Just take a look if you can bear the exceptionalism he entertains. He certainly isn't smart but there is definitely a pattern I'm starting to see especially considering his obsession with social media. He sure does say a lot without conveying much at all.

Don't have anything better to do, so I might as well when I feel like not wasting my time with whatever crap I feel like doing this week.

Hold up, did Greg actually write a book about Ty? That's just...sad. Part of me wants Ty to sue his ass just so he could get an ass whipping in court, but I already know that's a significant financial loss for Ty because Greg doesn't even have a damn dime. And probably a large debt.

Anyways, we are looking at all these lawyers riding on a train that's about to be driven off a cliff. Most of us are saying to stop the train by settling and you got Greg over there saying "It will be fine" and to walk it off. Pretty much everyone should want to strangle Marchi for taking a victory and turning it into a lose-lose situation. Good job. Well at least October will be interesting.

 

[Padoru]

Sorry for the messed up post.

According to Marchi, judge said everything against her is dismissed.

Then why is she required to attend?

Archive site is shitting itself again.

possible reasons i can think of:

He wants her to get ahead of a DEFINITE appeal by telling her and Vic to figure this shit out.
She's lying.
Chupp is stupid.
Chupp is lying to her and he's not dismissing some of the stuff but i'm preeeeeetty sure this last one isn't it because that sounds like something really problematic to do as a judge

Jamie pretended not to have any knowledge of the court papers she got stapled to her door, and also pretended that Vic ever had any sexual interest in her. She's completely untrustworthy.

It isn't like she hasn't lied before...
She's telling the whole truth. She's gotta be. Her hair was violated and she has the scars to prove it!
Oh wait...

"If you told me that in order to prevent all of this, I had to have sex with Jamie Marchi, I would have killed myself like you wanted instead."

that's precisely why her lying is even one of the options i listed while Chupp lying is the only one i do not find realistic

He's the one to watch out for because he was the one who inserted himself after another sociopathic dickhead like him tipped him off. Before that he was a nobody.

Nick on the other hand has been doing his thing for a while. Sure the case brought a lot of people to him but he has history and has stayed consistent. He also is a decent person outside of this and his interactions with others when amicable are friendly and warm.

Greg seems to think he's better than everyone else--including lawyers working the case on the side he supposedly supports.

If he was so sure of himself he should take the Texas bar and actually put his money where his mouth is just like he said he would in the GFM he did for that, but in the event that he failed there would be a great deal of faith lost in him.

So he makes armchair rulings because he can manipulate easier that way. He doesn't get his hands dirty. If something goes wrong, he can pretend that he knows why and talk his way out of it because he suffers no repercussions by sitting back and he can continue to pull the strings.

Late and gay but...
I've not seen all the Dutch guy's communications, but I have to say I do agree with him saying the ones I saw are no threat.
There is an important distinction to be made between "When justice fails the people, the people will fail justice" and "Justice failed the people, therefore I will fail justice".

8000 tweets in one month, thats like 258 tweets a day. Holy shit.

8000 tweets a month?
Calculations say that, compared to a full time job duration, it's almost 1 tweet per minute.
T Greg's twitter sperging is a fucking full time job...

Pick one for Christ's sake, these are countries, not states.

This is not how Europe works.
European coutries are more the same as USA states than the whole country. It's more the European Union that would be the equivalent of the USA.
Moving from one country to another inside the EU is quite similar to moving from one state to another in the USA.

Anyone willing to tell me what happened today? My shitty internet made it hard to watch the livestream.

One thing to keep in mind is that retweets count towards that number. 8k is still a fuck of a lot, but its not him writing 160 character posts each time.

Chupp asked all the parties (including Marchi) to sort it out throught mediation before October the 3rd.
And now we're trying to guess the implications of that move.

