They seemed to find it okay enough to do nothing about it for 10-15 years.

I live north of pitt, sorry I missed it. Were you at the improv at the water front?

A lot of the shit that Vic was fired over was stuff from over 10 years ago. Over a decade ago this would have just been viewed as some funny shit they'd play at a con like the Thundercats bloopers. With the metoo movement, lgbtq, Vic drama I doubt it'll just be accept as a product of it's time, or that voice actors and people have fun which isn't always in tune with today's outrage culture.

In PA it's 12k as the max for small claims. They're slum lords that rent places. So they want the place done quickly so they can start renting it out, and they can't rent it out if it's not finished. The wife is white, the husband is Indian with a thick accent. I even cut them a deal because the wife works with my brother at HR Block. I don't know if my brother was telling them dumb shit that had nothing to do with the contract they signed, he said he didn't. However got pissy with me that I took them to court, I was like motherfucker you go a month without getting paid, I got bills. He was just whatever about it after that, seemed more annoyed that this caused him inconvenience. Some people just go insane when they remodel. My friends parents neighbor just went insane a month ago over remodeling a kitchen. The people working on it were laying the tile she picked out, then she said she wanted to change the tile to a more expensive one for the same price as the cheap tile; and they were like that isn't happening you'd have to pay full price for new tile, and they already had the tile she picked out and were laying it. She went nuts and over a couple of weeks got arrested for threatening people. Then when she got out she got her husband arrested because she said he hit her. My dads GF was selling her house and we had to remodel some stuff and was acting like a nut. Remodeling I think does something for anxiety and just makes people lose sense of rational thought.

This happy duck

I don't have to pay them anything, we're going to court so I can get paid, but they're being idiots and saying that they're going to counter sue and I'll pay them. They wanted their basement, dining room, living room, halls, bathrooms, and upstairs drywalled Had to do some demo in pulling out old drywall and insulation, Hanging and finishing drywall and painting. Pretty much they're trying to renegotiate on an agreement they've already signed. Then they're saying that they shouldn't be responsible for paying for materials, and I don't know how or why they thought that, so they want me to not be paid for the 3 weeks of labor in 90-100 degree weather, reimburse them for the materials, and pay them for not finishing a job that they weren't paying me for. I don't know if they think they're being slick and can get out of it, or if they're just that dumb; but it's not the first time I've been to small claims over junk like this and it probably won't be the last. Usually when I'm in court it's over the dumbest things that really shouldn't ever have to be in court.

Yeah she was Judge tananbaum. It is rare, as usually there isn't a judge. However last week and a couple of other times I've seen judges present. Right now I'm dealing with someone who doesn't want to pay construction fees. They're 3 weeks behind, so I had to tell them that I can't continue this unless they pay me for at least one week as to our agreement etc. Their argument is that they shouldn't have to pay me despite signing a contract, and if I don't finish then I have to pay them ontop of my labor I've already done, materials etc. Needless to say we did this and the court date is at the end august. Unrelated. Yeah I can't say that I'm fully brushed up on TX rules. From what I understood on objections was that you could object for a multiple of reasons. A judge can approve or deny any objections though. Things that can be objected would be hypothetical scenarios not presented by an expert, leading questions, relevance etc.

I've had them in some of the ones I've been involved with. I was in one last week where the judge told us we could ask for breaks. Then again small claims can be far different than a larger case like this. It's odd but that's how it is. Pretty much the court can't say how good your memory is or what you choose to remember, it's a person to person basis. It makes it so that you have to rely more on concrete evidence that you can physically see and show to the court.

Shot with 12ga pellets in the belly and thigh. Vision went upside down, tasted the color purple in my mouth, vision went weird like everything flipped upside down and the sky turned green. Then it just felt like a super bad cramp. The worst though was recovery, pretty much had to get cut in half to get rid of the bad skin had 3 hernias repaired, and no longer have a belly button. The recovery was the worst pain in my life. Any movement was agony, could barely eat aside from a small amount of liquids for a month. Slept through my meds once and woke up in searing pain. Going to the bathroom was a nightmare, especially having to wipe. Would have these plastic bulbs on my sides that would fill up with fluid and blood that I'd have to empty multiple times a day. I'd have nightmares where I'd be changing my bandages and there would be flies and maggots in the wound.

