I made a catio in my backyard (3rd one attached the house) because our little bastards will kill everything in a kilometre radius. Not that we’ve ever tested that, but we’ve seen how they act when creatures smaller then them are out and about within their purview.
Equating Jagmeet to both Taylor Swift and the Trumps? I’m not sure I’m following you point, unless your point is simply “rich people bad”.
Did you have a better candidate to cast your vote to?
That’s a weird take. Family name and upbringing aside, he was the most “on our side” politician available at the time. I think his main fault was simply that he wasn’t very likeable.
Trial by socia media? Fuck outta here.
All these scummy shitbags are certainly guilty, but this needs to be proven.
The motto I get behind is “trust, but verify”.
Does YouTube vanced/revanced not work on Graphene?
And then the smart plug begins to time drift…
No big deal, just set the time back to midnight every few days. Problem solved.
I like the line of thinking, but I feel like it would be much easier just switching the stickers on the cartridge lol
As someone who has family who votes in that 40%, I can confirm (anecdotally) that they only care about fiscal policy.
Do you have a point you’re trying to make, or are you just airing out some trauma?
I’ve been in this situation, years ago. Maybe a decade. My ex didn’t have a single hobby, and much like what you described, she was the same as yours. I’ve learned to stay away from potential partners without hobbies. I don’t know why, I can’t explain it, but there’s something there.
My current girlfriend has waaaay too many hobbies, and while it drives me nuts, it makes her happy, which makes me happy.
Anyway, that’s my experience, but this isn’t about me. I’m just sympathizing with what you’re saying. Good luck out there. Things get better, and maybe now you’re a little more experienced in what you want and what to look for and what to avoid.
God… American beer…
You aren’t doing green text right if you don’t call everything fake and gay, even if it’s true and straight
This isn’t a random person lol, but yes
Horrible thought that so much of the population is that fucking stupid
Try being a Warhammer 40k enjoyer. Some people forget that humanity are STILL BAD GUYS in 40k.
I can provide no further information that is going to help you see the point.
God speed.
You’re missing the point, especially if you think a fair and just system even exists within the US. If you want to take the stance that “murder is illegal”, sure, what he did was illegal. Jury nullification is a way we peons can still hold an iota of power. It’s spitting in the face of unjust systems.
Let me ask you this. Would you prefer a situation in which Luigi was convicted for murder, sentenced to life in prison, and the system never changes? Or would you prefer a situation in which exceptions are given in exceptional circumstances in an attempt to change a fundamentally broken system?
If your answer is the former, you might just want to apply at United and work your way up.
I’m going to copy WoodScientist’s post. Don’t know how to tag, sorry, but credit goes to him for this.
"I would say that jury nullification isn’t just some accident of the legal system, but the primary reason we have juries in the first place.
Judges will say that juries are meant to just decide the simple facts of the case. But what sane person would ever design a system that assigns 12 random untrained nobodies to do that task? If all that mattered was judging the facts of the case, why not have 12 legal scholars instead? Why isn’t “juror” a profession, just like being a lawyer or judge is? If we want people to just apply the letter of the law to the facts of a case, why not fill juries with professionals, each who had a legal degree, and who have sat as jurors hundreds of times? Judging evidence and reading law is a skill. And it’s one that can be educated on, trained, and practiced. Why do we have amateur juries, when professional juries would clearly do their purported job so much better? Or why not just do what some countries do, and have most or all trials decided solely by judges? What exactly is the point of a jury? Compared to everything else in the courtroom, the jurors, the ones actually deciding guilt or innocence, are a bunch of untrained amateurs. On its face, it makes no damn sense!
No, the true reason, and really the only reason, we have juries at all is so that juries can serve to judge both the accused AND the law. Juries are meant to be the final line of defense against unjust laws and prosecution. It is possible for a law itself to be criminal or corrupt. Legislative systems can easily be taken over by a tiny wealthy or powerful minority of the population, and they can end up passing laws criminalizing behaviors that the vast majority of the population don’t even consider to be crimes.
The entire purpose of having a jury is that it places the final power of guilt and innocence directly in the hands of the people. Juries are meant as a final line of defense against corrupt laws passed by a minority against the wishes of the greater majority. An unaccountable elite can pass whatever ridiculous self-serving laws they want. But if the common people simply refuse to uphold those laws in the jury box, those laws are meaningless.
THAT is the purpose of a jury. It is the only reason juries are worth the trouble. A bunch of rank amateurs will never be able to judge the facts of a case better than actual trained legal scholars with years of experience. But by empowering juries, it places the final authority of the law firmly in the hands of the people. That is the value of having a jury at all.
Jury nullification is not just some strange quirk or odd loophole in our justice system. It’s the entire reason we have juries in the first place."
For the first 2 points: Don’t use “Western democracies”. This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.
3rd point: Getting banned online is a “you” problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don’t afford to their people.
4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don’t, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.
5th point: Fair enough.
I don’t directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme… In which case I do mean directly you.
Haha damn, totally missed it.
It’s actually significantly more expansive than it looks. Part of the bridge you see runs under our deck, and then on the other side there is an enclosed ramp up to our kitchen window. Another part of it forks off to the front of the deck so they have a primo sunbathing spot .We simply unlock the little cat door that was installed in the window screen, and they are out.
Thanks for the kind words. We feel good about the compromise of letting them outside, but not letting them kill all the surrounding wildlife.
