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.

  1. 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.

That link points to the dev updates page. The game feedback and general discussion pages are still active.

However, I've been poking my head in there the past couple days and they are aggressively deleting any posts that mention SBI/DEI consultants and criticism of the community manager and forum mods.

There's still a lot of posts just saying the game is shit overall.

That was the original plan, but the game morphed into the abortion you see today. I played the open beta and just turn it off after about 30 minutes. There's nothing enjoyable about it.

Anytime I see the word "dog whistle" I want to punch the person who typed it in the throat.

People don't want to buy games SBI has been involved with. The details why don't really matter. It's a legitimate question to ask the publisher if SBI was involved in the game so you can make a purchasing decision.

Now, if they attack you for asking, like this guy did, it isn't really relevant anymore to me. Now I neither want any game SBI was involved with or was published by you, because you're an asshole.

I made it 3 minutes without any important facts being presented, so I quit watching. I fucking hate YouTube and this shift to having everything as a TV show length video. Just write an article or a blog entry.

What I wanted to know is the details on them refusing to surrender her funds. It's not well known, but banks can delay posting deposits over a certain amount to your account and they can probably delay withdrawals just as long. It would be in their terms and conditions. I wanted to know if this was the case or they were legitimately trying to seize her funds

I have no desire to cause complications or bring unwanted attention to the school,

Why the fuck not? I mean, first there is the fact that they fired you, so you should probably want a little bit of revenge. Secondly, this sort of shit will only stop if these places receive overwhelmingly negative media attention and lose money through lawsuits.

Notice he's doing that shit in Europe. I bet things would turn violent pretty quick if he was doing it in America.

Probably because they were minors, it was a high school track meet.

Still, there's no law that says they have to blur them, so it would have to be a station policy. The real question is if they do that whenever minors are filmed or only for this. That would be a tip off that they're shielding trannies.

Ugh, I was watching TV this week and they had a story about a track meet nearby and play the film of some male tranny just blowing by all the female runners and winning first place. They blurred their faces but it was fucking ridiculous to see that dude on the winner's podium getting his first place medal.

This sort of nonsense is routine by now, and everyone with half a brain realizes it's absolutely ridiculous. I know this is being aggressively pushed by the elites and leftist parties worldwide, but I still don't understand why. These freaks represent an incredibly tiny percentage of the population, and have always been treated as people with a mental illness until the last few years. Why are they suddenly supposed to be the stars of the show?

The world would be better if the Israelis and Palestinians all killed each other. If there was some way to push all the trannies into the mix and get rid of them too, I would.

The concept was vampires take over a New England town, so it had potential. There's four characters you can choose from (only one of which being a white male). So you don't see afro chick at all if you don't pick her and play alone.

I played it for a couple days because it was on Game Pass. Other than NPCs in the bases, the town is completely deserted, so the entire town is like 20 people with only a few of those being quest givers. The majority of the story is told from notes and shit you find lying around.

Then the enemies were stupid retarded, like attacking nothing or standing there while you beat them to death retarded.

The whole thing reeked of corporate design by committee AAA titles.

Redfall’s previous update will be its last as we end all development on the game.

I didn't realize the updated this game at all. It pretty much was DOA.

Who cares. Women are stupid and say stupid things. "Ooh, it would be alone in a forest with a bear than a man" is just their sad version of an edge lord shit post. That an army of them keep reposting it like a bunch of seals barking on command is just for the proof of their stupidity.

Have there been any legal challenges to anti-boycott laws? Freedom of association, or nonassociation, is a core component of freedom of speech. It seems like these laws would be immediately struck down on challenge.

It seems like they're trying to cloud the issue and inappropriately intertwine it with foreign interference laws by not outright prohibiting boycotts of US ally states, but only when they are "encouraged or supported by a foreign state". Just because some country and I both happen to decide to boycott Israel doesn't mean there's any coordination between us or that I just didn't happen to come to the same decision they did independently.

Hey, we may have slipped to a third world equivalent in math, reading, and science, but at least we're still number one in something...
