It is the world we live in. This trial is going to seriously shake up America.

It shows how out of touch Time is that they aren’t picking Luigi.

No, most rational people plead not guilty and are so advised by their lawyers unless they specifically have a good deal lined up.

Ken Klippenstein is the bro and he is diligent about the trust me. This is an instance where I think it’s reasonable to “trust me bro”.

When cat photos are exchanged we all win.

Think of the savings on lead costs! That alone is worth it.

As a Canadian… try and snag us some good doctors as the American healthcare system collapses.

In theory, if this ban wasn’t happening at the last moment, it might force manufacturers to transition off of current processes and they might simply not transition back because it’d be too expensive.

Given the short time frame most of those manufacturers would probably just prefer to suspend business until Trump takes office.

Because both our political parties are pieces of shit (not equally shitty - one is clearly shittier) and neither one is motivated to actually improve the life of most Americans.

Young people can struggle with this until they realize how thoroughly fucked we all are. There’s a weird culture of height significance in dating that’s a pretty entrenched meme at this point. So it’s something there is a lot of insecurity around it.

Your view is the correct one, of course, we just need to fucking deal with what we are aka “have the grace to accept the things I cannot change”.

You’re correct and I think your original statement was pretty fair - but “All the time” and other soft indications like that - serve poorly when we’re discussing something as serious as murder. Most murders go unsolved and while a very significant number of murders are resolved if you happen to be talking to someone who has intimate knowledge of a family member or friend being murdered “all the time” is likely to come across as cavalier.

Our language gets weird around strongly emotional events (you’ll get a similar response if, at a friends’ wedding you comment “You know, most marriages end in divorce” even if it’s objectively the truth).

So written by a person with a little bit of ASD and has similarly put their foot in their mouth in the past.

I think the amount of resources expended is absolutely valid criticism. There are active kidnappings that have less mobilization than this fucking circus - there are times people are still alive and end up dead because cops couldn’t give a fucking damn… especially if we open the can of domestic abuse.

No, they fucking don’t. When I came home to a burgler actively in my fucking apartment I called 911 and the police didn’t show up for four fucking hours.

The US has absolutely awful police forces with terrible incentives.

“Appears to have been a Redditor” is such a dumbass old media statement. While I’m obviously now an enlightened Lemmy user Reddit is fucking gigantic and I too am a former Redditor.

That’s like trying to identify someone by describing them as “a former Gmail aficionado”.

Having grown up in the 90s having to endure “homo”, “gay”, and “retard” being extremely common insults can we not turn yet another way people can be different into an insult?

These two clowns’ actions give more than enough ammunition to craft a good insult without getting into appearance or wielding people’s identities as a weapon.

I’m sure the police are launching a manhunt the size of that for the Adjuster as we speak! I’m sure it wasn’t just one of the police officers while off duty.

New England in general is that way… but we keep all our crazies in NH.

Because people usually get dumber and greedier with age after ~30 or stay the same.

He, like all programmers I know, probably tried to write oligarchs and just sucks at spelling.

Thanks for saving me embarrassment spell checker!
