Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!

Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE

Excerpt from article:

Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users. 

The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.

Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023. 

Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .

Does anyone else think that eventually some of those commercials came out in-universe like “if you or a loved one were on the shows Total Drama Island, Total Drama World Tour, Total Drama Revenge of the Island or Total Drama Pahkitew Island and you suffered wrongful injury or death, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation”?

$787.5 MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT

Now I need every person/family that has been harmed/killed by “Alternative Facts” on that network to continue to file suit.  You didn’t want Dominion to air your business for the world to see FOX but you are still liable for your actions.  You caused deaths and harm to many.

A semi-brief rant about Chris Avellone and his legal settlement.  I am not a lawyer and nothing I say is legal advice, just personal observations based on the writing presented.

I read today that Chris Avellone got a settlement from his Illinois-filed lawsuit that forced the two women he was suing to officially retract their statements and allegedly “provides for a seven-figure payment that includes the return of the attorney fee award entered against Mr. Avellone.”

Not going to link any of the news articles, they’re all out there dated around March 25 or so.  What’s interesting is the chest-thumping of his supporters about how “he was acquitted” and “found innocent” and “his accusers should be jailed for their lies” and all that usual drivel.

For those not in the know: Chris Avellone is a video game developer and writer, who famously worked on games such as “Planescape Torment”, “Icewind Dale”, “Fallout New Vegas”, “Divinity Original Sin 2″ and other RPG gems.  He was accused of sexual misconduct back in 2020 and decided to sue his accusers in California court in 2021.  That lawsuit was appealed and defeated by California’s anti-SLAPP laws in 2022, so later in 2022 he filed a second lawsuit in Illinois Federal Court.  Before any serious progress was made on the case there was a settlement which seems to heavily favor him: his accusers have issued public retractions of their earlier statements, he may (or may not) be getting a seven-figure paycheck, and with this win he may (or may not) get back on the horse of writing up video games.

Just want to point a few things out about all of this:

The exact terms of the settlement are confidential.

“Provides for a seven-figure payment” does necessarily mean it was outright paid, it could be a conditional “if you do this then you pay” as part of the terms.  See “The exact terms” above.

“The accusers retracted their statements” does not necessarily mean they were lies.  Within the American legal system “the statements were retracted as part of a legal settlement” and “the statements originally made were true” are not mutually exclusive.

The refrain of “he was found innocent/acquitted” is not true, as this was a civil suit and there is no judgment of guilty or not guilty.

Directly related to the above, the settlement was reached before discovery phase, which means no final judgments of any kind could be rendered.

“This means he will work on <game name here> again” is also not necessarily true, as businesses may decide to not touch him.

So what happened?  I don’t know, and that’s kind of the point.  I could speculate until the cows came home and that wouldn’t mean any of what I said is true.  The ultimate truth is buried in the confidential terms of the settlement, which won’t be revealed unless one party breaks confidentiality...which would almost certainly cost that party dearly.

Is any of this going to stop Avellone’s fanboys from engaging in rampant misogyny and harassment campaigns?  Probably not, as they tend to believe whatever fits neatly into their own little world view.  But if anyone else was disappointed by this, including me, there is at least some wiggle room for comfort: just because this outcome happened doesn’t mean the original issue wasn’t real and it doesn’t make any guarantees for the future.

This is weird...

This morning, I had five emails from PayPal, each informing me of a partial refund from Lyft, all dating back to my Las Vegas trip in August. Don't get me wrong, happy for the money (and I checked my PayPal account, it's legit and not Phishing), but WTF?

You completely missed the point of that post. Ppl noticed a weird trend of the mean girls/bullies they knew in high school going in to nursing & were trying to figure out why they would go in to a field where they have to take care of others. I didn't notice this till it was pointed out to me by my Nurse friend + my friend who is a CNA in pre-med. Saying "there's a concerning trend of toxic women gravitating towards nursing" is not saying "nurses are toxic!" It's not about nurses. It IS a thing.

YESSSSS ive been waiting So Patiently for some brave anon to come properly Champion the We Hate Women cause directly, THANK YOU i appreciate your UNWAVERING bravery in properly schooling me about how Mean Girls are the exact equivalent of murderers and child rapists. i literally never would have seen it. the MEAN GIRLS FRM HS BECOME NURSES joke has always been a thing and i know this and see this but AS U HAVE PROPBABLY SEEN bc i admit it on a near constant basis i am Kind Of Stupid so like i never once made the connect btwn women who are just huge total cunts VS very specifically men who rape kids and murder ppl which honestly was PEAK DUMBASS OBLIVIOUS on my part bc absolutely i shouldve seen past the named issue of Male Power Exploitation used specifically to commit Heinous Crimes and seen that what really needed to be talked about was Toxic Women, which is always unquestionably the most pressing issue at ANY given moment and im soooo so So Sincerely Sorry that i missed that. it was probably my toxic dfab nature taking control of my rotten little estro brain and i cant BELIEVE i forgot to check myself

THANK U BABE my reading comprehension is TRASH GARBO and i appreciate being humbled. i also do rly appreciate not letting me slip for not explicitly disclaiming in detail what i was actually upset about (Unreasonably weve established) bc boiling it down to such a 1d take REALLY showed my dumb little ass!!! im So Bad at time management so i did make the dipstick idiot choice to attempt economizing words so i could eat in the 15min i had before going back to do my job+tech job for 6 heavy workload pts and it did us both SUCH a disservice bc u had to come all this way and give me those words so i could learn better when i Should Have Known. im sad you felt like you had to anon i tho wish youd embraced your bravery enough to show your face, more than anyone you Deserve the recognition

so my anxiety has been going insane because since biden ended the covid extension of medicaid, i got kicked off state insurance and had to buy marketplace insurance. at almost $300 per month. they called me friday to welcome me and it turns out they have to approve my medication again even though i'm with the same company, and even if it is approved it will be $100 per bottle. i am 100% disabled without this medication, i cannot reliably do basic functions like eat or get out of bed. additionally, my job requires medical certification that i my condition is managed, which it won't be if i'm off my medication, which means that i will lose my job if i go off it. having lost my job, i will then be eligible for medicaid again, getting me access to my medication. with access to my medication, i am able to work. if i am able to work, i can't apply for disability because it's for people who can't work. once i work again, i'll be kicked off medicaid again, starting this whole mess over.

so, riddled with anxiety, i did more drawings.

In fact, Fox paid out $787,500,000.00 just so it wouldn’t have to reveal in open court how mendacious and duplicitous it is.

Though most Fox viewers probably wouldn’t really care anyway. It’s a lot easier to indoctrinate people than it is to deprogram them.
