Like how does anyone with two brain cells to rub together listen to Alex Jones and think what he says is true? You can see him as a loving carnival huckster a mile away.

Josh Lyman posted:It doesn't show up on streaming until Monday like 9am or something Outside of one or two episodes in the past... no. It usually shows up at 11 or a few minutes after. This time it didn't show up until it finished airing live, and I watched it then. Just curious about why it doesn't always show up on time, compared to a show like Game of Thrones, which has always been up at 9:01.

Why didn't he point out that "Doctor" isn't really a doctor? Chiropractic is bullshit and its practitioners don't go to medical school, they get some anatomy training but that's it. They are not medical doctors.

They are not medical doctors. "Physician" is the term you're looking for. "Doctor" applies to anyone with a doctorate, whether real (earned,) bogus, or honorary. For examples, Stephen Colbert has an honorary doctorate (of Fine Arts,) Ken Jeong an M.D., and Bill Cosby (!) has one of Education. All three of those people are Doctors but only one is a physician (albeit not practicing.) Chiropractors are indeed quacks though, and are considered so by every actual physician.

Actually, general convention is that honorary doctorate holders aren't entitled to call themselves Doctor. It's not like titles of address are regulated, though, so some people just call themselves Doctor anyway.

IRQ posted:Can you imagine being on the receiving end of alex jones sex? What kind of bonkers woman would sleep with that thing? See, you say that, but then... who knows? It could be amazingly intense, driving any woman he does sex to to have one screeching orgasm after another. And once he's got her mind all mushed up with dick-drunk, he starts telling her about lizard people who rule the world and set up false flag mass shootings. And her temporarily malleable mind accepts it as gospel. I know it sounds crazy, but he might be super, super good at doing sex to women. Maybe that's how his marriage lasted as long as it did. And I'm only suggesting this because a guy who is as bad at life as this guy is has to be good at something. I know that's not scientifically correct, but I have to believe that when the almighty beats us with the ugly and crazy sticks, that he balances it out somehow.

But everyone who says that either wants to look like that, or they want to gently caress someone who looks like that. Alex Jones: PUSSY SMASHER.

Oh God, check out page 7. "And with regard to the Dr. Evil remark, it should be remembered that truth is an absolute defense to a claim of defamation." After the citation, photos of Dr. Evil and Bob Murray are provided, both in similar poses. Kind-of snarky for a legal document put together by professional lawyers, but I love it.

There's a weird misconception that law is deathly serious. On the civil side, often, a little levity goes a long way in spicing up proceedings.

Lawyers don't help themselves in fairness, since most things are couched in really dull, dry language. Apparently deliberately, to help obfuscate what they're doing and make it easier to keep it somewhat of a skilled professional language a lot of people can't understand; though I admit that's purely on anecdotal evidence and there may be a more simple and blasé reason for it.

Well it's partly that but also clarity of meaning is super important in legal documents, and flowery language, while fun, is not generally as precise as boring, strictly defined legal terminology.

MrWilderheap posted:If someone has a history of frivolous lawsuits can they be fined or something eventually? IDK poo poo about the law It depends. If they are levied by the same person against a single person/entity and they are truly frivolous, a case can be made for harassment and a restraining order issued. If its like that crazy guy who sues literally everyone over everything, not much can be done except watch them get tossed at the first possible moment.
