  2. tell him to waste his birthday on the internet
  3. where u at @UncomfortableGoatee
  4. the tide pod thing is over already no need to jump on that bandwagon now
  5. Yeah, that's definitely not in doubt. All they need to do is sue every one of those parties, and the defendants between themselves will fight, probably bitterly, over who is liable. Plaintiff just has to sit back and wait.
  6. Yes, unless the state can pass a law that determines liability. But none of the parties you listed are going to say "yeah ok, pass a law that says I'm to blame if something happens" so without guidance from the courts, the legislative process would either get stuck or pass something based on the politics (like whoever doesn't lobby up gets stuck with the bill) rather than substantive policy repercussions. But like in my other example, sometimes it takes a while for courts to work out the best solution.
  7. The problem with the "waiting until it's ready" line is that liability must either be spelled out in statute or else it will only be determined through the courts. So assuming that state won't be able to come up with a framework for liability, the only way for us to figure it out is through a trial after someone gets hit and dies. When airplanes we're first introduced, courts originally imposed the liability on the victims in crashes, basically under the rationale of "airplanes are crazy and you knew what you were getting yourself into." It was only after years of society getting used to passenger airplanes that the case law began to flip to what it is today.
  8. No, but that doesn't mean you're not
  9. maybe there's something we can do to help everyone organize game time and stuff because adulthood makes scheduling video games a chore, but at the same time, we do have our own message board
  10. That thread was so bad that not even a sadist could enjoy it
  11. let's ask naraku4656, he made a thread about sport so he must know sprt
  12. @KaptKrunch is here
  13. Tell him I called him a smelly douche.
  14. I don't chase ambulances, though I do happen to live right down past where they dispatch them. Running takes too much effort. Message Board goals: no subpoenas
  15. That was like 10 years ago. Do you still talk to him? Make him come here.
  16. Yeah, sports people gotta tell me what's up and when, cuz I sure as hell don't know. We've got a couple of other ideas knocking around, and we'll do more writing competitions like @That_One_Guy did. Progress is slow right now because (a) it is a really busy time of year in addition to other life events, and (2) we're still trying to sort out what we'll do for donation incentives, because whatever that is (like for example custom rank for a set period of time) will probably be the prize.
  17. I think we have at least two? One of them might even be good at it to boot.
  18. I thought of doing a UEMB bracket, winner'd get a custom rank or something, but I am so disconnected from sport that by the time I had the thought it was because I saw other people talking about it so it was already too late
  19. happy birthday you old
  20. "Aaagh why did I intentionally click on DF while on the work WiFi"
  21. There's an old running joke here that the government is going to seize Packard's (and only Packard's) pension and use it to fund everything from wiping out student loan debts to universal healthcare.
  22. I think new account @Aarog might be hubbb
  23. I get it - Reddit is like a free board without the extra hassle or off-brand conversation. But at the same time, I can't figure out whether they didn't let anyone know out of guilt or deliberate indifference.
  24. Yeah, it was both unexpected when it happened yet entirely expected that it would happen. Welcome back though!
