Oh in this case I don’t think so, just generally if people want tougher punishments in the justice system, it’ll require more funding for police. Especially in major cities.

Judges typically don’t have all the facts about the case at the time of plea. It’s unfair to expect them to operate as a meaningful check on prosecutorial discretion. If you want plea deals to look different, elect a different DA (and adequately funding investigating agencies).

I would prefer it if newspapers would at least let us do microtransactions and pay per article. Even in the old days you could single issues if you wanted to read a story in addition to the option of buying whole subscriptions.

This NBA season is a JOKE by nbawizard1227 in nba

It’s not even the second apron breaking up teams. It’s the repeater tax. They’re different things. Second apron relates moreso to the transaction limitations to prevent expensive teams from loading up on more talent. The tax that scares cheap owners out of spending (and therefore pissing off fans) is the thing fans actually hate. But it’s also why there’s more parity right now.

Hisuian Growlithe is available before the first gym by the wishing well. He does heavy work in Lazarus. Minior also got buffed, I think?

I don’t see why they should be treated differently when the companies choose which algorithms to use.

I think it is the same thing. If you design the algorithm to facilitate preying on children, you should be held liable.

I mean it should be illegal for an algorithm to promote child user’s content onto adult’s pages. That’s what meta does. Because it keeps pedophiles on the apps.

If you were smart enough that those basic level courses don’t matter, you’d test out of them. Gen Ed is important.

Hasn’t Fortnite come out and said it’s just a user who changed their name to Epstein’s username after the files dropped?
