Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.

[A Cardboard Box]

The rate it's going, I think it'll either end in that, or Kaya might have enough of shit, file for divoce, and move for custody of the kids.

Lol. She's checked out, mate. If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Captain Manning]

Finally, I find it funny that Nick is so disparaging of the old boomer conservative tack of marketing themselves as 'God, Family, and Country' traditionalists. That was largely his own brand.

Oh, you mean like his "I didn't fight in no Vietnam so you could do that" quip?

I find in hilarious how he defines freedom as the ability to engage in the max amount of degeneracy. It's like every fucking lolbertarian ends up there at some point. It eventually ends with "okay, but what if the child consents?"

Every. Fucking. Time.

This is why Null has strong libertarian leanings, but shudders at the thought of being labeled one. I don't blame him.

Lol. She's checked out, mate. If I were you I wouldn't hold my breath.

I know, but in a relative sense, she might still count as the lesser of two evils.

I just feel bad for the kids.

That's a hell of a thing for a father of five to say. Abandoning your kids is now "based"?

Though I guess it is on-brand if he still wants to still convince everybody that he's basically black.

To be fair, I assume he's saying it in the sense of "Based of Star Trek to show the reality of the lack of black fathers."; or something similar.

Yes, Mormons are weird, but mostly nice.

They're west coast nice. They're shallow and rather fake. I could see an argument that it's more the people, less the cult. But YMMV idgaf.

 

[ReverendVerse]

They believe the trinity are truly separate entities...

That isn't unique to Mormons either. I'm Pentecostal and that's what we believe as well.

 

[Geared Chris]

Whether cops are likely to enforce is another matter entirely but I believe it would still be a problem if he was found plastered being driven around by a 15 year old.

Right. I'm sure that it's seldom pursued by authorities unless they have a huge hard-on to get someone in trouble. Begs the question of whether a few cops may have it out for him.

I think that Duncan stream was part of what helped really break Nick's brain.

I've never agreed with you more. Something switched with Nick in the Duncan stream and its aftermath. People forget that he was irrational, rageful, spiteful, and petty. It was Duncan - in that British way - who kept his cool. I remember going to bed that night wholly disgusted with Nick's behavior despite agreeing with his position.

I know I'll get flak for asking, but at what point did Nick go from being somewhat likeable to the majority of people disliking him?

No flak. It varied and there's plenty of overlap.

• Weebwar (early detractors) - Ty failing Vic & Nick ducking. Plus Pillstream? (I didn't pay attention to that)
• Trad-cons - Degeneracy
• "Feminists" (I'll put Clairebere and Cynthia here) - Degeneracy
• HydroPX (and others) - Calling Monty a pedo with no proof
• Kiwi - Hypocrisy on about 1000 things
• Smarter fans - Realizing how trashy and stupid his Locals loyalists are
• Teetotalers (loosely speaking) - Those triggered or disgusted by addiction
• Law nerds - Nick largely abandoned actual legal coverage and expressed disdain for being "forced" to cover cases (Murdaugh)

Social cues y'all! No one understands them! NO ONE!

Speaking to the converted here but WHAT IS HE FUCKING TALKING ABOUT?

Null is inherently funny which requires understanding social cues. And, even when Null's not funny, his self-deprecating boy-ish giggle makes almost any normal human smile. His streaming job is to laugh at people who don't understand social norms and cues.

Is Nick just pissed off that nerdy Null is actually funnier while also being fairly low-key and generally sober - something Nick has abjectly failed at?

Yeah didn’t he say he read his own thread on a livestream within the past week?

Not directly. He did manage to explain to Camelot how to find Kiwi which was the obvious 'tell'. (That was a week or so ago.)

s there something bad about Matthew Perry I'm missing here?

Am I the only one who remembers how often his fans - back in the day - would compare Nick with Matthew Perry or at least Chandler Bing? That's why Nick's going off.

The comparison back then was valid. Chandler was tall, lanky, nerdy, sarcastic, sardonic, possibly gay, and the joke was no one knew what he actually did for a living.

CGoody is Nick's producer essentially right? Or is it Ryan who has the ability to fuck with the streamyard when Nick walks away? Either way I'm sure one of them would be willing to do some paid work for Sally.

CGoody and Ryan are barely around anymore.

 

[Captain Manning]

To be fair, I assume he's saying it in the sense of "Based of Star Trek to show the reality of the lack of black fathers."; or something similar.

Again, I agree he could mean that, but I think my point is the tweet is very unlike "old Nick." Old Nick wasn't as racist, and he would have probably lambasted the Star Trek creators for glorifying or normalizing child abandonment.

