Reply to TIL: Because Nintendo could not get the rights to the Popeye cartoon character, they came up with Mario instead. by A_Bruised_Reed
Funny thing is that Nintendo actually published a Popeye game for the C64:

Gameplay was a little similar to Donkey Kong

I am sorry, bit i find it hard to find sympathy for the poor guy, who just wants everything to be done his way.
If you're feeling bored in-between blocking girls from going to school, stoning people or generally resisting society moving past the 15th century, I am 100% serious that you should go find a nice cave instead. The rest of society will be better off for it

The phrase 'boo fucking hoo' springs to mind. Maybe head back and cosplay a "badass in a cave" snd let normal people live their lives again.
Or move to Montana and play guns with the assholes there who want the same thing.

Smacks of Lèse-majesté... I thought you guys got rid of that in 1789
Any kind of incitement to violence, hate speech or similar should if course be illegal towards authorities as it should be against all others, but just insulting people seems ridiculous

Easy to get arrested for 7 words, happened to lots of people..."Hand over the money or I shoot" or "she said she was 18, i swear"
