R/legaladvice is a place for people to ask if they have a legitimate case in whatever dispute they're in. People get in some real jams. Some people are more guilty than others. Like this genius.

This interview unintentionally struck gold. The interruptions are wonderfully irreverent and full of lunacy.
I'm overcome with burning questions and emotions right now: is this actually Phil Jackson, and if it is why in the hell is he riding the NYC bus looking like he's one untied oversized shoelace away from getting off at the next stop to let the driver run him over? Seriously Phil, talk to us? What's up bro? Well, regardless of if this is Phil Jackson and he has one of those eye-catching resting bitch face's, or if he's deeply saddened; the Internet was there to capitalize on the momentous photograph with a rollercoaster of hilarious reactions.
Not everyone is happy with the election results from last night — in fact, a solid half of the country really doesn't like it very much at all. But two states are already forming a plan. Californians and New Yorkers on Twitter are calling for a California Exit (Calexit) and a New York Exit (NYexit), respectively, which would see them both seceding from these United States.
Does that mean they're taking Disneyland with them? The Statue of Liberty? Yes. Yes, it does.
If you've ever been to the Big Apple and stopped in a bodega for a breakfast sandwich or something, you've probably been in the presence of a bodega cat. Consider yourself lucky.
Alexander Steinberg, an 18-year-old aspiring filmmaker managed to put together a video that encourages us all as an audience to take a minute, and ask ourselves, 'why does Pokémon GO! matter?'
Does it really? Or is there something more meaningful, impactful 'afoot? Is it the game's ability to unite strangers that'd otherwise never cross paths? One quote captured in the video sticks out in particular:
“You know my favorite part about this? Number one my brother and I used to play this as kids. He ends up passing away,” CrobinMaxxis said, pointing up. “He’s up there still, still, having a better fuckin’ collection than I do. But all the violence in the world, brutality, all this fucking racism. Look around here. You see this?” he said, gesturing to the crowd. “Not a single one is the same. Everyone is having a good time. This is what the world needs now.”
Complete with a performance by Pentatonix, singing their Grammy-nominated track, Dance of The Sugarplum Fairy.

This might not be the best way to begin an engagement...
A dragon row boat capsized Sept. 20 after a man proposed to his girlfriend, tossing 19 people into New York City's East River. They all had to be rescued by emergency services. Thankfully, everyone's fine.
As The Gothamist writes:
Officials say the boat was capsized by a succession of wakes from larger vessels passing nearby, not from the emotional turbulence that inevitably batters every couple who commits to spending their entire lives together in this f*cked up world, so there's no need to see this as a metaphor for their impending nuptials or the institution of marriage in general. But even if it is A Sign, everybody on board survived, so the takeaway is obviously that when you prepare for life's vicissitudes and wear a life preserver everything will be just fine!
Even without the surprise swimming, that can't have been too romantic of a proposal. I mean, those boats are crammed full of people trying to row their little hearts out. So, it's not like you could find privacy or even a moment's peace to look each other in the eyes, contemplating your future.
Those people look pretty cold after their rescue.
But she said yes! So, the day wasn't ruined for at least two of those people.
