The classic move where I grew up when someone’s kid gets beaten up on the playground. Wow I haven’t thought about this in years an am sure it’s far worse now.

tortitude This is entirely semi/unrelated I was at a bar this Sunday and a guy was talking about how he hates guns and shootings being more common in our culture today because people don't fight like they used to and he was kind of right - sad that playground fisticuffs ends in a lawsuit but things definitely have gotten far worse if you take his words into account

aidanaguirre oh wow that escalated far beyond the bounds of my 90s Jersey childhood (for clarity I was not one of these families).

filing a lawsuit

In this country, all men are made equal before The Court. The Court. What a beautiful idea. Where a nobility gathers. Where a competition is formalized, sanctified, & made into sport. To Serve someone, to Summon someone before The Court. Where man is Judged, and blinded goddess Justice reveals herself. If you look at me wrong, I will be pursuing legal action. You’ll be speaking with my lawyer. You’ll be speaking with my lawyer’s lawyer. I’m badly injured & and I’m wearing a neck brace right now as I type this. This is your fault. How are you going to make me whole again? I seek restitution. I seek retribution. BANG BANG BANG. The Judge has come to a decision. You’re going to Gaol for 5 MILLION YEARS. And I will be collecting a dollar a year in perpetuity, per annum, ad infinitum.
