Re: Ohio man, 81, fatally shoots Uber driver, 61, after scammers target both of them

Anyone can be scammed. In fact, the easiest people to scam are those who think they would never fall for a scam. Scammers prey on the way our brains work -- normal brain functions and biases. The grandparent scam is a particularly pernicious scam. The scammer starts the conversation with "hello gran...

Re: The Trump Criminal Case MEGATHREAD.

Looks like he violated his gag order tonight on his social media. If he's not trying to get himself fined and then possibly put in jail in the future, then he's just too stupid not to throw a fit in public. We'll see how the judge responds. From the thing Res posted upthread, it looks like the fine...

If you want your own megathread, you could just start one. 8-)

Re: It’s really easy if you stick with telling the truth

As this issue has legal ramifications, I'd really appreciate input from the other lawyers on the board and anyone else who has followed this issue in terms of my reading of the law. These issues are out of my area legally, but, I will look at Section 230 and commentary and then chime in if the issu...

Re: Confused Missionary Numbers

The Church News article never made sense to me. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019 and early 2020, the Church counted some 69,000 young teaching and service missionaries and senior missionaries. The pandemic resulted in international closures and restriction and the resulting return ...

Re: It’s really easy if you stick with telling the truth

I think the combination of the gravity of the claims combined with the refusal to provide facts likely generates a feeling of discomfort for all of us. In a way, it functions like gaslighting. Maybe whatever our opinions are of Dehlin and the Open Stories Foundation are wildly wrong and Dehlin is S...

Re: It’s really easy if you stick with telling the truth

Listen, if Rosebud were posting on a variety of topics, then NBD. It’s the one-note posters who spam the board occasionally like the few that have a megathread dedicated to them. If Rosebud were suddenly to start posting on whatever topic in whatever forum(s) then cool, she’s engaging with the inte...

Re: It’s really easy if you stick with telling the truth

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects the board, it owner, the site host, etc. from liability. It does not protect the individual who posts defamatory material. Responding to discovery requests would be a hassle, but that's about it. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R4...
