I see that you make pool cue parts. Ive actually checked out your website before looking for parts. I didnt find what i needed, and i made it myself, and it worked great.
Maybe i’ll look into making stuff like that, myself, as well. probably be cheaper for folks to get it in america.
I've loved pool since I was 5 years old. My dad was a good player and got me hooked early on. (I sure do miss him) I love everything about this entire culture....beautiful cues, great competition, pro tournaments, action, zany characters, dramatic events, playing good (those days when you can't miss and have the cue ball on a string), and playing bad (when you need to work on something). What is better?
When you are feeling low, the wife left you, the boss yelled at you, the dog bit you....just go to the pool room, screw together your favorite two piece, and ask the closest person "Wanna play some?"
Defamation is a complicated area of law when someone makes a false statement about you—verbally or in writing—that damages your reputation. Verbal defamation is called "slander." Written defamation is called "libel." Online defamation happens on various platforms, including Facebook.
Public figures, like politicians and celebrities, have to show more than negligence. Public figures have to show that the defendant acted with "actual malice." Actual malice means the defendant made a false statement knowing it was false or with reckless disregard for the truth of the statement. Many defendants argue that what they said about the plaintiff wasn't defamatory because it was true or that it was an opinion and not a fact.
Libel on Facebook in an international context presents complex legal challenges concerning jurisdiction, applicable laws, platform responsibility, and the balancing of free speech with reputation protection. The only one who wins usually in defamation cases is usually the lawyers.
I watched a Window's Open podcast yesterday with Molina Mike and Mike Panozzo on this topic, and I agree with Mike Panozzo, it is "lemmings." [Nota Bene: I had to look up the meaning of "lemmings."]
I also agree with Molina Mike: "Pool players don't necessarily know how to handle themselves on social media, like it's a brand-new world, you know, and the way that they can kind of shoot themselves in the foot, at times, more often than not"—[reminding me (JAM) of Joshua Filler]—"becomes a little cringy and a little awkward. And then it just becomes a little like, oh, man, I don't think you realize, like, in the bigger picture of things, what's going to be affected by it, you know?"
Any ol timers out there remember the poolrooms next door to each other Joes & Chinos @ 12th & Broadway with Doggie diner on the corner. I have fond memories as a 18 yr old young player with all the characters including oakland hells angels watchin me play & Jap Joe presiding in all his zen like demeaner @ Chinos. A real cast of characters & great part of oakland to hang out.
