http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_Footmen_Tire_You,_What_Will_Horses_Do%3F It's part of a genre that I was unaware of until last week called "Christplotation" and boy oh boy is it and its genre mates bonkers as gently caress.

zoux posted:I get all my internet legal advice from Warzawa and the dude with the avatar catastrophe. What a terrible, terrible idea, unless the question is "hey wanna vomit words about this dumb obscure law review article/drink until you can't walk while howling about Shelby County?" The only advice the internet - even lawyers on the Internet - should give is "uh get yourself a lawyer who isn't me". My (non-legal) advice is to watch the Sopranos because that show is great. Also the Bridge is really good as of season 1 episode 6. The Warszawa fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Aug 12, 2014 |

I never saw Jumanji but I'm pretty sure it wasn't amazing. Are you guys true-blue US Americans who should know good movies or are you FOREIGNERS who are unfortunately brainwashed by the bad movies we send you and/or the bad movies you make domestically until you become disaffected to the point that you join the local militia or terrorist group?

If you have a few seconds and you're an American citizen, can you please sign this petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pe...ne-west-africa/ My uncle went missing in Africa about 6 weeks ago, and it's unclear if there was a fatal accident or foul play.

I think I've just been too close to NH for too long.

They all floated into the ether, since time got rewound all the way back to 1969 and only the two kids know that anything was any different. (and possibly the future kids too, they never actually said) Gun shop guy has no memory of ever selling a gun for gold coins and therefore cannot be sad about it. I just watched Jumanji for the first time last Saturday, which became a slightly eerie coincidence yesterday.

Time rewinds 30 years. It's kind of grim because then the main characters are full grown adults in 12 year old bodies. Enjoy high school guys!

We lawyer-types get nervous because it's easy for our opinions to be constructed as Legal Advice, as in whoops, random internet person was my client because he listened to me about being able to sue his neighbor for playing his stereo too loud or something, and suddenly it's malpractice/incompetent representation and I'm disbarred and in jail. It's why you see us layer everything that could even remotely look like legal advice with all kinds of disclaimers, and why there are similar things in the forum rules. It'd be particularly impressive if it happened to me cuz I'm not even a lawyer yet!

The corollary to this is that anyone who announces online that they're a lawyer and proceeds to post legal opinions is probably a bad lawyer (or else they wouldn't be announcing that they're a lawyer and giving legal advice). (You can refer to this in the future as Alloy's Theory of Internet Lawyers).

Lawyers have actually been sanctioned for blog advice. Don't recall a forum advice one though. My favorite one is when a lawyer lost a motion before a judge, then trashed the judge on facebook. He was friends with the judge on facebook hahaha.

So, in 1991 the Feds invited a bunch of linguists, geologists, artists and others to the long term nuclear waste repository to, in part, come up with a way to keep an enduring marker system that would warn our future decendants that the facility was dangerous and off limits. This article is a good read about an interesting problem, that is, how to transmit a clear message 10k years into the future to people who might have zero shared culture with us. But you absolutely must listen to the kitty song, where an artist decided the best way to accomplish this goal was to genetically engineer cats that change color in the presence of radiation and then create folklore about how dangerous it was when cats started changing color. He wrote a folk song example, which is on that page.
