And I'd agree with that. But if it's not settled in court, cops are allowed to pick and choose how they apply that.

I should read that again.

Jokes on them. If they cut tax revenue without a plan to cut costs, they'll waltz right into defunding the police without even meaning to.

So Indiana is a "stand your ground" state. That generally removes any duty to retreat. I'd be curious how they rule when he clearly retreated to his vehicle already, and only then retrieved a weapon, brandished it, and reentered a crowd. If they allow self defense, how far is someone allowed to retreat in order to retrieve a weapon and re-engage? Can I go all the way back to my house and get a gun to defend myself?

Of course this will only be litigated if the public can pressure the prosecutor to press charges. If not it'll be easy for the cops to disproportionately apply that defense to like minded miscreants.

It's not the opinion so much as the perceived judgement. No one would bat an eye if your opinion was simply that you couldn't see your life having any meaning without kids. But you go on further to say that you don't see how the lives of people choosing not to have kids has any meaning. Consider one of those families with more than a dozen kids looking down on you for not having enough kids. Saying they don't understand how your life has any meaning when you could still be having babies.

Prevention and rapid response measures would make it prohibitively expensive to manage. In this case the only injury was the driver. There was no way to prevent that once the crash was imminent. Truckers are already regulated to manage fatigue. The collapse might have actually been beneficial as they'd still likely need to completely remove and replace that section anyways. This way the rebuilding doesn't need to account for dismantling a damaged overpass still in the air.

Well that'll leave a mark. Wonder how soon the conspiracy theorists will give it the 9/11 treatment.

Initially the name was written as "Tom Human" (sans serif). As the alien could feel the humans staring more intently at him, he carefully connects the top of the "u" almost resembling an "o" and flashes his best approximation of the human gesture known as "smile". The clerk rolls his eyes, stamps the paperwork, and lazily gestures for the man to proceed. The clerk opens a new tab in his browser and types "Is Men In Black based on a true story."

I'm happy my in-group has an actual doctor. I love being able to ask her random questions and verifying things I've heard.

Look up the stock market around March 2020. Huge dip then rebound to pretty much the same trajectory. As long as you left your stuff to sit, you're still doing fine. There's no reason to think the massive rebound would have still occurred without the dip.

To be fair that can be out of context. I remember a Daily Show segment years ago showing a fox news clip of Obama saying something questionable. It was like only a sentence or two. Stewart, playing up how bad it sounded, asked to the ether if there was some context that could make that ok. The full statement, which fox cut out, was prefaced with the phrase "Now I'm not saying..."

His morning BM was cold. So was his morning Big Mac.

You'll read anything in a light most favorable to you. Even if that is objectively not what was meant.

That's Gazpacho!

You read that wrong. Try again.

So in typical MAGAt fashion, they cling to it being "technically" true even though it was false and corrected. They won't care that it's not true. They don't care about actual results. They just care about what mantra they have been fed and just regurgitate that. No obligation to the truth.

I, for one, welcome the new IED programs. Now I'm curious if there would be anyone that could stop trump from trying to erase any mention of that throughout the government and military.

Punitive damages.

Incorrect. They plainly state she is in fact accused of the sex act. They are only saying the mask wearing is alleged because they can't know that. They qualify that as that portion of the encounters doesn't seem to affect the criminal charges but certainly makes it a bit more WTF and a better headline.