I've been to court multiple times, some of the time it's a really informal table session when you're going over things. It can sometimes be a good or bad thing depending on the person. You just have to remember that you are working on your case the whole time and not to say anything dumb. The casual nature tends to make people slip up. Usually they're testing for credibility. If you make your case sound more dire than it really is that can be held against you, like over exaggerating or even underselling. I do believe that Vic defiantly will raise some credibility concerns in his refusal to accept his celebrity status. Youtube personalities are considered celebrity for far less. I'd believe though that he can't recall names or reports people have done on him. Hell some people in this thread I've talked to for over a decade and they don't remember me. There are people in real life and online who I can't personally remember. I even helped write an article for Evangelion 2.22 when it came out for otaku usa, and couldn't tell you exactly what it says from memory. As for answers like "i don't recall". Those are actually considered good answers by attorneys. From speaking with my attorney a non answer is usually preferred over sitting there and holding up proceedings. These things are appointments and Judges hate it when they go over because it backs them up. As for money figures he was very ill-prepared. Even in small claims you can bring some cheat sheets in with you that have figures, names, dates etc on them. I don't know if that is all on him or if Beard was horrible at preparing him for what questions he would most likely be asked, and how to go about answering them, ontop of bringing some documents. For his million it would be salary x years left till retirement, and for cons it would be going back the last decade gathering the money made, and going by the average to figure out what you would make for the next 10 years or so. If he made between 7k and 12k then it would be 9.5k x 10 = 95k. Most likely though no VA is going to do that because they're probably only reporting what the Con is paying them and not all the under the table cash that they'd get from signing stuff merch etc. So if they're only reporting so much in taxes then they really wouldn't want to bring that up, and risk catching the IRS attention. Really just going to have to see how things progress.

You can't clarify. If you try to clarify it is objected as a non-responsive answer. You're only options are yes, no, not to my knowledge, to the best of my memory yes/no etc. There are a few times where they called Objection Non-Responsive on Vic for trying to clarify. I think it's sad that the attorney is trying to paint fans who aren't involved in this as a neo nazi group. Vic even says that they're kids and they didn't mean anything harmful by it; and it gets objected non-responsive. Then he was saying that Vic should have had full control over what this fan group was saying about him and told them to stop, and that he is responsible for it....unlike how Funimation can shirk responsibility for things that their freelance workers say on social media while currently under contract.

Some of it could be viewed as harming to the co-defendants defense, which is how I view it. They also pointed out that Vic was telling people online to knock their shit off, and felt that their co-defendants allegation of malicious online harassment should be dropped; and posted evidence of Vic 's tweet telling people to knock their shit off. That is 100% throwing them under the bus. They had no reason to state that, nor any grounds to request their co-defendants counter claims be dropped. I see that move in two ways. 1 thrown under the bus in the hopes that Vic will just drop the charges against Funi since this would help his case against who I assume his real targets are. 2 Funi actually views the co-defendants social media blow ups as more harming to themselves than harmful to Vic. Then again I could just be overthinking it. Either way Ron should request that be redacted from the record if they plan to use that as part of their counter claim.

Possibly didn't know that there were that many damn edits for that.

I'd like to see this series get a spin-off where tatsumi joins the military and doesn't team up with night raid. Though I think the mangaka kinda messed up Esdeath's character some. She was supposed to be all about alpha pack leader Darwinism. When Tatsumi was talking about overthrowing the govt you'd think she'd be all about that ambition with the idea of her and him being the new king and queen. Instead she slapped him and told him to stop thinking like that.

From the side by side comparison I watched they run at the same time. The edit just zooms in and cuts away at times. Like when the girls are being stripped it zooms in on their faces so you can't see their clothes being torn. The guy licking them is panned upward so you cant see him licking their stomachs. A scene where he punches one of the girls in the face is quickly cut away, etc. The edits do nothing for time constraints.

It's going to be butchered . Even with an MAS rating they still edited the SAO rape scene.

