Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Not familiar at all with UK law, but would it have been within the judge’s power to order a psychometric evaluation and you know possibly like a weeklong hospital stay with continued weekly visits to a psychiatrist?

That generally requires them to demonstrate or threaten Self-harm

If only we considered verbal and mental abuse to be harm. What am I saying, that's silly.

Health care has been used as a weapon in the past… and thats not good…

Ruining your future employment prospects over something as silly as a farewell card seems like demonstrable self harm to me

You really want to lock up everyone you think is an asshole?

Nope. Just pointing out that she's fucked herself long term with this frivolous lawsuit, so not only is she an asshole, she also didn't think through how bringing this lawsuit would make her look to her future potential employers. That kind of short sighted thinking combined with being an asshole might need some further evaluation.
