  • Personal injury lawyers might not be as big as they are, but lawsuits in the US are kind of important for more than just monetary compensation, it’s to have case law and in essence introduce new regulations. McDonalds didn’t just have to pay medical bills for the Hot Coffee lawsuit, but McDonalds also had to change how they serve their coffee. Its part compensation and part making sure it doesn’t happen again or if it does, there is a clear path for what needs to happen. As awful as it is to have something bad happen, it’s worse if we don’t learn and change from it and our system of incorporating case law is pretty decent at that, if imperfect. No legal system can cover every scenario, but if it can adapt as new scenarios arise then it is all the more resilient (although that does kinda assume our Judiciary is truly impartial and there are no cronies trained by think tanks to give the illusion of impartiality)






  • While fermented garlic and honey are actually pretty good for you, (probiotics from fermentation, certain anti-microbial properties of both garlic and honey, etc), it’s not actual medicine.

    Home remedies are great at making you feel a bit better while your body fights something off but they’re no substitute for medicine to actually help your body fight off your infection.

    I’ll swear by hot tea, honey, lemon with a splash of some kind of liquor and some chicken noodle soup when dealing with a sore throat but I’m also taking cough medicine to actually manage the symptoms in addition to those home remedies.

    Jesus fucking… WEVE HAD SO MANY MOVIES, BOOKS, TV SHOWA AND GAMES EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!!

    Edit (more stuff): but yeah the thing i immediately thought of was the Peacewalker Incident from Metal Gear Solid, but this time the AI isn’t based on the mind of the greatest soldier of all time who laid her gun down for the future of mankind, instead it’s the entire collective stupidity of humanity…
