I'm still using Nova as it's so feature-rich. I've had 0 problems with it, but I had no idea people were dropping it. Also had no idea it for bought out either, so maybe it's time to look into using another launcher instead...

I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the "Stand Your Ground" law.

Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a "forcible felony" to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault. 

Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified. 

Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.

Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren't identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.

You'd better be a great shot though. And you'd probably get killed. At minimum for sure you're getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I'd like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.

Not only that, it makes zero sense.

If the rapture is real and God will ascend anyone true to the word, then by definition they would be sent straight to hell since they literally killed millions/billions of people.

I hope it never reaches Athens

Loss of biodiversity, climate change, more extreme weather events, ocean acidification, Gulfstream collapse, microplastics in literally everything, the rise of fascism, constant wars/oppression/genocides, everything being politicized and radicalized, capitalistic exploitation of consumers in every market, the mega-rich using their money to cause misery for profits, even more than I can think of right now.

Want more reasons why I don't want to raise my children into the world we are heading towards?

One could argue that the Internet and how we are now so interconnected is the cause of a lot of these things, but I think the biggest reason for it all stems from a lack of compassion. Compassion for fellow humans, compassion for fellow living creatures, compassion for the planet at live on.

What do you call Israel tankies? 🤔

You know, I really don't want to lump all Israelis together with their racist POS counterparts. But then I see this and I can't help but think all Israelis are like this.

Amazing to think only a couple of generations ago, they were on the receiving end of hate like this.

PFOA was banned, but PFOS and other very-slightly-different forever chemicals are not banned, therefore get around those regulations due to that technicality. Also, the current US administration is looking into removing a lot of those regulations.

Its like "winning" a boat or car. Great, you have this thing you couldn't afford. Now pay the taxes on it, that you can't afford.

But also, we all know Trump doesn't pay taxes.

Play the Uno Reverse! Push into Russian territory and annex as much of it as possible whine their forces are weakened

Like their whiskey!

The point is ALWAYS to save money. That's what got us here in the first place

As a Floridian, I apologize for giving the country Rubio (and DeSantis and Rick About). If I had it my way, these shit stains would've never amounted to anything. But alas, I'm but a single vote in a sea of red.

If it walks, talks, and violates human rights like a duck, I'm calling it a fucking duck.

ICE is the modern day Gestapo.

Not sure if that's a negative thing in their eyes though.

99% of my law problems are drug related

I don't think it'll have the same impact an American tariff would have. Ecuador only imports around $540 million worth of goods from Mexico. according to government data. The biggest single import was medication, represents only 12.6% of the goods that come from there.

Their version of a hellscape is one where straight white people arent treated as superior to everyone else.

You're right. Cartels forceibly take "protection" money from you and leave you alone. If you can't pay, they might kill you.

US Healthcare wont FORCE you to pay them. But even if you do, you still might die because whatever you're dying from isn't covered. Much less blood on their hands.

I think it's more accurate to say homophobic people have a mental illness
