To put that into perspective, our star has about 6 _billion_ years until it hits the white dwarf phase, and the longest estimated lifespan of any star (the smallest of red dwarf stars) is about 10 trillion years. It's thought the galaxies will all go dark about 120 trillion years from now, since there won't be enough hydrogen gas left to form new stars anywhere, except via rare collisions between already-existing stellar or substellar objects.

The whole "lawyers eating Chinese food" thing actually makes a lot of sense, from a logical perspective; traditionally, the only two types of food available for delivery, as busy law firms wouldn't have the spare time to send someone out to buy food, were Chinese food and pizza, and it would probably look really bad for important legal documents to show up in court covered in grease prints.

To answer "why do class action claim sites look so janky?" it might be an idea to ask "what happens to the unclaimed settlement money ?" Because if that just gets to sit in a law firm's account earning interest, I think we may have our answer as to the reason for the low quality of the websites.

Math doesn't have a side I was part of a class-action lawsuit with an online publishing company 18 years ago and just last year I got another check from that settlement, probably the eighth or ninth check I have gotten over the years. Unclaimed settlements, by law, have to be redispersed until the settlement fund is gone. More likely in the future I might even get another check from the settlement and the one from Postmates. Of course, each new round of checks will be substantially smaller.

I was a part time bailiff for a several months and remember seeing a defense attorney, prosecutor, and judge chatting away about a ski vacation one of them took while the defendant was squirming. I was thinking, wow those dinner scenes in Law & Order had some truth. It also kinda makes sense. After a while I realized most lawyers would come from similar school or professional circles. Lots of defense attorneys are former prosecutors and judges are former lawyers. Also it doesn't help to be too adversarial either.

The food trope started with Law and Order because the director didn't know how to make scenes look less boring while people were just discussing what was going on. He ultimately decided people eating and talking helped make the scene look more dynamic. It's why cops are constantly getting food at food carts on the streets and lawyers are always eating takeaway in their offices or dining out at restaurants while discussing cases.

@@macdjord I mean, they are. That's kind of the entire thing. Class action lawsuits are generally a fuckton of people who have been wronged, but not massively in a way that would make it worth it to sue on their own. So some lawyers sniff out these situations, go "okay, look, I can definitely try to punch McDonald's in the nose or something, and I'll do it for free, but in return, part of the full recovered sum is mine. If we lose, which is a possibility, none of y'all have to pay anything." So there are two options for a lawsuit, either the lawyers take it for free and go "yeah, pay me when you win" (but then, since I'm putting *my* income on the line to prosecute your claim, I'll take 25% of the total sum) or they go "pay as you go, my billable rate is like $500 per hour of work, and if we lose, you still have to pay me." Who would sign on to a class action lawsuit with a real chance of losing where you'd have to pay the law firm if you lost?

The one (almost) class action lawsuit I remember most, didn't actually make it that far. It was back when Sony Online Entertainment ran the game Star Wars Galaxies. Long story short, they pulled a bait and switch on the players of the Creature Handler class who pre-ordered the Trials of Obi-Wan expansion to get a special item that gave bonus levels. Then, two weeks after that expansion came out, fundamental changes were made to the game, including the complete removal of the creature handler class making the necklace completely worthless. Large numbers of creature handler players threatened a class action lawsuit, including some of us (not me) who were lawyers going pro bono. Realizing the number of lawyer players we had running pro bono and that they'd spend more money trying to fight us than it was worth to them, they nipped the class action before it got started by agreeing to give all players who had any points in the creature handler class prior to the expansion a full refund.

IIRC, the reason that settlement websites tend to look shady is because settlement companies have stopped trying to get ahead of scammers. Because there are so many of them and they handle enough of a volume that they can't customize them, scammers are pretty much guaranteed to have access to their templates. If they make a new template, then by the time they get a chance to use it there would probably be a significant amount of scam settlement sites out there using it.
