An investigation by the Oklahoma Supreme Court Council on Judicial Complaints found Soderstrom mocked prosecutors, laughed at the bailiff’s comment about a prosecutor’s genitals, praised the defense attorney and called the key prosecution witness a liar

And the cell phone is the headline. This country is fully corrupt.

These comments give Alexa way too much credit. You all realize the way Alexa grabs facts is usually just by reading the first Bing search result, right?

I have been repeatedly disgusted by Israel's treatment of Palestinians and I also believe what Hamas did was wrong.

Sorry the world is not as black and white as you desperately wish it was.

Shut up Russian bot

Nope it doesn't. They didn't rape the women at the music festival because of the Israeli bombs. They did it because they're monsters and they enjoyed it.

I really like that plating

The people affected here aren't "Israel". They're just civilians trying to live their lives. Believe me I hate the Israeli govermnet and am very sympathetic to Palestinian soverignty.

NOTHING justifies terrorism. It's evil and the people who did this are rats

Edit: yeah downvote me you sacks of shit. They raped women next to dead bodies of their friends.

Jesus you're dumb

TV show Narcos on Netflix.

I use foundry and love it.

I have it highly configured - content is imported from DNDBeyond. Combat is mostly automated. The players choose a target and click their attack or spell, and Foundry automatically rolls the attack, compares against AC and auto-rolls and applies damage on a hit. AOE effects let the player place a template.

Handouts are neatly organized in the Journal tab and I also make playlists that auto play when I move us to a new scene (e.g. activating a random encounter scene starts my combat playlist on shuffle).

My players love it. With that said, I'm a software developer by profession, and all these things take a ton of work to get going and can be buggy at times.

Other non 5E games sometimes have great official support on Foundry, but for 5E you're on your own.

Thanks for explaining it, I'm too exhausted to deal with these morons anymore.

If you rob a bank and get caught in the middle, does that mean it's not a crime?

It doesn't matter if he was successful or incompetent, a crime is a crime.

Sure - so the way they hired was completely discriminatory.

They wanted to hire people based on looks so customers would only see attractive white people working there and maybe one token of each other race. But thats completely illegal. So they got around this by recruiting people on the street.

They'd send someone onto the streets of NYC to walk up to people they wanted and offer them jobs. They'd also list the positions, but would auto-decline anyone who applied. That way they could pick the looks they wanted and show everyone who tried to apply and didn't "fit" the door.

The managers were also insane. Most had drunk the Kool Aid and were so obsessed with Abercrombie they genuinely believed that being a retail store manager was something exclusive to be proud of. They expected the same attitude from everyone. They would invite employees to drink after work and then note who didn't wear Abercrombie outside of work, then give them the worst shifts.

They also threatened to fire me multiple times for going off script - saying things like "hi" to customers instead of "hey how's it going?" One time an exec came in with a suitcase. I was on greeter duty and thought they were a customer so I tried to engage and ask about their travel. They wordlessly stared daggers at me then went straight to the manager to have me fired. No idea why I wasn't, but they acted like they had just saved my life by letting me keep my crappy retail job.

That was one of those jobs where I didn't quit, I just stopped showing up.

I worked at an Abercrombie in college and it was just as exploitative as it sounds. We had to wear Abercrombie-only clothing to work and... you guessed it - they didn't provide it. We had to buy it. As if that weren't bad enough, it had to be "in season", which meant they forced us to buy a new outfit every quarter for the priviledge to work minimum wage retail. They claimed we could choose instead to wear "equivalent" clothing if we didn't want to pay. I once wore reef leather flip flops and they made me cut the 1cm rubber tags off before letting me on the floor.

They ended up getting sued for this practice and about 10 years later I got a settlement check for $7.

I have plenty of other crazy blood boiling stories from that job.

Damn this happened to me last month and just today I got pissed looking for my Chex Mix.

Its not black and white.

Here's a thought experiment: since streets are public places, would you be willing to wear a lapel mic every time you leave your house that records everything you say in public and gives access to every megacorporation and government?

Does that make you feel kind of weird? Well this is the same situation. Just because its a public place, doesn't mean things can't still feel invasive.
