Right? I don’t care what she spends the money on once he loses the appeals and she actually gets it. It’s rightfully hers to do as she wishes. She could retire to a beach somewhere and spend the rest of her life sipping cocktails under the sun for all I care. But it does warm my heart to know she plans to use it for something that’ll piss off that rapist piece of crap.
And yet here you are… the only person in the comment section mentioning politics.
In my experience people like you who take every opportunity to complain about a site/user base being “too political” are only upset their own views are unpopular. Political discussion tends to magically become acceptable when they agree with the prevailing sentiment.
Thank fuck Lemmy exists. Reddit has been a shell of its former self for a very long time but in the last two years or so it’s gotten awful. Things will only get worse once Reddit goes public.
Lemmy reminds me of what Reddit was when I joined in 2011. Much smaller user base that tends to be tech savvy. It’s an old school forum vibe I thought was gone forever.
Spot on, this applies to so many other paranormal events too. Some people refuse to believe that their favorite “mysteries” were never really all that mysterious to begin with. Nor are they willing to accept explanations they view as being too mundane. At a certain point they’ve sunk so much time and become too emotionally invested in the legend to accept anything but the most wild and grand explanations.
Dyatlov Pass is a great example of this. The avalanche theory was always the most likely explanation but without question the least exotic. But it also applies to things like the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film, the 1934 Loch Ness monster photo, the Amityville/DeFeo murders, and conspiracy theories surrounding damn near every modern political assassination since Lincoln.
“She said something that I considered to be a false accusation,” he said, later adding: “I just wanted to defend myself, my family and, frankly, the presidency.”
You sexually assaulted her in 1996 you dumb sack of shit. It was two full decades before you fell ass backwards into the Oval office. This has nothing to do with the presidency. It's about you and your crimes.
Edit: The defamation claim is absolutely about the sexual assault taking place. That’s what he was referring to when he said “something I consider to be a false accusation”. Anyone trying to tell you this trial has nothing to do with the sexual assault is an idiot.
Federal prosecutors referenced the case of right-wing podcaster and former White House official Steve Bannon in their sentencing memo. Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison on a similar contempt conviction in October 2022 but is seeking to overturn his conviction and has not yet served any time.
It's infuriating that these pieces of shit can just be like, "Prison? Nah, I'm good. Just gonna chill for the next two years until hopefully Trump gets elected and gives me another pardon."
I'll second that recommendation. That was one of the most interesting series BtB has ever done. I haven't even been a wrestling fan since I was a kid but it was a fascinating look into the industry and what an absolute monster Vince McMahon has always been.
Side note related to those Podcast episodes: FUCK Hulk Hogan for selling out Jesse Ventura and his peers who were trying to unionize. That piece of shit move caused an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering that could've been avoided had wrestlers been able to form a union and get fair pay and proper healthcare 35 years ago.
According to another article the guy is 43. Imagine proudly throwing away the majority of your forties for Donald fucking Trump. Like most people when I was young I always thought 40 was ancient but now that I'm approaching it myself I simply can't imagine anything being worth losing these years. My partner and I finally have the stability and the means to do many of the things we've always dreamed of. It would be such a waste.
Yeah, I own a lot of my favorites on dvd/bluray, particularly movies that for one reason or another have never been available on streaming. Unfortunately there's an emerging trend of retailers removing DVD's and Blu Ray media from their stores. So while physical media isn't exactly hard to buy yet, unless something happens to reverse this trend it's going to gradually become more difficult to buy physical media.
Yeah that’s an option but it’s not going to be a practical solution for everyone. Most people on Lemmy are more tech savvy than average so they’ll be fine but there are plenty of people who lack the knowledge and skill. And that sucks because people have shown repeatedly that they are more than willing to pay a reasonable rate for the content they want. But these greedy fucks decided they all needed their own service. So now content is fractured across a dozen different apps that are only getting more expensive and ad riddled.
It just plain sucks that your options are either piracy or being constantly fucked over to benefit shareholders.
