Wait, that's real? I saw that knocking around and thought it was parody. Dammit Poe!

Alphabet doesn't give guidance, so the "estimates" were numbers coming out of analyst's butts.

Shetaxis is defunct. It may never have really existed; as far as I can tell they disappeared off social media prior to their launch date.

You'll notice it's basically structurally intact despite the abuse. That costs money.

Taking opiates and cocaine or amphetamines at the same time is not all that uncommon. The dealers likely just fucked up and used too much fentanyl, or were using what they thought was heroin and turned out to be fortified with fentanyl.

Yeah, but when you've been getting your speed from a pharmacy it's a big step down to have to get it from some guy with an animal nickname in a back alley somewhere. Especially if you're some white-collar college student who has no idea how to do so without getting robbed.

"You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to request a final cigarette, but we won't give it to you. You have the right to a blindfold; actually, wear this hood, we don't want to look at you either."

They're not that dumb, they'd replace them with laws against discriminating against wimmin-n-minorities specifically.

It's r/antiwork, could just be fake. Most likely though is that someone screwed up and forgot they haven't gotten the laws against sex discrimination repealed just yet.

Contrary to popular belief, embassies and consulates are not literally extraterritorial. Whoever dragged the guy inside committed a crime, however, if they were consular staff they have diplomatic immunity and thus cannot be punished by the UK beyond expulsion. When the police entered the consular premises to drag the guy back out, THEY violated the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations: "The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission."

So yeah, this is a diplomatic cluster grenade. But it's likely the UK cop's head which will roll, since they committed a treaty violation against China.

Likely be found with two bullet holes in the back of the head, an obvious suicide.

Only the Supreme Court pays any attention to the Second. Most courts pay attention to the First; the Son of Sam law was ruled unconstitutional at every level.

I don't think a default final judgement is appealable; there's nothing for the appeals courts to examine. He's already lost a motion to set aside the default.

Another of those instances where I feel sure there was a Supreme Court case that went to the point.

Ah, yes, here it is, and it's even a New York case

Simon and Schuster, Inc. v. Members of New York State Crime Victims Board, 502 U.S. 105 (1991)

The Supreme Court unanimously struck down New York's "Son of Sam" law which made it illegal for the actual murderers to receive compensation from writing about their crime.

Metro areas? From what I always hear, it's the white people who go to the grocery stores. The black people in the city don't have any grocery stores because they were all run by racists who closed them (after losing too much to shrinkage) and have to buy sad vegetables at a liquor store that happens to sell food.

A similar amount went to a group based in the mid-Atlantic that will run a project to “leverage its supply chain aggregation capacity and technical assistance expertise to increase the wholesale readiness and representation of Black, Brown, and other farmers in the Mid-Atlantic region’s food aggregation supply chain.”

Wait, since when have management consultants become disadvantaged and underserved?

I know heaps of these people. They massively congregate to cities like this (and capitals, naturally), and constantly do nefarious, disruptive, but also entirely ineffective for their cause shit like this.

Sensing a pattern, yet? Lol...

Pattern, no. But I'm starting to wonder if maybe we have made inadequate use of Oppenheimer and Teller's greatest works.

Yeah, like 10 boxes of pseudoephederine should do it.
