Thank you for saying this. There is this idea that the US is highly litigious and that we’re all taken advantage of the legal system. It’s predominantly a narrative propped up by corporations in order to discourage lawsuits. I understand why other countries repeat it. They really don’t understand that a suit might be…

It can also reflect the plaintiff exhausting other avenues for compensation, the fact that the plaintiff was a minor at the time, and the fact that the plaintiff’s mother was employed by the defendant and thus may have feared retaliation. Four years is not that long, really, and people can wait even longer.

Re: The delay in filing - Having had injuries that seemed like they would be not a huge thing at the time and that ended up affecting me for the rest of my life, this makes sense to me. Often times the full, long term impact of an injury doesn’t become apparent until months or even years later. 

$850,000 seems like a slightly alleged high price point for a dog attack that occurred four years ago and yet wasn’t important enough to file a lawsuit over until now

Her mom was employed by Milan, so that may have been why she held off on the lawsuit. If the statute of limitations is about to run out, she would have to file if she wanted anything.

Outta touch rich guy thinking this will help his kid have a ‘normal’ life. If I was able to make enough money that my kids wouldn’t have to worry about going into debt to get an education, or having to work their entire lives, I would give it to them in a heartbeat. Being poor sucks and I never want people I helped…

This. The “American Work Ethic” is nothing more than a long con by the rich to convince the poor that drudgery is noble. So noble, in fact, that the rich aren’t worthy to partake.

Anderson Cooper is already practicing tough love on his son Wyatt saying that he will not be leaving behind an inheritance when he dies.

Charlie Day as Luigi and Jack Black as Bowser is some inspired casting, IMO

I know that The Internet turned on Chris Pratt shortly before Parks & Recreation ended, going so far as to suggest he’s a Trump supporter, but…why are we suddenly badmouthing Anya Taylor-Joy and CHARLIE DAY?

Some dogs feel the need to piss on every hydrant.

It's one of my biggest pandemic pet peeves. It's crazy how little people understand about the idea of ventilation, which seems fairly simple. "But it's outdoors!" So was every building before you put up walls and a ceiling. 

This one Italian place that I love said they had “outdoor seating” and a “heated patio”. What they really meant was that they converted their outdoor patio space into an indoor space thus making it no longer a patio, just another room.

Baller move. Yeah, don’t tell people things will be outside and then just construct a building in an outdoor space. That just makes it inside again! I’ve seen so many restaurants do this - offer outdoor space, then essentially build another building in the street with four walls and a ceiling. You just recreated…

Sometimes there aren’t a lot of options and you take the deal you’re given.

That lawsuit against Manson was one of four, and it was dismissed due to the statute of limitations. Per Rolling Stone: Judge Dismisses One Lawsuit Accusing Marilyn Manson of Sexual Assault; Rocker [currently] faces three additional sexual assault suits

Best dressed for sure, and on theme. 

Dan Levy’s look is a tribute to American artist (and AIDS activist) David Wojnarowicz. It is inspired by his piece “F**k You F**got F**ker”. His purse is printed with the piece “Untitled (One Day This Kid...)“, which makes me cry and I can’t imagine carrying it around all night without bursting into tears but I think…
