Sounds ridiculously gamey and contrived. Why not just write a story about a female operative (or something) and make films about that? The only reason to put it in the “same cinematic universe” is to coattail off Bond brand recognition, which would come at the expense of a reasonable plot.

So, he didn’t cosign the loan and didn’t put the car up for collateral, as the article makes clear. (Note the part where the bank returned the car and said it had no interest in it, a legal term meaning the car isn’t subject to any debts held by the bank.) 

It can be waived... voluntarily, by the person to whom the right belongs. You can be compelled with a grant of immunity. You’re looking up from the bottom of the grand canyon, stop digging. 

The victim  looks like the Twitch streamer Ninja. 

You might be right, but don’t confuse Avon with Disney or something - the Avon corporate headquarters takes up two floors of a Midtown building and probably has maybe 200 people. The vast majority of the labor force is probably “independent contractor salespeople” who work 100% remote and aren’t treated the same way…

Are you sure there’s no relationship? If the employer is designing employee benefits, and weighing the breakdown of the benefits against the budget available for those benefits, then they will have to pick between benefits to offer to employees. If they have an extremely generous parental leave benefit (which is…

I’m sure she only asked for a week; if you’re an employer and someone says “I’m a few weeks into a pregnancy and its already high risk and my doctor is putting me on bed rest” then probably you can connect the dots on how the rest of the pregnancy will go. 

Unless she was struggling a month into the job, and they were about to shitcan her, and so she disclosed her pregnancy and asked for an accommodation in an effort to forestall termination.

Technically speaking they could “do a movie about Steven” without buying any memoir rights at all. Nothing says they bought rights, in fact, just that they used some of what she wrote as source information. 

LOL SO FUNNY! Now if you read what you posted, you’d see that the Fifth Amendment bars the government from forcing someone to speak (including through a statement) in a way that might incriminate them. That means the government can’t force you to make a statement and then use that evidence to prosecute you. You can…

If you’re 40, you are not a millennial. You are a Gen Xer. 

Suggested correction: The requirement to get your drug directly from the manufacturer assistance program changed about 2 weeks ago. They now provide copay cards that allow you to get the Aimovig directly from your normal pharmacy (assuming that pharmacy is able to purchase some and have it in stock). The reason it…

Hawley is that you? 

Maybe with a tiny little bit of dental work. 

The government can’t force someone to make a statement and then prosecute them for that statement. That doesn’t mean they can’t ask someone for a statement and then prosecute them. Anyone arrested or interviewed by the police has the right to say nothing and respond to no questions. That includes other cops. Because…

Not a lot of 50+ year old Marines fighting in Vietnam, was he a general? Lucky guy, for 99 he looks like he’s about 65. 

No kidding, she’s Italian. I always assumed she was Latina. 

I think she meant “reporting” in terms of reporting relationships (i.e. who is whose boss). But maybe not, I immediately thought it was meant to be rapport as well until I read the rest of the paragraph. 

Because it’s his duty as a lawyer to raise all possible defenses for his client. Its boilerplate because it effectively must be asserted. 

Plenty of people die by being punched in the head. Boxing is a sport where you risk your life with every passing second, MMA seems quite a bit safer.