Ya know, kinda how how old Nick just flat out thought Cuties was disgusting. He didn't try to argue Netflix was "based" for unmasking pedos (which I'm sure they inadvertedly did), or some stupid shit like that.

 

[Strix454]

There was an elissa clip where Nick seemed forced to deal with the concept of defamation per se by someone in his chat. He was really not caring hard about it. He also did his usual thing now where he dealt with the situation by misrepresenting his situation and the law as it applies to him.

For example, he implies that what he said is protected speech even though it is in no legal sense protected speech. He goes on along those lines disingenuously mentioning the elements of defamation in a weasel way where he is implying that the apply to his case without saying that they apply.

And he will somehow be able to argue for a summary judgement for reasons and win.

He would be better able to cover up his poor knowledge of the law if he were not so thin-skinned and so willing to go after detractors even when he knows that they are right. But failure and lying is all Nick knows. Its the basis for his entire sad life.

There's a lot of them here. They are courteous, not nice. They tend to be overly concerned with social face and have low social toleration for people who offend their sensibilities in any way. They are also extremely prone to forming enclaves/only doing business with echother.

 

[Doctor John B. Zyklon]

unlike "old Nick."

It reeks of desperation.
"Look how edgy and based I am!" He screams as his audience dwindles.

Thank you for saying it far more succinctly than I could atm.

 

[Captain Manning]

I don't recall that, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. There's a lot I've forgotten. Four years is a hell of a long time. It might have happened off-site. I couldn't find any mention of such comparison through the site search function.

I do recall the less flattering comparisons though. Like Lawtwitter frequently comparing him to Screech (Dustin Diamond) from Saved by the Bell.

I think it goes without saying he's nothing like Matthew Perry now. After all, Perry went into rehab.

He's really going mask-off, isn't he? His persona has become this long-winded, overly public cry for help because his dumb ass committed to the trad lifestyle while inwardly remaining a teenage coomer who resents any sense of responsibility. Well too fucking bad Nick, you're 40 and balding you white bread ass nigga. Even if you left Kayla and the kids today, there's nothing to salvage except an endless sea of wine-moms and whiskey. Enjoy the hell of your own making, and remember: only you could have stopped this, and you didn't Pull Up.

Forgive the cringe, but his cope tweets always remind me of this Rick and Morty skit where the song is a thinly-veiled cry for help:

What is the proper end goal for a lolcow? To redeem themselves and become better or to burn out in spectacular fashion? The last few pages make me wonder this. If Nick quit drinking, admitted to being a retard about stuff, and got back to "old Nick" would he be redeemed or would we still cheer for him to fail? I genuinely used to semi-look up to the guy before a lot of this shit came out. I mean there was a period where he basically just talked about what it was like to be a professional, be a man, and have family/christian values and suddenly now he's an alcoholic cuck with no redeeming qualities. Strange downfall.

You can't really ever go back. At least go back to the way things used to be. But you sort of just hope for a redemption arc or to at the very least stop fucking up on a regular basis so people get bored and move onto the next person. That might be the eventual fate, but there's no telling whether that will happen in two months or two years.

destitute, poor, homeless, broken, beat-up, trooned out, raging alcoholic, crackhead, methhead, sex addict, arrested, behind bars, fucking diseased hookers, dead.

Any of those or any combination of the above.

A lolcow by definition lacks the self-awareness that they're doing retarded shit, they refuse to listen to criticism and doom themselves to keep drinking digging deeper into either irrelevancy or into a supernova. If Nick were to legitimately redeem himself and stop being a lolcow, he'd probably still get shit on for a while, though with time passing some people may decide to forgive him.

The problem is that it's far too late for that, he permanently burned bridges, coom and alcoholism permanently fried his brain to the point where attempting to get "old Nick" back (and according to him he never changed, remember that) would be like resurrecting the dead. The Eric July drama he inserted himself into where he got cozy with Juju the Cow who likes getting fucked in the ass and his pet pedophile sealed the deal.

There's no going back from associating yourself with a pedophile.

Become a normal human or die. Some people say that you can't ever go back to normal. But I disagree. You may never be normal normal but you can go about your life and grow old without making too big of a mess. A decent example might be Doug from TGWTG. He had his full on sperg time period but nowadays he just makes his shitty reviews and if people make a joke about him for the most part he is able to take it on the chin. I wonder what Jack Murphy is doing nowadays since I haven't heard anything of note about him in two years.

 

[P5Fever]

This whole thing just continues to make me feel worse for Vic Mignogna. Sure he’s autistic in gay pants but genuinely means well. Seems the guy is cursed no matter who he befriends.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

I predict he'll have some kind of come-to-Jesus moment, possibly quite literally. I think he wants to find God and personal accountability again. He can't possibly keep flailing like this. He's far smarter than Ethan Ralph.

