10% of profits would not be 10% of the box office gross. Likely the studio would have found a way to claim Avatar lost money.

I don’t really see an issue here honestly. The circumstances suck without a doubt. But she lied, got caught, lied again, tried forging a medical document to justify her lie and got caught again. These Olympic athletes know they need to be available, anytime, anywhere for drug testing. She had been suspended for a year…

Odd that so many people (including this article) view Nintendo as the bad guy here. I get that they’re ruthless and that the $2.1M number is big, but he was only required to pay $50/mo as his punishment.

because as far as I understand it raw bones aren’t nearly as big an issue as cooked.

“This is what’s known as the “Streisand effect,” a term coined in 2005 to explain the internet-age phenomenon wherein trying to hide discrediting, embarrassing, or otherwise not-meant-for-public-consumption information only results in its proliferation.”

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the car is angled into traffic and the wheel is turned waiting for the opportunity to make the left turn?

His daughter committed suicide. There was no pretending.

“Yeah, you follow the golden rule: Anything is fine, so long as it doesn’t affect anyone else.”

Deserted roads have an annoying tendency to have cars pull out of side streets / driveways, bikers or joggers on the shoulder, people walking their dogs...etc.

According to a guy on Reddit, the actual thing that happened was the driver leaned over to pick up something from the footwell, and the car started rolling. He tried to push the brakes to stop it, but stomped the throttle instead, and probably panicked when it shot forward.

Not sure I am a supertaster, but I can’t stand bitter tastes (I’m a bitter supertaster?) so the only way I can have grapefruit is cut in half with generous helpings of brown sugar sprinkled over it and warmed up in the oven till the sugar is slightly caramelized. Even then, occasionally one will be too bitter for…

Looks like he and his team ran in 2017 to benefit No Kid Hungry.

My in-laws live in Beijing, and long before the COVID-19 outbreak we got masks because some days you’d need it to protect from the smog there.  We’d been using them since our state mandated that we wear masks in public, but I guess I’ll have to start looking for new ones.

Isn’t it Polish for ‘buttercup’?

There’s plenty of case law that contradicts your armchair analysis. But let’s ignore that for a second, and ask: why should we ONLY be concerned with the specific details of legal culpability? That’s an awfully narrow thing to argue, and here it has the effect of letting an obviously negligent corporation off the…

Quitely’s work is easy to spot because everybody looks like a potato.

Yeah, I want to low-key call bullshit on the headline, because that wasn’t what happened. “Black Navy Sailor Shot and Killed By Man Attempting to Steal Car” would be accurate, and is still tragic, even though Attempted Thief doesn’t appear to have been acting out of racism, which is what I assumed had happened when I…

What exactly makes me scum? I try to judge people based on their character and actions as I would have others judge me based on mine. What’s so wrong about that?
