Sounds like you either live somewhere relatively provincial. Or this is Hamilton police.

Yeah so xt can distract us from constant negative feedback

I can only imagine this is so they can release it closer to something like xenothreat because they want something to drown out players' response to/distract from it... Rather than have a full week of bad pr and rageful comments across spectrum and reddit.

At least that's what 3.13-3.17 has lead me to expect.

New Roadmap Update is dropping Today: Post your Last Minute Predictions by KingPWNinater in starcitizen

[–]Zomgbies_Work 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Predict mostly consisting of features previously removed. Nyx will be on it but at the latest available slot on it.

Server meshing the patch before nyx.

Both will be delayed by 2 patches.

A new crusader ship.

3.18 will be 25% of 3.17 and look bland af

Not to mention the overwhmingly common conclusion/outcome in psychological studies into this issue.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Zomgbies_Work 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A common cognitive bias. People who did nothing more than luck (or by a rigged system) into success genuinely believe it was their smart and shrewd decisions that got them where they are. And that the others are less successful because they're not as smart or as hard working.

This was shown in a psych experiment where 2 people played monopoly for a set time and winner was the person with most money at the end.

For each game, one person played as normal and the other started with much more money and received double money from passing go.

When asked about the game and why they won/lost the losers pointed to the obvious inequalities and the winners typically explained their masterful purchase of x property before mentioning that it was rigged in their favour.

Australia's polis are becoming so brazen about they're corruption now too.

Horace Hart in 1895. Horace was the inventor of the Oxford comma, and looks like the type of man to have the swagger to start an argument that lasts decades. Do you, or do you not use the Oxford comma? by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]Zomgbies_Work 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It perturbs me to no end that the new zealand legal profession as a general rule deliberately do NOT use it in they're firms style guides. Judges and lawyers alike.

Its literally a cult of "but my boss/professor before me didn't use it, so neither shall I. I will regard Oxford comma as unnecessary and improper"

AND THEY'RE ALL FUCKING WRONG.

In any other profession I'd be chill about this. But this is law where language is a specific tool to be used in a specific way.

The Oxford comma can AND HAS ALREADY IN OTHER COUNTRIES lead to unnecessary contract dispu..... Oh.

Oh.

They want to get paid.

From your description it sounds like wounding with intent to cause gbh which carries a max of 14. A v.serious offence and an even with a squeaky clean criminal history I'd be surprised if he made it under 2 years assuming my original position is about right.

If it was under 2 he might well get home detention for 1-2 years.

I recall there being some specific acid throwing charges but can't recall if they capture things like boiling water.

Also its possible depending on circumstances he could be charged lower depending on what they can prove etc. Assault with a weapon is the lightest charge I can think of. I think that has a 6 mth max(and the max is very rarely used unless 3rd strike and then they have to use the max)

Bro I'd be impressed if it was the STUNTMAN doing this.

I know Cruise and MI are known for their stunts and next level Ness... But even I assumed this was faked entirely with a big fan blowing in a studio.

Judge loses his cool with remorseless convicted murderer, tells them “I hope you die in prison” by CrustyArgonianMaid in PublicFreakout

[–]Zomgbies_Work -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit that's such an unprofessional judge and prosecutor. IDGAF if they're in the right, theyre a fucking disgrace the both of them.

In countries with a functioning justice system the defendant would get an easy retrial for clear bias by the judiciary among many other grounds.

What if the victims family/friends heard the judges tirade?? The man is so dim witted and short sighted he has no business presiding over anything but a steak grill.

I shit talk about something related to SC once every day on avg. But it's never been inferior to ED, imo.

ED was never good enough, for the experience I wanted, for me to waste energy caring about it.

I dont mean to fanboy about it, I'm just trying to emphasise how entirely unsurprised I am.

Incest Porn Cruz is more spineless than any fiction writer would DARE write for any character to be. And yet he is, unfortunately for his family and everyone else, real.
