it was a garage door pullrope

that the FBI confirms was tied into a noose. The origin of the rope doesn't say anything one way or the other about whether it was intended as a death threat - if I was a shithead racist who wanted to make an anonymous threat, it's not like I'd bring my own rope from home.

The FBI also confirmed that it was tied that way as far back as October and nobody knew that Wallace would be assigned this garage. If you mistake your coat rack for a burglar in the dark, that doesn't mean someone planted the coat rack in your home months ago to scare you.

No, but if you see a noose in your garage and ask why it’s there, it doesn’t make you a liar. Which is how racists are spinning this.

I'm honestly just impressed that it took Nascar no time at all to call in the FBI. I was expecting the usual "We did an investigation. We found nothing." companies do.

I think NASCAR is aware that to grow they need more diversity in amongst the teams, especially drivers. That will drive more than just the redneck demographic into viewership and buying tickets and merch. They need to stomp on this stuff is a very loud and public manner.

It could also be that NASCAR leadership are actually not racist assholes.

NASCAR also banned the Confederate flag at their events and changed the rules so you weren't required to stand during the national anthem. Even if it's driven by profit, it's more than what the NFL did.

Last week, or maybe a couple of weeks ago, NASCAR banned the confederate flag and let Bubba Wallace drive a #BlackLivesMatter car in a race. I’m not a fan, but they have staked out a position, here.

quote:

A Virginia judge dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) in 2018 over statements made by a Republican strategist and two parody accounts, one pretending to be a cow and the other his mother.

Nunes was seeking $250 million in damages, claiming the parody accounts that taunted him and attacks from GOP strategist Liz Mair almost cost him his reelection.

When Nunes sued “Devin Nunes’ Cow” in March 2019, the account had 1,000 followers. But the news that Nunes was suing made the account go viral. Today it has over 725,000 followers.

Nunes claimed in his lawsuit that derogatory comments made about him by the cow, “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and Mair had slandered his character. He also accused Twitter of negligence for not removing the misinformation such as calling him a “treasonous cowpoke” or that “Nunes was ‘voted ‘Most Likely to Commit Treason’ in high school.”

It really does matter if they enforce things going forward, but for now, making someone choose between waving a confederate flag and getting drunk at the racetrack is progress. Some people will be like “can’t spell racecar without race, im done”. Others will not be subject to normalization of the symbol for, at least, however long a race lasts.

Yeah. I'm very glad because while I never cared about nascars before I did a whole bunch on iracing and it's fun as gently caress.

How else would you describe it? It's the straight male equivalent of a dildo but that hardly seems more informative

I actually wonder if there are that many people above/below a certain age who don't know what it is

yeah, it's pro se.

Other highlights:

21 pages(out of 30 total) are just pictures of twitch streamers showing cleavage

quote:

The plaintiff's username on Twitch is 'therealerikestavillo' and he is following exactly 786 female streamers while following zero male streamers with that number continuing to grow as the plaintiff has little control over his addiction. Twitch does not limit how many female viewers a customer can follow via their website.

quote:

However, Twitch violated plaintiff's rights to avoid seeing ads because when he was erroneously banned from certain streamers' channels, he had to create another account in order to see what was being said in these streamers' chat rooms.

quote:

In conclusion, please read the attached Ley-Forensic Applications of Sex Addiction pdf for more information on sex addiction, the harms, and how previous case-law can and should be applied to this case as well.

a summary of the attached pdf posted:

Sex addiction isn't a clinical diagnosis, just a pop culture term. Other than some people who claimed to be sex addicts being ordered into sex addiction therapy, there isn't any case law. Research with self-identified sex addicts suggests they are no less able to control their sexual arousal than anyone else.

I think the generic term for a fleshlight would be a masturbation sleeve.

Is chafed penis a billable medical diagnosis?

He should go after wear and tear depreciation on his fleshlight instead.
