Supreme Court rules Rastafari man can’t sue Louisiana prison officials who cut his dreadlocks

Landor during his five-month prison term in 2020. When he entered the prison system, he carried a copy of an appeals court ruling in another inmate’s case holding that cutting religious prisoners’ dreadlocks violated the federal law.

At his first two stops, officials respected his beliefs. But things changed when he got to the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center in Cottonport, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Baton Rouge, for the final three weeks of his term.

A prison guard took the copy of the ruling Landor carried and tossed it in the trash, according to court records. Then the warden ordered guards to cut his dreadlocks. While two guards restrained him, a third shaved his head to the scalp, the records show.

Bro was only in there for five months, everyone else respected his beliefs, until he was sent to another facility for his last 3 weeks in detention. 3 fucking weeks, and they HAD to shave his fucking head? This reeks of racism. Godamn fuck 1312. ACAB gets extended to prison guard bitches too it seems.

How much money have you lost while gambling in one day?

One hundred whole dollars. Played texas hold'em at a casino in Canada when I was 18. $100 buy-in.

Sat down at the table, got dealt in, first hand was suited king queen, ended up with a flush, another guy at the table took me all in and it took me a loooong time to call. Soon as I hit that pot I started bullying the other players with my chip count. Then a guy came over and told me I had to move over to the higher-rollers table.

First hand I'm dealt there? suited ace king. What comes up on the flop? an ace and a king. I slow play the hand, whats the river? another king. I've got a full fucking boat, kings over aces. I go all-in. The only other guy playin calls. I flip mine over, proud. He flips his over, pocket aces. Dude had a full boat aces over kings. Sonofabitch. Left the table, sat outside, called my Dad.

c'est la vie. Haven't gambled since.

Ah, just did, and I think I heard the crinkle of his diaper lmao That's why they all sat down at once, so you wouldn't be able to tell where the sound came from. Wrong about the towel, still right about the diaper

Actors demand action over 'disgusting' video game sex scenes

A summary of the story, scene breakdown and scripts should be distributed to all cast members in advance.

performers should be able to request a closed set where access is kept to a minimum.

A competent intimacy coordinator should be engaged.

These are not big asks.

In one recording for a major game she first learned it was explicit only when she turned up for work.

"This was actually a full-on sex scene," she said.

"I had to [vocally] match the scene and through the glass in the booth was the entire team, all male, watching me.

"It was excruciating... at that stage I had been in the games industry a while, and I had never felt so shaken".

Not unreasonable to say that this situation should not be repeated.

Israeli soldier loses it at Unicef while on vacation

Perfect example of the irrational hatred people have had instilled in them by their governments/parents/education. To be clear, this guy saw a group of UNICEF workers on the street trying to help people, and thought "no, they're helping the people I've been taught to hate, so I will attack and threaten them with violence/death for doing so."

Absolute muppet. Should be rounded up and sent back to his shithole country.

Japan to criminalise cannabis use

amid increasing concerns that the lack of a ban on use is promoting drug abuse by young people.

This fucking backwards ass notion of weed as a "gateway drug" needs to die. Their reasoning for calling it that shows their idiocy, in that it's called that because it's cheap and harmless, so they think it will lead to people believing other drugs are similar. Imagine branding something as dangerous because it's (Checks Notes) cheap and harmless.

Although from personal experience, I'd say that weed is a gateway drug of sorts, in that if you're addicted to something far more dangerous (like alcohol), using weed can act like a "gateway" to sobriety.

I was a small business owner in this same situation. I got a contract, I got partial payment up front, then they reneged upon my finishing the job and asking for the rest of the payment. They said they'd pay me 10% of what they owe, AND demanded additional services for free. I took my contract to a bunch of lawyers, all who said the same thing "They're too rich to sue. They will delay, stall, and after years, even if you won, they still probably won't pay." What they owed me, they bragged about paying every time they flew their private jet. They could easily have paid, but instead they decided to destroy me and my company.

This isn't something the small business owner can protect against. To the rich, none of us or our laws matter.
