“Obviously what I did is wrong,” JiDion said, “but how am I supposed to do better the next time if I can never get a next time?”

I’m sorry that you have to write about this middle school shit.

None of that power on screen came for free, none of it. 

I haven’t gotten to the point yet where I’m getting death-stares in public, since I just started HRT in the middle of last year, but like, it took me YEARS to get to this point because of the sheer terror of merely existing in a world where a good portion of society would love to see me end up dead in the gutter.

Then…

I agree that copyright is horseshit, however you gotta understand these streamers doing it this way? Is gonna ruin Twitch for a lot of people. There’s obviously no way that an anime publisher, who has to invest so much money and manpower into localization and licensing, is going to be cool with you sharing the content…

These same people were awful proud of being the ‘silent majority’ during the last election, so I don’t expect they’re willing to talk like adults after their hero was cast aside. 

Whatever. Not one bit surprised. The single most symbolic of redneck affiliated sports would attract such dipshits like this guy is par for the course. Lastly, I had absolutely zero problem saying “Fuck Trump” during his entire time in office and to the present day. “Let’s go Brandon” is lame. Its ok to use big boy…

I am shocked, shocked! to learn the mouthpiece for this particular cryptocurrency is apparently a humongous douche. 

Drug dogs are as accurate as polygraphs. Which is...not.  And are used to instigate all sorts of malfeasance.

No drug dogs. The false positive rate for “drug-sniffing” dogs is around 67%.

So many layers of failure here:

Yup, and take it from police officers who have never been reprimanded or punished for being bad cops, so that they realize their blind eye to the fuckery of other pigs is costing them. The only way they learn is getting hit in their wallets, or people going full Chris Dorner on them.

Hopefully the lawsuit against the rental car company goes somewhere. The vehicle was wrongfully reported stolen, which led to the police stop. It should have been a civil contract dispute, not a criminal matter.

“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

Just make the payments come from the pension fund.  That’ll really make them clean up real quick.

Resisting arrest is such a bullshit charge 

Not surprised at all. Hopefully his settlement is enough to keep him comfortable for the rest of his life. Unfortunately it will come out of the city’s funds instead of the PD itself. It would be really satisfying if the cops had to sell off their MRAPs and cut their military cosplay budget to cover this stuff instead…

Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit.

When you make sleds 4 stroke, you kill a fair amount of the power/weight advantage they have over battery electric ones. Sooner or later, 2 stroke snowmobiles will be outlawed in a bunch of states that actually have a fair bit of a market (Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Maine, New Hampshire). Yep, the red…

As an EV proponent, I’m still fine with snowmobiles staying gas powered. But this smog-belching 2-stroke shit needs to go, and take its buzzy-ass sounds and soot-covered trails with it.
