at this point about the only thing that would make them even more evil is if they somehow positioned themselves as the gatekeeper for online voting. (i'm sure they've tried.)
But you left out the most delicious part -- you as the owner of that property have ZERO standing in the court case. Basically the case is 'people vs john doe's belongings'.
Hey, don't expect society to conform to your delusion!
if you want to play planetary dress up, feel free. but if you were born a planet, then you're a planet.. and no amount of mental gymnastics will change that.
I'm saying this as a moderate (at best drinker) -- the.08 limit is pathetically, laughably low in terms of being an ACTUAL fucking public safety issue. Driving before morning coffee, or while tired is almost assuredly more of an impairment.
It's a political 'thing', and shows us *exactly* what a 'think of the children mindset' results in. I can think of only a few instances where the presumption of innocence and due process for being searched is thrown out the window. DUI checkpoints? What kind of Soviet, GDR type nonsense is that?
Now, it's true -- you probably shouldn't be driving after even a single drink -- BUT if someone blows a.09, should they have their professional and financial life ruined?
FYI, if there's even a SHRED of doubt, always opt for the blood test. Especially considering things like mouth wash, or ketones can result in a false positive. As an added bonus, that extra time waiting for the blood draw means your BAC is decreasing.
Thanks MADD, you co-opted the 5th amendment with your prohibition agenda.
We should not bind ourselves by agreements made dictatorially by a single person.
You do see the irony here right? Trump is ALSO making an executive decision, unilaterally, with potentially severe ramifications. No oversight, no checks and/or balances, and most importantly no debate (neither from inside his cabinet, nor from congress). That is not the hallmark of a democracy.
My god.. to think people were worried about Andrew Jackson acting as if he were king. Imagine if people from that era knew what our last few presidents have been up to.
if it were simple for law enforcement to access the phones of citizens (criminals and innocents alike), they wouldn't just use those capabilities for investigations into criminal matters. It would be a gigantic fishing expedition. Bear in mind the FBI is enthusiastically pushing for back-doors in encryption; it's such a blatant tell as to what their and other LEO groups end game would be. I'm being somewhat sarcastic with this but:
*red and blue lights in your rearview mirror* *police office saunters over, and you roll your window down* The officer speaks: "license, registration, and cell phone please"
Basically to LEO's everyone is a potential suspect. They view due process, privacy rights, the 5th amendment etc as obstacles to doing their job; catching bad guys. But these obstacles are there specifically to keep police honest.
Sure, removing these obstacles might net a few more criminals locked up, crimes solved etc -- but it comes at the cost of increasingly aggressive police behavior, and erosion of civil liberties.
Once government on any level gets power, it never, ever voluntarily relinquishes it.
companies like google, MS, amazon will leverage their data harvesting bullshit to subsidize devices. Privacy oriented devices will not have that monetization to cushion the up-front cost.
To the average consumer things like "we don't harvest your information, your privacy is *actually* important to us" are completely opaque, and don't enter into the equation -- and as such, do not win out over large price differences.
FB and the Cambridge debacle result in minor, temporary outrage, and then it's back to the status quo -- people (by and large) do not care about privacy. And it will only get worse up until some kind of anti-trust legislation against these companies.
billionaires are among the most oppressed, discriminated against, and bullied people on the face of planet. How insensitive can one person possibly be towards the plight of these unfortunate souls?
Wiping away tears with bearer bonds just leads to paper cuts, and more tears.
+1 on the witcher 3. Fantastic fantastic game in terms of graphics, story, plot, characters.. Also it draws more on eastern european lore, so it's a nice change from the faux medieval England stuff we usually get.
Divinity is quite good too, but that's more of a turn based RPG.
It's a good thing for sure.. learning social skills, functioning as a team, competition, seeing hard work pay off etc -- these are just quaint, outdated notions that kids don't need to learn from playing team sports anymore.
Here and now in 2018 schools are helping to prepare kids for entry into the real world where yes, everyone is in fact a winner, and everyone gets the same reward for simply showing up. So yeah, sports are pointless.
Also obesity is just fat shaming, and pushing physical activity is just another form of body shaming perpetuated by a patriarchal society. I'm sure it's somehow racist as well.
As my boy gets older i'll definitely steer him towards pwning noobs on xbox live and watching anime.

Hey, Oregon is a pretty diverse state -- go east of ... roughly Hood River and you're basically in Texas.
Not that this matters much anyways; we're full. Though I hear Utah is wonderful.

I was joking. But, parent is not wrong.
civil forfeiture is wrong.
Aussies have a very long history of losing their freedom. In fact, it might be one of the defining characteristics of their country.

Sadly most practitioners will not perform laser removal on the scalp -- apparently the scarring risk is too great.
Which sucks. If I'm not going to have a full head of hair, at least let the rest of it fall out so i don't need to shave every other day.
weak chins and oddly shaped heads.
If you look somewhat masculine and have a nicely shaved head, yep go for it.
(otherwise; obviously men won't care.. but you'll be invisible to women if you shave your head or keep the balding look; so really it's up to you.)
Rule by Presidential Executive Order is OK with you?
what part of my post did you interpret as being in favor of rule by executive order. (hint: we probably agree more than we disagree on this issue)

My, how fun was sonic and all stars racing transformed? easily 300 hours on steam -- a sequel would be fantastic.

"We make more concrete than anything else, any other product, apart from clean water"
Obviously the best question to be asking is "can we live without it?"
Checks out.
