Usually depositions are set up while taking into account the witness’s preferences and personal schedule. The delay requested wasn’t super long in the scheme of things and although it was contested (which is why the judge was involved in the first place), I think the bar for forcing a deposition in a certain date is…

Depositions get postponed/rescheduled all the time.

I cannot get over the fact that these exploration teams don’t operate with some kind of helmet protocol when exploring uncharted worlds.

Hell, they can set up on a sidewalk or storefront with permission right next to / across from the church and still sell cookies to 90% of the parishoners. And they get to learn a good lesson at a young age as to why the Girl Scouts are secular and why Christianity isn’t really a good choice when it comes to “gangs to…

Sort of tangential, I’ve actually started to wonder whether, at least where I’m from, the Girl Scouts are a bit more relevant in general.

I’m wondering if this is because Boy Scouts have God-type stuff in their manifesto. Or something, all I know is my militantly atheist husband doesn’t want our sons to join bc of the religious angle. Maybe Girl Scouts is too secular for this church? Or the Archbishop is just a blatant misogynist, whichever.

I think my gripe is that their performance is contingent on access to non-standard hardware. In football they make a big stink if you deflate the ball I hear.

Fairness of the controller nothing, if they’re insisting on using malfunctioning controllers and refusing to use the majority of in-game arenas, you KNOW there’s a problem.

Am I the only one that thinks that any standardized competition should use standard controllers? I mean, it is not an unfair advantage if the controllers themselves are different? And since a technical failure is not by definition under control (no pun intended) of the organizers how does it not become an important…

Too hard to find monitors? Go to any estate sale, they’ll often give CRT TVs away for free.

I just like the logic of “BRO CAN’T PLAY WITH ITEMS AND CAN ONLY USE CERTAIN MAPS BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT SKILL BRO” and then endorsing the use of broken controllers to do moves that were never intentionally supposed to be part of the game in the first place.

No, in this case it’s like if Pete Sampras only played with rackets from a certain batch because the frame is crooked making certain types of moves now possible.

that’s a really good point, talk about not making lemonade with life’s lemons. it’s really bad sportsmanship, goes against the spirit of true competition. “a poor artist blames his tools” or some such quote.

Smash is fun, but the controller thing is crazy. Pros know that only 1%-3% of controllers are viable, yet people will aruge about the “fairness” of the Smash Box controller.

You should have seen the original draft, where the girl was offering the bull a Pepsi.

The only real difference (and why I’m not laughing at him entirely) is that the Fearless Girl was the work of an ad agency and is therefore purely corporate.

Because these are the type of people that regular taxis recognize not to stop for.

Truth is, the only person who’s life is at risk is Kats himself

About one-third of all Americans think that you have to be a Christian to truly be an American

I think a lot of hyper-religious, conservative men have totally bought into the idea of women (other than the wife) as temptresses and men as being uncontrollable in terms of sexual desire. The only way to avoid giving into their baser nature is to avoid temptation. In this case, this means not going anywhere alone…
