced new protests for next Saturday.
Since 2008, protests like these have been happening on a regular basis, several times a year. Every time, protesters get beaten, detained, fired from their jobs or thrown out of colleges, some of them imprisoned for 3 to 4 years.

Answer: people are missing the point here. The question wasn’t why they are protesting but why so many are detained. The reason why so many are detained is because it’s an unsanctioned protest. In Russia you have to get your protests approved by the city government or you will get arrested.
