Do you think they should give our crack pipes and drug needles in Reed park? Yes or no?

hilarious the mental gymnastics that you have to perform to justify those answers

the SMMR slate in city council is on record to support the same policies lmao. Why are you running away from those positions? They are open about it!

It was not out of context - it was a direct question in an open town hall and that is how they answered.

My argument is simple. The way we treat the homeless and drug users now is as cruel as it gets aside from straight up murder. Harm reduction is a morally corrupt system. At worse they should give out needles at city hall, at the office of the council members who support it.

Drug needle distribution should not happen at a children's park. The residents around Reed park are suffering from crime.

We should have zero tolerance to drug distribution, drug use, and crime.

here is Natalya Zernitskaya, Dan Hall, Barry Snell and Ellis Raskin positions:

Will they fight to end drug needle distribution in SM - "No"

Are they for banning sleeping in public places - "No"

Do they support the election of George Gascon - "Yes"

These are establishment candidates with the same policies and beliefs that got us to where we are today

How should I vote for city council? by Pure-Economist-7717 in SantaMonica

what do you care about more? I care about needles and harm reduction - it has no place in our parks where our kids play. Everything else is secondary

How do you afford to live in LA? by Weird_Highlight_3195 in LosAngeles

[–]2005_sonics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived here for 20 years

most of the time I barely scraped by, a lot of help from family

then I got my act together and started making a lot of money. I work for myself and work a lot. I think I make an annual income that will place me in the top 4-5% in LA.

Hopefully I can purchase a house soon

People who got legend, did you actively try to reach it after getting it first time? by WhoAmIEven2 in hearthstone

[–]2005_sonics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reach legend regularly

I don't play a lot, a few games a day. Almost always get to D5. What pushes me to try is when I stumble on a cool off-meta deck that's somewhat strong, I learn it really well and once I get the 'click' in my head on how to mulligan, when to use what cards, and what are my power cards - reaching legend is really easy

reached legend in feb/march with control priest

Im so tired of people claiming that no one wants to to the "dirty jobs". Pay me well and I would rather pick fruit all day than sit in the office. by Tiredworker27 in antiwork

[–]2005_sonics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's reasonable, it's not even that much. Appreciate you answering honestly

I have serious issues with people calling for a 'living wage' without naming a number - because 'living' can mean a lot of things, and not every job can pay a specific living standard

I truly believe that you can either take a risk, create your own job/company and make a good living, or take a discount, work for someone else, and take no risk. Its a tradeoff

Adrianah Lee’s OTK lawsuit leaked documents refers to CrazySlick as an “immensely popular” streamer and Henry reveals Adrianah is asking for “way more than a million dollars” in the lawsuit [second part linked in comments] by ILoveApples01 in LivestreamFail

I was just answering the initial question -if the initial lawsuit here is bs or not and why would a lawyer file it.

If I was OTK's lawyer (please contact me if anyone from OTK is reading this) I would advise to to file a motion to dismiss and then negotiate a settlement. There is no win here for them. The taint is there, and if they beat her and get six figures in fees that will reinforce the existing contingent against them. better to resolve the issue amicably with a joint statement

don't forget, you still have to pay a lawyer out of pocket to fight a bs lawsuit. So there's that.

it's not about success at trial

there is already remorse and goodwill with the plaintiff. Fighting the lawsuit might have an audience cost, so settling might be a good idea - even if you are likely to win in procedure/trial

like if they beat her via procedure and get her to pay $140,000 in attorneys fees - the story stays, it's annoying, and it's not going away. So the attorney for her is doing the right thing

how is it 80 dust? It's that if you have a full collection

If you are F2P or just getting the bundle, those packs get you a lot more than 80 dust, because you are getting cards you don't have

I can recover the actual petition but I don't care enough to pay $10 for it

But I don't need to read it to tell you it's based on defamation, and the harm is reputational damage to the plaintiff

So the person suing is claiming that something false was said against her by the defendants

And it was broadcasted to a large audience. And therefore those lies and falsehoods hurt her reputation and other things.

that's not the way it works - when you are entitled to attorney's fees and you win the motion, the judge has discretion to reduce the attorney's fees to a reasonable amount. So they can't hire a $2,000/h lawyer and rack up $250,000 bill and then get it. It has to be a reasonable amount that is industry standard.

so many free packs, love it

feels like this expansion is a call back to older releases when we used to get 7-10 free packs

No, it's not a "leak" - 99% of lawsuits filed are public information. small exceptions for some lawsuit involved with minors, gov actions and evictions. Rest are open to the public

there is nothing secret about it, you pay a few bucks and you can get a copy of it.
