The Saci-Pererê is a Brazilian folklore about a one-legged man who lives in the forest, and loves to play tricks on people. He uses his cap* (autocorrect) to disappear and reappear elsewhere, sets animals loose, steals kid's toys, etc. Not scary but it's what came to mind.

I love the hidden references to Sisyphus' myth as well.

Oh sorry, the scene is very similar to one in Triangle.

I like this meme format, Triangle was a great movie.

Was the first one any good? Might watch these back to back for fun.. but I don't have high hopes that they'll live up to any horror movie standards beyond cheap scares.

Why do most US lawsuits settle instead of going to trial? (lemmy.world)

It seems to me like this is just a bribe to shut up about the cause of the lawsuit. It doesn't lead to justice, and is not punitive enough in the case of large corporations.

I find this disgusting and immoral, but maybe I'm getting something wrong..? I hope so.

Please explain to me why this is, I'm getting irrationally angry at the fact that no one goes to trial for anything, including environmental hazards, rape, etc.

Edit: Found a source that details all the good reasons to go to trial instead of settling. Personally, an admission of guilt and real consequences to a misdeed are incomparably more important than a slap on the wrist like a settlement. https://www.askadamskutner.com/personal-injury/dont-settle-outside-of-court/

Edit 2: I see all the replies mentioning time and costs as the biggest reasons. And I get that, rationally. But sometimes people are irrational, I can't believe 90% of lawsuits settle... (actually it's 95% - https://thelawdictionary.org/article/what-percentage-of-lawsuits-settle-before-trial-what-are-some-statistics-on-personal-injury-settlements/ )

Someone shouldn't be able to have the @admin username (lemmy.world)

It's confusing for new users, and this instance in particular has 7k users but no interactions. It's a bot army, with the top user being called @admin.

Extremely shady and misleading.
