I just don’t understand why people keep believing this man is going to pay his debts. This is the same guy that declares bankruptcy like it’s a sign of honor.
Voting is not something we do everyday or for most people even every year. Sometimes Democrat and Republican primaries are held in different rooms or at different locations, So if this is your first time or that’s all you know, it’s a real question.
The polling places in some rural municipalities are literally Masonic lodges where they make you announce out loud to all in attendance which primary you want to vote in.
Wait. There are places where your primary party is not public knowledge when you vote? Fuuuck. (it’s usually a fire hall, not a lodge in my experience.)
I’ll fully admit to being completely ignorant about voting the first time I did it. I was politically disengaged for moody teenager reasons, but my parents forced me to go to the polling station anyway. I didn’t care to vote for any of the candidates, but was also worried that I would get in trouble if I spoiled my ballot because I hadn’t paid attention in civics (again, for moody teenager reasons).
Many marriages are still fundamentally financial arrangements. Living together is cheaper, especially with kids. And when you own half of each other’s stuff (particularly when that stuff is real estate or retirement or cars) decoupling isn’t simple.
Getting a divorce is really cheap if you just do it yourself. If they’re capable of living together for 35 years, they should be able to manage signing a few documents together.
Adjusting living arrangements and insurance and other assets isn’t as easy or straight forward though. And if everything has to be intermingled why go to the time of doing the paper work.
I did estate planning with my GF because I want to make sure she’s okay if something happens to me. It cost $1000. We could have gotten the same legal protections by getting married for $150. And we’re both still paying single person tax rates.
It’s not ideal. Alas, people change, and sometimes you realize you’re stuck in situations where bailing would cause undue hardship to your kids, so you try to make it work.
I’ve said it a couple times now, conservative women are some of the most brainwashed on the planet. They’re literally voting their rights away. It’s sad cause I wish they had all the resources they need and want but they vote against themselves constantly.
Older women in my family—with the best of intentions, have pleaded with me to overlook abusive, violent men at home because men just can’t help the way they are and it’s a woman’s job to forget and make peace.
These are people that fundamentally don’t think they have a right to baseline respect in their own homes by the people who supposedly loved them most. They’d need a decade’s worth of therapy just to find their best interests, and then another to act on them.
Emotional/psychological/sometimes physical abuse can do that to someone. Especially after the slow, deliberate dismantling of your social circle that sociopaths like to do. Add to that the stigma of being a single mom…
The lettuce image and joke arose from the final days of Truss’s premiership, when the Daily Star launched a live stream of a lettuce to see whether Truss’s battle to survive in No 10 could last longer than a 60p iceberg lettuce from Tesco.
Nobody can know who you voted for in the booth unless you tell them. Just that you voted. Ballots are unsigned and you place it in the box (supervised, but folded and unexamined) yourself.
I salute the women, minorities, and all folks who have decency and do the right thing during this and all other elections. Let’s all please be sure to vote.

Good luck with that. On an unrelated note, how’s that arrest of a certain Israli war-criminal going? Or a certain Orange Asshole former, and maybe future POTUS?
I’m not saying that one should be confined to home eating only what they personally curate. I am saying that this broad made it through medical school, did a residency, dealt with a healthy cross section of society at is dumbest. Who literally puts their life in the hands of a waiter, who has to them communicate to a cook, if there was one. Some doctors graduate with D’s.
I’m not saying that one should be confined to home eating only what they personally curate, but I’m saying that one should be confined to home eating only what they personally curate. Also I’m sexist af.
My grandmother is currently dealing with this. She’s living off a pension from her late husband, and the cost of repairs to her complex is mucking everything up. Every contractor in the state seems to consider this a boon, and have been jacking up their prices considerably for even minor work. So far she’s been somewhat lucky with weather related damage, but for how long her luck holds, we can only guess.
Goddamn that’s fucking cold. Regardless of the merits of the lawsuit, lawyers having the balls and lack of humanity to use a video streaming service terms of service to try dismissing an in-person accident at a restaurant is just wild.
Corporate defense attorneys are the worst people imaginable. If their CEO raped a 9 year old they’d be saying she asked for it. That is how despicable they are.
It’s Florida so it wouldn’t surprise me. However there are multiple ways it which it shouldn’t. Did Disney have unequal bargaining, was there consideration and acceptance, is it against the public interest and public policy, does the arbitration clause create undue burden… All these things should be against Disney. But… The Supreme Court even when it didn’t lean Republicunt has been pro-arbitration and anti consumer.
Disney is claiming the one line in the terms and conditions of a free trial of Disney+ years ago means the consumer must abide by those terms in perpetuity for anything Disney related. Even things completely unrelated to Disney+.
Yes a lot of conservative higher courts and Supreme Court have determined that arbitration agreements don’t expire and last for eternity. Read various court cases on them. It is truly sick that the higher courts have ruled this way. It shouldn’t matter but in many cases it does matter.
My point is the agreement was for an entirely unrelated product. A restaurant is in no way associated with the Disney+ streaming service. No one would expect the terms and conditions from a streaming service to apply to a sit down restaurant.
I’d even say that while they’re both under the Disney brand, they almost certainly are separate companies, further differentiating their products.
I know and agree. What I’m saying is that the courts and especially conservative justices don’t care. Should Disney be sanctioned for this bad faith attempt? Absolutely! But will Disney be? Probably not. Is it possible Disney’s motion to compel or dismiss will be granted. It is definitely possible.
