I believe there are multiple lawsuits occuring over the incident, some concerned with legal responsibility for members of the production over the woman's death and other separate but related lawsuits stemming from the statements many of those people gave publicly blaming each other in the immediate aftermath. So one…

Man, Hollywood people are funny. Standing on their artistic integrity while they slob the knob of any audience they can find. That’s why the first step to becoming a writer is to be a bullshitter first. Those kids in school, the ones who made up transparent, ridiculous lies about going to the Moon over the weekend? I…

Since this is a cross complaint I think the people named are also suing him at the same time so I’m not sure what else he can do if he thinks they’re purposefully tarnishing his name to shift blame from themselves.

Or it could be that morality is completely subjective or at the very least highly dependent on culture, time period and context. To the point that any people discussing it without previously having established rigorous definitions of what exactly they’re talking about are just playing word games.

I’m not sure that would have helped. I can’t think of any countries that were in the Sino-Soviet sphere of influence and are well-known for tolerance today.

Ah. If that was the point you’d think he would have hurled it through the door, maybe with some peons ineffectually trying to stop him. If you're going to take the sink part literally might as well turn it into a demand for entrance.

I still don’t get the point of that bit. The expression is “taking everything but the kitchen sink" and it refers to leaving a place, not arriving. I hope this isn't going over my head, it seems too dumb. Passing between my legs? We need a phrase for when the joke is too stupid to be intelligible.

The German government calendar includes a remembrance day for Kristallnacht so that a bot read the calendar and plugged the name of the day into a template for things like Thanksgiving is plausible. Just put a human in the loop and this sort of thing wouldn’t happen.

People who want to hurt them most likely, although I’m sure some get caught in rampages that have nothing to do with identity.

This sounds like a slippery slope argument and those are fallacies.

Awesome. Now I can read all your comments with an internal Crocodile Dundee voice. That should make this a lot more entertaining. Thanks.

He fired the press team at Tesla so that company has not responded to any inquiries in years. I wouldn't be surprised if he's done the same at Twitter.

Probably not going to happen but what if it turned out that he was really an inventor, not a sorcerer, and all his magic is just illusions and technology?

Thanks. It’d be nice if we could get this sort of information and discussion in the main text of an article rather than the comments section. Maybe they’re using this FOIA act as the beginning of a more detailed series but it seems like this article would have been a good place to explain the difference between…

Why not try to sell an ad-free user experience along with priority in feed, search and all that but without any visible indicator? No one wants to look like they pay for clout but plenty of people with something to sell, something to hype or just plain narcissism would like the advantages of popping up everywhere.…

First I just want to say that I agree with much of what you said about the background societal issues that cause our penalty system to be such an aberration among other countries with a similar political structure and level of economic development. All of that needs to be examined and changed. It does turn out,…

From everything I’ve read about the history of Federal Prison Industries it was started during the Depression by the Roosevelt administration to do pretty much what I supposed, provide rehabilitation while offsetting costs to the government. The trade name, Unicor, may make people think it’s a private company but it’s…

Does this whole scheme even work? I’d presume the original idea was both to provide training and distraction for inmates while offsetting some of the costs of incarceration by selling the products of their labor with them receiving compensation from the remainder.

All Google cares about is if you're trying to distribute malware, adult material or anything else that breaks their TOS. Most of which can be checked for by automated processes with a human somewhere in the loop for edge cases. The rest can be handled when they get reported. Being on the Play Store means that an app…

That's the idea behind the "Vampire: The Masquerade" tabletop RPG. Each generation further from the original is weaker than the one before. I believe in the game lore the biblical Cain is the first vampire.
