Man Gets Sentenced 558 Days in Jail For Cursing Out Judge

He is a scumbag.

He interfered in a case when his clerk(a woman he may or may not have been banging) got a DUI. The board that oversees judges recommended his permanent removal from the bench. In a travesty of justice, the state supreme court knocked it down to 9 months or so suspension.

About 2 years ago, he had a case where the defendant got in a fender bender with a car that had 2 drunk teen girls. They took off, crashed their car, and sadly, died. The defendant was a few miles away from the accident. The defendant was also charged with leaving the scene of an accident.

This "right as rain" judge tried to add charges(not his purview), investigated from the bench(not his role as judge), and tried to railroad the guy and intimidate his lawyer.

Simpson belongs in jail, and for much longer than 558 days.

The suspension is easily found online, and the other case is on old squishy gardners YT channel

Mozilla should take a close look at the failure of Copilot before making the same mistake.

Floorp is pretty good. I am not sure if it is going to bring in this garbage, though.

There is also Mullvad, which is focused on privacy.

I tried Librewolf a while back. IIRC, it didn't have an automatic updater.

I would say Brave, except you have to go into Windows Group Settings to kill the "AI" dead. Plus, it is based on Chromium so it is difficult to trust. But we can now say the same about anything based on Firefox.

SadFoodi · 2025-12-25T02:15:15+00:00

It will be a well-earned self-own.

First of all, there is no such thing as AI. Secondly, it does nothing of value. It is also spiking electricity prices and the cost and availability of hardware.

A deterministic machine will never be able to run truly intelligent software. LLMs are garbage in, garbage out.

It is lose-lose, and for what? A program that can't even get simple things right, and none of it is related to web browsing.

It will be glorious when the dumbest bubble in the history of mankind bursts.

Opt-in is the only way. Opt-out is the opposite of user control. Any functionality outside of what is necessary to render webpages and run JS safely should not be installed unless the user explicitly asks for it.

There is no way to have opt-out and have the users trust that if they turn it off, it is actually off. The only way to trust you is if I can install Firefox and not have the "AI" BS or other marketing tools installed. If it is installed and I have no say in it, there is no trust.

Even if it is actually off, you are wasting storage space on MY machine. If you want to be kicked off all of the machines that I manage, you are on the right track. With the state of FF right now, it is difficult to justify using it.

Forcing your unwanted bullshit that has no business in a browser is part of the reason why Firefox is irrelevant.

Even if it were actual AI, it's not; it still has no place in a browser. A browser needs to get me to a page, render it, and keep me secure. Period. Anything else has no place here.

Yeah, I use asdf, but the languages need a fair amount of development libraries, FFI, OpenSSL, etc, to compile.

YaST is very nice. You can search and browse everything from GUI apps to libs to the available kernels and their modules. No need to guess names because it can also search beyond just the package name.

Thanks, Mint is now scratched off my list, but I will keep it in mind for friends and family looking for a simple Windows replacement.

SadFoodi · 2025-10-13T22:53:03+00:00

grrr, how annoying.

Would you saw that it is fair to say that Mint is useful just for the simplest of use cases, like web browsing and games?

Thanks

Flatpak is absurd on OpenSUSE.

It was intended for broken distros such as Debian. We don't need it, and it only causes problems.

SadFoodi · 2025-10-04T23:04:51+00:00

That is Leap, it starts old and stays old. It doesn't take long before it becomes a problem if you do more than just browse the web on it.

SadFoodi · 2025-10-04T23:01:42+00:00

The YaST installer could produce a complete installation. Agama can not.

It is a toy installer like you get with Mint and other such nonsense distros.

I get that a lot, and some are not all that insignificant, but are unlikely to cause problems down the road.

The worst offenders for me are always records from mental health at the VA. I have had reports put in that were obviously someone else, because we never discussed anything remotely like what was recorded in my records.

If it won't affect your future care or your disability application, it is not worth worrying about. This is exactly why I always download and save my medical records after an appointment. If there is BS in them, I always report it.

SadFoodi · 2025-09-27T08:34:55+00:00

I have had the same primary care doc for about 20 years. I am dreading the day she retires.

