2024 LC Thread #1 - Elder Fraud Advice

Michael Lewis to the courtesy phone

lol what the hell is this?

How has someone not lost an eye?
And hilarious tradition, comes from rich people throwing scalding hot pennies at poor people in the middle ages, so fucked.
Also bringing an umbrella or a bucket is clearly against the spirit

What the actual fuck, and how had he not challenged this in court before???

Only skimming shit but I think he only found out this February?

Wow just seems hard to believe there could be a movie made about you and not realize you never got paid until a decade later

I posted about this in the other LC thread, it sounds like he didn’t know the extent to which others in his “family” were being paid:

Oher’s court petition says he never received any money from the movie, even though he long suspected that others were profiting, according to his attorney, J. Gerard Stranch IV. Whenever Oher asked questions, he did not get straight answers, his attorney said.

Oh lol yeah, that seems like quite the oversight.

:harold: for him

So the nice Christian white people may turn out to be neo-slavers

Time to abolish American football, pro and college both.

A friend of mine made a sort of half-joking complaint on facebook about people just assuming her dog is a boy because she has a blue harness and the first response is “Imposing gender bs on dogs is so boomer” and I honestly have no idea if this person is serious or just being funny

one of the best taco trucks I ever have had camped next to a liquor store near my house, parked on a curb across from some apartments. They weren’t breaking any rules but the neighbors made a big stink with the city, claiming he parked his vehicles too long there and it was making parking for them worse (they have an entire side of the street + a lot to themselves).

So in the most split-the-baby-in-half move ever, the city painted the ENTIRE stretch of road’s curb red, so now the taco truck can’t use it, nor can the residents. I just learned the taco truck went out of business. fucking lol. I can’t stand nimby/bougey fucks, probably more than any other demographic out there, they are the fucking worst. What the residents were actually mad about was a lot of hispanic type of people would all go there after work and hang out and get a ton of food. it was great.

Seriously, has this AI shit done literally anything positive for the world? It’s just 100% scamming people and putting people out of work and whatever the fuck is going on here.

Did you actually need a robot to tell you that there’s fucking in Handmaid’s Tale? You should not be working in education!

Early in COVID when we were feeling quite isolated at home, one of the happier moments was seeing a family of raccoons (presumably a mom and her 4 little babies) meandering through our backyard at night. Baby raccoons are one of the most absurdly cute things on the planet:

Then it was both happy and sad when they returned a few nights later, but with only 3 babies in tow :cry:

Any mates ITT who speak fluent Italian?

Making an indie no budget documentary about one of my favorite authors and am mining every podcast ever recorded about her.

Unfortunately this one is in Italia :grin:

I’m just trying to pick out a few good quotes from the brief section that mentions CS Friedman :pensive:

I just put way to much clothes in the washer, despite my wife telling me it probably wasn’t a good idea. Ask me anything before it goes wrong and I get murdered by “I told you so’s”

I’m largely banned from operating the washing machine.

I wish I was. Instead I’m just not allowed to do baby/wife laundry.
