That's all I'm saying. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip -3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) And sometimes they don’t. Perhaps we give pause and take a moment? Then maybe lady justice will do diligent service and we can collectively knuckle bump and call it a win?😃 I’m not in a hurry. Let’s see what a civil court says? Six dollars & my left teste says it will be settled ultimately after much dickering for a non disclosed amount. I reckon justice has a dollar amount set as an affirmation. And there still will be the divide. I am not exactly thrilled about this btw. permalink fedilink source parent
