That’s the logic that’s being used in the defense but it’s not necessarily true. If I were to engage a legitimate threat with a firearm but do so in a reckless manner, I would be justified in the shooting but not justified in the reckless Manor in which I discharge the weapon. That’s why carrying a firearm is such a responsibility and liability. In addition to having to determine what is and what is not a deadly threat you also have to know your surroundings and what is past your target. Generally, a bit more leeway is given once the shooting is justified, but in acquittal on criminal charges doesn’t justify the shooting. You acquittal on the other two charges just means there’s insufficient evidence to prove the crime. Having insufficient evidence to prove one crime does not mean that another cannot be proven. For those of you not in America who are trying to follow along, just don’t. It’s not worth the the headache.

You can put another check in your daily tally of being annoying and out of tune with the tone of a conversation in the name of your cause. Veganism is officially something I agree with but will avoid because I’m lazy and also because of how every thread on social media has to contain a tone-deaf post with veganism as the answer to the question. Becoming a stereotype is one way to get you all caps message out. Please combine it with annoying people into changing. Veganism is essentially synonymous with loudly interjecting yourself into every remotely related subject. At this point I am not sure if there are real vegans online or just trolls trying to make them look annoying. Yall are right, but your delivery needs work.

There isn’t really that much but customizing your experience is not the same as reddit so you see it all until you block instances.

I for one welcome my new meme, porn, and communism content overlords.

I can quickly, with minimal info, triage the work/inconvenience ratio of any given leisure activity and determine whether it is vaible as entertainment.

I had a guy tell me he has hemorrhoids while we were pumping gas at adjacent pumps. Nothing before, nothing after. He just said “hey man, I have the worst hemorrhoids”. I wasn’t in uniform or on duty (medic) and he didn’t ask for advice or ask say anything else. It was like an observation about the weather. Middle-age guy, nornal car, nonspecific clothes, and no other oddities. I thought maybe he was on a Bluetooth phone, but no, he was telling me. I just said “that sucks”, he nodded and we continued fueling our cars in silence.

Nothing. As long as people are scared of dying and other people are willing to profit from it, religion has a home

Several small flashlights that I can fit in my pocket. Having a flashlight better than your phone is incredibly convenient.

Same thing as the current race to the profit at the bottom of the septic tank that meta, twitter, and reddit are in now.

Only when a search engine points me to a very obviously correct and well worded answer to a tech problem. I don’t log in.

They didn’t force them to technically. They voided the original and left them with a choice of finding alternative means of transportation or buying an inflated ticket. If you violate the TOS of your transit ticket they can terminate the ticket agreement. It’s totally a scumbag move, but probably not a slam dunk lawsuit.

It would be like if you used a hack to get a cheaper uber and they refused to take you the rest of your ride until you paid without the hack. The hack may be totally legal, but within a private contract it constitutes a violation of your user agreement. Now you can walk, take the bus, hitchhike, rent a U-Haul, or whatever you want to continue the trip. But uber can say you aren’t going anywhere in an uber until you comply with their TOS. Again, scumbag Mr. Burns capitalism, but legal and unlikely to be worth civil litigation.

Ever since the “you can’t disable the fully charged notification” update that hit the same week as 5 unremovable apps with full phone permissions, I am done with Samsung. Such a scumbag way to remind you it’s not your phone.

I break them, then buy a new unlocked “last gen” phone cheap to replace it. I am usually one or two versions behind the “newest” phone, but I’m spending less than using carrier based device insurance. Phones have become like sunglasses to me. I don’t buy particularly nice ones because I just destroy them.

The medical professions are feeling this meme with you.

It is both slightly satisfying and somewhat terrifying that a single rich twat can buy the multinational media provider that he feels threatened by amd festroy it. It is even more concerning that we aren’t 100% sure if he’s trying to ruin it or just that bad at running it.
