Henry Walker says he shattered his hip buying a watermelon at Walmart. An Alabama jury awarded him $7.5 million. - The Washington Post
The US legal system and this culture of suing is just so damn weird. Probably not even the strangest case this week, but this one made it onto the google news headlines at the right time for me to notice it ... I mean, from the title i at least expected him to grab a melon, 50 more being dislodged and him breaking his hip frantically dodging them and crashing into a concrete column or sth. (Also, dear Washington Post: He most certainly did not break his hip while buying the melon. He broke it while trying to grab it from the display. And i sincerely doubt he ended up buying it ;) I wonder if an Editor nowadays sees this and says to himself "ah fuck it, no one cares".) |
If he had ordered his watermelon from Amazon Prime, none of this ever would have happened. Two day wait for the watermelon, though.

'Smallville' Actress Allison Mack Arrested in Alleged Cult Sex Trafficking Case | Hollywood Reporter
Notable names that have been associated with this MLM / cult* include Richard Branson (unconfirmed), Linda Evans, BET co-founder Sheila Johnson, former surgeon general Antonia Novello, Seagram's Edward Bronfman Jr & his two daughters, the son of former Mexico president Salinas, the daughter of former Mexico president Fox, and several miscellaneous Hollywood actresses. *None of these have been associated specifically with the sex trafficking aspect, only with the "seminars" afaik |
Somewhere out there, there's a fanfiction.net author that has figured out that they have somehow acquired the power to rewrite reality.

I get wanting to set context to a question but definitely inappropriate. Hope they catch this person.

idk, that doesn't scream anything to me. Maybe a little convoluted, could have been worded slightly differently, but how is it not sexually explicit? Cause it has the word sex in it? |
Quote:
I don't think its sexually explicit and that is not my point. You don't think the context re: revenge sex is inappropriate context for a HS test question? |
To be fair it happens all the time in society. We see it in movies, television, social media. Like I said, it's not the best example for a test question, but the 'people' aren't in high school necessarily. My kids, FR/SO probably wouldn't bat an eyelash at such a thing. The question itself wouldn't be the focal point of the problem. The problem itself would be. I would hope the class would have gotten a good laugh out of it.

Ditto here. And I'm not sure anything past about middle school would bat an eye at the question. |

I didn't realize there was a difference in definition of polygamy re: marriage and civil unions.
I think in the US a person is not allowed to have multiple civil unions at the same time? So this must be a Brazilian thing? Or am I mistaken? Ronaldinho Reportedly Will Marry His 2 Fiancees in August Ceremony | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights Quote:

Wow! So... It appears this original story, which was widely publicized and joked about - even though each story contained slightly different facts - actually had some kernel of truth, and this is the end of that (not so funny anymore) weird story. There are enough similar facts that this has to be what the original story was based on. Whether the facts were wrong because of misinformation, not knowing what the heck actually happened, or willingly changing the story to get clicks, who knows. ‘Unbearable’ smelling passenger that caused plane’s emergency landing dies from tissue necrosis | Fox News |
