That’s basically the position that sanctuary cities take, because someone being held can file a writ of habeas corpus and be released if the local jurisdiction has no legal authority to hold them.

Clearly, you know nothing about Chicago, because you keep writing South Chicago (a real place) when you actually mean South Side of Chicago, but keep trolling, duder.

Wine is the third host during that hour of today—it ain’t going nowhere.

You should take a lesson from this lady!

Yes, I just think intrinsic is not the right word, but I’m not sure what is. I definitely am aware of the campaigns and certainly agreed that they have shaped our culture—why, hello, two months’ salary on a finger! The value of diamonds to consumers has been purposefully manipulated by vendors, so they’re “worth” way l…

Damn, that is savage af.

Yes, but that worth is not intrinsic—it’s still assigned. The assigned value is only higher (and thus seemly intrinsic) because of its relative (to diamonds, in this case) rarity. The intrinsic value would lie in its actual use as an object—i.e. its intrinsic properties like the fact that it’s conductive but not…

I get the point you’re trying to make, but it’s wrong. Diamonds have great industrial use and worth, which is exactly the worth intrinsic to gold.

It really doesn’t. You should be more precise with your language—the owners and board members may be the same, but they needn’t be. Therefore, the board can be fired—and this is the part you seem not be be getting—by themselves, as owners. I know corporations are a legal fiction, but they’re not that difficult to…

They could do it, but the clause would be totally and utterly unenforceable on its face.

They absolutely will get taken to court if there is any stated outright prohibition on resale or cap on the price is attempted to be enforced by Tesla. There is well-settled law about what manufactures can do to interfere with the secondary market, and restricting further sales is almost never something they can do.…

Lulz, no. An original manufacturer cannot forbid you from reselling a purchased product or cap your selling price. There is well-settled law about what manufactures can do to interfere with the secondary market.

This is so fucking stupid. You realize the kind of attitude this creates for impressionable children, right? When someone does not do something you want and you have power of them, simply strike them to get your way! Oh, your wife isn’t doing something you want her to or “gets out of hand”? Just give her a quick…

The article almost gets there (as in, almost makes a supporting argument). I think the discussion about the group ordering the pills online and in most cases receiving what they ordered was meant to suggest, “Hey, see. Even though this is illegal and unregulated, the market participants are not putting one in danger,…

I was kind of with you, but that last paragraph doesn’t cut it. Yes, of course intentions matter, but the same amount of “good” would be done spending one’s entire life doing charity work and organizing benefits for others, no matter the reasoning. Depending on one’s intentions when “doing good,” there may be an…

There’s definitely something complicated going on with an eight year old committing arson, but okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The only reason he didn’t catch all the hands is because he had that “well-meaning ally” protecting him.

There are so many gems in this, but I just wanted to point to exactly the dynamic that people seem to be missing when discussing corporal punishment. If your kid is acting out for some reason and in such a way that you are tempted to hit them: (1) they probably are craving attention and/or are wanting to feel valued…

This is because what these abuse enablers won’t admit is that the majority of these “spankings” take place purely out of the parent’s frustration or anger. That they can’t understand that it is at least just as fucked up to take your frustration out your child by hitting him/her as it would to do the same with an…

Sure, you deserved to be punished—but why hit? Why, instead of propagating more violence by striking you, wasn’t the first step to figure out why the fuck an eight year old set his/her sibling’s bed aflame?