While possible, when was the last time Adult Swim/Toonami (let's be honest, if RWBY ends up on cable television, its probably going to the Toonami block) produced a non-comedic action show entirely on their own? The Big O? And despite that show being profitable, or at least breaking even, Cartoon Network didn't renew it for a third season. If RWBY does move to cable television, chances are they would have to reboot it from scratch and switch from low quality 3D animation to the 2D animation that Cartoon Network uses, probably animated by a Japanese studio, like they did with IGPX and The Big O, and that will be more expensive.

Oh god... We will witness a CalArt version of RWBY, won't we? Why? Just why?

What is really up with this case...

Now the judge seem to do some kind of power move which doesnt explain shit, and seem to make a bigger mess than is really needed, im dumbfounded, on the other hand I'm learning that law is hell, and now understand why lawschool is so freaking expensive.

How does this keep happening?

Isn’t this like the second or third time this case had some weird coincidence about something related to Vic in the past?
I mean that West Nile Mosquito song of Vic’s from like a decade ago is one hell of a hard coincidence to top but this is a close second.

It’s called retroactive foreshadowing, I bet the writer is wanking himself over how clever he was for tying irrelevant old details to irrelevant new details to absolutely blow viewers’ minds.

Chupp wants to go back to his scotch. And he wants these people to go away.

Yeah, this is odd. It’s like more things in this are an act of God than anything else.

 

[theworstkindofeurofag]

So, let's pretend Marchi's telling the truth about talking to Chupp. Would that even be ethical? A judge telling a defendant: "Don't worry sweetie, everything's dismissed for you anyway." ?

Also the "death threat" thing. Marchi apparently showed these "threats" to the judge. Again, ethical? Not to mention that the person who made these "threats" was some complete random spergy troll who wasn't even a Vic supporter, as others have pointed out.

Since we're on the topic of threats, is it okay for Ty to show these threats to the judge?

Then he could show this tweet to him.

guess you could argue Marchi is fine with threats being made towards Vic. I mean, she did already threaten him after all.

yeah, I know those aren't actual threats, but neither was the tweet to the judge. You get the idea. The hypocrisy is astounding me once more.

hope it uploads this time

 

[Ivan Shatov]

Sorry for the messed up post.

According to Marchi, judge said everything against her is dismissed.

Then why is she required to attend?

Jamie is required to attend mediation because she is still in legal jeopardy. The Judge was wise and humane including her in this order.

There are problems with the TCPA hearing that will likely be appealed. Appeals are expensive, take time, and present a burden to all parties.

One possible outcome of mediation is an agreement not to appeal. For Jamie, an appeal would be worse than if the causes were allowed to move forward.

On the one hand, there is a very real possibility an Appeals Court decides the Judge ruled in error. That would put her on the hook for all her original legal bills plus the cost of the appeals plus the cost to litigate. Her lawyer has been angling for a clean exit and an agreement would be an opportunity for exactly that.

On the other hand, appeals are very boring for the parties. All you do is write checks to lawyers while they argue about the nuances of law. Any time you ask your lawyer for a status, they give you a 30 minute speech and bill you for the time. There's this unpleasant sense of entropy that sets in where you feel like your life and future are purely in someone else's hands.

While this might sound cruel, psychology doesn't favor Jamie in an extended legal battle. She's old and getting older, her looks have faded, her personal means are modest, and her best days as a VA are behind her. Competition from younger talent means, at some point, she's sidelined to supporting roles. She may pursue writing and directing opportunities, but those are, again, are subject to competition. New corporate overlords mean she's not going to have some of the allies she's had in the past and one failure could put her out of the industry.

What Jamie has to gain from this lawsuit is feminist empowerment with limited upside. She doesn't have the personal cachet to sell a book about her life story and the Dallas Morning News doesn't pay for talking to their reporters. Plus there are still other parties to the case who may have an incentive to turn on her in a non-legal sense, which could cost her even a moral victory. She'd do well knowing what's on their minds.

This order for mediation would be a good time for a cost benefit comparison. The Judge didn't have to include her in the order, it really speaks to a kind of graciousness that he did. Maybe this gets her to think about her future a little bit and make some better decisions.

She most likely won't, but it is possible.
