Consent doesn’t matter to rich people. It’s not exclusive to Musk.

Traffic court, while yes it’s a court of law, is a bit more relaxed. Judges have far more leeway and they have a long docket.

You’re not the only one being seen and the judge wants to go home on time.

Be honest, courteous. In the rare event that the police officer starts saying things that are completely egregious, plead the fifth and ask for a continuance. Tell the judge that these facts are new to you and you’ll need time to assert a defense.

The judge may ask what you thought the charges were. Say something along the lines of, “Without waiving my fifth amendment right to self incrimination, my understanding is that I’m being charged for driving with an expired license.”

But this should be rare. Judges don’t like surprises either.

Again, remember that this is traffic court. Everyone is busy. If you’re a dick, they won’t have patience for you.

Or it’s just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.

Have it on in the background.

I never fully understood Katherine Heigl’s character and her point in the plot.

It’s decent. Not great.

The difference is that Hitler did it to solidify power within himself.

Biden would be doing it to solidify power within the People. Basically he would gain power to diffuse it. That’s why I called him the Sacrificial Lamb.

There will always be populous movements and a desire to concentrate power within the elites. But we can make it more difficult to do so.

You say this as if the next Republican president won’t do this.

The best way to fix this is with Biden being the sacrificial lamb.

Basically he executes Trump via executive order, executes the conservative justices, all standing Republicans in the Senate. Then get enough states to pass referendums for a constitutional convention.

Do the overhaul of the constitution, solidifying human rights, separation of church from state, making fascism treason, make billionaires illegal, and, for kicks, universal healthcare.

Hey, don’t wake me up from this dream, okay?

The article doesn’t go into this but I am dying to know: why does the speaker of their legislative branch have the power to sign the bill into law?

There’s no mention of overriding veto.

Anyone familiar enough with the internal politics of Georgia?

Taxiing!

With a landing/take off, there’s a likelihood (maybe small) that the plane could be traveling fast enough to avoid the bulk of the blast.

Taxiing, there’s no way.

I guess the location of the menu never really bothered me but I can understand that for folks who prefer it on the side.

Admittedly, using a local account is a challenge though not impossible. But to your point none of these things should require registry hacks.

I’ve been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it’s terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what’s different about it from Win10?

I don’t see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.

They’re not going to survive

Are you kidding me?

Alexander Bell stole the telephone.

Edison regularly stole inventions from Tesla among others.

Steve Jobs fucking mind raped Woz.

The American Dream is taking someone else’s hard work and profiting off of it.

I say it to people who are trying to understand why Trump has a following. It’s not because he’s smart or a great businessman.

It’s because he’s racist. I love Jon Stewart but his message of trying to help liberals understand Trump’s acolytes misses the mark.

We don’t need to spend more time debating why people like him.

People like Trump because, and I say this again for people who missed it the first time, he is a fucking racist.

I feel like I’m saying this every day…

His supporters only care that he’s a racist.

They don’t care about his record.

They only care that he’s racist like them.

Ah. Razzleberry. That’ll do it

I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

If I’m going through the trouble of self hosting one, it better be open source.

I mean…

Your insurance should have a nurse line. If not, your company likely has a employee assistance program (EAP) that might be able triage.

They are likely mad that their kid misses the bus which makes them late to work which makes them fall behind.

Not defending asshole behavior but I’ve seen enough parents race through my small neighborhood to drop off their kid at the bus stop.

It’s one of the reasons why I hate license proliferation. These custom licenses aren’t tested against case law so if they think you’re in violation you have to defend yourself.

The only way to give these assholes a run for their money is for people to start forking the project and ignoring any terms that are in violation of the GitHub TOS.
