None of these had any person in particular accused, so I think that's going a bit far. But the article that had the guy burning the church for sure had him tried for arson of a place of worship, even if they dropped any charges of a hate crime.

e: Also, of at least minor significance: all of the ones you posted were planned and forethought things. The one posted earlier was a guy who managed to stab himself by mistake, and then decided he would not only post about it on Facebook in the moment, but also blame somebody else for it.

To be fair, the church itself is flooded.

To be even more fair, Osteen and his family got the gently caress out of Dodge last week and are sitting pretty in another home upstate, and he's done gently caress-all but tweet inane "thoughts and prayers/God's got this" platitudes, so gently caress him regardless.

In today's crossover between bad with money and schadenfreude, It Came From Reddit

quote:

I signed for a car for my cousin and she wrecked it with no insurance. I'm getting sued. What should I do.

I live in Arkansas and my cousin asked me could I co-sign a car for her. Went to the dealership in Louisiana and they convinced me to sign for it because I had good credit and it would lower her payments and she would have Arkansas tags which are cheaper. Well she never payed the notes on time and when I tried to get the car from her she blocked my number and I lost contact with her. She wrecked the car and didn't have any insurance so I'm getting sued by an insurance company and she abandoned the car at a repair shop. What can I do about the insurance company suit and I got in contact with her and she said she will sign anything or do anything to get this off my credit report and put the repoed car in her name. Thank you

Edit: the car is in my name but she was driving it. She had usaa auto insurance on it when it left the lot but she obviously stopped paying on it too.

quote:

OP, I have bad news for you.

From reading your other comments, it sounds like you are the only one on the loan, you are the only one on the title.

The situation is this:
* You legally own the car, by yourself
* You are the one who legally owes the bank the $27,000
* I am not 100% sure what the $5000 is, but I assume it's a liability from the accident, caused by your cousin who was using YOUR car. This may be her bill, but since the car is in your name and there' no insurance, they are coming after you.

Very expensive life lesson: You legally owe $27,000 to the bank, and might owe $5,000 to the insurance company (fighting that means you personally fighting an insurance company).

Imagine that you’re Ousmane Dembele, an extremely talented young soccer player and possibly one of the best players in the world in a few years.

Barcelona have just signed you for 135.5 million pounds, the second-most expensive player of all time, and you’re replacing the most expensive player of all time.

You’ve passed your medical, signed your contract, and now it’s time to present you to the fans.

I'd figure $1.78 a bottle is a pretty poo poo price when stocking a vending machine even for a name brand.

I assumed they were for stocking the station’s own vending machines, but then again, since when do gas stations have vending machines? Just pay at the counter.

Those bottles are supposed to be stocked in the machine itself, it looks like the gas station owners just decided to skip the middleman and not even bother with that.

It's the same thing if you put them individually in a cooler. The point is that they're priced for individual and not bulk-off-brand sale.

Sorry, I wasn't referring specifically to the Texas situation. I mean come on, if I wanted to make a hilarious observation about that I would have said "you don't even have to go outside, just pick up a cup and swing your arm and hey presto, free water" or something extremely witty like that.

I see your "lived in Brisbane" and raise you "also lived out west where we had artesian bore water in the water taps at school". You get used to it.

Weird. My Brisbane water taste fine, and I drink it straight from the tap more often than not. Like Weatherman said, go get some bore water if you want to complain about the taste.

It’s not a huge deal, but juggling is one of those skills you learn as a child to develop ball control, so it’s pretty funny.

Doing it in a game is sometimes seen as showboating, and it might end poorly:
