You are half right. If a jury is involved the judge can’t decide the case on if they are hungry. Most (not all) judges will give more attention to a superior court case, but it’s not a guarantee.

Small claims court isn’t like the big boy court. The judge doesn’t have to follow all the normal rules, there is no ‘prove beyond 51%’ - that’s superior court.

My years of service badge says Sept 19th 2004.

My account is 13 years old - and it doesn’t use an email address for an account name.

That used to be how both sides would talk about each other - it’s only been from Bill Clinton onward that we’ve devolved into a snarling mass of ‘us vs them’ - TBH religion is the biggest cause - first because of roe vs wade. Second because of the blowjob. The first is a wedge that started the cause to ‘block vote’…

My *un*popular opinion...?

What? You can’t possibly imagine it. The outrage meter was pegged because he wanted to have a *beer* with two people as a ‘reach out and show we can be regular people’ type of thing.

I think that’s bullshit frankly. CEO pay increased because of tax laws. Back in the early 80's - if you made over 3 million in a year - 98% of the ‘over 3 million’ went to taxes. So companies didn’t pay CEO’s more than that really because it was a waste of money.

Well to be fair, Bill Cassidy does not care about you or your opinion if you are from Louisiana.

Yes - well even a broken clock is correct twice a day lol.

They do. Most of the time they just hire the person and have them do something new which then means the copyright is owned by the company - because that’s cheaper than just buying rights.

I think better cops in this country would take a host of factors.

So, technically, yes *all* mods feature copyrighted material and it’s not legal (or at least it’s a legal gray area) to charge for them.

I mean - this entire experiment kind of started over a revolt on a tax on Tea - we Americans take drink taxes seriously.

This isn’t even open to debate. The ACA mandates that coverage be given to certain people for free. It’s as basic an entitlement program as you can have.

ROFL not a single person gets insurance because the insurance company is forced to cover them for free dumbass.

Well after listening to the rhetoric that “the market will work things out” - it sure seems like ‘millennials’ are taking that to heart and voting with their wallets after seeing what ‘consumer activism’ achieved for mom & dad.

This is because the Tesla doesn’t look like a used piece of turd. People who want something like that already bought a Prius.

hot take: Unless they are white women - in which case they’ll vote for a pussy grabbing, asshat that doesn’t give a damn about productive rights.

Guns. It’s a huge wedge issue that we’ve lost on. Lost.... like not really making any progress even in the most Democrat of Democrat places. The crazies have actually taken over the gun messaging.
