if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

But also maybe a paralegal too tbh.

Or would that make the game show too unfair for the other three?

*co-signs*

The alarms should be ringing not just from the creation of this database, but also from the inevitable mistakes within it and secondary uses of it

Plus, when kids struggle or make mistakes, they're often treated like it must be due to something on their end or within their control (and attempts at explanation are summarily declared "excuses") when reality isn't always so simple.

Who is "prove me wrong[,]" and in what way did Truth hurt them?

Congrats!

Curious to get your thoughts on 1000xResist! Been watching a friend's playthrough and it's been a trip lmao

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

"If you got arrested then you weren't protesting peacefully" is a lie. Stop spreading it.

People are getting shot in the head with “less lethal” munitions. Press.

You think “church clothes” are going to save people?! They need HELMETS.

Also, the respectability bullshit can stop any time now. It doesn’t matter what any of these people are wearing, doing, saying- they are RIGHT.

Every person with a spectrum disorder has a more valuable life than RFK Jr, and every trans/nb person has a more valuable life than JK Rowling. You are a human with dignity and they are sunken demons

Wonderful names. Leeroy Jenkins gets me every time even after all these years lmao

I was having a shitty day, but this made me laugh and smile

Same.

Back in 2018, MAGA street fighters in Portland started showing up at events wearing “Pinochet did nothing wrong” t-shirts with positive references to helicopter rides and I thought “wow, they’re really out there.” Now sitting members of Congress are going there.

Some students went to the Indiana statehouse to discuss school shootings. A GOP state rep flashed his gun at them. Same rep has quoted Goebbels, posted racist stuff to social media, and said Uvalde was a hoax.

Oh, and he’s currently on probation for a DWI.

Backlash to transgender health care isn’t new − but the faulty science used to justify it has ch... For as long as trans medicine has been around, so has its opposition. The tactics of prior waves of anti-trans policies are still in play today.

Trans people's medical care has suffered three deaths: To Nazism and eugenics in the 1930s, to homophobia and misogyny in the 1970s, and the one it's suffering right now under white Christian nationalism in the 2020s.

SAME! I made it through the initial questions.

But when the topic of the charges at issue came up, the prosecutor really didn't like my answer to one of the questions about charges for lying to cops about a name.

And that was during my gap year between undergrad and law school.

Had a similar experience late last year. My then-gf got called for jury duty and made it onto the jury.

My curiosity about the trial drove me nuts.

Given political developments over there since then, it has unfortunately aged a bit too well IMO.

Yeah, dude was unhinged. And not in the good way!

Glad I'm not at that firm anymore. But looking for my next job suuuuuuucks.

I asked because a few years ago, I worked at an auto/personal injury firm whose owner has a Porsche wrapped in an ad for the firm (as far as I know, all of his vehicles are Porsches).

And he was the type of person who'd cut people off in traffic (he would do that in conversation too).

NGL, I've been thinking about learning Swedish at some point.

Was the car a Porsche?

I had a Sabaton playlist on repeat during finals during at least one semester of law school.

It's why I put a reference to "A Lifetime of War" in my outline for my Business Associations final haha
