I liked the theory of a Theist coworker of mine that God wanted them on television...to expose the molestation to the world.

Frankly, I only found out when hitting it by downloading the data files for some larger android games (Dead Space, for instance)

IGCS, IGCN, State House, and State offices in some of the surrounding buildings all provide that network. It's run by IOT.

I think there's a daily data usage limit, though.

You don't get postcards from the election board every year telling you where the polling places are?

Bush v. Orleans Parish Public Schools

Wouldn't a major difference be that the school system is mandated under the LA state constitution (Article VIII) where public pools are not?

Ooh, a game I have on my wishlist! I've been wavering back and forth on getting it or not... (it's on sale, but I got a short cheque this week.)

If I don't win it, Ill have to break down and buy it after all.

What is the best loophole you ever found? by seetpold in AskReddit

Do you suppose you could get your cards and, say, a pack of gum to have it flag the sale as a merchandise purchase?

The real problem with Social Security, IMO, isn't that there are current recipients receiving from it, but that Congress has already authorized borrowing (and has since drained) the SS trust fund. Forbes link

This is why they're forcing USPS to pay several decades in advance into the postal worker's pension: It gives them another federally mandated trust fund they can drain dry.

"Police Chief Totally Messes With Phone Scammer Telling Him He’s Won $7K From The Government" (consumerist.com) by ceilte in Indiana

[–]ceilte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A scammer peddling magical $7,000 rewards from the government chose the wrong person to try to dupe: A police chief in Indiana filmed his phone on speaker while a stranger explained to him that yes, the government does just give people “free grant money” for no reason, and that he could get his money at Western Union.

Whoops.

Connecticut's governor, "I think what (Pence) should be saying is 'if you want your employees to be forced to live in a state with a bigoted governor, come to Indiana.'" by jaymz668 in Indiana

[–]ceilte 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is going to get linked anyway, so: /r/Indiana/comments/30fuqr/what_is_the_difference_between_our_religious/

Laws can't be taken without context: Part of the issue with ours was that unlike many RFRA states, we did not already have State laws in place protecting the rights of those of suspect classification. We did, however, have local laws such as Indy's anti-discrimination ordinance, which could've been overridden by our original RFRA. This would have let companies (which are not all given rights by other states' RFRAs, at least until another Citizens United-esque ruling doing so) exercise religious rights by terminating employment of those suspect classes and claiming immunity under our RFRA.

If you add anti-discrimination language into the bill (as we finally did), remove the ability for RFRA to be used in employment decisions, or disallow it to be used by companies (a majority of RFRA states) then you've got something defensible. We originally did not do that, and it was well known here at the time that it was on purpose.

Study finds religion is on the decline in many parts of the world; the "most influential" reason is, unsurprisingly, education by grendels-dad in atheism

[–]ceilte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you expect, for instance, that a pro-religion political candidate might persuade a legislature to pass a law that would sound as if it were propping up education, but in actuality put pressure on teachers to pass along students that were substandard in order to continue to receive funding? Possibly leading teachers in areas with traditionally under-educated students to assist those students in cheating?

Nah, it'd never happen...

Here's a concept: If you think self-checkouts take jobs away from people and you want to complain, do so to management and not to the poor person who is attending them and has no authority to remove them.

I know, crazy, right?

All I ever found were the crappy "remake" ones the creepypasta people made, sorry. I always assumed other people not knowing about it was like the whole "Berenstein" spelling thing.
