Sooner or later they’d get me for one thing if not for another…

[But if] a fellow ain’t got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then…Then it don’t matter. I’ll be all around in the dark – I’ll be everywhere.

  • IANAL but i am wondering if Disney is somehow letting this case go as a backdoor way to legitimize arbitration agreements.

    Like, i just can’t see Disney not knowing this is the wrong case to push the legitimacy of an arbitration agreement. But if this case somehow legitimized through whachacallit… precedent… that an arbitration agreement, while binding in a primary sense, is not binding for every Disney product, wouldn’t Disney (and really every company that uses binding arbitration as part of using their product) consider that a win?

    Because as i understand it, arbitration agreements as a requirement to use a service is still an untested legal grey area. Anything legitimizing them at all would be a win… Right? Againn ianal










  • K this reminded me of a stupid story. I used to wait tables and i had this regular who would always get the same thing: 6 pickle spears and a bottle of mustard.

    Normally pickle spears and mustard’s free of course, but she’d use half a bottle every time so we worked out a cost to charge.

    Oh! And for dessert, a towering side plate of reddi-whip whipped cream.

    I always wanted to ask what was up with that but never did. I wonder how she’s doing?


  • Time doesn’t slow down when you approach the speed of light and the theory we’re using to describe much of the universe is based on a bad premise, that the speed of light is constant.

    I don’t care that I’m not as smart as einstein or that a lot of complex theories i also don’t fully understand are validated by special and general relativity. I, an everyman, know better.

    I’m right
