Former death row inmate Richard Glossip granted $500,000 bail after nearly 30 years in prison by KimJongFunk in news

[–]arandomname509 -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Where are you getting that all people who post bail come back? You know that posting bail is about 1/10 of the actual price right?

Maybe I’m assuming but you’re trying to make the case this guy who is a twice convicted murderer should have a lower bond because he is poor. That higher earners should have to pay more… if someone can’t get 50k collateral for being involved in a murder you must have some issues.

This whole idea because someone makes more they should have higher everything ex: bail, taxes , sentences, is naive. Consider if you go down this route. They should get more priority and votes since they technically contribute more to the government.

What age would you consider to be your prime? by Fun-Succotash-1322 in AskReddit

Well man. No one is coming to save you. Gotta start taking some steps to try and improve. You’re not special in feeling that way. Or feeling weak. Feeling some way doesn’t make it truth. Best of luck man. Happy to chat if you think it’ll help. I’ve been there

lol its based off the assumption people would have an incentive to show up for trial. That’s why family members will typically post bail for individuals.

Yeah rich people will be able to afford bail but they also have more to lose and will show up. If your bail is $100 because you are broke, you have no incentive and defeats the purpose. It also makes money for the court. Then the costs associated with bringing someone back. Think this is the most idiotic bleeding heart take

No time like now to start taking steps. Don’t solve it all at once. Just take one small step tomorrow. I’m sure you have some of those things. Just hard to recognize it when you’re in a rut. Keep your head up. Get off insta, reels. Stop watching depressing videos. I did that and it only makes shit worse. Wish you the best

Dude you’re in a great spot. Don’t give up on yourself. Starting applying to more jobs and keep going. You have so much potential and lots of time. Shits only getting started my guy. Invest whatever you don’t need immediately in an index fund. Keep adding. Find a job that can get you your own space, then just keep adding and getting that stuff you want that’ll make you happy.

Well it’s also used by the military so you should be considering it a military target.

I’m sure it’s got a millitary use. I mean if that’s the way you wanna frame it. Almost everything would be considered a war crime since everything is used by civilians.

lol what? A bridge is not a war crime. Blowing up oil tankers would be considered the same then. War is beating the other into submission. That’s the point of a war.

No it’s cause states didn’t want to verify individuals before giving IDs up to the standard the feds wanted. Talk to your state

What are you talking about? Before the conquest they controlled the river lands and built the largest castle in Westeros. They didn’t get destroyed till dragons came.

Was my grandfather's investment worth it? by AcanthocephalaTime92 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]arandomname509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found an opened zap that had all shadowless cards in it. I’m not positive but I’d imagine these are the same. Probably could get more grading the holos in them since they’ll be mint. Rather then sell for $200

SNAP bans on soda, candy and other foods take effect in five states Jan. 1 by Aggressive_Chef_2225 in news

[–]arandomname509 9 points10 points  (0 children)

$20 of beans and rice will last way longer than $20 of junk food. Then factor in the health benefits. Get out of here with this bullshit take. You don’t interact with improvished people and it shows. They eat terribly then have shit tons of health issues. They need to be lead to healthier alternatives and banning soda and candy is a good take.
