Steve Jobs is and was a raging asshole. The fact we exalt such types explains why this country has so many garbage elements to it. 

“Medical exemption” for a noted anti-vaxxer? How convenient.

A couple of folks have pointed out that there’s an option to view as a list, but I can't see their replies to say thanks. So: thank you :)

Or labor as in going into labor and giving birth against her will 

I’m not an expert on this, but there isn’t enough discussion on the trauma that comes along with being adopted. My friend was adopted by an amazing family as an infant and struggled. I’ve read other stories as well. Even if the foolish were to ignore the risks of pregnancy and the trauma of labor, adoption isn’t…

Where does one buy mushrooms in NYC, safely and reliably, without that paranoid little voice saying, “What if the fentanyl folks are lacing shrooms, too?” Completely serious question.

It’s time to set up an underground railroad into red stats to get pills to those who want them.

Inattentional blindness (tunnel vision) is very common during high stress situations, attention narrows in a crisis.

About 10% of people freeze up in emergencies; the situation exceeds their ability to process it in the time given to them. This is a built-in cognitive restraint; not something you can just will away.

None of which justifies the charging decisions the rather overzealous prosecutor made. And again let’s be real, there’s absolutely no possibility a white defendant would have faced the same “extreme indifference” charges - it’s those which are the big problem because of the mandatory minimums.

The charges aren’t correct, the sentence is an absolute miscarriage of justice, and if the dude was white, he would have gotten a slap on the wrist in comparison.

To a non-American, this sound like a prosecutor who saw an opportunity to get big-number headlines on an emotionally-charged case with an easy-target immigrant in the dock.

If no one felt he should have gotten that much time in prison, then they shouldn’t have charged him with so many things that had minimum sentences!

Me, reading the headline: “Wow that’s fucking nuts, how could this sentencing possibly happen?”

I don’t think #4 is really relevant when even those families apparently agree that 110 years isn’t warranted.

All this championing of newly-emancipated Britney....complete with the rearview-mirror-bashing the paparazzi who helped the breakdown-turned-conservatorship happen.......is going to seamlessly morph into breathless coverage of the shitshow when she starts to unravel again.

Ah yes. You’ve stumbled upon the greatest tax scheme ever. No it’s not large corporations using offshore addresses. It’s actually teachers buying supplies that aren’t in the budget.

Even if everything you said were true, you are still asking teachers to spend their personal after tax money in July or August (when they stock up before a school year) and not get money back until April or June after tax returns come back.

failing that, can Minnesota join Canada?
