Can you provide a legal foundation for how Reddit might be at risk of litigation of saying something like "She was let go because we disagreed with her vision of how to operate Reddit."

Ah yes, the much vaunted "Hipster-Hate" of the Slashdot neckbeard crowd. Quick, get on board the Hipster-hate train before it leaves the station! It's cool to hate on "hipsters" now, dontchya know...that's the new trend!
Of course, slavishly following the new hipster-hate trend might make you...wait for it...
a hipster.
Although maybe you neckbeards were hating on hipsters *before it was cool*, in which case you are still hipsters.
See, the great thing about all the stereotypical hipsters I know, and I know quite a few as I live in San Francisco, is that not a single one of them gives two shits about what people on the internet say about their love of organic, artisan food, their facial hair, or their Prius or whatever people think defines a hipster.

Somebody got the bright idea many years ago to roast pigs and slabs of beef in these things. What would normally take hours to cook was done in one or two hours, and I have never had a better pig. It was delicious.
Except that car drivers are in the majority, they vote, and have power.

Welcome to the future.
The problem with this approach is that ambiguity doesn't really mesh well with traffic laws.
Lets say you follow his design approach and you remove curbs, crosswalks and signage from a busy intersection. While trying to navigate through the intersection, I accidentally hit someone who has run into the street. There's no signs, no lights or anything...who is to blame? In California, the pedestrian always has the right of way, but this doesn't make it easy to navigate traffic in a busy city where you are trying to pay attention to 1000 things on the road at once.
Street signs have they benefit of at least attempting to make things predictable. If there is a "Do not cross" light for pedestrians at an intersection when I approach it, I can be reasonably certain that a pedestrian won't run out in front of me...I could easily be wrong, and some idiot could still do it, but most of the time they won't. With no traffic signs/lights, there is no predictability.
England is dealing with a fairly extensive and real group of Muslim fundamentalists. It's much more noticeable over there than it is here in the states. Are people implying that the government over there shouldn't try to keep track of a group of people who have stated very clearly they would like to see the spread of Islamic law? A group of people that has sent young men to Iraq and Syria to fight and die for ISIS?
But it's not relevant that 1 gallon of water goes into 1 almond.
1) The water used for almond trees comes from the land the almonds are grown on. 2) It takes 6 gallons of water for every walnut; no one is going after walnut growers for some reason. 3) It takes more than a gallon of water to make a gallon of beer. You have to water the grain to make the beer, of course. Why not target the huge amount of brewers in the state instead of going after almonds? Clearly almonds are better for you than beer.
When we start going down this path of who uses too much water in agriculture, it's a rabbit hole.
As farmers like to say, California's biggest crop is grass, as in your lawn. Your lawns are not necessary.
Well, there's certainly few or no reports about them being verbally abusing or mean towards people. Note that a person can be blunt without being mean. Mean people tend to make things personal. That doesn't mean that these individuals don't demand quality.
I hate to break it to you, but you are unlikely to get a Black Lotus in your random box. In almost all cases when people sell boxes of "random" cards they have taken out all the good ones to sell individually. Just sayin.
Uh, both of those cards are fine for casual. The reason Magic is awesome is cards the Spikes out there consider "jank" can be a lot of fun for casual magic players.
What would be amusing would be to get to the point where a person could generate their own set, print them out with the approximate levels of rarity necessay for a set, and then have a draft with the random cards.
Who wouldn't like a card with MointainSpoink and Tromple?
The most famous donor in Australia has left the Citadel and is out wandering around the Outback, so it may be tough to find him...although some of Immortan Joe's henchman might be after him...
Yes but not exactly where you started, which is a requirement. Although one could argue it's impossible to do so as the earth is moving through space (and time) so I would ask for a clarification from Mr. Musk before answering: "...exactly where I started, relative to WHAT, Mr. Musk?"
If he says simply, "well, relative to where you started - EXACTLY where you started!" I would sy it's impossible and say it's a trick question.
I don't know that is advanced. Criminals or those accused of being criminals have the option of doing things with their property until they are convicted unless they are seized beforehand. This means that someone running the domain names would be able to sell them off, duplicate them, make other arrangements etc until they are convicted. If they are seized beforehand, they are unable to do this. And note this is NOT the same as "guilty until proven innocent".
The current biker battle in Texas is a great example. The government has seized all of the 180-odd bikes belonging to the bikers arrested after the battle in Waco this weekend. Those bikes will be held, but as soon as the people are convicted, they will be forefiet and sold off.
If the government had NOT seized them and left them to stay there, you'd have other bikers coming in, hauling those bikes off, and either keeping them until their owners were released or convicted, or being sold off immediately. If their owner was convicted, what you most definitely would NOT see would be the government being able to get any of those bikes back so that they could make sure the owner forfeited them.
I understand Europeans and others have difficulty understanding this. I'll explain:
We generally believe that certain crimes are so horrific that the only possible punishment is death. Unlike other places, our criminal justice system is not merely based around removing the threat from society, or rehabilitating them, but also around the idea of punishment.
Personally I find it horrific that in places like Norway someone like Brevik can be sentenced to only 21 years in prison for murdering dozens of people. This negates and ignores what he has done, and instead only focuses on rehabilitation, i.e., focusing on what this man can do in the future. The idea being that the past is past, and punishing someone won't bring back the people he killed.
This misses the point. Justice based upon the idea of punishing someone, as a part of retributive justice or deterrence, has a long history, and while continentals may disagree, it's what we in the US choose to do. We believe, or at least our court system does, that some people DESERVE to die for their actions.
"The incendiary acts behind the move appears to be the wide-spread pirating of 2014 action blockbuster The Expendables 3, about which Mark Gill comments that it “has been illegally viewed more than 60 million times, the CAS only allowed 0.3% of our infringement notices through to their customers. The other 99.7% of the time, the notices went in the trash"
And how the hell would they know this? It's not like snail mail letters have GPS attached to them so the sender will know you have opened them. How do they have any idea at all in any way shape or form how often these letters were received, opened, read or followed? I smell a rat...
It's not an issue of a mere mistake. It's primarily a bad business decision, but also a very cynical one. I can forgive the bad business decision...companies make those all the time. It's the TYPE of business decision it was, which was an attempt to hijack choice away from consumers, which affects people personally when they use this machine for their coffee. That's something people will have a hard time forgiving.

There are no Angels in green. They are all white, black and maybe red.
Cards like this only work as part of the whole if the rest of the set takes cards like this into account. Otherwise it's all random and unbalanced.
What would be amusing would be to get to the point where a person could generate their own set, print them out with the approximate levels of rarity necessay for a set, and then have a draft with the random cards.

Exactly. It takes a while but it is worth it; the bee actually really loves to be massaged and have his tummy rubbed.

Well actually, they were literally admitting they were wrong. Literally.
It's not an issue of a mere mistake. It's primarily a bad business decision, but also a very cynical one. I can forgive the bad business decision...companies make those all the time.
