  • OP won't reply to this one...

  • Sure, for all practical purposes it can be, but unlike a penalty like a speeding ticket, you can get your money back if you show up.

  • In a practical sense, it does work as you say, and can prevent the poor from obtaining bail. The system wasn't explicitly designed that way, and rich people who are dangerous to the community can get super high bail set as well. Source: I'm a lawyer

  • It's only to assure the accused comes back to face the charges. It isn't a penalty. Otherwise, the thinking goes, the defendant will have no reason to come back and face the court. This was probably extra true around the time of the founding of the US, when someone could more easily slip away and start a new life

  • Don’t get me wrong - I’m absolutely happy that this game is doing well, that people love it, that it isn’t exploitative, etc. those are all great things.

    But do we need a daily article essentially restating the same thing?

  • RIP, King. 👑

  • No, but not because he's anti abortion, but because he's a cheap bastard

  • Grim and heartbreaking. Good book though.

  • More and more, the existence of people like MTG makes me think we are living in a simulation, and some teenaged alien is laughing his ass off and showing his friends how ridiculous this particular simulation has gotten.

  • They should. Send Abbott a bill for polluting their waterway too, while they're at it.

  • Actually, you're right. I take that back. I let my personal dislike for the game override my thought processes. There are plenty of people who like the game, as odd as I find that fact.

  • It's huge in popular culture because of the source filmmaker porn. Certainly not the game itself.

  • Just in case anyone else, like me, was curious:

    Shoulder dystocia is a condition that happens when one or both of your baby's shoulders get stuck during vaginal delivery. There are no signs and no way to prevent the condition. Causes may include having a large baby, having a small pelvis or being in the wrong position

  • Dude has 216 shares, out of 460.9 million outstanding shares of Target. Even if Target has to pay for the loss of value in share price (they won't), they could pay this dude without breaking a sweat. Also, Stephen Miller is a Nazi.

  • I usually replace old socks though, unlike Dianne.

  • First they turn the frogs gay, then the inmates! What's next?
