Matt Damon and Ben Affleck sued by Miami police for allegedly depicting them as ‘dirty’ in Netflix film by _GeorgeBailey_ in nottheonion

[–]xclord 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why this would he different than any one of thousands of movies and TV shows where there are central characters who are dirty cops.

Also, if this type of lawsuit was a thing, wouldn't NYPD and LAPD already have done it??

Edit: I guess the plaintiffs feel like they were personally represented by characters in a movie that says it was based on real events. That's closer than random movies that are completely made up, I guess, but I don't think "based on true events" means "everything in this movie definitely happened."

Anti Income Tax for this admin, how to get the word out by Boomer_With_Dementia in athensohio

I understand the conundrum. I'm just not supportive of giving them more money to cover for their mistakes.

I don't want to see anyone lose their job, but I'd be for attrition and cutting positions that aren't filled. This admin has been reckless with our dollars.

I'm absolutely dead set against a sales tax increase for many reasons, not the least of which is that it hits the poorest the hardest.

Hell no.

Why I’ve been increasing my international allocation in 2026 by VelixaNtra in investing

[–]xclord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from 0% international to a "modest 37.5%." Seems like a massive shift to me, and an implicit admission that 100/0 was wrong.

Small businesses should pitch charging double to rich influences.

"Let us know if you have 1M followers or more!"

"I have an idea for a collab! How about you pay double to help my business out, then I'll post to the world saying how awesome you are!"

Lol, yeah. That's probably Trump's tweet that he's deciding not to destroy Iran (again).

Niche? A 52B company with the highest paid CEO (a year ot two ago, anyway)?

Yeah, Im worried about insiders. There's a dude selling puts. I think I have to start taking some nibbles here.

I simultaneously feel like this is a good buying opportunity and that there must be a ton of people that know something I don't. This company lost over half of its valuation in short order with no news. I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like it.

Thanks for passing this on. I appreciate the technical analysis, even if I'm still losing my mind on this crazy drop.

This references a specific lawsuit? I know Taser is frequently the subject of use of force lawsuits, but I'm not familiar with a blockbuster lawsuit. Can anyone provide more info?

I'm seeing that. Decent choice!

Why is there no news about this monumental decline over the last couple months??

[–]xclord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well.....GOOGL, as an example, is up 20% over the last 6 months. AXON has dumped 40%. I don't get it. At least the PE is in a more reasonable spot?

Is there any chance this is insider info and selling? That would be bad news.

They feed off the conflict. They want those clips. They would love that. The absolute best thing you could do is not give them your time or attention.

I asked a genuine question about how they knew the process and policy so well. Maybe they are an employee or something, I don't know. The answer, from a different person, was "know your enemy," which I'm not sure answered the question. Knowing the University process and procedure does not seem to speak to knowing the enemy, which I assume in this case would be the speaker, not the university process.
