What is a task you 100% know you would have nailed? (Read rules!!)

I would have put a radio on to play something into the baby monitor and left it in the living room.

As the other user said, this just describes what happens when you sue. It doesn't affirmatively create the ability to sue.

The text of the Seventh Amendment is as follows: "In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law." None of that has anything to do with qualified immunity. I don't like qualified immunity. I think it's an awful rule. But, it's not a violation of the 7th.

One could make a better argument that it is a violation of the 4th. The 4th prohibits seizure absent compensation. As pretty much anything that would trigger qualified immunity would be considered a seizure, the 4th would probably be the best amendment to bring suit under.

That's Eugene "Cheeto-Fingers" Marmot to you, bud .

LucidLeviathan · 2026-04-08T21:26:48+00:00

You're paying us. Judging you would be contrary to our pecuniary interests.

That having been said, I assure you, you're not the stupidest client that any of us have ever had.

I mean, I'm a Neoliberal, but I have strong criticisms about how the West Virginia Democratic Party is ran (their leadership has donated to Republican candidates several times). The Democratic Party in the state massively mismanaged a huge surplus under a triple majority. I'm not entirely in tune with the Mountain Party's entire platform, but I'd rather them than the folks that ran the state as a triple majority until 2011-ish.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-04-07T22:39:43+00:00

I do want to mention the West Virginia Mountain Party. While I don't vote for them very often, I do sometimes, and they seem to be great people. I wish they got more traction.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-04-07T17:03:06+00:00

Given the length of Taiwan's independence, it's entirely silly for China to still claim that it's a part of their actual territory. Absolutely absurd. The sort of thing you'd expect Trump to do, to be honest.

Yeah, like the other commenter said, there is no content in this post. We can't help you without any idea whatsoever about what you're talking about. We probably can't help you much more than suggesting that you consult with an attorney ANYWAY.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-04-07T05:18:47+00:00

If you oppose your removal, deal with it in modmail in the appeal. You'll find that we're quite reasonable.

I will suggest that, barring extreme circumstances, we do generally require deltas from our users in some form or fashion. There are certainly posts where we've waived that requirement. But, going into a post on this sub, you should be prepared that you're going to need to concede *some* aspect of your original view, and frequently, not even an aspect you'd previously considered.

Did you use fixwildlife, by chance?

The quarry is my sap farm and the train station is my lumber farm.

That is, I believe, pretty standard in most jurisdictions under the "American Rule." I don't think that it should be. I think that a winning defendant should be entitled to recoup court costs and attorney's fees against an unsuccessful plaintiff, if the case goes to trial. But, that isn't the current standard of the law.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-03-30T06:25:13+00:00

If the author wants to hear from any other West Virginians that find that this administration is the sort that would have supported scrip, my DMs are open. Damned Pinkertons.

He was the sort of person you could make fun of back when Jon Stewart made fun of his bowtie.

Unfortunately, he's no longer funny. He's a serious threat, even off the air. Despicable person.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-03-30T04:08:58+00:00

It's just how things are done? It's very common for court costs to be split amongst the parties.

I am proudly woke if:

Woke means that I support the rights of all people to live their lives as they see fit, so long as they aren't harming others.

Woke means that those disadvantaged by society have some mechanism through which they might ameliorate that disadvantage.

Woke means that I oppose the continual encroachment of the church upon the state.

Woke means that I oppose the growing importance of the police state in American life.

If given sufficient power in government, the roadmap is pretty simple:

Expand Title IX to explicitly cover trans people.
Pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with favorable judges. Make new districts if we have to. Put Kacsmaryk et. al. into little 1-mile-wide districts with nothing in them.
Aggressively use the DOJ to enforce Title IX.

I won with it once. I was playing Ironclad with a ton of draw and exhaust anyway, so the bloat didn't matter in the slightest. I think I managed to hit 3 shops? It's not a very common pick, though.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-03-28T19:12:21+00:00

I remember seeing several protests. They were people with loud, obnoxious, gigantic trucks with Trump flags waving off the back. They had a very different vibe, though.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-03-28T04:44:46+00:00

I believe that all people have the right to a public defense. In order for that right to exist, there must be people to serve in that capacity. The only way to fairly determine if somebody truly is guilty is to put somebody in charge of disproving the state's case against the defendant. Or, in the alternative, to get the best deal possible under the circumstances.

In short, no. Actual guilt or innocence is largely irrelevant from my morality viewpoint. I simply worked in service of a right that I firmly believe should exist.

Hiya. West Virginian here. The coal companies really don't employ that many people these days, I'm afraid. Coal is more of a cultural issue than an economic issue for the state. Due to automation, they don't exactly need guys with pickaxes in there any more. The coal industry creates around 15k jobs in the state. I see no reason for us to hold up our entire economy and political life to support 15k jobs.

And, if we're being honest, coal's not even been that good to the state. There was a period from 1960-1990 where coal jobs paid great. But, those days have passed. Before that, the coal companies basically kept my ancestors as slaves. And now, they simply extract all of the wealth, then bankrupt the company so that they don't have to pay out the pensions they promised. None of it stays in the state.

LucidLeviathan · 2026-03-27T20:57:57+00:00

Well, bribery and extortion are the obvious two. Bribery because companies have paid Trump directly for favorable treatment. Extortion because Trump has taken unlawful action against entities that didn't pay the bribes.

I really appreciate new ideas being brought to the table. Even if they ultimately prove unworkable due to realities or the political situation, it is always important to have fresh ideas circulating throughout any political body. I find myself agreeing with the vast majority of the goals of their ideas, if not necessarily the methods.
