Article says this kid was playing Roblox and other video games from age 5 on. A child does not have their own television or game console. But they do have parents. What a crock of sht
12:44 – we blamed the opioid companies for addiction and we blamed cigarette companies for addiction, but those were adults. These are kids and you think the game makers have no responsibility? The case is about a 5 year old, but we see if with teenagers and everyone. We see it with social media. This is the next big boom for mass torts. The evidence against Facebook is tremendous on how they knew they were manipulating kids and didn’t care.

Question for Mr. Dawg: have you given thought to how to handle criticisms of your advertisers? What if Firm ABC buys a spot and then the post come that Attorney B is a jackass? Other media deal with this. Just curious.
Can’t speak for the Dawg, but my impression is that Dawg prevents that by selling spots to confirmed non-jackasses. At least, the test spots went to non-jackasses, so I’m assuming that pattern is likely to continue.
This will probably end up being the case, but we actually spent quite a bit of time thinking through our advertising policy on this issue- which you can find in full, below.
Here’s what we came up with on this exact topic:
No Advertisement, relationship between LB and an Advertiser, or any advertising deal will compromise LB’s independence, integrity and freedom from bias.
LB shall be free to post, comment, and moderate (or not moderate) comments as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, regardless of any relationship with any Advertiser and/or any Advertisement placed on LB. This means that LB may post, comment, and moderate (or not moderate) comments that are inconsistent with, are unflattering to, and/or are critical of the Advertiser or the Advertisement placed on LB.
To clarify, because there’s been some mischaracterization or misunderstanding by the media, she’s not kicked out of office. She’s not allowed to supervise a couple specific cases where the defendants moved to disqualify her (incidentally, this probably hurts the defendants’ chances). Whether this decision spurs the district court to actually replace her is another matter.
Back in the day, I was an IT guy (before a career change to be an attorney 20’ish years ago) at a rather large company. We setup a trash bin in our department for people to drop off AOL floppy disks they received and we’d re-use them for various things in the department. There were years we didn’t have to buy any 3.5″ disks. Crazy that they still actually offered dial-up – who the hell has an actual modem these days?
Anyone else having trouble accessing Odyssey this morning?
“Never mind.”

Roblox @ 12:44
Agree. For these parents, it is always somebody else’s fault.

BK Hottie ad is CLASSIC.
Thank you!
Also partial to the Boyd Class of 2013! Ad. Hilarious.
B13 definitely non-jackasses.

Dawg Q
Point of etiquette re: proper form of address. Is it:
Mr. Dawg, Mr. Law Dawg, the Hon. Law Dawg, or just plain Dawg or even hey you.
I like to respond to anything you all can come up with, although if I’m being honest, I’d rather it not be the “Thwacker”.
>hey you
Out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Chattah disqualified!

Rumor has it she is being replaced by one of our newly elected state district court judges.
For anyone else who didn’t immediately get the reference in the post title: AOL’s dial up service was shut down on 9/30.