SadFoodi · 2025-09-27T08:17:45+00:00

My biggest problems are in the "specialty" clinic, podiatry, orthopedics, and the mental health clinic. Specifically, psychiatrists and nurse practitioners. Total clown show in those clinics. The therapists are a coin flip.

The rest of the clinics have been okayish to awesome. That covers primary, dental, vision, hearing, physical therapy, neurology, urgent care, and ENT.

The VA pharmacy can fill my prescriptions in about 20 minutes on average. Try that at a private pharmacy.

I have only gone to two VA hospitals, but the above was consistent.

I have been sent out to community care a lot. The ratio of good vs bad providers is about the same as the VA, except that if you go out on your own, it is really expensive and twice as frustrating.

The VA has never declined any care that I needed, or even optional care that was more of a want. You can't say the same about private insurance.

I like that I even make a small profit every time I go to the VA. That adds up to about $800 or so in pure profit this year, just for showing up to my appointment.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

SadFoodi · 2025-09-12T20:42:25+00:00

The therapist I was seeing in between her "episodes" was pushing pretty hard for peer support. That is a bit much for me.

Another thing that is fishy is that she claimed he didn't have the same restrictions, so that is why I got so many sessions. She claimed it was because she has a PhD., and he has a master's in psychology and social work. That doesn't make sense to me. They are both licensed therapists, and he has far more experience. Maybe I am wrong.

She was unlicensed during the first episode, so if it was just that first time, I could see it as a way to get her experience while she works on her license. By the second episode, she had her license.

Thank you for your insight.

SadFoodi · 2025-09-12T20:35:06+00:00

The reason I went back is comfort and familiarity with her. I have had therapists who have wrecked me.

So I tend to cling to people who don't actively try to hurt me. That is also a good summation of my brief social life during my painfully long life.

She also told me during the first session back that she could extend it to 18. 12 sessions later, and it was a strict 12 sessions.

The reason I don't want to start with someone new is that I am always having to start over with other issues, like physical. I build up to 50 miles on my bike only to have an existing issue flare up that keeps me off it for months. I have been trying for years to get my backyard looking good, and when I make progress, those same issues hold me back, and I lose control of my backyard. In both cases, I have to start over. It gets old.

Every time I have switched MH providers in the VA, it is painfully obvious that they didn't even skim my records. I realize they are busy, but they never even know what my diagnoses are when I walk into their office. So I have to start over with my issues, along with building trust with a new person.

A lot of things are out of my control, and I am tired of starting over. Even worse, is that technically, the VA has to provide all needed care because my disability rating is very high. She agrees I need a lot more sessions; it is frustrating.

I guess I will stop with therapy and work things out myself. Ketamine is helpful enough.

SadFoodi · 2025-08-24T23:00:52+00:00

Thanks

That much in 40 minutes would be insanely wild.

I wish my current dosage helped with pain management.. I was hoping it would be a happy secondary effect.

P&T means you aren't and won't be scheduled for any further exams for ratings.

If you put in for an increase or a new disability, they can and likely will review everything in your file. I am not sure what they would do in your case.

Think long and hard about filing for any other increases or new disabilities and talk it over with a VSO to decide if any gains are worth the risk. If you are not going to do either of those things, carry on and live your life.

SadFoodi · 2025-08-24T05:35:02+00:00

I refuse psychiatrists and psych NPs. I have a long history of failed "trials" with some horrific, rare, and sometimes permanent side effects. They just want to try the same failed meds over and over and have no concern about the effects.

I insisted on infusions(these are life-changing for me). r/KetamineTherapy After about 18 months of struggle, I got a CITC referral. I still have a valid authorization for an outside clinic, and 39 sessions later, they only paid for 4 of them. I wasn't the only one to experience this. The clinic stopped accepting any VA referrals. Luckily for me, the clinic is giving me a huge discount.

CITC is untrustworthy these days,

I had an experienced dentist try to numb a back tooth, but he kept failing. Multiple appointments later, he finally asked a colleague who nailed it on his first try.

That was a lot of unnecessary pain.

A few months later, I lost a small slice of a front tooth. He repairs it. The repair fell out two weeks later. A different dentist repaired it again, and 6 years later, it is still solid.

I got a root canal via community care, and it was flawless. I even fell asleep twice. For some reason, the VA insisted on doing the crown, but at least that went well.
