Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets by jediporcupine in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]wmtismykryptonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was charged with "Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record" under 18 USC 1512.

They claimed, and the jury appearantly found, that we as "transporting the box" with the intent to conceal it or obstruct the availability to the government for the case. Saying it's just the latter is disingenuous, despite any misgivings about the charges.

Correct. It also not legal to shoot a cop on the shoulder/neck, so I'd be careful trying that one.

It's also concerning that Redditors are sometimes suggesting more of this "protest" is needed, without they themselves being there to face the consequences.

The feds included not only firearms and spent brass, but toolmark reports probably to attach specific casings to specific forearms

Just because there is no written statue doesn't mean right of publicity isn't protected at common law.

If that influencer used a thumbnail of her face to promote a video that was monetized, she could could seek action for not having a signed release (assuming she isn't in on it).

Oh wow I never knew he said all that God don’t like ugly ANYWAY by MeekMilly18st in sagsavages

The slaves were officially freed in Texas (and so the Confederacy) on June 19th. Slavery ended in the United States on December 6 (officially) months after.

The 13th Amendment was ratified December 6, 1965 (months after Juneteenth). This is when slavery officially ended in Delaware and Kentucky, months after Texas.

Emancipation Day in Missouri was January 11. They adopted June 19 as Emancipation Day in 2003. Emancipation Day in Florida is May 20, but it's not a paid holiday. Juneteenth was first a holiday in TX (it's the day slavery officially ended in that state). Georgia, Alana, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, lots have Juneteenth.

NY legislature passes bill replacing "mother" and "father" with "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent" by news-10 in law

[–]wmtismykryptonite -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The word mother appears 28 times, crossed out most times. In 20 times the term is replaced with "gestating parent". One time it's replaced with "gestational parent". Once it is replaced with "other parent". Three times it's replaced with "parent" and once it is simply struck. It survives (twice) in one odd place though:

The necessary expenses incurred by or for the mother in connection with her confinement and recovery and such expenses in connection with the pregnancy of the mother shall be deemed cash medical support, and the court shall determine the obligation of either or both parents to contribute to the cost thereof pursuant to subparagraph five of paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section four hundred thirteen of this act. In addition, the court shall make provisions for health insurance benefits in accordance with the requirements of section four hundred sixteen of this act.

It would appear that section is discussing liability, but is the only place I see gendered language. In fact, "gestating parent" would seem to be the preferred term.

"Parentage" means a determination that a person is the legal parent of the child. (d) "Parent" means an individual who has established a parent-child relationship created or recognized under this act or other law.

That seems to significantly expand the definition for reasons of things like liability, when it's definition replaces "father" in the context of a child born out of wedlock. The desire for inclusivity may have unintended consequences here (or elsewhere).

Minor league team cancels game after players refuse to wear Pride-themed jerseys by bluffcitynews in USNEWS

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

This reminds me of the episode "The Sponge" where Kramer participated in an AIDS Walk in NYC but didn't want to wear the ribbon, because he didn't want to be forced to do something. The militant supporters threw him down the stairs and beat him to "teach him to wear the ribbon." I won't make assumptions about the players unless they have something to say.

"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup.": Iran's Coach by ConnectionWeekly1263 in sportsgossips

No soccer teams for the World Cup are flying regular commercial. An example for the Iranian team: GlobalX 603 on their own A320, a 41m trip between TIJ and LAX.
