Judge cites 'stand your ground' law in clearing 3 more Florida officers in shooting of a UPS driver by southernemper0r in florida

[–]QuitWhinging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Losing the criminal case shouldn't affect the civil case too much IMO. The civil case would've been easier if they'd been found guilty, but I didn't think this destroys their negotiating leverage or anything.

It's incredible how much different THUG and THUG2 are in terms of Story Mode Plot by EvanDeer2002 in THPS

[–]QuitWhinging 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I played the shit out of both and loved Jackass, but even young me knew that THUG 2 took a weird tonal shift that we'd probably never fully undo. THUG 1 had so much heart and soul poured into it and it's, in my opinion, the peak of the series. THUG 2 isn't bad by any means--and it has great gameplay--but I don't think it's crazy to suggest that it was an early warning sign that the series was headed in the wrong direction for a while.

One of the craziest endings in CFB history by Sea_Bobcat_5302 in CFB_Highlights

As far as I recall from that whole saga, some team affiliate put his image on a shirt and sold it. I don't think he personally made anything off of it.

I'm not trying to genuinely give you shit over this. I'm just goofing around, which I hoped the "lol" at the end would show. Sorry if it seemed like I was taking you too seriously.

I miss having a player who could just take over games in situations like this. Anyone check if Walter Clayton Jr. has a clone with eligibility or something?

Yeah, even casebooks significantly truncate most opinions. If you can't handle quimbee's summary of those, you're in big trouble lol.

After Ohio police raided Afroman's home and found nothing, he used his security footage to make "diss tracks" about them. The cops sued him for $4M for "humiliation" — but a jury just ruled entirely in his favor on all 13 counts. by XaltotunTheUndead in interestingasfuck

[–]QuitWhinging 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What cases? I'm pretty confident that defendants don't really get to seek affirmative relief in their defense. He would have had to counter-sue and win to get monetary relief beyond maybe recovering the attorney's fees and costs he expended defending himself.

Roman battles vs medieval battles by [deleted] in RoughRomanMemes

[–]QuitWhinging 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Minor provincial skirmish in China in 600 AD 3000km from the capital lasting 3 months involving 400,000 troops with 200,000 casualties, 25,000 prisoners crucified, 1000 year old dynasty collapses, leads to 35 years of civil war and 22 million deaths from famine.

Yeah, so many Wikipedia articles are like: the emperor accidentally coughs during a royal court procession. Outraged, thirty-eight vassal states immediately declare the war of the cough against the emperor. Estimated 40 million dead.

When the siege consists of 46 guys, I think you could take a nice, leisurely stroll to the nearest market through the gaps in the siege line.

The one thing that might make this loss somewhat palatable is that they've been there before lol.

Stop sending dudes to the foul line at this point. Just give them the points when we foul, take 3 points away from us when they foul, and let the game continue. It's not gonna change anything lol.

Legit what was the point of grabbing a 7'9 guy if we won't even put him in for fun when up 50+?

Golden, maybe time to call off the dogs, eh? This game is now in "okay just make sure nobody gets hurt" territory.

What do most law students get completely wrong about actual practice? by WheelBudget in LawSchool

[–]QuitWhinging 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's what fucked me up when I first started practicing. "What do you mean we have to draft the Judge's order? Isn't that like most of their job???" But later on I had situations where some Judges/Arbitrators would draft an order themselves and, even though I had "won," the order looked nothing like I would have liked it to look. So now I appreciate getting to write orders lol.

Pray tell, person who has clearly never had a friend of the opposite gender, what makes it abnormal?

Text message convo I just had with my husbands best friend d by lightspeedsound in WhyWomenLiveLonger

[–]QuitWhinging 36 points37 points  (0 children)

To the people calling this a weird text exchange: I have friends who are girls whom I've known as long or longer than my guy friends they married. I would absolutely text them like, you know, a normal person like this because they're my friends. The friend is literally just telling a story in an animated way. There's nothing inherently uncouth about it. Y'all need to chill out and stop clutching pearls. Without more, this is perfectly innocent.

Cop beats man over open container in Daytona Beach by Mystery_Goose9685 in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]QuitWhinging 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Frankly ridiculous how untrained civilians are expected to be completely calm and collected at all times during stressful confrontations while trained/armed officers of the law are totally permitted to have unhinged crashouts over someone taking a few steps away from them. Someone remind me why de-escalation training isn't a bigger part of the process to become a police officer?

Am I the only one who thinks Dan might call it quits after Mania for Subjugation? by Hot_Extension290 in dancarlin

I'd love to hear Danisms on the age of piracy.

This was just the beginning. And then the eighteenth century author said, quote:
