That was just a bit of snarky commentary, no need to read into it.
Dark matter fits what we observe the best out of all of our models, but we’ve never observed it despite the many massive detection chambers we’ve built or probes we’ve sent out.
Might work for some countries, but the problem is that schools in the USA completely lack centralization: each school district is its own separate governing body. Jason was taught that Pilgrims to America were persecuted Christians seeking adventure and made treaties with Natives, while Derek was taught about socioeconomic nuances of 17th-19th Europe leading to incentivized settlements particularly attractive to hardcore religious extremists who then waged relentless war on the Native Americans.
There are no Universal Lies that everybody was taught, except for Dark Matter.
“Leaning inappropriate”. And it was through Twitch’s message system. Also no confirmation on a meetup, that is hearsay, but hypothetically if Doc said he would be at a convention in character that itself isn’t a red flag. Markiplier meets kids at conventions all the time, gets autograph lines out the doors.
Twitch already “did nothing”. The supposed chat logs were from 3 years before his ban.
But rumours are just that, at the end of the day.
The fuck? Where did I defend him?
I’m just dismissing delusions and mass hysteria by presenting what we do know versus what we don’t. I don’t NEED access to what was said, my entire statement is that we don’t know what was said.
If you’re a 40 y/o entertainer using your exclusive platform’s built in chat to engage with your fans and audience without a filter, you haven’t done anything wrong. What do you call inappropriate? Using the word ass, either figuratively or literally? Talking about hemorrhoids? Religion? Marijuana? There really is no information to work with here, and Doc couldn’t provide it even if he wanted to.
I would be very surprised if an 3 year statute of limitations were somehow involved in all of this. And I’m not defending the Doc’s actions or statements, I AM saying “we don’t know.” Because we don’t.
It doesn’t seem like such a large gap or grey area to me. You can tell a woman “Nice T-Shirt” and that is fine but “Nice Tits” is not fine, it’s a pretty clear division to me. What could the Doc say that would qualify him as the monster people are calling him but also not illegal?
They attempted to not pay out his contract btw. He had to sue them to get that, and they payed it out. If they had evidence of such behavior from him then I’m sure courts would agree that his own actions destroying his own public image would have been more than enough reason to cancel the contract.
I’m not defending any potential actions he took, but:
There are laws about sexting minors, so if he had done that then he would have broken it and they would have plenty of evidence of that.
If nobody above 18 is morally justified to be in a chat with anybody under 18 then we’ve got some serious societal level issues to fix.
EDIT: And btw they tried to get out of paying him 20M, but realized they had no grounds to do so when he started his lawsuit. They had incentive, here. They wanted to not pay him.
He never tweeted that he “sexted a minor.”
Link to HIS TWEET
“These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.”
Now, I personally pretty regularly say a lot of shit that can be considered “inappropriate,” but that does not equate to sexual on its own. I’m interested in seeing how this story develops, but it seems most people have already made up their minds and branded him a criminal.
I am willing to believe the accusations, but I won’t take the word of people who tried to weasel out of his contract termination fees.
If they had evidence of sexting in 2017 then why didn’t they report it to the police? Why quietly ban him in 2020?
Seems to me like they had monetary incentive to remove the Doc.
I thought Zuniga was a part of the white supremacy faction in Bollivia but I’m not finding any connections with a search engine. Looks like Juan Jose Zuniga was accused of embezzling ~400,000 USD worth of public funds and was part of a group, Pachajchos, who watched over coca production and monitored politics. Morales accused the group of trying to assassinate him.
On the flip side, Morales was and may still be seeking a 4th or 5th term as president, he was ousted in 2019 and replaced by democratically elected Arce. So being opposed to Morales doesn’t seem like a bad thing on its own. Zuniga claims that a group of elites were destroying the nature and taking everything for themselves.
My best educated guess is that Zuniga is an opportunist who saw a fractured federal entity and wanted to wedge himself in the gap as its new leader, no matter how many lives he would need to throw on the fire in order to do so.
To remove all of the nuance: The democratically elected president survived an attempted overthrow from the military. He did so by:
Replacing three military branch leaders who then ordered the military personnel to return to their barracks and stations.
Reaching out to the citizens, who reacted quickly and without any signs of weakness to form mobs who surrounded and shouted at troops belonging to the coup.
The timeline was something like: Coup begins quietly, Coup leader Zuniga claimed to be “trying to restore democracy” at 2:47 AM, and Zuniga was arrested at 5:08 AM for the crime.
Then don’t sexually text any minors. Very simple. Now that I’ve helped you sort out your odd unrelated moral dilema, do you have anything to say about the Doc?
I haven’t defended him, I’ve consistently said he might have committed a crime, though that would be unlikely given it was 7 years ago.
Labeling everyone you don’t like as a pedophile isn’t a good look.
You’re making your heart work harder. You also need to rest harder as a result, to avoid accumulating damage. There is a lot of interpersonal variance, though, with different bodies and genetics.
300mg is a lot of caffeine, mind you.
Caffeine is fine as long as you stretch often to keep arteries open, and sleep 12 hours a day.
TBH with how Obama treated Netanyahu versus Trump admin backing single state solution: I bet the war on the Gaza Strip wouldn’t be happening, either. Not at the same scale, at least.
