  • Im suggesting that police will find the evidence that best fits the narrative they're trying to portray. If the phone helps their case, sure. If it doesn't, or contains evidence to the contrary, there's a decent chance it'll get "accidentally" misplaced if it's even collected at all. They're out to prove your guilt, not suggest your innocence.

  • Does the defense attorney go out to the scene, conduct interviews, photograph items of interest, or secure custody of any evidence gathered?

    It's the police that decide what is "evidence" and attorneys argue over what they found later. A good attorney might go out and look for some of those things after the fact, but the vast majority will not. You either gather your own evidence or roll the dice with the police actually doing their jobs.

  • Well no, because all those phone records show is that someone was using your phone at your house during x times to watch videos. There is no verification that it's actually you. Now, if we actually had face tracking technology to see whether or not you're actually watching ads, that could change. But as for right now, no.

  • Art deco.

    Use LotR to tell the difference. If it looks like it was made by the elves, it's art nouveau. It if looks like the dwarves cranked it out, it's art deco.

    Squares are a dead give away for dwarves. Knife ears don't like square corners.

  • There is no "international authority". It's all big stick politics out there. It's like trying to go after a corporation in the US. The "punishments" when they break the law are fines, if that, and any admonishment not to fuck over the same person in the same way again.

    Think about your boss shorting you $100. The "legal" process involves YEARS of waiting for a court date, a labor code interpreted heavily in favor of the employer, and at the end of the day, they get fines and maybe have to pay back what you rightfully earned in the first place.

    Now think about what happens when you steal $100 from work. Immediate police involvement, possible arrest, absolute legal consequences even if you're cleared years later, the presumption of guilt from everyone in society.

    It's even worse on a political stage. Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it's broken. Everyone just waits around until the collective consciousness supports some sort of social consequence on the offender in question. That's not even tying race or religion into the mix, which Israel loves to twist up into their particular brand of nationalism.

    The civil world is simply too polite to call them out for all their shit. It's a whole world full of chickenshit and I am tired of the stink.

  • I prefer audiobooks.

    As a welder, I don't really need my ears to do my job, so that frees me up to listen to stories at work. It's great. It's like a movie playing in my head while I zone out.

    There's also something very addicting about zoning out while holding something hotter than the surface of the sun in your hand, all casually and shit.

  • This is what so many people fail to understand.

    When your boss steals $100 from your paycheck, you're supposed to file a wage claim, wait years for your day in court, and even when you show that the company stole from you, the punishment for them is a small fine ($50 per person first time, $100 per person every time after that). You don't even get the fine. The fine is paid to the state.

    Now flip it around and imagine what happens when you steal $100 from the company. Immediate legal repercussions, multiple court dates, probation if you're lucky and jail if you're not.

    The entire system is designed to fuck people as hard as possible while reserving the kid gloves for corporations and oligarchs.

    I am gleefully awaiting the day protesters start disappearing federal agents/national guard. Fuck all fascists, even the ones "just following orders". No habeas corpus is a two way street motherfuckers

  • It's worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn't like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn't be used to "flee the area". Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.
