We don't tax them because they are an end run around having universal healthcare paid through taxes. If it was taxed, we might just decide to go single payer through taxes instead and that would cut into insurance provider profits!

Nope.

Children tried as adults were sentenced to a little more than three years in prison on average for third-degree felonies — around 50% longer than the average sentence given to adults for the same class of offense. The vast majority of all felony charges are third-degree offenses, which are the lowest class of felony crimes and include burglary, some types of assault, drug possession and certain DUI offenses.

Children and adults had similar average sentences for more serious offenses that fall under first and second-degree felonies.

My personal phone is not linked to my computer. My work computer will never be linked to my work computer because I don't have a work provided mobile phone. I do expect this new menu to nag the shit out of me to link a phone based on prior Windows 'features'.

I don't use windows messages.

I see fewer icons in the preview image than I see on the start menu now.

This is far less useful than the existing menu, which is less useful than the windows 7 menu. This is like how they hid half the things I used on the right click menu under the 'show more' option.

I don't think it is anything specific, just support for the current approach the Harris/Walz campaign tactics and then to take it more seriously at the debate. Which is probably the plan already.

We have free range human trolls!

That van is straight fire.

Well, maybe not straight...

Just against pointless change.

Judge Aliyah Sabree, who has the No. 2 leadership post at the court, released a statement Wednesday night, saying King’s conduct “does not reflect the standards we uphold at 36th District Court.”

If someone does a thing and isn't stopped or reprimanded then their actions do reflect the standards because those things happened. If your court lets a judge treat a child like a criminal for falling asleep, that is who you are as a court.

Fuck anyone who says "this isn't who we are" and doesn't actually do anything to prove that is the case.

The lawyer shouldn't have a passport due to association with Trump suggesting they are complicit in the traitorous schemes.

I'll be over here hating then.

This is the Window 8 menu bullshit all over again.

If they didn't take that away.

Don't your servers run on phones?

The generic shock humor can be funny, the tragedy shouldn't be.

This is literally all the steps.

The only guide I remember using was a friends FF7 phone book sized thing that included how to breed chocobos and al the summons. After doing all the side stuff fisrst the final fight with Sepheroth was pretty underwhelming...

He also denied the results in 2016 when he won because he didn't win by whatever margin he thought he deserved.

Plus the excitement of risking an overdose!

For the record: An official from the Harris campaign said the policy would include “strict requirements to prevent hedge fund managers and lawyers from structuring their compensation in ways to try to take advantage of the policy.”

I'm sure they want to do that, but it will fail and be abused just like independent contract work, civil forfeiture, and everything else that has an intended specific use case that gets changed over time to be abused by the powerful. This approach will make it so anyone can claim a monetary exchange was a tip and put the burden on the government to prove it wasn't, which is just ripe for abuse the moment it becomes law.

Tips as someone's base income is a cancer on society. Just make companies pay living wages instead.

The First Amendment prohibits Congress from making laws that limit the freedom of speech, or of the press.

Unless it conflicts with someone else's rights, which is why laws against speech that incites violence is constitutional. Yes, you pointed it out later, but that undermines it being stated as directly as this sentence.

I'm not going to defend Valve because I haven't seen anything confirming why they banned Sean from multiplayer and it could have nothing to do with the story even if the timing could be inferred as a reason. But I will crap all over the article writer for what he wrote in the article.

For context, Sean is the only person who comes up in a search about being banned for sharing info about Deadlock despite many people doing so.

Sean said in the Verge article :

And I’m not under NDA. I have signed no contracts and made no verbal agreements; I haven’t even clicked through a EULA.

Then he has a picture with a thing that says not to share information about the game, and the caption is:

This message does pop up when I launch Deadlock, but I didn’t click “OK”; instead, I hit the Escape key and watched it disappear. Screenshot by Sean Hollister / The Verge

Sean is being an absolute pedantic tool. Saying that there was no agreements because he used the escape key to get past a message saying to not share information is what lawyers do for technicalities, not what journalists should brag about in an article where they clearly understood that they were not supposed to share the information. They could have said that they had an obligation as a journalist or some other positive thing, but instead did the equivalent of eating free bread at a restaurant and then leaving without buying anything because the menu doesn't say you have to.

When I saw Sean was banned after writing the article my first thought was 'This tool probably got himself banned by doing some jerk thing in game, since he clearly hates being told not to do something." I do not expect Valve to respond to the article, since they aren't as petty as Sean, so all the public will get is his assumption that the article lead to his ban.
