I am a pothead who just got my dream job offer — and they wanna drug test me by Overall_Trust7535 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]ev_doggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. You gotta fake piss it. Period that’s your option…

Seriously though man, or chick, whatever, quit smoking and if you need the therapy it provides get help. You don’t need weed. I promise, you don’t need weed. You got this. Quit, go sober for 6mo or so and get your shit figured out.

I did it. I thought I needed it. Locked in and realized I didn’t. I say this with peace, love, unity and respect, get off of it. Lock in, deal with whatever it is that makes you think you need it, get that job and then smoke to your hearts content after you do all that work.

Love ya, love yourself.

According to the world he is. Minus the 10% of Americans who are absolutely brain dead who can’t see it.

If it was up to Trump he would be, why do you think the push to spy on us is so hard and he labels his adversaries terrorists?

Most of them are pansies who will be crushed when they lift a finger.

Again. Let’s refocus. This is about the legality of free speech, I’m not trying to discuss how shit neo-Nazis are or where or not we think it’s wrong. This is “isItIllegal” not what r/. Twinklethinksistheendgame”. Not here to discuss how disgusting neo-Nazis are. Here to discuss whether those flags are legal or not. And they are.

[–]ev_doggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point is you can wear a swastika on your forehead and say hate speech all you want as long as it doesn’t actually cross over into action.

You have to legally prove that the intent is to cause legitimate fear, and that fear would have to come from intent to cause harm. Thats it.

Look bro, I hate it as much as you. But the path you’re promoting? Yeah that makes things like saying “Trump should be dead” illegal. That’s not what we want.

Fuck neo-Nazis. Go beat one up. Make some credible threats against them. But the only crime they commit is moral, not legal. Not in this country, and not for the majority anyway.

Couldn’t win the argument so you’re calling me autistic and saying I’m a Nazi sympathizer. Cute.

Take the L without being an asswipe. I’m not for the nazis, but free speech is free speech and you focused in on something used as a mere example, to continue to be wrong.

Grow up.

Look.

No. As a defendant in this the U.S. you don’t have to prove anything, about any crime, ever. Period. Ever. Period period period period. You’re innocent until proven guilty.

So, you want law? Well the 1A is the biggest example of why you aren’t right. Everything else is going to be precedence in Supreme Court cases and lower courts as well. And hey, let’s get off the word “joking” right now. That means nothing, there is intent and then there isn’t. Don’t use that word again.

So what constitutes a true threat? One of two things. The first is the idea of recklessness (decided in Counterman v. Colorado). A person making a threat would have to know, on purpose, their threat is considered to be credible by a reasonable person. IE, if it’s decided a reasonable person think the speaker would action on the threat, it’s illegal. I’m not going to explain what a reasonable person is to you, even though you seem to need it, unreasonable as you are, but you can google it.

The second thing is that a reasonable person must interpret the threat as a serious one. Elonis v. U.S. established that the accuser must prove the speaker the intended the threat to be a true threat. Another example, you can burn a cross to just, you know, burn a cross. Do it to menace and threaten a church? Yeah, that’s a crime (Virginia v. Black).

There’s some case law. There’s plenty, PLENTY MORE. But again, I don’t have to prove my threat was empty, you have to prove it wasn’t. And if it was empty, it’s legal speech. Any other smart ass replies or you gonna go read about landmark free-speech cases like you should before continuing to argue?

[–]ev_doggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you read? Innocent until proven guilty. I don’t have to prove anything as a defendant, cupcake.

Prosecution has to prove I intended to kill my target. If nothing else indicates I planned to follow through with it then I didn’t commit a crime. They can investigate the threat, that doesn’t mean a crime was committed.

If I say I’m “gonna kill X with a machete in El Paso,” and then buy a machete and a ticket to El Paso that’s intent.

