  1. MO Governor Rains Affluenza Down On Justice

    Anyone notice he has priors? Article mentions that he "pleaded guilty to simple assault and flashing a gun at another driver in a road rage incident in 2007." Drew a gun during a road rage incident. Hmm. And: While in prison, 'he also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence...
  2. News NYC, it's school system, and the public hospital system come together and sue Social Media giants.

    Not sure who you are disagreeing with here, as I already said this is on the parents. It's also a wider problem than just kids. The problem is a lack of critical thinking. Including the fact that we don't teach it in our schools and we tend not to practice it as adults. There is no way to...
  3. News NYC, it's school system, and the public hospital system come together and sue Social Media giants.

    It's the same in terms of the "addiction" aspect. It isn't the same in terms of the harm which may be caused by the content. The problem is the OP article muddles and conflates the two, which is why I thought they should be addressed separately. It's "addictiveness" isn't really the point as...
  4. News NYC, it's school system, and the public hospital system come together and sue Social Media giants.

    Not sure what you mean by "purposefully making content addicting." That is exactly what video game studios do. If it isn't "addicting," it doesn't sell. So far as purposefully making content that harms children, in the context of social media it is users who are doing that, not the platform...
  5. News NYC, it's school system, and the public hospital system come together and sue Social Media giants.

    If the issue is something being addictive to minors and taking up too much of their time, they may as well sue video game companies, as well as the television industry. Not to mention all the manufacturers of smart phones. If the issue is the content of social media, I agree it's harmful...
  6. Incomprehensible mass shooting happens again

    Ah, OK. It just seemed odd to me since the only mass shooting I can recall with more than one shooter was Columbine, which had two. If this was a dispute among several people with guns, then, wow. Just wow. Is there a better argument for why people shouldn't be carrying them around?
  7. Incomprehensible mass shooting happens again

    Three people have been detained. If it's really three people, this isn't likely a nutter and more likely a terrorist attack. Meaning political motives.
  8. Getty Road's Megathread

    I think the problem is with the terminology. Liberals used to say that minorities were disadvantaged. Now they say that whites are privileged. In case nobody noticed, those two formulations of words actually mean the same thing as not having a disadvantage that others have could be termed a...
  9. NY-03 Special Election (Santos)

    At 69% reporting, it's Suozzi by 11 points. So much for how the media was pitching this as a tight race.
  10. “Project 2025”: Conservative master plan to end democracy?

    Yes, and he also inverted the meaning of that particular piece of dialogue by failing to mention that the Maximus' response was "Would you, Quintus? Would I?" Meaning that any proud people would never consider themselves conquered, directly contrary to Gothuevos' defeatism. Why he thinks...
  11. Oops! Biden's turn in the Classified Documents barrel.

    Can't read it at the moment because I'm beyond my NYT article limit, which is like 1 per month these days. But I can well believe the narrative you describe. Police have a culture of impunity. Anyway, I agree that police unions are full of shit when it comes to the danger of policing. But...
  12. Oops! Biden's turn in the Classified Documents barrel.

    Some statistics: In 2022, 226 police died in the line of duty, out of about ~650,000 police. That was a bit of a up year for police deaths, as the average is 14 per 100K per year...
  13. Discussion 2024 USA Election Thread: Biden and Dems might have problems in 2024 swing states - The Gaza Issue

    No reason for a high turnout in what essentially amounts to an uncontested primary. No one cares.
  14. Crazy right wing nut job decapitates his dad and posts video

    That would be this woman here.
  15. What's a right?

    The liberty interest described in the 5a and 14A means they can't throw you in jail without a trial. It's never been interpreted as a broad right to do whatever you want. Remember all those guys who were claiming they had a Constitutional right to not wear a mask during COVID? That's what...
  16. Trump White House likely filled with addicts

    Right is mathematically relative. He voted for Trump the first two times. Not voting is statistically better than that. And given that the expectation is that 95%+ of former Trump voters will vote for him again, I count it as a win. Frankly, I was surprised to hear he isn't going to vote for...
  17. Trump White House likely filled with addicts

    I not concerned about him doing the right thing for the right reason. Just doing the right thing is enough. Especially given how important this next election is.
  18. Rant Conspiracy theories/ Crazy thoughts -- Post your whackiest beliefs in here that no one agrees with WITHOUT REGRETS!

    Should also be mentioned here that ineffective assistance of counsel is unavailable as a ground for appeal in civil cases, at least in the majority of states and I believe in the federal system. IAC is available in criminal cases because the 6A guarantees a right to counsel, which has been...
  19. Rant Conspiracy theories/ Crazy thoughts -- Post your whackiest beliefs in here that no one agrees with WITHOUT REGRETS!

    As it turns out, she indeed screwed up badly at trial. There's a rule that says you have to make an objection on the record at trial in order to preserve the matter for appeal. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-doesnt-appeal-experts-trump-171304346.html
  20. Conservatives Had to Get Weirdly Racist Even When It Comes to the Airplane Freakout

    Yes, and they blame trans girls for ruining women's sports. The overarching point being that they not only wrongly blame groups they don't like for problems that exist, they also blame them for problems that don't even exist. There is no problem with American commercial aviation. The only...
  21. 20 Years and it all goes to s*. Climate Change. Hossenfelder.

