Also it's more they clearly think they can work it like the US government and find a fixer to lobby for changes with enough money behind them. I'd wager anyone with that track record wouldn't interest them anyway, if they existed at all, as it'd probably be for creating more thorough regulations.

Kid comes up with a crazy plan for his promposal where he apparently gets in trouble with the cops ...... but they're in on the prank, whoooaaaa crazy! He got permission from the school resource cop and the school principal to run a stop sign on school property and then the cop would pull him over and the promposal would take place ...... the only problem is that they didn't consider all the other drivers on the road when they came up with this "deliberately blow a stop sign" plan and the obvious happens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPX98ru75uQ The injured kid is naturally going to sue the gently caress out of the school and the city

All you had to do was roll through the intersection at like 5mph for an excuse to get pulled over, what a colossal moron. In addition to sued he should be expelled. From society. e: If you drive a Porsche before your prom you're only fit for the salt mines anyway. Takes No Damage has a new favorite as of 08:46 on Dec 19, 2023 |

I loving hate that "promposal" is both a word that exists and one I already knew before that post. Just loving say "Hey, I like you, wanna go to prom?" or the equivalent in your own words. Not everything needs to be a viral video.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Who knew that sympathetic striking works? This is the thing, people will say "oh all these labor demands make it impossible for a company to work, so there just won't be jobs" and yet, McDonalds is making enough money off of Denmark restaurants that they still exist. Obviously they are making less money than they could if they didn't pay their workers a fair wage, but they're making enough that it's worth it to keep them open.

Air Skwirl posted:Yeah, I can't imagine what kind of lawyer would think this would work. Taking this case at all is probably malpractice.  it is that any lawyer would take this case.The initial lawsuit from Polychron demanded 250 million from Amazon & the Tolkien estate because original content from his fanfic work was used for the Rings of Power series. This was dismissed back in august as he couldn't provide any actual example of this. My best guess is that they were hoping for some "just go away" money from a settlement and that backfired badly.

To be fair making a big deal about asking someone to prom has always been a thing. I graduated in 2006 and a few people went extra on this kind of stuff. Sometimes it was a series of chalk messages around campus, sometimes it was a quick dance in the center of the campus followed by asking the question. A lot of kids rented cars for prom too.

What's the protocol with these? I'd assume it's like proposing, so you only do it if you are 100% sure the answer will be yes. But also, it's teenagers, so they are all idiots. Do they backfire often?