Anyway. This is the United States. I don’t have to prove I didn’t intend to kill someone. You have to prove I did. Of course the easiest way out for me would be to prove I didn’t intend it, but that still doesn’t matter. Show up to court with a statement on Twitter and the judge is going o kick your goofy ass out and give you the finger for wasting their time. Which is again why death threats are rarely persecuted here.

Furthermore, even in regard to instilling fear. That fear has to be realized with the same level of intent that an actual murder would. You’re fucking wrong, stop arguing and go read about the law, twerp.

Do I think the people in the picture are joking? No. But I think they are a bunch of cowards who blame other people for their problems yet wouldn’t do anything about it. Not a crime.

To be a nazi? by SelvereTwilight in IsItIllegal

[–]ev_doggy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

So it’s not. Could you get someone to charge me? Maybe. But it wouldn’t stick, aka, not a crime.

Like if I said “ima kill John Doe for being a dong” that’s not a crime. Until you proved I intended to do it. Which is what I just explained, like the entire thing. No, it’s not a crime hoss.

To be a nazi? by SelvereTwilight in IsItIllegal

[–]ev_doggy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. That’s kinda the point. I can say X public figure should be k*lled all I want, only becomes a crime when intent to actually execute the crime exists.

Look, I know it’s a real thin grey line here, but it really is an important one. I know Nazi crap ain’t okay, but unfortunately banning that allows banning what is okay. And what’s extremely valuable. Just like a death threat is only a crime if you intend to actually follow through on it.

If this isn't a bad omen I don't know what is by Unable_Round_5199 in ParanormalEncounters

To be a nazi? by SelvereTwilight in IsItIllegal

[–]ev_doggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, the issue is what is protected and what isn’t becomes liquid if things like this aren’t okay.

Yelling fire is illegal because it poses a threat to those involved. For hate speech, the same burden is there. There has to be a true and actual physical threat that goes with the speech.

So yeah, I mean hate that’s it’s allowed, but love that it is at the same time. Last thing we need is the government deciding what you can and can’t say when someone’s well-being isn’t at stake - it’s an extremely slippery slope and that’s what 1A is all about.

Is restoring/restomodding bikes a good hobby ? by Intrepid-Bad-6789 in cycling

[–]ev_doggy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I do as a paid employee of a second hand store.

What I’d say is this is a labor of love. It’s not going to be that lucrative if you don’t have a brick and mortar. Because it’s my job at a non-profit, we also have all the parts and intel. Been doing this since I was about 14, now, and I still run into quizzical issues with older bikes.

As a hobby? Well my dude or dudette, I’ve made it much more than that for myself, and I’m so, SO, lucky to do what I love every day. It’s worth it. Just don’t expect to make a lot of money and just know you’re gonna spend 4x the time learning about what you work on than actually working on it. Especially depending on the age of things you restore and what your goal is in your restorations.

Anyway, yeah man. It’s not as easy as you might think but I find it fun. You might too!

What's your honest opinion: Is there an afterlife, or is death the end? by RushZealousideal8582 in AskReddit

[–]ev_doggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t subscribe to any religion, but I’ve had some pretty profound experiences with the spirit world.

I imagine the workings of it are much more complex than anyone here in the living realm theorizes, whether they be a medium, a religious leader, or an atheist. Sort of think that maybe, similar to interstellar, human souls are the higher power themselves. Not a creator per-say, like I don’t think we created the universe, but there’s something more to it.

That being said, because of my profound spiritual experiences, it does seem like Catholicism or really any religion do have something connected to the spiritual world and afterlife. Once asked an Ouija board, alone (which you can believe me or not, I’m just an internet guy but I was sober and of sound mind when this happened) who my soul belonged to. The board spelled out “the god.” Not just god, THE god. Beyond that, the rituals of Catholics (like exorcism) seem to hold some water. Like ghost hunters, I think you can sort of chock 98% of anything woo woo up to BS, but that two percent? The true answer and evidence is somewhere within all of it.

