It is, however, entirely ridiculous to bring up said trauma as a reason to lighten his sentence, which was the context of the letter.

I’m trying to understand why people are mad at Cinemark—it looks like not only did they offer to settle (which they 100% shouldn’t have had to do), but they also let the plaintiffs drop out—only 4 of the original 40 plaintiffs are responsible. Those 4 were unreasonable. They were wrong. And I am sympathetic—their…

This show and Mystery Incorporated are go-to shows for me when I want to watch something.

Truth is only a defense to libel in the US, and she doesn’t live in the US, though

I, too, had a crisis and am now GF. Dairy Ican survive. ...in small doses. At least you aren’t also a vegetarian! I tell my partners at work “I can’t eat normal people food”. If you’re still having issues, have you looked into low FODMAP diets ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP) I haven’t looked deeply…

What is the “Something”, exactly, that causes you to think that? Is it the fact that I made an argument you don’t like, but aren’t capable of responding to? I’m genuinely curious. Because what it LOOKS like is that you’re an idiot I should just dismiss. I’ll have to ask my wife after I cook her dinner and do the…

Wait...I haven’t listened to the episode yet (been busy with stuff that doesn’t let me listen to my normal list o’ podcasts) but...he’s the selfish one?

Oh, okay. Everybody seemed to link it to the three step glitch.

Thanks for the explanation! So the argument is that before you could see that X Pokemon were within 1 footstep, and could use a boost then, as opposed to now, when there’s no way to know whether they’re 1 or 3 footsteps away?

Not every idea that’s a bad idea is necessarily unconstitutional.

Do you boost before you even find stuff?

I don’t play Pokemon. I do play Ingress, the game which generated all the data that P-Go uses for its pokestops and whatnot.

The pasta is good. Just don’t cook it too long or think the leftovers will keep.

Well sand is actually an upgrade—earthy. Most of the cookies I try to eat are more cardboard than sand.

Why were the charges dismissed? I mean ostensibly, not cause he’s white and it’s Texas—valid, but less relevant.

I would, in fact, day that anyone who applies for parole wants to be let off the hook. I would only feel the bed to comment on it if they contradict themselves by sarong they aren’t trying to get off the hook. I don’t begrudge the application, but rather the contradiction.

I do realize that one of the problems with the system is the length of sentence!

You are correct! However, for the purposes of the analogy, and explaining the “hook” concept, the similarities (getting away from the complete consequences) were what I was talking about—and were comparable. The point is sometimes issues become cloudy because they’re extreme, and it can help to use a non-extreme…

I’m just using the common terms for the different theories of justice. For what it’s worth, I think retributive justice is actually more just than rehabilitative justice, since the latter forces a way of thinking, rather than being an impartial review of actions and giving consequences—so I’m actually not a HUGE fan…
