I think that misses the point.

And we should be a bit more sensitive to the women you follow on twitter who say #Ibelieveher, cos they do so with good reason.

i was assiduously avoiding coverage of that case, but didn't a judge previously rule that depp had been abusive?

I have been ignoring the whole thing as much as possible but I had to point that out to the kid today after i saw she was looking at something supporting Depp's "win" on youtube this morning.

If the campaign against Heard on THE SOCIALS was actually paid for they got their money's worth.

I expect he is being sensitive, that's why he's talking about it here instead of there

Having no idea of the case myself I'm quite happy to stfu and assume she's been screwed here, seeing as that's what almost has always happened in the history of forever and ever.

Herself has been following it, so I have heard some of it despite my desire not to, and I've been thinking despite also not wanting to do that either, and I have opinions.

I haven't been following it closely, it's just bleak and depressing unlike Rooney/Vardy which is very amusing and entertaining.

Based on what I know ...

He hit her.

A British court basically agreed that he did.

She wrote about being hit.

He sued her.

That's what it mostly boils down to for me.

She might be a nightmare person, and she may have also been horrible to him. If she chopped off his finger or shat in their bed then she's an arsehole.

Which isn't really related to the fundamental issue which is that she wrote an article saying that she'd been hit, and he sued her for it.

I will not be expressing this opinion on twitter because I don't want to fight with the internet's worst people.

 

[seanc]

Oh go on then, everyone else is doing an opinion so I will too.

Two rich pricks airing their dirty laundry. I think Heard misjudged it. Was she abused? Probably. Did she abuse? Probably.

It's more interesting than listening to the Jubilee stuff.

As long as they never bring their dogs back into 'stralia, I'll be happy.

You know what, I just went to read my first article on this, and in the first paragraph one of the jurors said the jury believed Depp did beat her, but didn't like that she lied about donating money. Immediately stopped reading, fuck this entire bastard of a shit show. People are terrible.

is a juror admitting that they did believe she was telling the truth (in a libel trial) but ruling against her anyway, not somewhat problematic?

In a criminal case it's what is known as jury nullification I think. Much of what I heard from the trial was about what an arsehole she was, trying to make her seem unsympathetic etc.

I'm worried about Kate Bush. Where is she?

 

[seanc]

My kitchen, making tea.

I wish she wouldn't spiral around while stirring the cup, but hey, Kate Bush.

just had a quick google of that term; seems to relate to the jury acquitting when they know the accused is guilty, does it also apply to the converse situation?

Notoriously chaotic tea maker is Kate

I got a new soldering iron/station in lidl, finally retiring the one I've been using for 15 years as it doesn't heat up fully anymore.

After 30 mins usage the tip is fucked, can't tin it, and its started to pit. bizarre carry on.

After about an hours use - ffs

So you read a single paragraph about a weeks-long court case and used that to confirm your existing opinion?

A lot of power tools 'benifit' a lot from regular breaks - they hit the market betting home mchomerson is just going to run it for 20 mins now and again and if they survive that the returns are close enough for profit. Like my cheap circular saw, i never really run it for more than 20 minutes on purpose, and then tend to run it unloaded for 20 secs or so just let it cool itself a bit. I cooked a jigsaw years ago just driving it for barely over an hour, and it was too cheap to return or care about so i soaked it up..
