pentyne posted:The original Friday Night Lights started from a reporter decided to cover Texas HS football and absolutely shocked at what he saw and a quick profile turned into a full year story. Basically, every week the team didn't win people would call in to local radio stations and complain that the players spent too much time in classes learnin' and no enough time footballin'. I remember that there was a kid in that who was injured and lost all his perks as a "student-athlete" and that included someone doing his homework for him and grading easier on tests. He was quickly failing all his classes.

How are u posted:The Redtail Hawk bill was the kind of symbolic poo poo that state legislatures love to pass all the time. It's the same poo poo that used to pass unanimously not even ten years ago, a completely worthless feel-good piece of legislation that makes a small interest group happy in a symbolic way. Fun enough my state had something like that. A representative was asked to make Make Way for ducklings the official children's book of the commonwealth. However some people in the western part of the state wanted it to be a Dr. Seuss book. They had to copmpromise and Dr. Seuss was the official children's author and Make Way for duckings was the official children's book. It took a couple of years.

Strobe posted:I think the whole "covertly adopted system of illegal state-sponsored extortion" part didn't really fit that beautiful idea of "checks and balances", Joe. But clearly, the system is working as intended if you have to pursue private legal action in order to not pay the exorbitant processing fees in excess of a thousand dollars in a $10 fine. Bootstraps

GutBomb posted:Frivolous lawsuits are like people abusing welfare or voter fraud. They are very small isolated problems that get blown up by the media and people think they are widespread. The Mcdonalds coffee lawsuit is also a lot bigger than just hot coffee. quote:Liebeck's attorneys argued that at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C) McDonald's coffee was defective, claiming it was too hot and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment. McDonald's had refused several prior opportunities to settle for less than what the jury ultimately awarded. The jury damages included $160,000 to cover medical expenses and compensatory damages and $2.7 million in punitive damages. The trial judge reduced the final verdict to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided.

Xibanya posted:Anti humor requires the audience to already have outside knowledge of standard humor structure. Anti humor is funny because it subverts expectations. You think a bunch of kids have consumed enough media that they understand that kind of meta game? At this point we're still trying to get them to understand standard storytelling structure. They are also stressed out beyond belief and then getting these insane questions.

I doubt he'll use the main bit of the show to talk about it but I'm sure he'll mention it at the start. I hope he mentions this image because it's really funny in an infuriating kind of way: You can expect him to talk about it a bunch on this weeks Bugle if it comes out (gently caress you Chris)

Undeclared Eggplant posted:I don't know how big the FIFA organization is, but it seems like they arrested everybody high up except Sepp. And even better, Sepp is up for re-election on Friday. Given all the corruption and arrests, I don't see how he could possibly be reelected, but I'm sure that will happen (maybe even unanimously?) Well its all up to the people who elect him, and that man is Sepp.

sbaldrick posted:Not everyone knows every loving social media or website out there and honestly one of the points that they tried to make is in a lot of places it's not even illegal to harass someone on the internet in the United States (which doesn't even take into account everyone in the rest of the world.) A recent example of this in Massachusetts is when a guy was found not guilty of taking upskirt photos with his cell phone. The only reason that he got away? The law did not mention the certain crime as it was not possible when the law was written. The loop hole was closed, and this is another situation when laws need to be changed.

Veskit posted:The best analogy I can give is how the Reverand Al Sharpton is a loving a moron but he's on the right side of human rights. His message is good but god drat the guy is a loving idiot. I kind of look at anita like that. Sure she's fighting the good fight for women but sometimes she says things that are so inexplicably dumb I can't help but dislike her. She's pretty insufferable as a person so the loving stupid MRA guys have tons of ammo to dislike her for both nefarious and legitimate reasons. I mean this happened which I'll laugh until the day I die how loving dumb this is Separate but equal!!! In one report I read it said that 3 out of 5 schools separated by race are equal to ones that are not. bobkatt013 fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jun 24, 2015 |

Irish Joe posted:A woman who organized an online crusade against a person for the crime of performing music she didn't like (and therefore no one should be allowed to listen to it, according to her deranged mind) getting much deserved comeuppance when the person she targeted decided to fight back and use her own weapons of harassment against her. Its almost poetic. I do not believe her weapons of harrasment included death and rape threats
