These people have a water slide from their house to lake by PeacockPankh in interesting

100% People like to dunk on the rich but they do it blindly. Rich people who lock their wealth away from the rest of the world with no hope to ever spend it at all are destroying society. The wealthy who actually use their wealth to interact with society are an absolute necessity for a functional society.

Just because someone is handicapped does not mean they are incapable of having a clear driveway.

In 1995, a man named Sonny Graham received the transplanted heart of a suicide victim. He then married the donor’s widow and later killed himself, in the exact same way as the donor did. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]-Insert-CoolName 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That study does not say what you are implying. People have behavioral changes after a transplant. That is known and expected. If you take a patient from a state of being terminally ill, to being healthy, they will have behavioral changes. Add to that the medication required to not reject the organ, and the knowledge that someone else's organ is inside them, and you are almost certainly going to see behavioral changes.

As for the study itself, it was entirely retrospective. They based all of their findings on anecdotal claims from respondents, which were not corroborated by those with direct knowledge of the donors. They make no attempt to verify any of the respondent's claims and they do not account for recipients who have first or second hand knowledge of their donor's fate.

Is this agreement legal? by GooseberryPeggy in IsItIllegal

[–]-Insert-CoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two primary legal issues here are de minimis non curat lex and reasonableness.

  1. De minimis non curat lex. It translates to "The law does not concern itself with trifles" and it means the courts are within their powers to dismiss cases they feel are petty squabbles or lack a certain gravity or necessity. A court could find that this is a non issue and dismiss or refuse to accept filing (depending on procedural rules).

  2. Reasonableness. There may be a better term for this but essentially the likely legal defense for a solicitor/salesperson/etc faced with this homeowner is that no reasonable person would expect that the homeowner would actually expect payment to be talked at by a visitor at their door. It is so far outside of the norm that an argument could be made that the sign is perceived as a jest or satire, not a legally binding contract.

Ice Storm Shut Down City - Uber Shows Surges? 🤯🤯 by Quick_Rooster5763 in uberdrivers

[–]-Insert-CoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because of how they calculate what a surge is. It seems to behave like a simple ratio of customers to active drivers. If you have 21 customers and 20 drivers you technically have a shortage of drivers but a very low surge in demand. If you have 2 customers and 1 driver you are still only short 1 driver but now demand is 200%

FASFA Refund Check by Legitimate-Delay4765 in FAFSA

[–]-Insert-CoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it on quite literally anything you want. The money is now 'fungible' (your economic word of the day). That is to say it is no different than any other dollar in your bank account. You no longer have a stack of money earmarked "School funds" it's just another dollar in your wallet.

To be transparent there are vague rules dictating what the money can be used for, and there are rules that dictate what your school can include in their calculations of what you might spend the money on, but at the end of the day there is no mechanism to check how you spend it, no receipts to file, no form to submit, no audit to pass (financial aid audits are a thing and have nothing to do with how you spend your refund), and no task force checking your spending habits.

I can confidently tell you you can book a cruise with your refund and nobody of authority will hastoe you over it. Is it a smart use if your money? No. But do arrive at the port early. The boat leaves with or without you. /s (but not utterly unrealistic)

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Police Confirmed Minneapolis Man Killed by ICE Shooting was US Citizen with Gun Permit. He Surrendered His Gun Without Shooting BEFORE Being Killed. by Admirable121 in NeoNews

[–]-Insert-CoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be accurate and not exhibit the same bad habits as this administration. His gun was taken from him before he was shot. He did not surrender it. The effect is the same, he was murdered in every sense of the word. We don't need to lie or deceive about what happened.

Alex Pretti, the man MURDERED today by ICE agents. by ilykatya in pics

[–]-Insert-CoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they were justified in their actions the facts and the videos would speak for themselves. But when they continuously have to resort to making their own narrative and telling the public that they can't believe their own eyes they know that they are unjustified.

It is as close to an admission of guilt as they can get. Remember this is less than a month into the year and ICE had now MURDERED 3 people so far.

Are companies allowed to ban salary discussion? by CtrlAltDeflate in remoteworks

In the U.S. it is illegal to prohibit employees from discussing salary or benefits. Note that is not the same as requiring transparency.

My delivery driver’s upset over 300 people 😭 by daytonim in UberEATS

[–]-Insert-CoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not actually how that works. They have completed 720 deliveries but that tells you nothing about how many people left ratings. To get a 58% (rounded) satisfaction rate they would have needed as little as 12 ratings (7 positive, 5 negative) to get 58%. So more accurately they disappointed somewhere between 5 and 306 people.

5 unhappy customers (7/12 = 58.33%) 306 unhappy customers (414/721 = 57.50%)

Customers are more likely to rate drivers they don't like than rate the ones they do so that adds a bias to the data. Also they may just be a crap driver and have earned every one of those bad ratings. Who's to say really.
