FiddlersThree posted:EDIT: Additionally, I guess a good chunk of the daughter's friends on Facebook were current and former students of the school in question. My edit too, though. They tried to gently caress him, they failed, they agreed to pay damages to escape a costly and embarrassing loss in court, and as a condition of the payment they required everyone to hide the fact that they'd even settled? Sorry but that's idiotic. Crowing about winning a settlement is very different from "They admitted fault and paid us 80K".

It's for the dumbass daughter. I mean, holy poo poo. Look at this girl. EDIT: Granted, I'm sure that publishers sought out the most obnoxious picture of her that they could find, but her gloat-post doesn't do much to dispel the impression that she's a giant tool who screwed her own father by being a dipshit.

You say this, but you also said: flakeloaf posted:e: not that the guy's daughter wasn't poking the beehive with her comments, but the employer tried to screw over her dad and deny him what was rightly theirs. He's still very much the good guy in all this. So unless I've missed something, you're basing your opinion on what the employer did on the fact that there was a settlement. Isn't the point of a settlement that there isn't a decision and no guilt one way or the other? You decided what happened already and it makes sense that the school would not want more people to jump to that conclusion, so no it's not idiotic.

Nah, in the US the purpose of the settlement is to avoid costs that can be prevented and to buy off one of the parties if possible. It's in no way about guilt, only about money and the chances of the parties involved to win the case which dictates the settlement amount and which way it goes.

Unless I'm just misreading it, I think we're agreeing. A settlement means there's no guilt being assigned, but the person I quoted the first time has obviously decided who's guilty based solely on the fact that there is a settlement to begin with.

Thwomp posted:It actually ended more bleakly than that. A girl of maybe 15 or 16 (born to the main character who was pregnant at the outbreak of nuclear war) gives birth (after getting maybe raped) to a still-born mutant baby. The scene cuts as she's about to scream in horror at the child. That's pretty much exactly what the guy you quoted said?

I just started watching a show called Prison Wives on Amazon Prime. I fired it up expecting to enjoy quietly judging people for their indefensibly stupid life decisions, but it's turning out to be so goddamn tragic that it's hard to laugh. These are sad and broken people, desperate for human connection, or so traumatized by the intimate partners in their lives that they only feel safe loving people they know will never be allowed out from behind bars. I'm going to plow through a few more episodes and hope to find one of those snotty, arrogant people who is all confrontational and cocky about his or her stupid decisions. They're fun to hate. These lonely emotional cripples are bringing me down.

I think I'm the one that misread, sorry. You're right that no guilt was assigned judicially, regardless of actual fault/guilt.

Jummy posted:You say this, but you also said: Well, that and the initial allegation is pretty hard to deny. But you're right, a settlement usually doesn't include any admission of anything and just because one exists doesn't mean anyone's guilty. Michael Jackson did not abuse that Chandler kid, for example. What's the harm in saying that though? A settlement was reached, everybody is happy, nobody admits anything, now sports. The fact that his idiot daughter cost herself the benefit of that settlement? Delicious schadenfreude.

Henchman of Santa posted:Oh dear, this happened in my hometown. Reminds me of how Terry Kath from Chicago died. He was playing around with a semi-automatic at a party and put it in his mouth, forgetting there was a bullet in the chamber. I'm pretty sure he's the most famous person to win a Darwin Award. John-Erik Hexum. Soap opera star. Stage gun, a .44 Magnum revoler loaded with blanks, he thought he'd be clever and put it up to his temple to play Russian Roulette. Turns out that the human temple isn't really thick enough to stop the exploding gases and wadding from a round of blank .44 ammunition.

She should hook up with that kid who got off on charges related to killing 4 people in a drunk driving accident he caused because his rich parents didn't teach him about consequences, seems like they would get along great...although here's to hoping daddy cuts her off because of this gently caress up. Actually, everything about this sounds like a great premise to a lovely sitcom about adorably stupid rich kids who don't understand consequences whose parents suddenly cut them off. I'm pretty sure the finale is about suicide, though.

Stare-Out posted:In fact, those gases were powerful enough to break off and propel a shard of his own skull through his brain, which is what killed him. When i was around 12 a classmate managed to kill himself with a "bobby pistol" (Is that translation right? Just a gun that goes "bang" but doesn't have a bullet). Don't know if a piece of skull was involved. So yeah, fake guns/ammunition can kill you if you're stupid and put it to your ear.
