I miss the days when satire was fake

It’s a battle of evolution: we lost our ability to do that, but have a decent reflex to catch ourselves from danger. It’s why I don’t fall off a bed. Even when that bed is a hammock on top of a tree.

Cool! I’m not entirely sure because I know little about it, but you may have actually brought up a valid point! It’s a shame we had to climb a mountain of snark and smartassery to get to that possibility.

Can you wake up?

In Korea they say not to leave a fan running overnight. Why? Because it will blow the oxygen away and you’ll suffocate.

Doesn’t mean it’s true.

Well, that’s a brand new sentence!

I feel like bread’s limited shelf life, and all the nasties that accumulate in a normal mattress from normal use, would make this idea fucking disgusting. Just leave a loaf of bread on your nightstand like a normal person.

When the Denver Post got bought out by a private equity company (you know how that goes), a bunch of journalists from there got together to create the Colorado Sun. It operates on a model similar to NPR/PBS, except federal/Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding was never a thing to begin with.

I’m not sure how well it’s working, but well enough that they’re still around after several years!

I’ve been saying this for ages and is refreshing to hear it from someone else for once! I’ve also learned the term “dummymander”

No. Grand juries are used when a prosecutor wants to bring a certain level of charges against someone. The prosecutor basically shows the evidence they have that would justify a case, and they sign off on the indictment (charges). While a trial is not a sure thing for either side, grand jury proceedings are basically a formality and it’s not uncommon for a prosecutor to go their entire career without failing to get a grand jury indictment.

If an officer-involved shooting is justified and there’s no reason to bring charges, there’s no reason to get a grand jury involved either.

Lately I’ve been watching Noel Phillips videos on YouTube. He’s an airline geek (as am I) and has been to some really unique places - some are interesting places on different continent, some just random remote airports in the middle of American nowhere.

“thank you?”

Soo, extortion?

Changing minds is meaningless if there is no systemic change.

Sure, but systemic change is that much harder to achieve if nobody wants that change

AG could be alright. Other than that his experience is amazingly in-depth in very specific areas but lacking breadth.

Plus there can at least be a veil of nonpartisanship if he doesn’t run. I don’t know his political background and honestly don’t care to.

Yeah? Re-read my comment. I said it helps disprove the myth that they aren’t.

And if that’s not enough for him, millimeters! Also it’s probably in area, not length, so the numbers increase exponentially

I disagree. It really disproves the myth that they’re going after criminals only, that there isn’t racial profiling going on, or that they’re going off of targeted lists. Basically, it’s so bad it can be used to reduce support for ICE, and we need that right now.
