  • I wonder what the options were

    Shaggy defense:

    It wasn’t me

    It most likely was him. And the prosecution likely has solid evidence

    It’s just they likely didn’t get that evidence thru legal means so it won’t be admissible.

    Like, at first they said a fast food worker recognized him, then she said she didn’t. She said someone walked up to her. Told her it looked like the shooter that has a big reward, and left

    That 100% smells like law enforcement needing a legal way to say he was found when they 100% knew it was him and where he was.

    So you attack the evidence they can share with a jury. Which isn’t great.

    You attack all the shitty things the cops did, like tazering him till he pissed his pants and then releasing a cell phone pic to taint the jury pool.

    His family is loaded as fuck, they’re gonna be able to afford good lawyers, it’s very likely he’s not found guilty


  • Haven’t argued with many MAGAts have you?

    Why would I?

    They want an argument, they want to be “challenged” and to “fight the good fight”.

    If rational people argue with them, it raises their group cohesion and they all circlejerk about it later.

    If rational people do the rational thing and do t engage with them they still need those arguments. So instead of circle jerking with each other, they have to argue with each other. Which fractures their group.

    Please be a rational person and stop being the punching bag of the right.

    You’ll never change their minds with facts and logic. All you’re doing is reinforcing their beliefs











  • The decision on probationary workers, who generally have less than a year on the job, came from the office of personnel management (OPM), which serves as a human resources department for the federal government.

    Why do so many people with no idea how the federal government is structured keep trying to talk about it like they have a clue?

    Obviously not as bad as the people running it not having a clue, but it’s incredibly hypocritical for people just as ignorant to talk shit.

    OPM is it’s own agency.

    They terminated their probationary employees, but they cannot fire anyone else’s.


  • Now tell me how

    Mate…

    I’ve sunk a lot of time trying to help you against your own will.

    I know you think talking like that is a “slam” and that you’re winning an argument, but no one else is arguing. I’m trying to help you, and you’re getting an attitude like that

    The only reason I’m replying again, is a hail Mary that you at least realize acting like this doesn’t mean you “win” when someone stops replying…

    It means someone wrote you off as a lost cause.

    And I bet you think you “win” a lot, so it was worth typing that.



  • s a personality disorder defined by a chronic pattern of behaviour that disregards the rights and well-being of others

    That is one of the diagnosis criteria…

    But it’s not a checklist where you gotta score 100%.

    And to keep the Harriet Tubman example, legally under society’s laws she wasn’t freeing people. At the time and place she was at she was stealing property from people, relatively expensive property, and in large amounts.

    Most people’s experience with someone diagnosed with ASPD are because they have the real bad ones in addition to the others, and someone without them would also almost never go see a shrink of their own free will, because they still have the other parts where they think (maybe rightfully) that they know more than everyone else.

    This also skews what the medical community sees.

    If someone doesn’t give a fuck about others, they still may realize the benefit of social nicities and benefits from being part of a community.

    This ain’t an idea I just had, people have been talking about this undercount since way before we stopped using outdated terms like “sociopath”, and that was decades ago.



  • Make the US people feel higher gas price

    It’s why I spent four years saying rather than tax incentives for electric vehicles, we need to just level the playing field and take away gas subsidizes. But good luck getting either party here to hurt fossil fuel profits. Both our options this election were pro-fracking.

    It’s fucking insane that we can’t socialize healthcare, but everyone needs to pitch in so Bill can drive his giant truck an hour to sit at a desk for 8 hours twice a day.

    There is literally zero reason for gas subsidizes when we’re trying to get people to move on from gas.
