Go To

I just discovered this person on YouTube, member name is LegalEagle (real first name is Devin) who is a real life lawyer, and has been doing videos discussing the accuracies (or mistakes) TV shows or movies make when featuring real legal matters.

He already has many videos up, but this video is a good starting point, where he discusses the infamous series finale to Seinfeld.


Mod Note

There is a forum-wide ban on discussing US politics, which remains in place as long at the dedicated US Politics thread is locked.

If a new episode goes back onto that subject (or any of the other banned topics) then you are not allowed to discuss it. You can discuss any video about anything else, just not related to US politics.

If this becomes a problem, posts will be thumped and there may be further consequences.

We've already had to lock this thread once. If we have to lock it again, it's likely to remain locked for a very long time — and may not get unlocked at all. We'd really like to avoid that.

[up][up] Honestly, him using the word "conspire" to describe what people on Reddit have been doing really rubs me the wrong way.

Nobody's conspired to do anything. People saw stock they thought would be worth buying and publicly shared the information, so other people looked at it, came to the same conclusion and also started buying.

The problem is it wasn’t actually ’worth’ buying by anyone on either side. The company wasn’t set to make money for another 3 years.

The people shorting it expected to make money by selling stock they didn't have, buying it at a lower price later, and giving it back to who they borrowed it from.

The people on Reddit buying, well, originally it had an element of "there's too many shorts out there right now so if people who own it just refuse to sell it, they can drive up the price for desperate shorters" but now it's become a lot more "never sell, let the hedge funds burn".

LE discusses the huge Billion dollar defamation suits coming out recently. The suit itself also starts really sassy for an official law suit.

Matt Gaetz... Ew.

There's not a lot that's funny about Matt Gaetz's whole implosion, but I like that like, immediately before it got rolling, he apparently made a joke on Twitter about "if I had a scandal about me, I'd want it to be called Gaetzgate"

“King of Karens” is such a great way to describe Carlson.

Is it incitement to kidnapping and assault if someone were to suggest someone strap Tucker Carlson to a board and put a light cotton mask over his face?

[up] Yes. But it would be very hard to prove intent on a forum thread like this.

Heh, I thought that his call to report to the police might be considered a crime. Making a false report, I was right!

I think Tucker Carlson is a robot programmed to get mad and yell at random things.
