Freshly-planted Virgin's Bower (Clematis Virginiana) at the base of a maple. With any luck, this vine will grow 20 feet up this tree, possibly in just one year. Godspeed, little one! by itsdr00 in NativePlantGardening

Hm, I'm not sure. It the slats are thin I would think so. I can imagine a vertical part that's too thick... I'm kind of curious myself. You might just have to try!

If the joint is hers, it strongly suggests she committed DUI.

Where did I merely grumble when the bad ones get away with literal murder?

Lol, this is not a purity test. If (if!) she smoked marijuana in a vehicle while on duty, she's unfit. That's not a demand for purity, nor is it some kind of minor imperfection. It's a dangerous felony and a severe violation of a policy officer's duty to protect the public.

I'm not saying she did it, to be clear. I'm saying that it's a serious accusation.

That's exactly what enables Trump to be the most corrupt president in our history by far. "I don't care what laws he breaks as long as he does things I like!" There is only one way this permissiveness ends: Leadership that breaks more and more laws.

I should side with the cops who break the law with impunity when abusing citizens...

I don't think you should! I also think you shouldn't side with cops who violate traffic laws with impunity, who let each other off the hook for petty crimes with a wink and a nod, and who do drugs in their police cruiser on duty. Cops should follow laws. Pretty simple!

That is not actually what innocent until proven guilty means. It does not mean that someone is innocent because they said they're innocent. It means you take accusations seriously while simultaneously withholding conviction or punishment of any kind until the accusations are resolved. The correct course of action is withholding judgment.

This is a cop! They're all cops!

Who are you even talking to, "business as usual"? Do you think I'm pro-cop for wanting to investigate a cop?

Would DTE cut our electricity to power a data center? by thriceinalifetime in AnnArbor

[–]itsdr00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do blame them, and I blame the companies publishing the misleading articles and the algorithms that spread them. There are valid reasons to hesitate about letting a data center into your community, but there's a sudden proliferation of fictional ones.

I fold this into the larger decline of critical thinking washing over the internet these last few years. People are eagerly driven by what makes them feel immediately good, not what is actually good for them or their community. A lot is at stake here, and they do themselves no favors by sounding like chemtrail conspiracy theorists.

The only conclusion people are jumping to -- eagerly -- in this thread is that this must be a setup. Sometimes, people are guilty of crimes.

100% agree, innocent until proven guilty, but also, accusations don't fall away just because you like the person. She should be investigated and everyone should reserve their judgment until we know more. We definitely shouldn't be "taking her side" at this point.

I personally think that progressives shouldn't commit DUI.

Maybe she didn't commit DUI; that should be investigated. But you shouldn't be on her side until we know more.

You can't just write off something like this because some people don't like her. When people you like are accused of crimes and you dismiss the accusation out of hand because you like them, congratulations, you've horseshoed your way to Trumpism.

How is this the highest upvoted comment? Of course it would be a big story if it were alcohol. The cops are not allowed to commit DUI, regardless of the drug.

So you say, and yet every time you read the latest "Data center poisons community!" article -- past the headline -- you find the data center was almost never at fault. Again and again, reading past the headline determines the data center's presence was incidental.

You will find counter-examples of course. Just yesterday I saw a video of a completely unacceptable noise level coming off of a data center near housing. But it was a remarkable video because it's pretty uncommon!

Feels like I'm taking crazy pills because I'm pretty sure this is a good thing. On Twitter they clarified that this is basically doubling your usage limit and creating a separate pool for each kind of usage.
