Yeah, so when I go to shitpost and people start taking the posts seriously, I try to say hey folks, look where you are, this isn't a serious community, let's keep the shit light.

And so yeah, when folks shoehorn political agendas into literally any community they can, I'll point out how it's got nothing to do with the community, and how it's frustrating, because it does not further the community, it just furthers that person's (or bot's) agenda.

Thanks for giving me a reason to go look at the picture again. I enjoyed the joke, and then you had me enter a second dimension. Meme recycling.

These things were gold in boot camp. I'm sure they had them in college but I have no recall of them from my brief time there. But the three months I was at Parris Island, and the fact that dudes stole some from the chow hall and the whole platoon had to pay for it, will have me remember them forever.

I like it, because as a kid I wanted to be Peter Pan, and I can feel the same way for different reasons as and adult with a son and daughter.

Yeah, it's difficult to reconcile. We became intimately aware during Trump1. Why did we not have a Biden government release the files? Only logical conclusion is the logical one.

Just watched Hook with my daughter this weekend, so glad to see some obscure reference to it being made. Great flick, unfairly panned by critics, I won't stand for it. Bad form.

But Lemmy told me it's a simple thing to do.

And even more to the point, they've locked chat. But yeah, I play traine eater and dumb obbies with my kids, and it's whatever. Some games are mindless. Some games are just shitty platformers. Some games have them doing math. There's a real variety. They also get exposed to scammy nonsense, and I'm okay with them building up: A, their tolerance for bullshit, and B, their ability to sense out scams.

It always comes down to are you parenting or not.

Yeah, I guess I'm missing the point. You said only high value cases get lawyers, and I just knew that to not be true, and so that's what I said. Yeah, are people with 50/50 cases getting representation? Probably not. I certainly see enough pro se plaintiffs though, and from my perspective I understand why they can't find lawyers.

I see lawyers do it for anywhere from 10-50k settlements all the time. There's law offices that just deal in volume PI settlements.

Part of my job includes sitting in on meetings of land use boards, and the number of applications for warehouses, starting back around 2020, was astonishing. And yeah, we saw a major uptick in online sales and so it was an obvious reaction to that, but the conspiracy theorist inside me is bristling thinking that somehow this was all part of some CIA plot to have these places set up and ready to go.

Even during the pendency of some of these hearings, folks would bring out statistics from updated treatises suggesting warehouse propagation was oversaturated and that it didn't make sense to keep building them, but keep building they did. That's the part that really tips my tinfoil hat.

I see lawyers work on contingency every single day, for people who don't have a pot to piss in. It's also not generally out of the goodness of their heart, so I don't want to make it seem like they're philanthropists out here. If you have a case, odds are a lawyer will take it.

As far as defending a case, it's interesting. I watch insurance companies spend 10 times what a case is worth to settle for the sake of defending it. Lawyers go after insurance companies all the time because the insurance companies have deep pockets, and sometimes you get an easy settlement. This is definitely not some kind of defense of insurance companies either, they're the worst, but people will do their best to scam them wherever they can.
