EAT WELL, SLEEP WELL, SHIT WELL! THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!!

Mr. Nice! posted:

He can’t dismiss his case. It has already been dismissed with prejudice. There’s no option to voluntarily dismiss and refile now.

In fact, under the tcpa he couldn't dismiss the suit anyway as soon as the tcpa motion was in place. even if he did, the tcpa would move forward.

That's not what's actually happening(it's from months ago), it's actually about how Beard was having Rekieta run litigation strategy by his fans.

Yeah, not really warming to these guys, one thing they did say that's interesting is that the lawyer with the youtube channel doesn't have malpractice insurance so doesn't look good for the Ty Beards finances, unless getting that when you have a client was the only lesson he learnt from law school.

So has anybody covered how bad this new stuff actually is for Rekieta? Nvm reading more seems like most of the lawyers don't think this actually constitutes Nick working as an attorney for Vic in a legal sense.

Yeah, but Rekieta isn't representing Vic in any way, he just connected Vic to Ty.

Isn’t that Discord transcript evidence that Rekieta handled a lot of planning/strategy for the case?

I have autocorrect disabled on all my devices. I turned it off on iOS on 7 iirc because there was a big shift in its behavior then. I manually typed contractions, and it would do dumb things like we'lol and he'lol because it would think I was done with a word when I hit apostrophe. Turned it off and never looked back.

the saner way is if you go to settings->general->keyboard->text replacement, you can just set up a list of words you want to explicitly have (just fill in phrase, shortcut can be blank)


and then when you yell “gently caress” siri won’t try to queue up a call or text message to a nonexistent contact

How many people will still even be following this in the months it'll even take for the appeal to go through according to the lawyers own feed? Feels like interest would dry up quickly when the Vicstans inevitably get distracted by something else.

This should be a relatively fast appeal. It will still take a couple of months, but there’s no real error made by the lower court judge.

Well yes they literally have no evidence for their claims at all given it was all thrown out due to being made up bullshit. It's not even like they have any remaiming evidence to make their case, it's literally goint "nuh-uh!" but in a long portracted legal battle.

Technically yes but the Supreme Court usually doesn't pick things up that haven't gone to the state supreme court. Also they're not going to pick this up, because it's a case with an obvious answer and no real precedent setting decisions to make/validate. THere's some rumblings of wanting to strike down Sullivan v. the NYT decision because Trumpers hate the "public figure" rules... this is a poor case because that's not the only or primary reason Vic lost.