No, he can't keep flailing like this. It can get worse.

Funny you should say that.

Though I guess it is on-brand if he still wants to still convince everybody that he's basically black.

Voyager gets yeeted to the Delta Quandrant a generation's travel away from home thereby turning a short inaugural mission to fuck up some rebel scum into a life sentence of travel through uncharted and hostile space.

Nick: "Lmao! The blackie didn't go home to his kids!" checks twitter engagement for click revenue "Based amirite?"

There was an elissa clip where Nick seemed forced to deal with the concept of defamation per se by someone in his chat. He was really not caring hard about it. He also did his usual thing now where he dealt with the situation by misrepresenting his situation and the law as it applies to him.

For example, he implies that what he said is protected speech even though it is in no legal sense protected speech. He goes on along those lines disingenuously mentioning the elements of defamation in a weasel way where he is implying that the apply to his case without saying that they apply.

He would be better able to cover up his poor knowledge of the law if he were not so thin-skinned and so willing to go after detractors even when he knows that they are right. But failure and lying is all Nick knows. Its the basis for his entire sad life.

The issue is he's talked in the past about what defamation per se is. When finally called out for it in his chat, he appeared to still understand what it meant even though he was coping about it. The question is why he pretended not to know about defamation per se for months, especially when there's been times where Nick has already seemingly signaled that the eventual fig leaf will be that Quest can't demonstrate actual malice even though it's unclear what Rekieta was even basing his statements on.

I kind of wonder whether there have been similar rants in private to his wife about how this is a totally frivolous lolsuit where he has used arguments about "no damages" and similar knowing he would never be called out for being comically wrong in his legal analysis. The problem is he can't really contradict what he's said in private on his show because even if she doesn't watch his main show ever, Kayla's YT playlist was found and IIRC it had some of Elissa's clips on it and she might find a contradiction on there.

I have a suspicion his wife, who probably is not happy that Nick managed to drink himself into a lawsuit, might insist on him settling if she understood just how fucked Nick likely is in this case. It's not even a question of winning or losing at this point, I can't even comprehend how he can really afford his current legal team all the way through discovery and trial unless his Rumble deal is nonsensically large.

His legal fees must already be multiples of what it would have cost to settle the case and unless he changes attorneys, his legal fees going through the end of a trial are going to be multiples of what has already been spent.

It's not even like Nick is being sued by someone like Ron Toye where his business might be hurt if Nick apologized for saying something negative about him. Monty is random conspiracy theorist gadfly and all he needed to do was say he got drunk and went too far and people would have forgotten about it in two days. He really is like Ralph where he is operating under pure spite and the substances have demolished any guardrails in his brain.

If Nick quit drinking, admitted to being a retard about stuff, and got back to "old Nick" would he be redeemed or would we still cheer for him to fail? I genuinely used to semi-look up to the guy before a lot of this shit came out. I mean there was a period where he basically just talked about what it was like to be a professional, be a man, and have family/christian values and suddenly now he's an alcoholic cuck with no redeeming qualities. Strange downfall.

It's over. Nick has been a full on lolcow for over a year at this point. Nick's attempts at on-air sobriety flounder when he realizes that the fans turned off by Nick going full cow have left and are not going to come back. Another similarity with Ralph.

He has already tried "pulling up" at least twice (once in January and once after his "beach out west" vacation in June) and neither attempt lasted long. Both attempts were prompted by the fact that he was spiraling throughout November-December and in May, The fact that he has been spiraling just as hard with the whole Eric July shit and is still coping about his drinking (note: back in June he at least admitted he was drinking too much on stream) is not a good sign.

 

[Harm]

If Nick quit drinking, admitted to being a retard about stuff, and got back to "old Nick" would he be redeemed or would we still cheer for him to fail?

The paradox is that for a lolcow to "get better," they almost always have to disconnect completely from their online presence and go through personal growth without their observers even being aware. If they "get better," it can't be motivated by the desire to change how they're being perceived or else they're not addressing the root of their psychological issues. Those changes will only stick so long as they're being validated. Once that slips, it's back to the bottle and back to defending pedophiles on Twitter.

It'd take stepping back, privately changing in ways people can recognize, and then reintroducing himself as a changed man, and even then he won't be able to restore his good graces with a lot of people. He's absolutely reached that point already where he is tarnished in a lot of eyes.

It reminds me of how Nick says he will never change, even if it means streaming to an audience of zero. However, I don't think he's considered that instead it's more likely he'll have an audience of hundreds to thousands watching him out of contempt a la DarkSydePhil or WingsofRedemption. A perpetual clown deluding himself into believing he actually has a very valuable legacy online and the haters are secretly truly fans.
