This is in Canada not the US.

They definitely aren't. They just passed an anti-lgbt bill and the next day a well known trans woman was stabbed to death.

They should all do the seagull thing for like the first lap of every race until they back down, except they should say fuck.

Guess we need to give a fuck to give some fucks.

I have one of these and a dumper.

I took all of the games we have and dumped them onto an SD card. I use it for the second switch we have that our kid uses.

No messing about with swapping cartridges and taking a chance on losing one, which has already happened once.

I ended up with a V2 which is even better. No wear and tear from popping the cartridge in and out and all the games on it.

Aside from the "inconvenience" of having to push the button to roll through the games, it was worth it.

.ml here, I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.

Granted I knew nothing of the differences between .ml, hexbear, etc at the time I joined, and still kinda don't. To be fair I question what the hell im doing half the time anyway lmao.

Maybe someone that is a little more involved in the different servers could shine some light? Cause man I get frustrated seeing some of the stuff I do, even when I try to tailor my feed to certain subs it still bleeds through lol.

As much as I don't want to agree, I partially do agree with your first statement and hope (regardless of how little faith I have in the justice system) that they are intentionally doing this so they can let the can of worms open if he loses and then take every single person they can down with him when they try to derail the results and attempt a 2nd coup.

It would be the icing on the cake, like you lost and you made a second attempt at it, there's no fucking back tracking and now we have even more people that came out of the woods to help you and we are going to take you all down.

They could put him in jail now, but corruption is rampant, but maybe (sliver of hope) there is some quiet digging of graves for these people to fall into.

It's not, but you only pointed out xenophobia as the cause.

I'm opening the door a little and pointing out that it's much bigger than just xenophobia that's all.

Having lived there for almost 10 years, most of it as a "local", they also have a very real problem of foreigners coming there and destroying apartments or racking up debt and just leaving.

There's more going on obviously, like the xenophobia you mention, and just straight up racism, and probably other things. So it's a little more than just a cultural problem but that is a decent chunk of it.

I'm curious about the stick drift thing.

I have 3 controllers, two of which I've had since maybe 6 months after the PS5 was released since that's about how long it took me to get one.

Both controllers have a few hundred hours on them, neither have stick drift. The third one doesn't have nearly the amount of hours on it since my kid spilled juice on it and I procrastinated for a few months to take it apart and clean it lol so I'm not considering that one.

Is it really that bad or did I just get lucky? These things are almost 4 years old and still work perfectly fine.

Just a note for those interested in the local play aspect of it like I was.

You don't need to create an account to play the game locally.

You can just exit out of the first menu and play the scenarios that are available.

I was considering that, but was reluctant to do it without any advice since I don't know enough about the Deck and how it works other than it runs on a variant of Arch.

After your comment I did try it and it worked.

Thank you!

On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.

Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn't accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don't know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.

Did you read the article?

He was already a special needs student with an apparently individualized education program. This doesn't sound like a "Why now?" Situation. It sounds a bit like there may be more going on, especially since the school district declined to answer when questioned about it.

You may be right that it's probably not the first sign of aggression but he's also autistic with other issues. Do you know how expensive it is to get help, how our healthcare/insurance system preys on people to take their money rather than help them, and the likelihood of this family maybe not being able to help more than they already were?

I feel sorry for the person that he hurt, but this is a mentally ill black kid getting tossed in prison because of a mental illness. Which is going to ruin him just like you said.

The judge saying he showed no remorse is bs used to paint this kid in the worst light. Well no fucking shit he showed no remorse, if he's got a bunch of mental problems that would make sense. I knew a kid growing up that was similar, he was extremely strong and even the slightest thing could set him on a rampage. His parents drained everything they had into helping him, but it wasn't enough. When the insurance stops paying what are you going to do?

I'm not saying that nothing should be done but there's more to this than "parents failed the kid with mental disabilities".

Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn't support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

It's also cheap.

I've been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.

Yeah, it sounds like some reform to the process should be made.

I don't necessarily disagree with having child welfare involved, just how they handle things might be a bit (or a lot) on the iffy side.

This is where you get to an impasse though, the procedures are possibly (I say possibly because I don't know the history there) the way they are because people complained of not getting enough help, so the rules were changed to become more involved to better protect those needing help. Now it's too much so people are up in arms again.

So often victims of domestic abuse go back to that situation, whether it be fear, love, pain, or whatever other reason there is. There is a reason for "but we simply don't trust you to stick to that decision".

There isn't a cut and dry solution to problems like this. It doesn't really matter which direction they go, there will always be people screaming about not doing enough, or doing too much etc.

They may be legally required to tell the abuser what is going on... I mean, how can you serve a no contact order without telling the accused.

There is a ton of work to unfold here, so many things that are in place for a reason, as unreasonable as it may seem. It will always be a work in process with such sensitive situations.

I'm from the States and have spent a more than a decade living in other countries, and have had plenty of time to see how people around the world interact with their (and other people's) children. I have to agree with you that this really doesn't seem like a big deal.

It looks really bad from a western perspective, especially for people that have no understanding of other cultures.

Do I agree with it, no. That's just my personal preference though. He didn't backhand, punch, or otherwise harm the child, and the child didn't even seem phased by it.

Had he done this in a country other than Turkey it may be newsworthy, this just seems like rage bait.

So why can't we call this what it is.

An attempt at election interference and throw his ass in prison for treason. For such a high profile person it should be considered no less.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense. To be fair though, I rarely saw any Subarus when I lived down south, but once I moved out west they are pretty much all over. So it's not beyond the realm of having different distributions of cars in different areas.