    Sabine Hossenfelder isn't quite as apocalyptic as is the commentary in this thread. Also, people should listen to her about nuclear power.
  22. Will Georgia indict? May find out tonight! Update: Posted Jan 9 finally indicted Aug 14.

    Yup, the most important point being that, prior to hiring Wade, Willis attempted to hire two other local attorneys to handle the case and both declined (due to being afraid of violence from Trump supporters). That and the fact that she also hired two other attorneys in addition to Wade, and all...
  23. Biden Administration weigh's taping the brakes on LNG Export.

    I'm not that worried about this. First, I don't think Biden will go along with it. DoE can't do it unilaterally. Second, if he did go along with it, it would take a few years for the impact to be felt. Third, since the war started, Europe and most particularly Germany, has been on an...
  24. Trump wins Iowa - is anyone surprised?

    Right, but it's good for the GOP primary to continue. Because Trump has to spend campaign funds on it, and he has to do some campaigning, and balance that with dealing with all his legal troubles. I hope she stays a good while. If nothing else, it should at least marginally increase his...
  25. Florida attempting to pass a bill to pay for legal services For Donald Trump

    So they want to use money that came from rank and file taxpayers in the state to pay for a billionaire's legal fees? Now that is democracy in action!
  26. Trump wins Iowa - is anyone surprised?

    I think what little there was already leaked out. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/21/opinions/nikki-haley-trump-mental-fitness-obeidallah/index.html Three times he says that Haley was "in charge of security" on 1/6, when she had no post in DC at the time. He was confusing her with Nancy Pelosi...
  27. Jewish Tunnels

    I'm not defending a "political system." I explained the reality of that system to you, to wit, that no leader of a democracy is going to do nothing after an attack of that magnitude. Which is quite obviously an accurate description of the real world of politics. The bolded is rank straw...
  28. Jewish Tunnels

    You really "don't understand" the point I was making? You know, where you argued that Israel had an intent to commit genocide based on reasons you gave, and I argued in response that a country wanting to commit genocide isn't going to be so bad at it that the target population is growing fast...
  29. Jewish Tunnels

    More than fuck ups. Our government literally lied as justification for going to war in Iraq, and there's probably a million dead there who would be alive now had we not started a war under completely false pretenses. You're right, number of deaths doesn't determine if something is a genocide...
  30. Elon Musk retweets post claiming graduates from HBCUs have low IQs and make flying more dangerous.

    To paraphrase a book title, the only difference between God and Elon Musk is that God doesn't think he's Elon Musk.
  31. Jewish Tunnels

    And the flaw in yours has to do with you not having the facts to support the notion that it is. But you're right, IF it was actually a genocide then it wouldn't matter how antisemitic the people are who are saying it are, which of course only matters if it actually is. It's only after looking...
  32. Jewish Tunnels

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're leaving out the incident that started this, just like all the people calling it a genocide are. People are extremely angry right now in Israel. And while some comments to the media are intemperate or even horrible, Israel's conduct here is consistent with a mission...
  33. Jewish Tunnels

    This is completely circular reasoning. You actually have to understand the history to break your circle.
  34. Jewish Tunnels

    I never said no one used it. I can't recall hearing it, but I assume it must be out there. Which doesn't really address my point, which is why are people saying this is genocide when the US started a war in Iraq, which was also in response to a really devastating terrorist attack, but did so...
  35. FDA scientists have recommended that the federal government remove marijuana from its most restrictive category of drugs.

    Not sure. You have a point. Never ordered it that way as I have a dispensary less than 10 minutes drive from me. What I think is that the dispensaries who deliver use their own drivers for delivery. Which makes it weird to say its mail order.
  36. Elon Musk retweets post claiming graduates from HBCUs have low IQs and make flying more dangerous.

    Yes, duh indeed, but in post#55 you attempted to refute Zorba's comment about Mississippi being a shithole by offering up your limited experience living in one town as a counterpoint. But it isn't a counterpoint, because every state in the country has some nice places to live in it. Yet by...
  37. FDA scientists have recommended that the federal government remove marijuana from its most restrictive category of drugs.

    Fair enough, but you seemed surprised by his mention of mail order weed.
  38. FDA scientists have recommended that the federal government remove marijuana from its most restrictive category of drugs.

    The connection of alcohol with traffic accidents, domestic violence, overdosing, liver failure, and pregnancy complications are undeniable. And other lesser things like socially embarrassing behavior and hangovers. Weed is not implicated in any of those things. And while he's correct that you...
  39. FDA scientists have recommended that the federal government remove marijuana from its most restrictive category of drugs.

    In CA you can order it online and have it delivered. There was a freeway billboard up around here last year with the URL where you could order it.
  40. A white nationalist, spouting Tucker Carlson's "white replacement theory" commits mass shooting in black neighborhood in Buffalo NY

    If a POTUS wants to end the death penalty in federal prosecutions, he need not involve himself in individual decisions. I'm not assuming that Biden had anything to do with the decision per se. In fact, I'm sure he didn't. It's a little confusing, as the first article I read said that there...
