Non Political Current Events Thread

I'd rather have tif. What good is a Netflix subscription without someone to give you fun facts in real time like Pop-Up Video? $13/mo is a bit steep, but I'm counting on a solid ROI.

Correction it was$13 bi-weekly. Which the judge summarily doubled when I spotted the forged document. $52/mo.

Tif was like cable where you thought it was one price, but then it changed and got more expensive.

Post by **genoscoif** » Wed Dec 11, 2024 4:52 pm

Well now, for $52/mo I'm gonna need the full package. Movies, music, gaming.......all the fun facts.

The McDonald's where Mangione was arrested was, according to my mom, the first place I ever had a McRib.

His current attorney, Thomas Dickey, was the man my father hired as counsel in my child support action in 1990-something. He attempted to enter a forged document into evidence to help my father avoid paying $13/mo in child support. (That's not a typo - thirteen dollars)

Good ol’ Tom Dickey. He was on CNN Monday night.

I played on his little league team when I was younger, he was a character

I saw a TikTok that made me giggle a bit... it was one of those vids where the guy is arguing with himself as two different people.

"Violence is NEVER the answer..."

"It's number 2 on the list."

"Wut?"

"We tried number 1, voicing our concerns and protesting, now we're on to number 2."

Lady that accused the 3 duke lacrosse players of raping her 20 years ago has admitted she made the whole thing up.

Didn’t we already know that?

Post by **tifosi77** » Fri Dec 13, 2024 3:02 pm

The main thing I remember about the case is that it was so badly handled by the local authorities that the DA was disbarred.

The 30-For-30 on this is pretty great.

She should face jail time.

Post by **AuthorTony** » Fri Dec 13, 2024 3:26 pm

She's already in prison for murder.

She’s in prison for murder.

But yes the prosecution was so fd up and couldn’t find anything they were disbarred.

Post by **count2infinity** » Fri Dec 13, 2024 4:48 pm

I don't recall the details of that... did it ever go to trial? The lacrosse dudes, not the murder.

And I agree. False accusations like that not only destroy the lives of the individuals you're accusing, but they destroy the lives of others that come forward with legitimate claims that aren't believed because you made it all up.

The DA was disbarred and filed for bankruptcy the following year. He deliberately withheld evidence that would have ended that story much sooner.

There's a pretty good book on the whole Duke thing: Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case by Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson.

Nah, accusations are just.

What's going on with these drones and orbs?

Post by **NTP66** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 2:42 pm

Dunno, but I'm sick of seeing Ring Neighbor posts about **** drones. I'm going to start flying my drone at night just to **** with these people after disabling the alerts.

Post by **MR25** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 2:45 pm

Orbs are probably just matrixing from shitty cameras.

I'm sure there's some sort of confidential drone testing occurring that's not exactly military, but contracted by the military that they don't want people to know they're testing, which would explain why they're being seen near bases.

And now it's become widespread because people who don't know what plane or helicopter lights look like at night decided to look up at the sky for the first time in their lives.

I really hope New Jersey congress people stop trying to tell their constituents to shoot at them, because I feel like something is going to go horribly wrong.

Also would not be shocked if Russian trolls are amplifying the hysteria surrounding it.
