Like, how would you even smooth the glue in her hair with her fingers without getting super matted down from the jump?

And social media has made the world so much smaller.
No WAY people should waste their time writing actual articles about this shit under the guise of 'what Black women go through to be seen as acceptable' like make it STOP. Ole girl needs to take that L and go away.

And its also a good lithmus test because anyone who is saying anything other than this girl is goofy you know not to take them seriously on any other topic. They are trying to make it into something bigger because they got time and deadlines.

Journalists, writers, social media personalities, even lawyers are trying to cash in.
There's no clicks and engagements when there's no victim/villain narrative.

No, not necessarily this exact, specific thing.
But there's always some ultimately small story that gains traction and interest well beyond the scope and true impact of the story itself.
Social media makes things like this spread further and faster than ever before. We've had too many viral videos to count, and the stories behind/about them take hold because of the very nature of media today.
This some shit that's big now and will be forgotten once there's some resolution with the lawsuit (WHAT?).
Five years from now, when some other left field story pops up and people are asking the same questions and making the same "wtf is happening to society" comments, this will be a story where someone says, nah, there's always some shit like this, you remember that girl Gorilla Glue in her hair?
Because right now, I'm thinking, from a news standpoint, this isn't much different from the girl who tried to jump off a roof and broke her ankles because she missed the swimming pool.

I'm just trying to see what sort of person still holds the objectively stupid- sorry, that's just what it is, and blatantly so- opinion.
There's really no excuse to still have such a simplistic, ass backward, and objectively incorrect view on the hot coffee lawsuit, because far too much information exists to show that there was absolutely nothing frivolous about that.
Particularly considering facts in evidence that illustrate clear negligence on the part of McDonald's, particularly given that there were 700 such claims in the decade prior.
Not to mention the fact that the woman was simply seeking payment for her medical bills, with a small amount for lost wages of her daughter.
The fact that you'd reference this as a "low bar", while posting a wiki that alone lays out enough information to know that this was a legitimate lawsuit with serious liability issues on the part of McDonald's.
She didn't sue because she spilled hot coffee on herself, and she won because there were significant problems on McDonald's.

> Seems like that set the low bar for these kinda lawsuits.
Key words "these kinda lawsuits." The personal injury field of law seems quite healthy. The job of personal injury lawyers are to file lawsuits. Once the "low bar" was set, anything greater-than or equal to those injuries was lawsuit-worthy in the eyes of a lawyer (because they make money win or lose), whether or not it had the same merit as that case. Legal precedent.
The reason the put "CAUTION: Food will be hot!" on TV dinners that you put in the over at 400+ degrees F.
> To avoid lawsuits.
All I did was point out a cause-and-effect. I didn't make any statement about the merit's of Ms. Liebeck's lawsuit.

Except this was anything but a low bar- which is what I addressed.

......you called her case a low bar.
How about you dig in to the facts of that case before calling it a "low bar" and then making these absurd generalizations that don't actually fit.
