It is interesting to think about. What, actually, would happen if they did this? Would there be an uptick in protestors? Or would people be cowed? This isn’t France, part of me thinks people would just roll over.
Bro, when the army of the dead told you to be anti-vaccine it’s because they were trying to grow their numbers.
CA has some of the most protective employment laws in the state, and, accordingly, there are lots of plaintiff-side employment law firms in the state.
These firms will typically give you a free consultation (something to confirm ahead of time) to determine whether you have a case worth pursuing, and represent you on a contingency fee basis (e.g., 30% of your award, again, definitely something to confirm). They then typically will file a lawsuit and try to settle very quickly, and if the defendant is a big business, it’s standard practice for the defendant to just immediately pay off these so-called nuisance lawsuits.
Worth noting that a quick, cheaper settlement often benefits the lawyer more than you: I.e., they could spend 20x amount of the time to triple the payout, or, in that same amount of time, they could get another 19 quick settlements - it’s more money in the lawyer’s pocket to settle quickly. That’s not to say every plaintiff’s side law firm is like that, of course. And of course, there’s a benefit to you in getting dollars in your pocket right away from a quick settlement rather than a protracted legal case as well.
What is the Lebanese army doing? Is it just sitting this out while Hezbollah and Israel fight over southern Lebanon?

The size of the centipede is distorted by Mercator projection, it’s not that big, don’t worry.
This was not a good comment to read directly after sipping coffee
Has plastic surgery gone too far??
No, but seriously, microplastics are horrifying.
It’s so odd to me that anybody is putting much thought into this without knowing what the narrative purpose of the choice is. Take shogun, for example - this has a British protagonist (although arguably Mariko is the protagonist). But this serves a strong narrative purpose - at the very least, it is a convenient (albeit common) device which allows you to spell out the culture, background, etc. for the audience under the auspices of that stuff being told to the character who is also unfamiliar with it. And from a plot perspective, that white character also helps fill out the christianization of Japan subplot.
It could very well be the same with AC. That they picked a black samurai outsider could be a relevant plot point. That it is this one in particular - who had close contact with Nobunaga - may also be central to the plot and story they want to tell.
It’s over for us. One of the images has a hand that doesn’t look fucked up. Oh fuck
God the insanity of that wealth is hard to fathom.
Nobody needs $100m, which is itself a totally insignificant amount compared to $1b… and we’re talking people with hundreds of billions :/
I’ve been seeing this sort of thing in a few threads now since the federation and im a bit confused by it. Showing that China is doing similar things to the US doesn’t seem like a strong argument if the thing the US is doing (in this case indefinite detention without trial in a horrible prison) is bad. Is the idea that post-federation there’s users who don’t view the US as doing bad things?
Not on judges to care - but ye, would need cops to actually look into this and then a prosecutor to actually go after it. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
