Mate, a good third of the countries on that list are currently suffering such brutal ethnic violence that it might be considered genocide. Close to half are riddled by islamic terrorism, usually directed towards ethnic minorites. At least two of them are in the middle of civil wars.

There’s a not insignificant chance that it’ll be the secured creditors’ company soon 😂

To be fair, this is how people tend to react to change, generally. I remember every time Facebook or YouTube did a site redesign in the early 2010s people were always up in arms.

Jake and Amir parodied this well in their “Facebook Redesign” episode.

Man, Lemmy is savage with its downvotes.

And also stop goes for hikes in the middle of a heat wave.

I just don’t get it. While it’s eased up a bit, we’re still in one of the hottest labour markets of all time. If your job sucks that much, just quit.

Mate, in basically all common law jurisdictions an agreement can be a legally binding contract regardless of its form. While there are some narrow exceptions (largely dealing with specific instruments or real property), by and large that rule holds. Even an oral contract is legally enforceable.

Pay what a fair wage, the GPU farm? 😂

As a counterpoint, it would be quite unfair for the law to allow people to breach their agreements purely based on the medium used to enter into an otherwise valid contract.

E.g., what if the non-breaching person had invested considerable time or money complying with their end of the bargain in reliance on the promise? What if, as I understand the case was here, the parties completed multiple agreements over text and came to rely on that medium as the convention?

In any event, the analysis leaves a lot of room for a judge to consider the factual background and reach a fair outcome.

While the novelty of accepting a contract through emojis is pretty goofy, judges applying contract law to hold people to commercial promises like this is otherwise a pretty run-of-the-mill thing, even when the promise was over text.

I’m inherently skeptical that any kind of projector can match a modern OLED. What are your thoughts?

My dick is only out for one beautiful soul. RIP Harambe.

Fucked Up the Distro?
