Sure, but, if that person pulls the lever, they’re killing you, so…

That explains the wait-then-dismiss situation. On the other hand, I wonder if the person on trial actually did it or if they were pressured into a plea deal…

I do not have a lot of faith in our court system.

Maybe we should just use ‘Photoslop’ and combine the two.

I’ve been summoned as a juror twice in >20 years of eligibility. They have a number you call when the date comes to see if you actually have to appear or not; the first time, I didn’t have to go at all. The second time, I did have to appear; I sat in a waiting room with about 20 other people for an hour, then we were all told we could go home.

Overall, shitty experience.

I guess I’m suggesting that if you got kids used to using Linux, they’d be more likely to keep using Linux after graduating, on their personal computers. Nobody’s using ChromeOS for anything serious.

Imagine the technological shift we could see if they were similarly powered linux laptops vs. Chromebooks. Get kids used to linux in school and I bet we’d start seeing Windows losing much more significant market share.

I have a firstname.lastname email address, but I only use it for e.g. my son’s school or work contacts, who already know me by my real name. It’s not associated with any accounts or login info. I have an awful email address I created when I was 16 that gets used for signing up for random junk.

The thing about US exceptionalism is, it was fed to us all throughout grade school and even before. We had to recite the pledge of allegiance every day, for fuck’s sake. It’s something that has to be unlearned now, and a lot of folks just don’t want to, or don’t care to, or don’t even realize that it was a load of bullshit. Honestly the internet is probably the only exposure to other cultures most of us have (that’s certainly true for me), so folks who aren’t active in internet spaces other than, like, Facebook and whatnot might never have talked to anyone from another country in their whole lives.

The ruined alliteration is mildly annoying to me!

Beans, bacon, booze and… blubber?

No.

No, but I’d definitely put that necklace on anyway. Not like the baby knew anything about religion, but it still worked for him; should work for me, too.

I’m “lazy” in that same way and I always bring it up when I’m asked what my strengths are in interviews. I don’t like doing unnecessary work. I will be the one automating tasks and finding more efficient ways to do things while other people are wasting their time doing it the long way, purely because I want to waste less time on it.

*notices your soul* OwO what’s this?

Looks like a disembowelment.

I had to google this, legitimately thought you were referring to a Pokemon or something. Some weird combination of Geodude and Psyduck, maybe.

Look, if I have to go bankrupt for visiting the hospital to make sure that all these “rainbow flag” groups can’t corrupt our youth, that’s what I’m going to do!

• Conservatives, probably

Not to mention by ending (or changing the structure of) subsidies for farmers (in the US, at least). Because of the way the subsidies are paid out, farmers are incentivized to grow crops like soybeans and corn that feed livestock vs. crops that people eat, because they’re more heavily subsidized.

There’s a lot of articles about this topic out there but in the interest of providing a source, here’s one example.

There’s literally no way any of us could possibly know the answer to that question.

This is the way. IMO no individual should be allowed to have more wealth than the poorest country. Want to earn more? Uplift the impoverished, then you can.

Put them in the post content / comment on the OP. Only one will show up on the thumbnail, but if someone clicks into the post, they’ll all be there.
