This is like one of those origin stories from a superhero movie.
In a 14-page court petition, the former NFL star alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, instead tricking him into signing a document that gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.
Michael Oher is a great guy with great talent. It is sad to see a rich family pretended to care about him to make money off of his talent. The entire family is making money of his story while he gets nothing because all he wanted was a family.
Imagine being the lone evangelical preacher who saw Donald Trump for what he was: the complete betrayal of everything the church had taught. A moral reprobate who didn’t even pretend to go to ...
Great story about how the christo-facists can abandon the teachings of Jesus will still calling themselves "followers of Jesus".
Two Los Angeles police officers sued the city, alleging they were discriminated against because of their gender when investigators accused them of shaving a man's mustache and eyebrows off.
It appears that even the LAPD believe the LAPD cannot conduct an investigation without discrimination.
Dua has some great stuff.
If 2 people were having sex on a table in a restaurant, that would be unacceptable. If a parent kissed their child goodbye while dropping them of at daycare, that would be acceptable. Everything else is somewhere in between. The challenge is where to draw the line and is it applied evenly.
If a parent and child can hold hands, can a hetero couple? If so, can a gay couple? Where do you draw the line, and who draws the line for all of society?
I think this has to do with intent. If I read a book to use it for the basis of a play, that would be illegal. If I read for enjoyment, that is legal. Since AI does not read for enjoyment, but only to use it for the basis of creating something else, that would be illegal.
Is my logic flawed?
Didn't they recently blow up a launch pad because they cut a corner? And then they had a couple of rockets blow up?
I shared the article this morning and we have all been discussing this. One option is to request they immediately switch to Whatsapp and delete the FB message. The good part, is that our state coalition is already looking into this.
I work for an agency that works with victims of crime. State and federal laws allow for privileged, confidential communication. We have had people ask for help via social media. This is very concerning.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday revived a lawsuit alleging San Jose-based Cisco Systems Inc. aided Chinese torture of Falun Gong adherents.
This could have make ramifications across the tech world.
Dr. Yolanda Cassidy says Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials fabricated and backdated a memo to cover up the 2020 death of a bomb-sniffing black Labrador named Spike who overheated in an unattended patrol car.
They killed a dog, forged a vet report, and then forged an investigation. It is almost like the police cannot be trusted.
I thought this was a federal law for years. Have poor people been trying to defend themselves all these years?
When I was little I thought girls had penises (I am male). In High School, I was very confused about reproduction and how it could work. The great part of living in a red state that does not believe in sex education. I was in college before I learned that women do not have a penis.
I hate I phones and most things Apple. Maybe I am being stubborn? Is it worth looking into, even on an android?
I really liked Spotify, but when they started subsidizing hate speech I left. For the last year, I keep trying different platforms and cannot find anything that works well. I am ok with spending money for no ads. I have very diverse music tastes so want to have different "stations" based on my mood. Any suggestions?
Now California needs to make a law that any books that have a sexual content rating cannot be sold to public schools. Vendors can then choose between which state they want to sell.
He looks very happy, but not that buff. Not sure why you think he is cut.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is on a campaign tour, stumping for President Biden in red states. And he's building his own voter base along the way.
Newsom has made it clear that he wants to be President. The rumor is that he spends the next 4 years planning his run in 2028. Does a Democrat from California have a chance to receive the nomination?
Two weeks after a bus carrying 42 migrants pulled into Union Station, Texas has sent another bus to L.A.
It is nice to see someone being welcoming to asylum seekers.
Each state does it differently, but in California alimony is generally 50% of the months of the marriage until 20 years and then it becomes permanent. The concept is that the spouses pooled their resources to generate the best outcome for the family and therefor the family should benefit from that outcome.
If one partner raised the children and took care of the home while the other partner acquired an education and developed a career, both partners benefit from successful children and a home so both partners should benefit from the income that was generated.
If government is going to change the rules, then they need to consider changing all of the related rules. When dividing assets, the courts will now need to consider the future value of an education, employment history, and business contacts. I could see a divorce where 80% of the current financial assets go to one spouse to offset these other assets. What is the present value of future income that is derived from the benefit of not having to stay home and take care of children?