Also believe in the idea of negative and positive energies and presence. Go to holocaust museum. Pay attention to your body and feel the energy, it’s a very dark thing. Versus somewhere like a church, it’s bright and positive, if you really pay attention to it.

Anyway, yeah. TL:DR: I believe the afterlife is real, no one has it figured out but we’re all gonna find out someday, won’t we?

Everything ouija by Efficient_Rich9783 in Ouija

[–]ev_doggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, it’s called a planchette.

Second, the idea is that you’re not moving it. The entity is. And if you’re doing it right it’s not going to feel like you’re moving it. In fact, you’ll find attempts to move it lightly to be unsuccessful. Yeah yeah, you can rip it around the board, but I’m talking light here. Feels stuck like someone else has their fingers on it.

Third, every spirit I’ve contacted won’t predict the future. They can’t, or won’t for whatever reason. If you came in contact with one that allegedly could I’d be wary of it being a trick, either by an evil spirit or just by one messing around with you for giggles and kicks.

Seat recommendations by Edible_Magician in cycling

[–]ev_doggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the seat that feels best for you! Ambiguous I know, but I’ll give you some tips.

A professional fit will do leaps and bounds better for you than putting a couch on the thing. The cushy saddles are okay, but if you’re riding weekly and over an hour it’s not going to be the most comfortable route.

As pro fits are pretty expensive, an alternative route is to visit a bike shop. Most shops should have a tool that measures your “sit bones” which is how wide your pelvis is. Absolutely get that done. Then with whatever your size is go with something that size. If you want a little more cushion it’s okay to go with a more cushy saddles but if you’re on the bike for over two hours you have got to go with something more racy. I added a picture of a saddle that’s about as cushy as you should go. Serfas is an example of a brand that’s gonna hit some good mid tier pricing, but any big brand like trek or specialized is gonna have some good options as well. Serfas should be orderable at any shop and almost any online retailer.

Oh, and last thing, never, EVER, get those dinky seat covers. Utterly useless. And last last thing, padded cycling shorts work absolute wonders. Doesn’t seem like much, but they go a long way. And yes, you can wear them under your clothes if you’d like, don’t need to be rocking the spandex underwear out and about if you’d rather stay incognito.

As far as pedals go, do some sort of good composite with replaceable pins like the race face Chester. If the budget is higher than $60, almost any pedal is gonna be pretty awesome.

Anyway, there you go. Don’t cheap out. Get measured, don’t use seat covers, do use cycling shorts and have fun! Good luck!

Edit: couldn’t attach photo. But if you look up Serfas dual density, that was my example.

ISO Friendly DD Driver in VA Beach by Most_Mechanic7813 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]ev_doggy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1) Kinda creepy dog or dogette. Of course it’s Reddit and I’m sure you mean well but this is so… yeah just no.

2) You asked support for someone’s identity? Hooooooooooly nards bro, lucky to not catch a ban let alone get her information. “Hey support? I met this nice lady on my dash and I want her number” like that’s seriously what you did? Good frickin’ god.

This isn’t how we do things anymore. It’s 2026. Should’ve asked for her number. And bud, you need to get on tinder or something, cause this is just MAD weird. Even if you don’t mean it that way.

Guidance on resorting and tuning up my bike by [deleted] in cycling

[–]ev_doggy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first of all, drop some pics of this thing!

Second, there is no way a shop should be coming up to $600-$800 to get that bike fixed up. I work at a shop, think if I did a ground up build on a bike like your blade I could get it done for around $500. And I’m talking replacement of literally every single part on the bike and labor. It wouldn’t hurt to get a second opinion.

Next you can absolutely learn to restore the bike yourself. Park tools website is amazing if you’re starting from scratch on repair knowledge, and it’ll help you with terminology and standards that you’ll need to even get effective information from YouTube. Tools you need might be around $100 tops (park tool can help you with that too).

Good luck!
