That is so upsetting. :(

I’m so sorry. :( I let all my friends’ messed up political posts and whatnot slide by, but I always correct the cancer woo. It’s just too important.

So disappointing. I hate to see people let themselves die believing bullshit.

Seriously? In that case, I’m more disappointed in him than I thought.

Not that I would ever be fruitarian, but if they’re doing it right, they shouldn’t be low on vitamins, fats, or protein. Nuts and seeds are full of protein, avocados are full of fat, and you’d have to be eating very little variety to not get a full range of vitamins (except b12, because we wash our fruits, but…

In fairness, pancreatic cancer kills most of the people it hits, no matter how smart they are about treatment.

It’s a physics lab, which almost certainly means multiple sections, and it specifically says “switched out” which is means he was probably just moved to another time slot that didn’t conflict with the rest of his schedule.

Well, either I’m saying that it happens in 100% of cases with absolutely zero outliers, or I’m using the term “always” in its slightly hyperbolic conversational sense. I’ll let you make the call.

YES. Abusers think they’re the ones being abused, but you can always tell which is which by which one is trying to avoid, and which is trying to force themselves into the other’s spaces.

The theatre couldn’t have foreseen this attack and metal detectors would be an overreaction, but it wouldn’t be difficult to arrange something that would prevent a door from being propped or alert security if it remained open for longer than normal. That would be reasonable, not inconvenient or overly expensive, and…

Unless I read it wrong, Cinemark filed the motion to have them charged for those costs when they could have just declined to take that step. Instead they actively asked for an amount of money—which for them is what, a day, day and a half’s profits?—that an average American would take nearly two decades to earn,…

Wasn’t she paralyzed? That amount probably wasn’t even enough to cover the medical bills she already had, much less what she’s facing for the rest of her life.

The theatre can’t foresee something like this, but didn’t someone mention that their faulty emergency door enabled his attack method? It’s not frivolous, it just wasn’t *enough* to find them liable.

As I read it, Cinemark didn’t have to file that request. They could have let those people pay their own legal bills and grieve without the spectre of more money than they’d probably make in a lifetime being owed.

I absolutely refuse to pay a subscription for a single network. I just don’t watch Colbert, sadly, since CBS won’t get with it and license to Hulu. I don’t pay Hulu the double price for Showtime, and I won’t pay a subscription for HBO. Hulu and Netflix have more than enough to watch, and if I get bored, I have Amazon…

I’m with you completely. The theatre wasn’t at fault, but the plaintiffs weren’t being frivolous or malicious... They believed in what they were doing. These are normal, grieving people with normal bank accounts, and for a hugely profitable corporation to have them forced to pay those legal fees isn’t just cruel and…

While I agree that the theaters shouldn’t be liable and needn’t ramp up unnecessary security, Cinemark should be paying their own legal fees. This lawsuit was ill-advised at worst, certainly not malicious or frivolous, and these families who have already lost so much should not be footing the bill for a corporation…

Wait, weren’t we all supposed to be angry that DNC members called Jeff Weaver an ass in those emails? It’s pretty clear that was accurate....

I, too, erroneously thought there was value in voting for Nader. I try now to share the life lesson I learned that year with those too young to have learned it for themselves.

Gotta lock in that 4chan vote.
