Moridin920 posted:Sometimes I play beer pong at my friend's house and sometimes a few of them insist that we use water in the beer cups and just take a swig of beer every time instead, so as to avoid germs and dirt and hairs and whatever. First of all, that's what the goddamn water cup is for. Second of all, there's no way to make sure you're actually drinking the right amount. Third, stop being such a loving bitch jesus christ. That could be cool as long as you have some rule like "you must finish your beer by every fourth ball-in-cup," like you said to make sure they are drinking the right amounr

What kind of Millenial loving bullshit is it to be scared of germs while playing beer pong? That skank you're going to make out with later in the night has had more hairy balls in her mouth than you will during beer pong.

Melmac posted:What Yeah no the kind of rich you usually associate with "too rich to go to jail" is way richer than these people were. They bought a nice lawyer and it worked once, but they cant buy their way out of this. $450,000 a year would bankrupt the average multimillionaire in a very short amount of time, plus millions in settlements. This isn't the same as like someone with a hundred million dollars, or billions... which is often confused

spacemang_spliff posted:lol can we go back to how goons think an F150 is a rich dudes car? Actually you can write off the expense of a full size pickup truck if you file paperwork to own a business, so instead of paying that $60k in taxes it's like, free truck. A lot of people in the "small town, couple million net worth" tax bracket file taxes as a "consultant" and own a (free) pickup with wood and leather interiors and lots of cup holders and like, gps luxury stuff etc

Three Olives posted:Good news, they found Ethan Couch, he was apparently just vacationing in Puerto Vallarta. Lmao I loving knew they'd try to hide out in a resort. But yeah I'm sure it's just a huge coincidence that he fled the country right after an incriminating video surfaced. He's even dumber than I thought because he would've had a way easier time explaining away the video. But not checking in with his probie officer and leaving the country are automatic violations. haljordan fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Dec 29, 2015 |

Turtle Sandbox posted:Exactly how much money do you need to run someone over with your car and not get jail time, asking for a friend. It's not just about money, unless you've got hundreds of millions (or billions) of dollars. You have to be white, in a state with elected judges, and relatively wealthy enough to be a threat to said elected judge come re-election time if he/she doesn't throw the case in your favor (bonus points if you're the wealthiest/one of the wealthiest families in a small town, since then you can also threaten to make the judge's life hell). Bastard Tetris posted:eh I went to high school with kids richer than him that went on to commit felonies who went to prison as a result Texas has elected judges, and their criminal justice system is a corrupt joke. Go figure. THE DOG HOUSE posted:lets not exaggerate, it was an f150 that he was banging a passed out 14 year old in that they abandoned overnight. f150s are not rich people cars Rural & small-town rich people show off their wealth through buying big trucks, especially in the South. The thought of buying an actual car doesn't even enter their minds, it's trucks trucks trucks.
