He's not paying 1billion for a single defamation case. For one thing that's the sum of multiple cases against him, and the more significant thing is that he lost because he did not fight it through the legal process and got a default judgement entered against him, and the most significant thing is that this amount is awarded due to punitive damages.

The amount is not simply meant to compensate the aggrieved party. That would have been capped to a much smaller amount. However because of a continuous series of intentional deceit and fraudulent actions during the lawsuit itself, punitive damages were awarded instead, where the point is to set an example against such behavior in court cases.

That extra punishment is for the benefit of the legal system rather than the aggrieved, it was something he could have simply avoided by just fighting the court case through the normal legal process. He would have simply lost and would only have had to pay a fraction of that amount.

The point of the ability to punish subversion of the legal process is that otherwise, no legal consequence for ignoring the court, would mean that anyone could completely ignore the legal process (which is what he was attempting to do).

Damn, thanks for the tip, I gotta try this

All of them intend to vote for Trump in November, regardless of legal court findings, if they have any chance to vote form him, through legal means or otherwise they will all do it.

This comes off as very "Old man yells at clouds".

People will watch what they want to watch. It doesn't matter if you want them to watch something else. He's free to make non-superhero movies, and people will watch it if they prefer it. You can't dictate "taste" to people.

No, it explicitly does not work that way. If you share a game to another family member, and that family member plays that game, you are not allowed to play any other game at all on steam.

"A Steam library can only be used by one user at a time to play one game at a time. The same is true if that library is being accessed by another user via Family Sharing."

Came here to post this one. I saw that movie on the airplane without knowing anything about it, and immediately thought, "This movie was made by the guys who filmed the 'Turn Down for What' music video." I didn't even know their names, had to confirm my guess after landing.

Because the music video and their directorial style are that distinctive and memorable. It was not surprising at all that they got showered in awards, those guys are creative AF.

Click, it's a good movie. Adam Sandler has made bad movies but this isn't one of them.

I think Citizen Kane is going to be too old for me to relate to its presentation style.

Yeah, looking at foods based on their raw components also provides a useful alternative perspective on foods. Would you want to eat 3 cups of flour, + 1 stick of butter + 2 cups of sugar? Cake is kinda gross from that POV. How about an onion, a bell pepper, and a pound of chicken? That sounds a lot more like food.

There's whole sections of the supermarket with shelves of stuff that would hardly be recognizable, and feels like a ripoff considering that they're mostly just selling cheap components of sugar, flour, and fat

I lost 10lbs over last 2 months or so, my bench only fell from 325 to 315. 20lb drop seems like too much, have you been eating higher protein during the cut? Are you getting your carbs in before the workouts?

Thank you!!

Yeah, our company had hybrid available to everyone, so going remote was simply increasing the hybrid days to 100%. Our productivity skyrocketed because instead of having to waste 5-10 minutes per hour walking across a stupidly huge campus, or battling people for meeting rooms, we could just meet in virtual rooms, and instantly "teleport" to the next one. We had no commute, people would meet early or late, or during lunch.

Nobody asked us to work more but we did because we COULD. We were already fully aligned on hitting our goals, and being in the office was an obstacle rather than an aid. We're increasing our in-office days over the overwhelmingly negative feedback (why even ask for input if you're just going to ignore it?). I'll just have to mentally pull back on available bandwidth for the time wasted on in-office days, reject more meetings, and extend deadlines accordingly. I'll need to free up all that extra time for the small talk and "networking" they want me to do instead of working.

Yeah, when the court and the law lacks objectivity or ethics, this sort of thing happens. That's why a functional court and rule of law is needed to provide an orderly pressure release valve for accumulated injustices.
