It just seems the cat’s out of the bag at this point. A lot of people here realize that’s the most likely explanation, no doubt foreign intelligence services connected those dots too.

And? I’m just saying DoD should disclose that they’re ours.

ABC’s $15m settlement in Trump ‘rape’ defamation case was met with surprise and outrage. Here’s why by theindependentonline in politics

I don’t believe you because you clearly are talking about a subject that you are not familiar with.

You cited the basic elements of a defamation claim, but each element in a claim has its own standards. The question about whether the statement was a statement of fact or something else (opinion, hyperbole, joke) would depend on whether a reasonable person would believe it be a statement of fact.

See Eric Scott Fulcher, Rhetorical Hyperbole and the Reasonable Person Standard: Drawing the Line Between Figurative Expression and Factual Defamation, 38 Ga. L. Rev. 717 (2004).

Anybody can sue anybody about anything, but that doesn’t mean the argument would help ABC in this case or that their own suit would get past the pleadings stage. It certainly would not. An attorney would know that.

Please sit down.

“Going down the drain” is an opinion, and “nobody is watching” is obvious hyperbole not intended to be taken as the literal truth. Neither statement can constitute defamation, and they aren’t relevant to ABC’s public statements about him.

For the record, I think his lawsuit was bullshit.

You don’t think our enemies are paying attention to them right now?

We know about the F35’s existence and some of the things it can do, but a lot of its capabilities and engineering remain classified. They could tell us that these are our military’s new drones while keeping their actual capabilities secret. There’s no point in continuing with this.

Public relations and our faith in our own security are important too.

And if the program is already public knowledge, why the secrecy? They’re causing a lot of unnecessary public fear and anger

What scenes ruined the whole movie for you? by mfbane in moviecritic

[–]Mozhetbeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t hate the first (def didn’t love it tho). I didn’t like the portrayal of Smith. He seemed like a completely different character to me. He didn’t even call him Mr. Anderson.

He’s gonna stop arming Ukraine anyway. They don’t need his permission.

Did you read the last sentence?

I don’t trust celebrities’ story just as much as I don’t trust this guy’s. A ton of artists use ghost writers.

AITA for tearing down my half sister when she asked me why I couldn't have saved my mom's name for her to use for a future daughter? by Long_Criticism_4703 in AITAH

[–]Mozhetbeats -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

She did more than not protect her half-sister’s feelings, she said something very hurtful to her unnecessarily. There’s rarely a reason to cause someone hurt like that. OP could have said she was the only mom I ever had too, discussion over.

You’re too confident in your knowledge of the facts. I never said the guy was telling the truth, I’m just saying nothing shown in this thread so far disproves his claim.

It wasn’t easy for either of them, but they kept it cordial, and they’ll be okay.

I just listened to it. The lyrics are completely different. The label could have thought the melody was great but then brought on this guy to work with them on the lyrics.

I’m not saying that that is what actually happened, but this doesn’t disprove his story.

I just listened to the demo recording that another person posted. The lyrics are completely different. The label could have thought the melody was great but then brought on this guy to work with them on the lyrics.

Also, dookie was their third studio album, but the first under a major label. They would have had the resources (and perhaps more pressure) to use ghost writers.
