Imagine a trial where one of those cryhards told the family how very sorry they were, and the family immediately, on record, said “We are grateful that Karen McWhitetears is genuinely contrite, and we love and support her choice to redeem herself by accepting her conviction and serving her assigned sentence.”

Dude is the same racistfuck troll who puts ‘woke’ in all of his usernames. Flag, dismiss.

This. Filing a routine appeal (and this is a paint by the numbers kind of appeal) doesn’t magically get her excused from prison.

If he’s relating what she said accurately, she is an actual doctor who thinks metaphoric rap lyrics about WAP mean a yeast infection. So I’m not sure she can do better than this, or at least that she thinks she can do better.

As the photo credit says, it’s a stock photo.

C’mon, man. Even by the standards of his time he was incredibly goddamn racist. Lovecraft scholars acknowledge this and its influence on his stories. You don’t have to try and minimize that in the interests of saying that Cthulhu is cool.

whoops

I largely agree with you except for the favorable comparison between Above the Law and Jezebel. For all its many shitty faults, Jez at least doesn’t provide logrolling for the shitty right-wing FedSoc elite.

“I never thought it would happen to me, but there I was, minding my own business when WAP popped up on my browser and seized control of my computer!”

He launched his career in wingnuttia by bragging about how he was going to stay a virgin until marriage.

Ehhh, I wouldn’t say fraud so much as trying to do clever lawyering. As someone else pointed out in another comment, it’s not at all unusual for this to be an appropriate maneuver in a situation where the insurance company is being shitty.  

But what else are you supposed to do if an insurance company denies a third-party claim or otherwise refuses to indemnify, and the underlying tortfeasor (i.e., the insured) is uncollectible?

I ask those people “If this coffee is so obviously hot and dangerous, why are they selling it in the drive through, where right after you hand it to the customer they are going to have it in a moving car?” 

The last article I recall Jez posted about him harped on, not only the amounts involved and that he sued for more money beyond the initial payout (as if to pain him as litigious), but also the fact that he had sued his close friend, as if that were some reflection on the type of man Cawthorn is: he sues his friends,…

It’s not a disconnect in their minds.. They believe that the court system is for them, other members of their class, and their businesses to enrich themselves and protect their property. “Tort reform” is just their outrage that ordinary plebes might have access to that system, much less hold their betters accountable.

Protective equipment in those jobs has been normalized, though, partly due to workplace regulations. Wearing masks to protect against disease hasn’t been. A generation or so ago, these guys were the same ones complaining about seatbelt laws because only pussies wear seatbelts.

Ironically, this is good advice! Thought I would quibble slightly with your second paragraph. Sometimes the person asking for advice doesn’t really know what they want in asking, or there’s a mismatch between what they think they want and what they actually want. It’s difficult to try and be more aware of a person’s…

....she doesn’t know what WAP stands for, does she?

I doubt he even listened to or watched it. Most likely he glanced at the LA Times story about the video and delivered this fill-in-the-blanks rant about how (thing involving Sex and maybe The Gay) destroys families and needs strong father figures, blah de blah blah.

All great for unsolicited advice, which we could all probably do to offer a lot less of. Harder is when advice is solicited but retroactively unwelcome.
