quindraco,

The original myth doesn’t involve her consent, but it’s been popular on the internet for years now to make the story less rapey.

quindraco,

Why didn’t you read the very clear, explicit label?

Colorado cannot ban unproven abortion pill reversal treatment, judge says (www.reuters.com)

U.S. District Judge Daniel Domenico said in an opinion on Saturday that a Colorado law banning so-called medication abortion reversal treatment likely violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom. His order stops the state from enforcing the law against Bella Health and Wellness, which sued to block it, or...

quindraco,

You’re supposing the judge obeyed the Constitution here. He did not; freedom of religion is not freedom to defraud, and the people selling this drug are committing fraud.

'There are no victims, except me': Trump flips out on Letitia James in midnight rant (www.rawstory.com)

Despite warnings from New York Judge Arthur Engoron to not attack court officials, Donald Trump went on an extended rant near midnight on Sunday, lashing out at the judge who has already fined him $5000, in addition to once again attacking New York Attorney General Letitia James.In a post that compl...

quindraco,

His gag order in that case applies to court staff - so neither the judge nor the prosecutor. There won’t be any punishment, as he violated no law.

quindraco,

To landlords, who will charge arbitrarily high rent, secure in the knowledge that they aren’t in a free market due to inelasticity of demand (people can’t do without shelter) and supply (there are finite places to live). That will let them pay the insurance premiums homeowners can’t afford.

quindraco,

I’ve heard worse business proposals, for sure. But be careful about identifying as a landlord (even a prospective one) in a place like this!

quindraco,

Landlords aren’t defined by literally owning land or literally being lords. If you own living space you rent out, you’re a landlord, even if your apartments are mobile (including both RVs and houseboats).

But listen, I support you and your choices. This is not me being critical. We’re just having this conversation in a space where it’s much more in vogue to hate anyone who owns living space they rent out.

quindraco,

You have the order incorrect. The cop started the brawl by Tasing.

quindraco, (edited )

His middle name is also Edward.

quindraco,

“Eating” isn’t a verb, either. The person you’re responding to just got some terms wrong, the underlying idea about contractions is correct.

New Mexico governor defends approach to attempted gun restrictions, emergency order on gun violence (apnews.com)

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday defended her decision to treat gun violence as a public health epidemic, citing statistics on recent firearms seizures, reduced reports of gunfire in the Albuquerque metro area and an uptick in jail bookings, while awaiting a crucial court ruling on a signature effort to suspend...

quindraco,

The real problem here from a governance standpoint is that executive orders are fundamentally anathema to the rule of law - but no judge is going to invalidate them on a conceptual level. Every legislature in the country loves unconstitutionally abrogating its responsibilities by delegating the executive.

What is a thermal car?

quindraco,

Of course it qualifies as a hate crime. Hate crime legislation is entirely about what you think inside your head as you commit some other crime - hence the word “hate”.

quindraco, (edited )

From the linked article, emphasis mine:

In certain circumstances, [roof knocking] will be used, the source says, but today Israel is already evacuating masses of the Gaza populace from central terrorist areas and attacking there.

Louisiana public school principal apologizes after punishing student for dancing at a party (apnews.com)

The 17-year-old student government president and scholarship candidate was videotaped dancing at an off-campus party following Walker High School’s Sept. 30 Homecoming festivities. A hired DJ took the video and posted it on social media. Three days later, Jason St. Pierre, principal of the public high school near the state...

quindraco,

Alt-text OP inexplicably refused to give us:

Running for office in Minnesota on the single-issue platform ‘dig a permanent channel through the Traverse Gap because it will make this map more satisfying.’

quindraco,

Finally, I can sit on chocolate while drinking my chocolate in a chocolate cup on a chocolate countertop. Truly, we have peaked as a society.

quindraco,

No way, New York City is a shitty place to live? Next you’ll tell me water is wet or something. Mind blown.

quindraco,

If you replace your underscores with asterisks, emphasis/italics should work as intended.

