Yeah but that’s because you don’t have to care for one.

Military compensation, even at the bottom, isn’t all that bad (being a 12-year veteran who enlisted at the age of 17 at the rank of E-1). The overall compensation package is better than just about anyone with a high-school diploma could ever find elsewhere. Housing, Food, Medical, Technical-Training....all 100%…

Not really, pay for people above the lowest ranks is really decent once benefits are included.

“We are coming”

There was no one else to sue. And some really shitty lawyers convinced them they could win.

It’s a striking omission, particularly since the U.S. Department of Justice estimates that one in five women are raped during their college years.

This kinda feels like this crossing the line. What the woman did was wrong, ironic, kinda funny, but she didn’t harm anyone, and I thought her getting fired in the first place was too much.

This is like an economic suicide bomber. A person suffering so much that they are willing to go after those who were not responsible and, in the end, seriously harming themselves.

I’m kinda with this. Also, HOLY FUCK litigation is expensive. It’s not like the plaintiffs made the cinema get the most expensive lawyers they could find, and why then should they have to foot the bill according to that choice. Seems there should be a fair market price that should be paid and the difference is just…

I mean, the initial lawsuit might be the poster child for frivolous lawsuits in the US had it won... A movie theater should have foreseen a mass shooting and is in some way responsible? Maybe people should think twice before trying to extort money out of anyone, regardless of how big a chain it is.

Not really. Hopefully people will think twice next time an ambulance chasing lawyer calls them.

enh, whatever. free app and I’d like it to stay free. be like adblocking gawker, then they would have no money to run the site or to pay off lawsuits.

Not sure how you can just toss someone out of a hotel based on an accusation. So if I get in an argument with someone I can just have them booted by accusing them of assault? I would think some video corroboration would be necessary at the least.

Zoos are vital for conservation efforts, for endangered species. Opening them to the public is a necessity to keep those efforts funded. How well things are managed is the problem.

Oh, and humans are apex predators who, if they were to opt out of eating other animals entirely, would royally fuck over the ecosystem.…

I think the age of the boyfriend is left out because the letter is probably trolling to see what the response will be. At least I hope that’s what is happening here. Particularly if whoever is writing Abby has been making some questionable calls on sexual questions, I can see someone sending that in to see if they…

Or better yet, let’s not do it. Let us no longer tinker with the machinery of death and instead live in a country that does not intentionally kill its own citizens.

Your friend is awesome and I’m happy it sounds like everything is working out for the best for both of them.

I understand why this was an upsetting experience, but tattoo artists refuse jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Many have a no necks, no hands policy - it’s quite common. And, as you discovered, what’s off-limits to one artist is totally okay with another - you were able to get exactly what you wanted in the…

It's a movie about "look how awful the world would be if we let the people I don't like breed too much."

BC and BU aren't state schools.
