Given "ET of Varginha", I'm delaying my opinion util after evaluating the probing jokes.

Of course, but here's where the superfan aspect comes in. He could be a good writing resource to keep things consistent with canon. No one is saying he's going to write the entire script, are they? He'll do some edits, maybe toss out some relevant canon in the "writers meetings", and he'll get a writing credit which is a superfan "precious".

Hence my "back in the day." Now add in the relative quality of recent stuff vs back in the day. :-)

The theory is that unsupervised social networks can be harmful for young children, plus a corollary that parents have the right to monitor such online activity. These are the two topics that the courts will have to make determinations upon.

I believe the idea is that social media sites will have different minimum age requirements depending on various characteristics.

Because they post in a forum where real names are the default. Not only for themselves, but when they go tagging all their friends in the photos of the party or event.

Different populations, very different behaviors.

Given the ages referred to, their parents have probably already passed on due to old age and left them the house. Isn't it their house now? :-)

Back in the day he was a LOTR superfan. He had all sorts of minutia from the books memorized.

He has some experience writing for TV, again, back in the day.

Apparently given access to Jackson he was able to successfully leverage the preceding.

Thank you for outing yourself as a complete idiot.

The ignorance is yours. To get any cooperation the crime must be illegal in both countries. Call the FBI and tell them a British citizen said something rude to someone online and UK officials would like the FBI to collect evidence, let alone arrest and extradite.

There's your problem.

When a person from the UK travels to another country, they are no longer in the UK and UK laws no longer apply. The person went to 4chan, 4chan did not go to the UK.

"4chan has stated it has no physical presence, employees, assets, or operations in the United Kingdom"

Enough people show up. They avoid having to spend money figuring out if you really got the summons or if the address in the database is old. Also long as enough people show up, they probably give the benefit of the doubt to no shows.

Decades ago when our system was similar, I mentioned that friend's wedding on the paperwork. While the clerks ignored it, it was a statement with no supporting paperwork, the judge did not. And the judge dismissed me from service for the year, I had several days left to the current service. I recall the judge similarly dismissing people with care for others issues.

Again, decades ago. Today, with phone ins we only have to literally show up for one day. And the waiting room has been upgraded with lots of powered cubicles. So many are doing their work remotely.

Kind of, in the context of how much whale oil can we get from one humpback.

I doubt Europeans are any better, except in those European countries that sill hunt whales.

Outside of commercial whaling communities, its probably just Trekkies (ST IV) and marine biologists, USA or EU.

Word analogies don't work when you don't know what is referred to. OK, cantalope sized might be OK, but being a humpback whale weight? That latter is not really an improvement over "it weight a lot".
