Radio music

2017-09-12 22:13:26 UTC  

It's certainly special

2017-09-12 22:13:34 UTC  

No, actually, it's normal

2017-09-12 22:13:40 UTC  

it's normal and obnoxious

2017-09-12 22:13:41 UTC  

UOC what do you make of the Equifax scandal

2017-09-12 22:13:45 UTC  

dudes, I am in this fantasy literature discord that has a music channel that would make you guys truly suicidal

2017-09-12 22:13:51 UTC  

I quit at my last gym because they kept playing retarded nigger music

2017-09-12 22:14:07 UTC  

Let's try to figure out what the best negro music of the ages is

2017-09-12 22:14:12 UTC  

link some uoc

2017-09-12 22:14:14 UTC  

Jazz

2017-09-12 22:14:17 UTC  

By far

2017-09-12 22:14:17 UTC  

I only just heard about the equifax thing

2017-09-12 22:14:19 UTC  

I submit two suggestions: John Coltrane (jazz) and Michael Jackson (pop)

2017-09-12 22:14:23 UTC  

I will read up on it and answer you

2017-09-12 22:14:25 UTC  

jazz by a long shot

2017-09-12 22:14:29 UTC  

michael jackson is ok

2017-09-12 22:14:34 UTC  

Hagel I agree with your opinion of negroid music

2017-09-12 22:14:56 UTC  

except I like old timey blues too like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf

2017-09-12 22:15:43 UTC  

the best negro music comes from detroit

2017-09-12 22:16:02 UTC  

oh its a mandatory arbitration clause issue

2017-09-12 22:16:27 UTC  

the best negroid music was when louis theroux made a rap song

2017-09-12 22:16:40 UTC  

those are becoming pretty disfavored. I don't know how equifax will shake out, but my guess is that there is a chance some judge will find that clause to be "unconscionable"

2017-09-12 22:16:40 UTC  

or maybe it's sun ra

2017-09-12 22:16:46 UTC  

sun ra is solid

2017-09-12 22:17:03 UTC  

space IS the place

2017-09-12 22:17:08 UTC  

What does that mean

2017-09-12 22:17:17 UTC  

In a legal sense

2017-09-12 22:17:54 UTC  

contractual provisions that are "unconscionable" are unenforceable. If a mandatory arbitration clause is found to be unconscionable, it would allow people to sue Equifax over this despite what their fine print says.

2017-09-12 22:18:21 UTC  

I see

2017-09-12 22:18:22 UTC  

unconscionability is basically a balancing test between a bunch of different factors that ultimately come down to what the judge thinks

2017-09-12 22:18:45 UTC  

outcome will depend a lot on where suit is brought and what judge hears the case

2017-09-12 22:19:26 UTC  

What kind of court would hear such a case

2017-09-12 22:19:33 UTC  

Supreme court?

2017-09-12 22:19:56 UTC  

generally, things are unconscionable when there is a big imbalance in the position of the two parties. For example, a huge corporation would have much more bargaining power, much more sophistication; a random person would have fewer options, less knowledge, etc

2017-09-12 22:20:20 UTC  

that imbalance getting big enough is when courts start calling things unconscionable

2017-09-12 22:20:49 UTC  

No, this case would either be brought in state district court and removed to federal court, or just brought in federal district court

2017-09-12 22:21:04 UTC  

a district court judge would make a decision, which will probably go through a long ass appeals process

2017-09-12 22:21:18 UTC  

unlikely to go to Supreme Court

2017-09-12 22:22:44 UTC  

the classic case for this issue in school is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_v._Walker-Thomas_Furniture_Co.

2017-09-12 22:23:14 UTC  

"Unconscionability has generally been recognized to include an absence of meaningful choice on the part of one of the parties together with contract terms which are unreasonably favorable to the other party...."
