qntm posted:so why exactly didn't the truck have those metal bars along the sides which prevent vehicles from going under them known as a mansfield bar, named after a starlet who was killed after rear-ending a semi theyre only at the back of the trailer, but if they'd had that or those side or those aero kits, the bumper-height lidar would probably have picked it up lol Jonny 290 posted:Somebody in here bought a 1.6 million dollar house. If they are not completely touched in the head, that means they make at least $533,000 a year. Anything lower and they'd be literal familial/child abusers for taking on risk of that magnitude. or their parents kicked a huge deposit or are just paying the mortgage

even if the lidar hadn't picked it up, side bars would mean the point of impact would be the car body and crumple zones instead of the dudes head.

Is it legal to require your employees to sign away their rights to bring ADA / civil rights act lawsuits against the employer? Because I sure as gently caress don't think that's legal but my gf's company is giving everyone "a bonus!!!" if they sign this document that has an absurdly wide blanket waver section saying you agree to never sue based on "all claims for alleged fraud, concealment, negligence, negligent misrepresentation, promissory estoppel, quantum meriut, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, wrongful discharge, breach of covenant, violation of public policy, sexual harassment, constructive termination, retaliation and discrimination based on age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion, national origin, handicap, disability, or retaliation or any other factor protected by law"

sounds like a typical "not an enforceable contract but we'll put the idea in people's heads that it is so they won't ever even begin legal action" which seems surprisingly common and should be punishable if it isn't already

Yep. Something that clearly egregious is not only unenforceable it's likely illegal, it doesn't matter what you sign, that waiver is worth nothing in a real suit.

Whether you make $50k or $150k the lion's share is still going straight to rent or mortgage. If you make $150k in the bay area but can't quite afford a non-lovely place to live and decide to move elsewhere then rest assured wherever you move you will also be offered not quite enough pay to afford a non-lovely place to live. gently caress the property market and its black-hole effect on the productive economy.
