Even then, it requires brass. If you can’t buy it/obtain it from anywhere, you’re talking about a really small segment of people able to procure ammunition- Sovereign Citizen crazies

Not a whole lot of people being killed by rocket launcher round these parts, is there? People can also pick locks, should we stop putting them on doors?

Let’s be honest, the Country would be vastly improved if the 2nd amendment was overturned tomorrow, and personal ownership of firearms was banned. Sure, it wouldn’t take the current guns out of circulation, but they’re just paperweights without ammunition. “Only the bad guys would have guns” but no ammo. It’s not like…

[Liberal gun owner who’d be willing to overturn the 2nd amendment here. Just to get biases out of the way.] 

Eh, you can bet your ass his attorneys told him multiple times, and in writing to cover their own ass from malpractice. He was informed, knew the risks, rolled the dice, and got his Pyrrhic victory.

Agreed, Nissan’s lawyers figured they’d bury this nobody, rather than play nice. Had he been bigger, or had Nissan been smaller, they might have tried to come to an amicable solution. But you don’t negotiate with ants, you crush them. Predictable result.

Would you spend $1000 to try to get your $40 back? No. Principle be damned, as an adult you need to be level-headed and stow emotion when making life affecting decisions. This guy wasted a decade of his life, $3m, lost his businesses, for what? The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. And you can bet his attorneys told him…

Eh. Not always. And if this was tied up for so long, you’re not doing that much litigation. This isn’t the sort of matter that requires a multitude of experts, or a million motions or depositions, etc. This was a churn job, keep the case churning along, and try to kill him with court costs.

Yep. A civil lawsuit can only get (or cost) you money. It doesn’t vindicate you, or make you feel better, or make the other side apologized, etc. All you can get is money. His attorney should have had better control of their client, because fighting “on principle” is a great way to go broke.

Win or don’t pay is “contingent.” They’ll take a percentage usually, but they want to be confident that they’ll win and/or get a settlement to make profit. Further complicating the matter, if your firm takes things on contingency, you win some and lose some. So your winners need to be able to cover the costs of that…

No. Legal fees and costs are not the same as “damages.” Damages are direct harm that the other side caused to you. Not that they can’t be substantial costs: if you ever read the annoying terms/conditions in a contract, you’ll usually see something along the lines that both sides are to bear their own legal costs.…

BMW indicator stalks are fucking weird, unlike standard ones, and I totally get why most drivers don’t use them (besides bring pricks). If you push it just a tad, it’ll flick the indicator for 3 clicks; if you push it all the way it’ll keep the indicator on forever until you push it again. Turning in that direction…

Mini Coopers have secret secondary glove compartments hiding just above the regular glove compartment

If you’re born on the bottom you don’t get the advantages of wealth, but the advantages of being white never go away. You’re more likely to survive a police encounter, more likely to be hired, less likely to be charged with a crime... the world gives you the benefit of doubt when you’re white, even if you’re no better…

This is common with the lowest whites and highest whites.

Lame attempt to wave away? Murder is a crime sonny-boy. That means it has a very specific set of factual elements that are required to be proven. It does not equate to “killing.” We all know OJ killed his wife, but he’s not a murderer. But let’s go to your very simplified definition.

See, we have these things called “letters.” They’re shapes made up of lines and squiggles. When you put them together they form these things called “words” which have a specific meaning. You may not be familiar with them. We throw them all together to make a sentence. This is used to communicate with one another.…

AND IF SHE WANTS TO GET AN ABORTION BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T WANT/CAN’T SUPPORT A CHILD, THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!

No golden parachutes (gratuitous severance packages) in government work. But he’ll probably land with some private sector outfit and make fuckloads of money in sweetheart deals using his old gov connections
