This is why the entire legal system needs to be dismantled and (((lawyers))) need to be summarily executed by guillotine.
Any society that has a system of law so arcane it needs an entire profession to interpret them is not a functioning society. If the average peasant cannot understand your legal code, your legal code is too complicated.

can't believe this thought doesn't get more attention. harder to believe still is the respect lawyers get whenever you utter the word. our cultures worship people whose job it is to do word tricks and sophistry.
Ancient Greece had it right with banning court speechwriters, shame it didn't last.
Agreed; the legal profession is a racket. Allegedly the courts exist to enforce laws and arbitrate disputes, which they ought to do for their salaries -- but they won't, they overwhelmingly require the exceedingly expensive hire of a third party lawyer if a plaintiff or defendant wants a good result. They have shit up the system with pageantry and minutae to the point where it is borderline impossible for a man to represent himself.
Ban lawyers. Ban barristers. Erase British commonlaw and establish a proper Inquisitorial system.
Even worse, our laws are so convoluted and numerous that even the professionals are just as ignorant as you or I outside of the narrow branch they specialize in. And even in their own specialized field, they often have to do a lot of research into the law as part of their job.
Just like Tacitus said, "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

> Online T&Cs are a bluff. Pretty much anything is without legal counsel present during signing, and no notarization.
WRONG, u/fellowwhites.

Same trick worked for a wife KILLED PROVABLY by Disney negligence in 2024, due to updated terms and conditions of STREAMING DISNEY+ FREE TRIAL TV, a ploy that worked. No trial attempt for killed wife on Disney property, only (((private arbitration)))!!!!

Yea Terms and Conditions, while legal, become unusable and thrown out when it's not clear, its illegal or too broad. That's why terms that go "you can't sue" aren't legally binding. The Disney case is more of an issue of having to fight a company with the ability to field almost an army's amount of legal agents. Disney would and is pushing the terms narrative but if this went to trial it would most likely not stick but it wouldn't stop Disney from dragging the man and the courts the whole way till the other side runs out of cash or scares them to just give up.

I've heard so many horror stories about these fries recently...
*They are made from special potatoes that require special pesticide that cause super cancer!*
*The salt blend is a concoction of mega sodium that causes cancer!*
*The oil they use to fry the fries in is a soup of hydrogenated cancer!*
No clue about any of it. I've eaten PLENTY of these things in my youth, and they still taste good, to me anyway.
Fast food is the one vice I can't really shake, no matter how hard I try. My consooom is down to manageable levels, but it's still a guilty pleasure every so often.
Depending on how old you are, the fries you ate in your youth might have been very different. They were still frying them in beef tallow until the 90s.
The convenience of them was being cheap and fast. Now they are neither. For almost the same price and wait time, you can sit down at a restaurant and eat much better food.
But I stopped long ago for health reasons, and I suggest you do the same. Bc in reality this food, especially fried shit, is not satiating, its addicting. When I eat junk food now, I find myself craving it for a few days. But then it goes away. Its crazy how one goyslop meal can make me a crackhead for more sometimes lasting a week: thats what happens when you kick the habit and fall back on it, just like any drug.
If you abstain for about 3 months, you'll no longer want it. If you abstain for 3 months and then eat some goyslop, itll taste very salty and youll feel like garbage afterwards. Then you'll realize you that used to always feel like that.
Trust me, just prep meals for your home freezer to always eat healthy, cheap, and whatever you want.
If you find a well managed fast food joint it can be pretty good for that. I had a Jack in the box in my old neighborhood that was fucking delicious. McDonalds pretty much sucks everywhere though. The fries are hit and miss. Sometimes they're good, when they're hot and fresh, and you feel jewed when they're stale and lukewarm. That's why I just go to In n' Out. It's fresh food and it's always delicious, no matter the store.
And Chick fil' a is fucking nasty. It was good the one time I tried it when it was a craze, then it just fell off hard. They're all franchised so you might have a good one. But franchise operations can't control quality.
The quality of most fast food joints is directly related to the Human Resources available in that area. Go to good neighborhoods and the food and quality will be much better. Don't ever go to a McDonalds or Churchs in the hood hood!

WRONG, PraiseBeToScience.

The piggers who enforce the will of the legal-judicial prison complex are powerful.