quindraco,

What’s with the incredibly poor editing on the dialogue? “Droppping” is probably the most obvious example, but far from the only one, as Joseph’s grammar is incredibly sloppy.

quindraco,

Conflating hatred of the CCP with hatred of Chinese people is so dumb it’s worthy of Hexbear. Do better.

quindraco,

I seriously doubt that. You’re putting way too much stock in that BOE to have sane practices like making their rules known ahead of time.

quindraco,

Absolutely. No lawyer worth a damn will advise you to post about your own pending litigation on the internet. It has potential downsides ans zero potential upsides. Post after the litigation is done.

quindraco,

Surely someone wouldn’t just go on the internet and just plain lie, right? Right?

quindraco,

Yes, many laws require a proof of criminal intent, although the nuances of that can be tricky.

Classic example: a convicted felon named Bob is charged with possessing a firearm while a felon. You are the prosecutor. You must prove the following to establish intent:

  1. Bob knows he is a felon (typically trivial).
  2. Bob knows he possessed the object at issue.

Meanwhile, you don’t need to prove these:

  1. Bob knows felons can’t possess firearms.
  2. Bob knows the object at issue is a firearm.

Because US law defines many things as “firearms” which zero people would agree count as firearms in common parlance, number 4 is a very common reason to go to jail. For example, spent shell casings count as firearms, legally, so you can go to prison for possessing a lamp incorporating a spent shell casing into the design for aesthetic purposes.

quindraco,

Just the basic feeling? There’s no term for that (in English) because it’s (ordinarily) the universal human condition. Monogamy is a choice, not an off switch.

If it were to become anything more complex than that it might start putting its thumb on the scale for the term “polyamory”, a linguistic abomination (should be polyphilia or multiamory) you can look up for a deeper dive.

quindraco,

Wait. Did they just get “lesbian” legally declared an insult? Because that sounds like a huge step in the wrong direction for the gay community.

Kansas police chief who led raid on small weekly newspaper has resigned, official says (apnews.com)

The police chief who led an August raid on a small weekly newspaper in central Kansas resigned Monday, just days after he was suspended from his post and following the release of body camera video of the raid showing an officer searching the desk of a reporter investigating the chief’s past....

quindraco,

That’s not how deportation works.

quindraco,

If the race was first to touch the door and make it back to starting, she won - with extra sass.

quindraco,

OP hates their fellow lemmings, so they posted an xkcd without the alt-text. I love you, so here it is.

[after a minute] “Okay, I think I’ve got it, thanks. Can I–” “oOOOooOOooo!”

quindraco,

The problem with letting the state kill citizens is the shockingly high rate at which it will inevitably kill innocent people.

quindraco,

I appreciated them correcting Randall’s bad alt-text math - he was off by a power of ten!

quindraco,

Hopefully all of these predatory agencies will go bankrupt. U.S. emergency rooms are the most expensive, least efficient sources of health care on the planet.

quindraco,

The study found the opposite. The really bad guys were the ones with many partners.

quindraco,

TIL hypersonic is genuinely a distinct word from supersonic.

quindraco,

Finally, we’ve solved math.

2 Michigan fake electors ask judge to drop charges, citing state AG’s claim they’re ‘brainwashed’ (www.cnn.com)

Two fake GOP electors in Michigan asked a judge this week to dismiss their charges, arguing that state Attorney General Dana Nessel conceded that they didn’t have criminal intent when she said they were “brainwashed” after the 2020 election....

quindraco,

Not relevant. The relevant version of this would be, if you genuinely believe Jodie Foster to be immortal, can you be charged with attempted murder for shooting at her?

quindraco,

Did you miss the part where the comic defends the banker by attacking his attacker’s method of attack?

quindraco,

Banks are also not responsible for housing.

quindraco,

He was sentenced to 14 years, this article is trash.

quindraco,

Urinals offer exactly zero additional convenience, and there is no splashback-free angle.

quindraco,

No, they aren’t. They’re designed to be cheap, not effective.

quindraco,

Basic physics. Toilets have zero splash because gravity exists. Urinals have maximum splash due to conservation of momentum.