So funimation has a 168 page document to dismiss the case against them. What I'm taking from it is that Funimation is saying that Vic is a public figure which ignores your public expectation of privacy. They also throw Monica, Jamie, Ron and the gang under the bus to separate their cases. Making it very clear that these are all separate social media accounts and they are not responsible for what their co-defendants say. Their argument is for Vic to prove that Funimation has acted with malice. They are also calling for Monica and Jamie's to have their social media harassment charges be dismissed. This is very much throwing the others under the bus and almost exactly what I said they'd pull. They further emphasis that neither the co-defendants nor Vic are employees or agents of funimation and are Independent contractors; absolving funimation of any libel. They go on to say that Funimation has no right to control any of their co-defendants alleged conduct nor their social media. I can see this being brought up against them. It's pretty much saying that they wouldn't do anything to police their freelance workers; when case in point they did that to Vic. They continue to emphasis that their co-defendants were operating outside of their scope and relationship with funimation. Once again same can be said with what Vic was accused of. First part of the evidence they have deposition of Karin Mika. this goes over a lot of what we already know of the investigation run by sony. What is interesting is her wording was that she had informed Vic that they were terminating his contract. This is different from what we have been told up till now. Everything I have seen prior to this said that he wasn't in the employ of funimation, and that they simply chose not to hire him in the future. Him being under contract and terminated does give him a wrongful termination case if what Mika's saying is accurate. She then goes on to say that Funimation is not responsible for their co-defendants. Then there's over 150 pages of articles from twitter, polygon, ANN etc as their evidence. From what I can tell from that is that they're just trying to prove he's a celebrity and not a citizen, which removes expectation of privacy, and helps cover their backs. Some of the articles though are actually from well before all this happened and speak rather positively of Vic. Still it's odd seeing shit like memes and twitter comments about yaoi in a court document. All in all they don't care about their co-defendants and are doing what they can to get out, like I said. They may very well have the case against them dropped by the judge. However that also might not happen because they talked themselves in circles and contradicted their point a few times https://www.scribd.com/document/415375645/Funimation-s-TCPA-Motion-to-Dismiss

dubbed, streaming, youtube God this would trigger /a/

I felt the movie wasn't good, but maybe because I don't care for Nagato as a character. I think the show is entertaining, and it has some importance for the time it came out. It very much trend-set the style that many anime would follow; much like how many anime emulated Gundam or Evangelion's animation style. I wouldn't call it overrated because a lot of the fan-hype for it has died out. Still I do remember all of the hype around it back in 06 to 08 and the anime cons etc.

I think his strategy with funi was maybe Sony will pay me some fuck you money to not go to court. The way freelance work goes I don't get what he planned to gain from it, but you don't hit any balls you don't swing at I suppose. I'll agree that I can see him suing Monica and the others as more of a revenge thing. Suing them won't really do anything for him. He'll still be black balled in the voice acting world. I can see it as a way to humiliate someone, which could be worth more to him than a financial gain. I'm not in his head so I can't say, but that is a possibility. He could also just be trying to clear his name; however I don't think that this case will help with that. I mean it sure didn't help OJ. The mass majority have already made up their minds. Monica and the gang getting a guilty or not guilty isn't going to sway the masses.

2014 was around the time that localization was becoming a hot button topic. Subs fans namely don't like Funimation. Reason being is that they heavily localize the subs as well. So if they localize a character to say "Yo that's Wack" then the subs are going to say it as well. This ruins what people consider to be the integrity of the message. Funimation isn't alone in this as ADV did this as well with Eva. One scene that stands out has Shinji saying "Father did that" in Japanese, however in English he says "Bullshit! My Father Did that?". So if you asked people at the time many would say that localization is a bad thing not understanding entirely what they were saying themselves. In truth Japanese is so different you pretty much have to rewrite a whole sentence that has a similar meaning; few things will ever just transfer over like it would with german or spainish to english. Like saying something as simple as "I'm going out to the store" would be closer to "Going to Store" in Japanese. It's a context based language so you wouldn't use the word I or I'm, as the person you're talking with would understand the context that you're leaving. You don't have to say out; because that is just unnecessary to say, we know the store is out. However in English that doesn't sound right. It's almost impossible to express meaning in English without pronouns and adjectives.

Just make sure to ground yourself with some copper, and don't have any pets around while you do this. Pet hair can really screw shit up.
