I remember one time when my dad renewed his car’s tags they misspelled his name on one of the forms and he only noticed after he was leaving.
It took another 30 minutes to sign paperwork confirming that (for example) ‘Austin’ and ‘Austyn’ are the same person, and that this was not intended to cause fraud. I can imagine someone seeing/experiencing that for the first time and thinking they found the perfect loophole.
Yeah, turns out moderating user generated content to guarantee it being safe for children is expensive.

It’s only a little funny seeing just how many people in attendance were actually black.
I still want journalists to get definitive answers on things like, ‘Who gets custody?’ ‘How much child support is necessary for an embryo?’ ‘If life begins at conception, does this mean an embryo frozen for 21 years that is implanted and born can drink alcohol from a baby bottle since they’re technically ‘of age’?’
There are so many STUPID repercussions from this ruling, and there’s no logical explanation for it all. It’s the beginning of the end of the separation of church and state.
36-3-301(a)(2): Persons receiving online ordinations may not solemnize the rite of matrimony.
They already thought of that.
Yeah… almost like they’re stuck in a cycle of poverty and can’t save enough money for a down payment for a house either.
So ‘funny’.
The most terrifying aspect is that it isn’t just gay marriage at stake here - Interracial marriages, atheist marriages, inter-abled marriages… ALL marriages are at risk if a person you’ve never met won’t sign a piece of paper.
As someone who did, I understand the sentiment but it isn’t that easy. I have so many friends and family members who are stuck there because they can’t save enough resources to leave.
We should refer to him as a convicted rapist all the time.
lmao, no.
It was specifically written after the civil war so that the South could still technically have slavery, they just have to criminalize and convict a person first. It’s how we get the ‘war on drugs’ where even though black and white populations smoke around the same amount, black populations were criminalized FAR harsher, and sent to prison far more often. It’s exactly “Rules for thee, but not for me” on a grand scale where white people would likely ‘get a pass’ for their first arrest. That grace was not extended to black populations, and so we’re back at having slavery with extra steps.
It’s a nice thought that it just happened over time by accident, but in reality it was planned like this.
So, openly admitting it was “quid pro quo”. Cool.
Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules… we don’t have a democracy anymore.
“So Mr. Chairman, you’re saying because you think Sen. Grassley violated the rule, you’re going to violate the rule?” [Sen. John Kennedy] asked.
“It’s called precedent, senator,” replied Durbin.
Seriously - the most dangerous roads I’ve ever been on were in Texas where there were 12 lane highways, and crazy people who wanted to drive 100MPH past you in the right-hand lane, all while people are merging on and off the highway.
Doing the speed limit meant that EVERYONE was driving faster than you, which meant that you were a lot more likely to get rear-ended from someone who didn’t see you in time. You have to speed to stay safe, and then you add in construction zones and it’s just a death trap.
Where is our public transportation option?
Or better yet - don’t interview him at all. Do an exposé piece on him that details everything and run it primarily in his district if you want to actually affect change.
The fact that he’s being interviewed only adds to his credibility, and no matter what happens here, people are going to think he’s just misunderstood, since “He’d be in jail if this were all true, right?”
He should be.
I dunno, He seems pretty incapable of doing the work. I doubt he could even understand the job, considering he ‘won against Obama in 2016’ and ‘is worried about Biden causing world war II’
They also say that ‘They do not want to track users across devices, so each device will count individually’. They say you can appeal large charges, but only if you can prove that it’s a botnet or bad-faith actors. If it looks like random data, the developers are stuck with the bill.
Something which, notably, happens on around 1% of all applications, but is prosecuted less than 0.000005% of the time.
From 2008 - 2012 there were 32 million background checks, and 373,900 rejections.
Between FY 2008 and FY 2015, an 8-year period, ATF formally referred 509 NICS denial
cases that included 558 subjects to USAOs for possible prosecution. The USAOs
accepted for consideration of prosecution 254 subjects (or less than 32 subjects per
year) and declined to prosecute 272 subjects.
32 prosecutions a year for an average of 6 million background checks (completed, there is a much larger number for bg checks initiated)
‘Boss’ is a pretty good one for someone you’re trying to show respect to. ‘Buddy’ is good if you’re on an even field.
Seriously. The recent story of just how many people have died from the cops ‘giving them something to calm them down’ is insane. If you’re not my doctor, you don’t get to dose me with anything.
