Also 2/3 of Montanans have probably already voted, so this wont have that big an impact.

I addressed that but you seemed to have read past it.

How is this not clear? DAs use the THREAT of trial to get suspects to cop pleas EVERY DAY IN EVERY STATE. This is not really new or controversial. Just because an irresponsible judge and DA, with zero evidence, decided to try the case - it doesnt mean that this isnt the standard operating procedure. He wouldnt have…

I am sure there is a lot that everyone is missing here, but I wouldnt doubt that misdemeanor assault would carry a much shorter sentence than the time it would take to be tried for robbery. If he couldnt afford bail (which is likely since armed robbery bonds are usually pretty high) he would actually spend a lot less…

Expediency. Most courts are going to try to get you to cop a plea, so he was probably just trying to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Do carcinogens really matter to sentient tumors?

This is only funny if you dont think about it for even a second... You CPB (i.e., customs) tackles all of these issues kind of simultaneously. Their job is to verify contents of the containers - and make sure no one is smuggling contraband - whether that be people or illegal/undertaxed goods.

“awfully close to human rights violations”???

They are literally killing unarmed “suspects” in the streets, I would say that that qualifies as a human rights violations - and arent “awfully close.”

Yeah I am with you here. This was just a social media post, I dont think that she thought she was trying to change the world. Maybe it was a tad clumsy? She is a college student though (i.e., young), and she isnt really wrong.

Having a job, I have to look at health care like it is a privilege.

Well I am a beer drinker, and crushed ice (from the fridge) works great for normal drinks. If I was into spirits I would probably care more about my ice.

I know that about his parents, but the cousin was cringeworthy in delivery. His mom - while precious - usually seems like she just wants to get it over with. His dad seems to enjoy it though and hams it up a little. You can definitely see where he gets some of his giddy, high-pitched elation from.

Agreed. And i understand their needing to upcharge (especially since even great restaurants have food waste - whether it comes in rotten with a bunch of good ones or whatever) - but yeah, I am not going to order the easiest, most convenient thing to make for a sizable upcharge.

I wouldnt even have to dirty dishes…

I do think its odd that everyone thinks that the best sushi is “super fresh.” IIRC it was years ago that most good places started putting their fish in a medical blast chiller, and aged everything at least 3 days (and this in Japan where they have access to hours old stock). Extremely fresh fish is a bit bland as you…

sounds laborious.

I didnt realize that this was actually a thing (smashed avocado for $19 or toast for $20+)... You can easily acquire avocados here for $1-$2.50, and they are easily smashed when ripe.

No you pretty well outlined it in your OP, even going so far as to define what you find to be socially acceptable forms of “feminism.”

Both you and Miss USA both seemed to have missed the point by a country mile.

Fame and attention are like a drug to some, and are both easily monetized in the troll economy that is conservative media.

The “Religion” episode was the only one that I thought was really uneven. I am guessing that there are just too many non-actor “actors” in that episode - especially his “model” cousin. Some of the acting, and a little of the topical stuff, seemed so after-school special in comparison to the other episodes.

The sixth…
