Under California law, there shouldn’t have been a citizen’s arrest at all. Absent an immediate, ongoing threat, you’re just supposed to file a police report and let them perform the arrest at the appropriate time.

These two things are not the same. Delaying arrests or allowing people to surrender themselves for misdemeanors is common as hell.

The Max has serious design flaws (that have maybe been corrected) and construction quality issues that are just being discovered. The Max8 has killed 100's of people. The Max9 has threatened 100's more with stupid stuff like loose bolts. There are reasons to be scared of Boeing products.

$9,000 on gas to go 67,000 miles isn’t a Prius. It’s a small SUV. He could cut that to $3,500 with a Prius.

Back in I wanna say 2006/2007/2008 Ethan Hawke wrote a profile on Kris Kristofferson for Rolling Stone. A big aspect of the profile was about how out of place Kristofferson was in the country music world during the Iraq War since he was a Vietnam vet and outspoken liberal. There’s a scene in that profile where…

FTFY

One strange, frustrating feature of the politics around the Iraq War is that a broad consensus has emerged that the war was a colossal mistake, without any corresponding acknowledgement that the people saying that in 2003 were right. I suspect that many of the people who were eager to vilify the Dixie Chicks in 2003…

“formerly booked”

I’m not sure we’re supposed to feel too bad for him. I read it more as “this asshole is going to snap when reality hits him.” 

Losing my mind over this too. Even if you can come up with some arbitrary way to define the sidewall as “not important”, it’s notably the part of the tire you can’t even patch! When it gets damaged you need to replace the whole-ass tire!

Wait. So, do you work for Tesla, or have your years of pro-Tesla comments on Jalopnik just been for fun?

They were not misusing the stated intention of the account until the streaming service changed their terms. Netflix expressly said it was fine to use logins at different locations and with different users until they decided, no, it wasn’t OK. I directly contacted them to ask if it was OK and they said yes. So their…

1) Whether or not Disney should have a special tax district is not at issue. The reason why their tax district was taken from them is.

I didn’t realize something happening in the past was grounds to dismiss a suit.  I imagine the backlog of court cases should drop drastically now that we no longer have to consider things that have already happened.

CarMax Won’t Give You MSRP For Your Cybertruck

two decades ago sexist characters were just delivery systems for sexist jokes

I think Sokka’s sexism is important because it’s not just him; when the Gaang gets to the Northern Water Tribe, Katara is told she can only train as a healer because that’s the role for women who are water benders there. Sokka has just picked up the customs of the earlier generations, and like a lot of the stuff…

They were cringeworthy in the animated show. They were meant to be cringeworthy. You can tell almost immediately that Katara is level-headed and responsible and that Sokka’s comments about gender aren’t based on any rational thinking. It’s not exactly subtle, but this is a kid’s program, and when those teach lessons…
