“The beauty of WhatsApp, along with other popular third-party chat apps, is that it allows you to message anyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re reaching out to friends, family, or new acquaintances, or if those people have an iPhone or Android.”

You know, I came here ready to eye roll at Cane’s, but I should have known better. Yeah, they should sue--good for them. And what the fuck kind of agreement is that?

I’m making an assumption here but I am guessing that the agreement with McDonalds was not part of the title but instead a secondary agreement as the article states the agreement was a noncompete made with the property owner rather than with the location itself. So likely it would have needed to specifically be…

I suspect over-enthusiasm in a down market and ignorance by the sales office of the mall’s own contractual history. Nevertheless, the mall legal staff had access to information that Raising Cane’s could not have had and the fact the mall had gone to McDonald’s to ask for a waiver for an entirely different restaurant…

it would apply here as well. Any restriction on the property has to be disclosed including business restrictions. and the “potential restrictions” defense is going to go right out the window as bad faith due to the obvious nature of the business. Especially given that the only way Raising Canes would know about the…

Is there anything less openly fitting the narrative capitalism pushes than a noncompete agreement?

Should have been one of the first utterances from the mall when approached by Raisin’ Canes. Illegal? I dunno. Unethical, yup.

Indiana has a residential Duty to Disclose law, but that applies to physical defects and I am not sure if it applies to commercial leases.  Still, pretty slimy on the part of the mall.

I think companies should start suing the people who use the cheats as well as the people making them.

While working from home, I have a physical device I can set my mouse on that keeps the cursor moving, so my laptop stays active. It’s ‘undetectable’ because I’m not plugging in anything, or running and software.

I mean I’m white so take everything I say with that note.

But there’s nothing even wrong with her hair, she’s just wearing it up, wtf is this commenter talking about? All these kids look like.... kids. I think this may be one of the most honest (looking) campaigns they’ve had.

Yeah my first thought on seeing the picture is “oh, it looks like a kid being a kid”. I have pretty much no place talking about black hair in any definitive way, so I’ll let Ashley do it way better than I, but I like the idea of kids looking like kids and including all the children in the same look. 

That’s a lot to lay on the tiny shoulders of a child. Do you feel this much “ire” every time you see a white girl with a messy bun? All children look unkempt after running around and playing all day, but only Black children get maligned as a disgrace to their entire race for doing what kids do. Can they ever just live…

As a white Aussie person I had to read the article to even understand what people thought was wrong with it, she looks like a completely normal kid to me. It’s really sad that white supremacy has given people a complex about the natural behaviour of their hair.

Yeah, no, I cannot compute feeling “ire” at ever seeing a little girl who looks like this or having the nerve to compare this hairstyle—which looks like the girl just got out of soccer practice for fuck’s sake—to minstrel imagery.

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

Being a fool in real life and online are two different things though. Most people who are quick to be outraged, wouldn’t be if it all took place off line.

People have way to much time on their hands to be outraged at this. People need to step away from the computer and go outside.

This isn’t a new thing. I remember all the shit that Gabby Douglas got at the Olympics, mostly from older black women, for not having perfectly styled hair. Girl is doing a back flip on a piece of wood 4 inches wide and landing on one foot, who gives a fuck what her hair looks like?
