It doesn’t seem like such a large gap or grey area to me. You can tell a woman “Nice T-Shirt” and that is fine but “Nice Tits” is not fine, it’s a pretty clear division to me. What could the Doc say that would qualify him as the monster people are calling him but also not illegal?

They attempted to not pay out his contract btw. He had to sue them to get that, and they payed it out. If they had evidence of such behavior from him then I’m sure courts would agree that his own actions destroying his own public image would have been more than enough reason to cancel the contract.

I’m not defending any potential actions he took, but:

There are laws about sexting minors, so if he had done that then he would have broken it and they would have plenty of evidence of that.

If nobody above 18 is morally justified to be in a chat with anybody under 18 then we’ve got some serious societal level issues to fix.

He never tweeted that he “sexted a minor.”

Link to HIS TWEET

“These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.”

Now, I personally pretty regularly say a lot of shit that can be considered “inappropriate,” but that does not equate to sexual on its own. I’m interested in seeing how this story develops, but it seems most people have already made up their minds and branded him a criminal.

I am willing to believe the accusations, but I won’t take the word of people who tried to weasel out of his contract termination fees.

If they had evidence of sexting in 2017 then why didn’t they report it to the police? Why quietly ban him in 2020?

Seems to me like they had monetary incentive to remove the Doc.

For me, the most egregious example was huggies diapers increasing prices while production costs went down.

I was under the impression that the .ml admins actually promote them because it’s run by people from Hexbear.

Plus whenever somebody talks ill about the CCP over there they get barraged by copypasta responses. Their posts mirror popular posts on other servers, and generally lack any form of real discussion. The place looks like the bottiest of all instances and nothing can change my mind.

Even if it somehow were true in his magical alternative fact reality, him saying this doesn’t help his numbers lol…

Then don’t sexually text any minors. Very simple. Now that I’ve helped you sort out your odd unrelated moral dilema, do you have anything to say about the Doc?

1. I haven’t defended him, I’ve consistently said he might have committed a crime, though that would be unlikely given it was 7 years ago.

2. Labeling everyone you don’t like as a pedophile isn’t a good look.

It was an act passed by congress and signed by a sitting president. Biden alone doesn’t have the authority to change it, and if he did try that then it would be caught up in courts for years.

I wasn’t arguing with you, just building on it.

I know very little, honestly it’s hard to ever really capture all the nuance, but I do recall having conversations about white supremacist movements in Bolivia with ties to a news corporation operating out of Washington DC, which led some to speculate it was primed for a coup by the CIA during the Trump administration or even earlier. Bolivia elected its first indigenous president Morales, but they were ousted in 2019.

So it seems pretty easy to pick a side, at least from a glance, but there is more we don’t know going on than we do.

That’s really neat, I’ve played a few MS-DOS era games but I didn’t think that sort of home computer hardware was around in the mid 80s.

Ah, now Commodores are a name that everybody recognizes.

TBF, after the 2020 election they were faced with issues like budget reconciliation and debt limit (without which nothing would be voted on at all during a government shutdown) as well as reimplementing some of the many regulations taken down by the Trump admin and finally passing a 1.9 Trillion Dollar infrastructure deal alongside a new round of stimulus checks (which the receiving states decided how to use, sadly), and many congressional hearings about corruption of the former administration and federal judges (which ultimately hasn’t lead anywhere other than referrals to the DOJ).

So in the 2 year span that they held 48 + 2 senate seats and house majority, they were pretty tied up I would say.

EDIT: Plus, it would’ve been filibustered anyways.

At risk of embarrassing myself, what the hell is an Amiga?

A while back, HR 1 For the People Act promised to remedy much of the issue but it never got a vote in the senate because Republicans held the Senate Speaker until the next congress was formed.

Well no, it’s better for the politician’s campaign’s wallets. If people could spend campaign funds however they wanted then Donald Trump would have quite a few less pending felonies.

Let that be a lesson.
