rules aren’t there to be enforced, they’re there so that when you break them you take a second to think about why.

yeah, PascalCase is the worst

keep assuming legalization will lead to disaster no matter how many times it doesn’t

okay but the statement he made fits into a societal context such that the overall message being sent by a group of people that have Oktoberfest but make cannabis illegal is absolutely “cannabis bad, alcohol good”.

are you rich?

puts me in mind of the old guru meditation error messages that popped up in the stone knives and bearskins era of computing.

it’s okay if my family members die shortly after becoming king of england

for this guy, who leeches off the work of real human beings and hides child rapists from justice? absolutely, my hate for him is a source of strength and pride, I’m glad to have it on display.

in 2021 my job was “informing, not asking”. a bunch of us walked, and it crippled the OU. They actually shut it down not long ago, they decided to keep a skeleton crew on to keep the app running while the contracts run out, then they’re gonna sunset it

This bill violates the president’s first amendment right to free speech because forcing him to do it is tantamount to forcing him to say he’s okay with doing it.

Why is it anyone else’s right to take your right to smoking away?

because he had to show everyone that he was in charge

That’s exactly it. Darnella Frazier challenged him, simply by being there with a camera. The implication of the camera was “what you’re doing is wrong, and I intend to expose you”. Chauvin responded to that challenge. His actions essentially said “I decide what’s right and what’s wrong. I’m going to kill this man in front of you, to show you that I can. I’m going to get away with it. If you try to stop me, I’ll kill you too.”

That’s why he stayed on Floyd’s neck for two whole minutes after Floyd went limp. It was about showing everyone that he is in charge, that people die when they don’t do what he wants. George Floyd was Chauvin’s 4th murder, he had every reason to believe he’d get away with this one too and before we all saw the video he went straight to the playbook that helped him get away with the other three. Without Frazier’s video, Floyd would have been exactly what Chauvin said he was: a counterfeiter who died of an overdose while in custody. Before Floyd, Chauvin had pistol whipped a domestic violence suspect and then claimed that suspect reached for his gun, had shot another suspect after witnesses said that suspect had dropped his gun and put his hands in the air, and beat an unarmed 14 year old boy across the back of the head with a mag lite so badly that boy required stitches. He liked to make money off duty acting as a bouncer and the club owners that hired him said he did things like pepper spray the entire crowd in response to a fight breaking out.

Derek Chauvin is a monster who only knows violence. If he ever gets out of prison, he will kill again. Killing is what he does.

of course they did, the penalty for getting caught destroying evidence is far, far less than the penalty for the price fixing they’re accused of. the law is designed to incentivize them to do this.

we could make it so that the penalty for destroying evidence in a court case once its been subpoenaed is twice the penalty of the original case, but we don’t. we could make CEOs responsible for the actions of their employees (after all, they’re quick to claim responsibility for the actions of their employees when those actions generate money), but we don’t.
