Guy was convicted on 34 counts and then re-elected to the presidency.

… a source in the Kremlin told the state news agency TASS.

So, grain of salt?

14A S3 wasn’t enforced, why should 14A S1 be?

Gilded Age or Dark Ages, which one, they’re different.

… anymore

I turned an eighth grade (Catholic elementary school) bully into a ninth grade (public jr high) “we’re pretty cool now,” likely because he was scared as fuck to be in this rough public middle school, and I’d been getting bullied my whole life so it was nothing different for me.

My account there still exists for a couple of reasons.

One, so that nobody else uses my name there. Two, so that all my comments still say “Spez doesn’t get to profit from me anymore.” Three, since I rarely go there at all, and then only to read something, never to actually interact, that should fuck with their metrics.

The whole point of insurance is that a bunch of people pay a bit of money so that none of those people have to choose between tragedy and financial ruin. Ideally, it is a 100% socialist contract.

When the insurance company denies a claim, or otherwise stands in the way of someone receiving timely treatment, that contract is broken. It’s only a matter of time before someone who has been wronged comes to extract their pound of flesh, and I’m franlky surprised it hasn’t happened much sooner.

That’s why this incident has generated so much indifference towards someone stalking and shooting someone else on the street in broad daylight. Because all of us have experienced that contract being broken. All of us are owed a pound of flesh, and we’re vicariously receiving it.

Running insurance companies (again, insurance is ideally socialist) as capitalist endeavors (profit above everything, funneled to owners) is inherently abusive, and we all instinctively know this.

It wasn’t on the sidewalk or street. It was on his doorstep. However, I’m pretty sure that walking to the door of someone’s house and knocking on it doesn’t present a threat to the occupants of the house.

Edit: I am told that it wasn’t a knock, but a doorbell ring. This could be important, as the presence of a doorbell may amount to an invitation to press it.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

“And what we need to do is not have what we call confirmation bias and then that story automatically, the reader can press a button and get both sides of that exact same story based on that story and then give comments.”

Dude literally says “bOtH sIdEs”.

That would be something - buying a whole-ass e-bike to escape from your murder scene with. Interesting, too, that that bike hasn’t been found yet, which means he didn’t ditch it anywhere nearby, if at all.

That might be tough, since the cardholder is on the hook for the bike. I know I wouldn’t do that for a stranger in NYC.

Open letter to executive committees:

That feeling you’re feeling right now? The one where you’re scared, at every moment of every day, at least a little, sometimes a lot, but never not scared?

Yeah, the people you’re scared of feel that from about age five until they die, for all manner of reasons. They know how to go on with that fear inside them. You don’t. When - not if, when - shit goes sideways and you’ve got the resources that people need, they’re going to come take that shit from you, and there’s not a goddamned thing you’ll be able to do about it.

Could you do it with a burner phone and load the app from a Visa gift card? Rent and place the city bike around the corner, do the deed, drop the phone (whether on accident or on purpose), take off on the bike.

I’m sure that’s a state charge, not federal.

Americans, as a whole, have actively rejected compassion. Survival now depends on cunning.
