It must be confusing going 77 years of screwing over people with false promises, using the legal system to screw over people, and then all of a sudden those tactics don't work anymore.

Just once I want one of these guys to argue mens rea because they were brainwashed by Fox News.

I knew it. There was no way a sober person would die from a mistake like that.

Could you imagine if Larian got to do their own spin on the Cyberpunk tabletop game?

If they were gonna do another licensed property I'd rather they base it on the Android board game from FFG.

At least trimming the herbs is short.

How are they alleging a monopoly? Did Android just cease to exist or something?

There's two different kinds of monopolies. Most people are familiar with the Horizontal monopoly which is what you're describing. Monopolies can also be vertical. Sometimes called vertical integration.

Think of a product. In order for you get get this product, you have to go up a flight of stairs, and you can't skip any steps. Now every time you step on a stair, you have to pay the guy who owns the part you stepped on. In a competitive market, multiple people all own different chunks of the step and you have a lot of options on where to step. They'll compete for your foot by offering the lowest price or least nails jutting out or something. A horizontal monopoly is when one dude owns an entire step. You can't avoid paying that guy.

A vertical integration is when one dude owns a chunk of every single step, and you get incentives for stepping on all of them. A real world example of this is Andrew Carnegie. He made steel, so how do you get steel?

So first you need some iron. But to get iron you need to mine it, and then transport it. That could be 3 different companies, one to own the land, one to do the mining, and one to do the transport, but Carnegie owned all three of those himself.

Then you need to repeat that process with coal, once again Carnegie owned it all.

Then you need to process both of them in a foundry which he also owned to actually make the steel, and then you need to distribute it, which, surprise surprise he also did. With each of those steps along the way representing a chunk of staircase.

Thus even though he was not the sole provider of steel, he was in a position to sell steel at a low price and still have high margins, where a guy who only owned the steel foundries couldn't because he had to spend a ton of money contracting miners and shipping and such.

When it comes to apple it's the same way and their vertical integration has expanded ever since they opened up their own chip factories. They make the chips which go into the phones they make which get the software they wrote which can only make purchases through the store they have where they get a cut from everything.

How does the human body not reject something as foreign as that?

Or does he have to take a cocktail of immune suppressants daily for the rest of his life?

You have to do that second part anyway. And I there's some kind of gene therapy they do to the pig that gives it a larger / more human like kidney. I think the pig basically suffers its whole life until it can be slaughtered for the kidney as a result.

Start renaming all his shit after Obama and John McCain.

That's a shame, I'd have loved an expansion.

If they're moving onto something else, I'd prefer it be something wholly new. I liked Divinity, but I'd like something brand new from Larian more.

Dragon Commander 2

Only from coworkers. My family doesn't bother asking me.

I've got a bomb in my head.

Then Bill & Ted

Something wotc Said recently made me think Larian is gonna work on an original D&D franchise game.

Sad thing? That rate of donations could lift someone out of poverty.

If any given person could receive even $1 from every single person in their town or city it could make a huge difference to their lives at the (practical) expense of no one. It's crazy.

We should do automatic lotteries tbh.

Every month, every one pays one dollar lottery tax. That money gets deposited to a completely random person that has not won the lottery before.

Maybe if a city is particularly large, you break it up into multiple lotteries.

Ever since my family found out I was starting law school in 2017, it's been a neverending barrage of legal questions, also mostly Trump related. Shame I can't monetize any of that. >_>

You can definitely try. You're not going to be as successful as Devin but other lawyers have been chiming in on the issues and presumably making some cash on the side for it. Your biggest challenge is going to be finding the time to do it along side your normal work.

I think there'd be a market for just filming your family asking you questions & you answering them. You'll need some professional editing though.

Apparently the title of thread is outdated. Ohtani paid the friend debt on his own.

I wonder why they changed the story. They had to have a lot of time to come up with a story for the media.

The story didn't change that much. I guess they were trying to not contradict Mizuhara at first but then the investigation turned up evidence that what they originally said wasn't true.

Assuming the wire transfer story doesn't get proven wrong I think this sounds kind of believable. Unless Ohtani has a history of gambling before I think it's unlikely that he'd suddenly start dropping that level of money right off the bat.

Someday, I hope we can say that you used to have a gamefaqs account.

I'm curious to know if Legal Eagle makes more money from his lawyer salary or from his Youtube channel.

And if it's his Youtube channel, I'd be curious to know if the revenue from his Trump specific videos outpace his lawyer salary

His trump videos have got approximately double the views of his non Trump videos on a per video basis and despite going way out of his way to cover non Trump shit he somehow still manages to upload mostly Trump videos these days.

TBH he struck a gold mine here. There hasn't been another point in history where there's been so many legal questions being asked by the average person.

The Big Bang was a single point.

This is impossible conceptually. A point has no dimensions. Whatever caused the big bang must be measurable, however small, even if it's smaller than Planck length. In the event that the big bang happened from absolutely nothing at all, then there is no point of origin either. In either case, the big bang would not have exploded in a perfect sphere, meaning any center is an approximation at best, Even if you could capture the moment of explosion.

Relatively speaking from your POV you are the center of the universe.

I dunno how the math works out but basically everything is moving away from you on a cosmic scale. If you recenter the POV somewhere else, that POV sees the exact same thing.

Religion is dumb. If its supposed to be a commandment from god then why does it refer to a human legal concept like murder
how does anyone fall for this in modern years

Legal definitions can and often don't match colloquial definitions.

Thou Shalt not kill could be interpreted like a jainist where you literally cannot kill anything. Thou shalt not commit murder just means don't kill other humans.

They'll probably narrowly define duties within the scope of the office and extracurricular duties outside of the scope. Anything Bush Jr. and Clinton did were within the narrow confines of the presidential office. Everything Trump is being tried for is outside of that focus because trying to overthrow an election and running away with thousands of documents is outside of the scope of his presidential duties.

They can also just not interpret anything and say the president only has civil immunity and not criminal immunity.
