   German tourist sued a New York taqueria for providing salsa that was too spicy. Judge says ‘the spice is often the point’

   He should keep this up and keep suing people, he will become American in no time

     To be clear, the ‘a woman sued McDonald’s over hot coffee!’ Case was a legit case where she deserved all of that and more

     @skinnylatte I was confused at first—why would his non-US phone not work with the Walmart WiFi? It turns out Walmart’s “free” WiFi required him to give them a phone number and wouldn’t take non-US numbers (crappy UI that doesn’t even let you enter a country code, I’d bet).

     Lawsuit was definitely stupid, but Walmart is definitely going to abuse that data.

     @skinnylatte @amiserabilist When I am coming down with a cold or the flu i used to go to a local thai place that folded recently ☹️ and get clear chicken soup with bravely authentic spices. I imagined hearing the virus screaming in agony

     @skinnylatte there may be reasons for taquerias not being common in germany?
