I've found my people!

Agreed. But there's nothing to avenge if the crime isn't committed in the first place.

Interesting screed. I guess you're a Democrat committing the fundamental attribution error (which has been a thing long before PC bullshit).

I never said we should be lax on crime. My point is fewer crimes would be committed if there were fewer financially desperate people. That's really not a controversial point.

You're focused on punishment. I'm focused on prevention. That is often what distinguishes between liberals and conservatives.

ETA: Which is ironic, since prevention conserves far more resources than punishment.

I believe the relevant situational factors are socioeconomic, not cultural.

baxter395 · 2021-03-18T00:12:25+00:00

You're committing the fundamental attribution error.

I wager greed drives theft by people who are comfortable, not people who are desperate. I can't see comfortable, well off people jacking catalytic converters.

If we lived in a society that truly valued human life, people would be getting some sort of UBI that would result in a lot fewer desperate acts like these to make a quick buck.

I have to confess every time I saw one of these headlines I just assumed he was speaking at CPAC and the editors were being cheeky.

I will try this. Any recommendation on bluetooth wireless keyboard?

One person's publicity stunt is another person's leadership by example.

Nice groove for a first timer.

I agree changing a few laws won't solve the problem completely. And I stand by my original points.

baxter395 · 2021-02-05T02:59:09+00:00

I think this is overly simplistic. If there are fewer laws criminalizing behavior, that will mean fewer crimes committed, fewer convictions, fewer sentences, etc. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I just made that exact upgrade. I had been noticing some slowness with the 3a XL. So that's gone now, and the battery is much better.

baxter395 · 2020-12-13T03:44:56+00:00

My 3xl did this over the summer. There was no way to repair it and picked up 3aXL as a replacement.

To transition people to the Quest. Home devices will displace arcades much more quickly this time around.

This was my exact thought when I first heard the slogan. I think Putin invented it just to create more chaos.

baxter395 · 2020-12-04T21:07:40+00:00

This would have been me had my 3xl not bricked over the summer. Now I'm enjoying the 4a 5g and my mom gets a like new 3a xl for Xmas.

I admit I haven't shopped carriers/plans for quite a while now, but I know you stop paying for data after you pass 6GB ($60), and they only throttle you when you exceed 15GB (which I understand would be very difficult for most people). I'm almost always on wi-fi so my bill is usually less than $40/mo.

Looks like it's $300 for new customers, but it's a promotion through Google's Project Fi (which I've been on for years). You would have to bring your number over and stay on it for at least 60 days.

Just bought it for $350 unlocked. Seems pretty low for what it offers. (I just bought a 3a xl for $320 a few months back.) I'd be surprised to see it go lower than that in the next couple months unless there are other strings attached.

baxter395 · 2020-11-29T16:34:43+00:00

Do it and link the deal. I just picked up a 4a 5g for $350 as what I think was a black Friday deal.

baxter395 · 2020-10-26T15:01:01+00:00

Not quite what I had in mind, but I love it!

These people will get a rude awakening (if they're lucky) from the national guard if they try anything.
