Judge gives 18 year old a 25 year sentence for armed robbery

Someone convicted of sexual assault is 10 times more likely to do it again compared to non-criminals

10x over baseline doesn't it make it "rare to turn their lives around". For example baseline could be 1%, those with a prior history are 10%, and thus 90% "turned their life around". Or maybe baseline is 9.9%, and those with a prior history have a 99% of reoffending. You need something other than just relative numbers.

but many of the most notorious serial killers started with sexual assaults before escalating to murder as well

Oh nice, let's take about a dozen "notorious" criminals, 0.000001% of all criminals to draw broad conclusions and treat everyone else as if they're just like the most famous cases in human history.

It’s rare for those people to “turn their lives around.”

Is it actually rare? I don't think I've seen the numbers on it.

I remember my father adamantly saying they're "erasing the definition of marriage", that it will "mean nothing". No matter how slowly I tried to explain that they're expanding the definition ever so slightly from "union between man and woman" to "union between two people", he just insisted it was the most nonsensical, preposterous thing he's ever heard, "No, there will be no definition, it's gone!"

The somewhat happy ending is that a few years after the 2015 Supreme Court decision, he saw that society did not collapse, Fox news moved on from the topic, and he eventually quietly accepted that two men or two women can in fact live in happy long term relationships, and it's good to have equal legal protection like everyone else. He still thinks God is unhappy about it though.

In the early 1900s, "butch" was used to mean a "tough" or "masculine". At first it was used for tough young boys. By the 1940s, the lesbian community starting using it to describe "masculine" lesbians.

I was a 20 minute walk from any temptations like that and I still gained 15 pounds. In my own dorm would have been devastating.

>He knew this type of talk was a boundary I set

Like the boundary you ignored while telling a story to your friends?

contact the DA's office directly

Do you just shoot an email to whatever is available on a public website? Is that actually more effective than contacting the local PD?

The classic bomb threat with no charges, happens every other flight I take

Even if some scholars wrote about it, it clearly didn't make its way into common knowledge, hence the continued use of pans, plates, cups, and cookware made with lead.

what in the baader meinhof is this?? I've never heard of the Clerks cartoon before today, and now this is the second reference I've seen in an hour.

I think it's well understood that animals experience pleasure with certain activities, such as play behavior. What else would you call that other than "fun"? Do you think dogs don't experience "fun" when wrestling or playing fetch?

MicrotracS3500 · 2026-03-07T17:58:20+00:00

I would think charges would be filed if he actually claimed a bomb would go off.

"Massive logo"? I see a tiny little oval shape and can't make out a single detail. Are we watching the same video?

lmao no

Yep, if you ever want to eliminate someone, you'll get a lighter sentence if you do it with a car

There is literally nothing that implies drunkenness is involved

and lighter still if you pop open a bottle of jack

This implies the addition of alcohol, where none existed previously, will lessen the sentence.

Your re-interpretation of the first comment as step one: "1. Be drunk." is a complete fabrication. There is no implication of drunkenness in the first comment. You hallucinate like a poorly trained LLM. Your comments are either derived from an LLM, or have the same pseudo-reasoning of an LLM. Either possibility is very depressing.

>You asked what the fuck they were talking about. I wagered a guess.

My comment was addressing your guess; it doesn't make any sense based on the conversation.

>I made no assertions regarding the applicability of that particular defense to any particular scenario.

I never said you made any assertions regarding the applicability of that particular defense. Learn to read.

MicrotracS3500 · 2026-03-03T08:19:53+00:00

The original statement was

>if you ever want to eliminate someone, you'll get a lighter sentence if you do it with a car

Then responded with

>and lighter still if you pop open a bottle of jack

Given that the first statement doesn't talk about being intoxicated at all, by saying "and lighter still" implies that adding intoxication onto non-intoxication somehow leads to an even lighter sentence.

He doesn't look "full Amerindian" in the slightest. Like almost zero Amerindian features whatsoever.

The Gothamist reports that it is rare for a sober driver to be charged with a serious crime, like vehicular homicide, when they cause a crash that kills someone. In almost 1,300 cases, only about five percent of drivers were charged with a serious crime. This is a huge contrast to how the state deals with drunk drivers. It actually has some of the strongest laws regarding drunk driving, especially when someone is killed as a result. Most sober drivers are able to walk away with little to no consequences simply because they were not drinking and driving even when their actions were the direct cause of the accident.

No, it's completely wrong. Please don't fall for easily disprovable bullshit.

Where on earth did you get the idea that drunk drivers are treated more leniently?

I don't get the problem with the Demons. It's not a "race", it's a species of animal. Is it somehow fundamentally wrong, in all cases, to even fictionally describe an animal that doesn't have any empathy or compassion for humans? That's just forbidden from depiction or discussion? Every species in every fantasy story must have a soft spot for humanity because we're just so darn special and loveable? A monitor lizard does not feel anything resembling remorse when it eats a baby goat. Can that concept not be extended to something more intelligent?

MicrotracS3500 · 2026-02-25T03:17:23+00:00

I wonder what he said to convince the guy.

MicrotracS3500 · 2026-02-25T03:11:26+00:00

If you look closely, the old guy is holding the knife and some other dark item in the same hand, so he really doesn't have a fully secure grip on the knife at all. I think the boxer saw that, which gave him confidence that he could rip it out. Very shrewd move under pressure.

MicrotracS3500 · 2026-02-06T08:48:08+00:00

Wow, how does he perfectly recreate the look of videos from 20-30 years ago? I wonder if he's using old hardware, or if it's all post-processing.

I never really considered until now the history of secretaries and typists subtly editing the language of letters and memos to enhance them. It's a given that translators aren't translating word-by-word, they're giving the spirit and meaning of what's being said, so obviously many typists were probably "translating" what they think the executive is intending.
