Of course they all have a very Scottish accent- no hint of Africa in there.
It's a senior gift. Sounds like this class needs to just not give a gift to the school.
That's the part I take issue with. It's well established that you can't use someone's likeness without their permission to imply an endorsement of your product, they should have just stuck to the laws on that matter in their C&D.
By putting a statement like that in there they've converted this into a suppression of free speech issue when it should be a rather mundane unauthorized use of likeness case.
It doesn't make any sense, but you see it all the time.
There were a bunch of bicyclists protesting driver's not sharing the road a few years back where I live. They did so by blocking intersections and making a general pest of themselves.
Putting aside the fact that most people hate bicyclists because they're rude and don't follow any of the rules of the road themselves, all this did is pissed off everyone they encountered and didn't earn them any sympathy at all.
The strategy of making my problem with you a third party's problem by taking it out on them and hoping they will blame you instead of me has always been fucking retarded.
Crashdown. He ended up leading a group of survivors who crashed on Kobol and failing miserably. They had to murder him to prevent him from forcing them to all die in a suicide attack.
I think they're trying to say that he became edgier and cooler, but he seems like he just turned into an angry douche.
One of the strangest things about women is that they seem to inherently suck the joy out of others as just a core component of existing. They're not doing it to gain some advantage or to become happy themselves, it's simply a state of being for them and they're quite often just as miserable as they're making everyone else around them.
When did screenshotting tweets from random people become journalism?
These idiots probably consider that to be "researching" their article. The "article" being just a short synopsis of what the 30 tweets they're going to link say. Stop it, please.
Ah, the old "orange man bad" justification. Democracy doesn't work when those that control the levers of power abuse their position to persecute their political opponents.
Whether you like Trump or not, everything about that trial reeks of political persecution.
From the "creative" bootstrapping of misdemeanor charges into felonies by tying them to some other unindicted and unspecific felony, to the judges one-sided rulings, to the prosecutions star witness being a serial liar.
I think it's obvious enough that even some people on the left are uncomfortable with it.
I don't need an hour and a half video to tell me something I already knew from stories that are regularly posted here.
I think it's more a protection against them moving too far, too fast. There's always that thought in the back of their minds "is this going to be the thing that finally makes people snap and fight back?"
On the other hand, things like the Oklahoma City bombing, which was a retaliation for Waco, didn't involve guns at all. Presumably if the English wanted to rise up, they would be planting IEDs, stabbing cops in the back while they ate breakfast at a cafe, throwing acid in their faces, etc. and wouldn't be terribly disadvantaged by not having firearms.
The real issue is that they probably won't be in a uprising in either England or the US. The politicians are skilled at ratcheting back when needed, and allowing performative "debate" and controlled opposition.
valiantly trying to bring the injured dude out of reach of the terrorist
You can clearly see him throwing the white guy on the ground face first and he's sitting knees down on his back in the classic "I'm about to handcuff someone" pose when Johnny Turk stabs him.
There's no fucking way you can fool anyone who has seen that video into thinking he was trying to render aid. That's why they'll try and excise it from any form of mainstream news.
Yes, she's a great example of how far you can rise if you suck enough dick. Truly an example for America's youth.
Hate crimes are not bullshit because of intent.
But they are. While you're not wrong that intent is considered in charging and sentencing all the time, we're not talking about the difference between manslaughter and murder, we're talking about the difference between murder and murder with a "hate crime" enhancement.
It's not illegal to hate a group of people. It's not illegal to say the most horrid things about that group of people. It's not illegal to preach that you want that group of people eradicated from existence.
In fact, not only is it not illegal it's protected under the law. If the government were to punish you for saying any of these things it would be illegal suppression of free speech and 1st Amendment violations by the government are considered one of the worst trespasses it can commit.
All "hate crimes" are is an attempt to effectively criminalize something that they can't under the Constitution, and their very existence has a chilling effect on free speech. The government may not be able to punish you for saying you hate blacks/Jews/etc. but if you ever commit a crime against one, even if it's unrelated to your feelings towards that group, they have an extra punishment waiting for you.
It's frankly surreal that the government can say: "because you harbor beliefs that I am absolutely prohibited from punishing you for having- you get a harsher sentence" you can't logically combine an illegal act with a (specially protected) legal one and make it "mOR iLLeGaLEr".
WTF is "Mrs. Freeze"? I said it before: comics died circa 1995. You've got over half a century of good stuff to read from before then, so just pretend nothing after that even happened if you're a fan.
And the thunder thighs and man face on that thing- there isn't a single female character in video games that they don't want to make is repulsive as possible anymore.
Yes, that case was decided earlier this month, but it was a panel decision, meaning the government will appeal to an en banc hearing and the 9th will likely reverse, as has been their pattern. Then it's on to a SCOTUS appeal.
There's some other cases to watch that I think are more applicable to the specific circumstance here though: US v. Daniels, where the 5th decided last August that the provision of the law that says if you're a user of unlawful drugs you cannot own a firearm is unconstitutional. Daniels who's facing the same exact gun charge as in this case.
This is consistent with US v. Harrison a February case where an Oklahoma district court came to the same conclusion. However in August of last year, a district court judge in Iowa did convict somebody for violating the same exact provision in US Code. We're likely headed for a circuit split that will put this issue in front of SCOTUS.
It won't help these fools with the drug charges, but it wouldn't be surprised if by the end of their trials and appeals the gun charge gets dropped as a result of one of these other cases.
And that exact argument is currently bubbling up to scotus. Under the Bruen test there is no history, text, or tradition of barring drug users from possessing firearms in general.
Any analogous laws related to alcohol deal with the actual use of firearms while also under the influence, not possession in general.
Put more simply, while they may have made it illegal for the drunk to wave his gun around, nobody in the past would have thought it was okay to prevent him from owning a gun at all or use it when he was sober.
- Memphis Belle (1990)
Not at all accurate to their real last mission, but a pretty light film for a war movie with an uplifting feel.
"greetings fellow car racing enthusiasts..."
Are they really fans, or is it just people that jump into online forums and say they're fans?
We've seen this before with video games,, comic books, D&D, etc. Progressives claim to be fans and put the industry on blast that they need to be more "inclusive" because they're leaving so much money on the table, but the supposed expanded audience they get from changing their core business model never materializes.
I don't think they were ever fans to begin with, just agent provocateurs that saw a segment of society immune to their nonsense and decided to worm their way in to "fix" it.
You can take Sea of Thieves off that list, they opened it up to PS5 players a few weeks ago.
Honestly, of the games on that list I have actually played, all are high quality. The issue is that's just not enough to carry a console.
"menstrual leave"
Wow, for being a group of people who screamed up and down for over 50 years that you're the equal of men, you're sure interested in a lot of special privileges based on the fact that you aren't men.
Sea of Thieves is OK. There's lots of room for improvement, but I've played worse.
Women's suffrage is the single largest cause of the downfall of Western society. Behind every bullshit crazy political cause and unfathomably stupid decision is an army of women voters and politicians.
