It’s cardboard, not depleted uranium. How the fuck is it so dangerous I must dispose of it if damaged? The entire point of the product is for the furry psychopath that lives with me to damage it. It literally has no other reason to exist.

        You only hear about the ridiculous lawsuits. Local lawyer used to explain it on the radio all the time.

        • Media doesn’t report on the 99.98% of boring, and meritorious, lawsuits
        • Judges toss frivolous cases
        • Lawyers are loath to bring frivolous cases due to reputational harm, even disbarment

        Our sense of risk is absurdly out of whack with reality.

          companies also love to make it look like lawsuits are frivolous, when in reality the lawsuit was just “they gave me literally boiling hot coffee, not 40°C, not 50°C, literally 95°C coffee that melted my skin when i spilled it”

          According to a friend who’s a lawyer she once had to explain to someone that she can’t sue her landlord because she slipped on a wet floor, since it was her house and therefore her wet floor. The landlord merely owns the house, but didn’t make the floor wet.
