Yeah, been like this for quite a while. They can drag you for a while, lose their case, shrug it off, and continue as normal.

Meanwhile, you lost your job after your arrest, maybe even were denied bail and had to stay ~2 years in jail waiting for trial, and spent $100k on legal expenses. Winning at trial gives you no restitution for those massive losses. You're expected to also shrug it off and continue life.

Important for those who don't know: police can legally lie to you. Happens all the time when they're trying to get a confession. In a discussion, they'll be like "we have your fingerprints matched and we have video of you, so it's better if you're just honest with us." But they often don't have anything which is why they're desperate for a confession.

Weird to me that people are taking issue with the cameras more than the police work.

The problem here is charges being made with weak evidence and officers legally allowed to lie. I had a similar experience, but she was smarter than me. I was 22 and naive, thinking I didn't need to prove my innocence because they have to prove my guilt in court (logically seemed impossible when I wasn't guilty). The presumption of innocence is a lie. And juries and judges don't operate with pure logic and reason. I had to learn the hard way, losing many years of my life.

I took great pains last week to convert a big python project to make it typed. (shoutout to MonkeyType)

It's so much nicer to develop now...

Careful. Trying to sell Brave as a homophobe web browser won't hurt it like you guys think.

Good for women who don't want to give birth, but still half-raise kids. You get a break from the kids during joint custody with ex-wife.

It is unclear who the individuals arrested are or what the reason was for their arrests

Wow great reporting. Didn't contact the restaurant or anything. Just writing about videos people post on social media.

It's a good article. But the article's title is clickbait considering the author is an animation zealot promoting their animation products in the article and linking to their animation course at the end.

I blame people more than Microsoft. People were either duped or too lazy to say "Microsoft Teams" in full. It's not too crazy to have services like "Apple Music" because people aren't allowing Apple to control the word by just saying "Music" casually. People need to go back to saying "Microsoft Teams." Alas, it will never happen. 😒

Congratulations! You failed.

There's no way you people would think she's racist if she wasn't transphobic.

She was very accepting of Hermione being cast as a black girl. Seamus was just used as comedic relief in the movies, much moreso than in the books, with his magical mistakes causing explosions being primarily when he was a kid. He was loyal and high achieving character.

Meanwhile, the blonde character who uses the offense slur "mudblood" is the childhood villain for most the books. Yet she is racist for this somehow too, I imagine.

It's very unlikely Joseph was in his 70s. Neither of their ages are mentioned. Common estimates for Mary are 13-14, and Joseph being in late teens or early 20s.

Was the shooting politically motivated?

The Catholic shooting had the shooter writing tons of political messaging on weapons and such. That's why it was both "targeted violence" and "terrorism".

Seems the Mormon shooter just didn't like Mormons, in general or some specific ones.

Just break the encryption. Easy peasy.

There are plenty of jobs people don't want to do unless they're compelled. Lots of people wouldn't even bathe if there wasn't social pressure.

Most people know better. It's completely bad faith arguing.

Being against the Patriot Act does not mean you're not a patriot. Being against Black Lives Matter does not mean you think black lives don't matter. Same can be said about Antifa's actions; plenty of reasons to oppose them that do not involve supporting facism.

Also, there's the common fallacy of composition / division. Being against the Civil Rights Act doesn't mean you support segregation. Being against the Big Beautiful Bill does not mean you're against child tax credits.

College educated people know better, but still leverage dishonesty for political points. It's tiring.

My favorite is when it just removes erroneous code. Problem solved!

Sometimes lawyers do preliminary motions like to suppress unconstitutional search warrants or change of venue and stuff. If it's complex, it can take a while, and defense cannot request speedy trial if they're filing things, but you also don't necessarily want to forgo filing useful things.

Also, if they violate the constitutional right to a speedy trial, you can file a habeas corpus or something and, even if you win, there's still no consequence except them shrugging and saying oops.

If people willingly choose to shorten their life, I don't consider it a problem.

Now, lying and manipulating people into choosing it, similar to what the cigarette industry did, is obviously a problem.

But at this point, everyone knows cigarettes and processed foods are unhealthy. People just don't care.

Now that they brought him back, there's going to be another wave of revenue loss. A political pincer movement lol.
