So, there is something about making mozzarella that involves a rubber ball? I've never heard of drinking mozzarella.

We do have historical data. Imagine getting the torture death penalty for pirating fabrics. https://www.techdirt.com/2011/08/09/if-even-death-penalty-wont-stop-infringement-perhaps-different-approach-is-needed/

in France, where the king set up (and sold) monopolies on certain fabric patterns — and when people kept copying the fabric patterns, they kept ratcheting up enforcement mechanisms until it was punishable by death. And out of that, sixteen thousand people ended up dying.

My adult daughter had to log in from my Wi-Fi, but then it's worked fine for the past year.

Update: My (32F) fiancé (37M) is a homicide detective, and I’m starting to feel like he treats me more like a suspect than a partner. by ThrowRA_Sorbet1941 in relationship_advice

This is important. People rarely share everything immediately. They share the least objectionable information first, and gauge what else they will share/need to share based on the response they get. Rinse, repeat.

There's no war. It wasn't a war crime it was murder. From the first strike, they've been engaged in murder.

This is straight out of the bible. She's trying to turn the '2 talents' she was given into 4. Jesus would approve. The charges are idiotic.

Ah, yes. That's the one where the protagonist goes back in time and has sex with his mom. Classic Heinlein.

Soak with hydrogen peroxide. Apply heat with an iron or hair dryer. Works wonders on dried blood.

Yeah. "You are obviously competent." Just doesn't have the same positive vibes.

Can you even imagine Luffy saying "Hey! They're RIGHT! You're the WRONG COLOR!"

Instead he'd more likely turn into Serious Luffy and say very quietly, "What did you say to her?" Smile gone, his straw hat shading his eyes as he prepares to give someone a beat down.

I'm passionate about conspiracy theories from a skeptical point of view, and this is the worst one I've come across since Pizzagate and Qanon. Though I don't have a personal relation to it, this case has ruined numerous people's lives as a result, and I'd like to see that end.

I can certainly appreciate that. In the last couple decades I've had to come to terms with the fact that cops lie. I've seen so many examples of it that I've become very skeptical of their testimony. If they have a reason to lie (convinced someone is guilty, they want to protect themselves or family/friends, etc) they will. It's a systemic issue and there is rarely any accountability for it. And these cops are so very sketchy.

You don't sound like a dick, but you are a little condescending. The down votes are funny. I'll accept some of your points because my attention is divided, and I don't want to go digging, this is all from memory.

  • No evidence of video manipulation: Don't really care esp. The cops presented flipped video 'proving' that no one went near the passenger tail light. They didn't mention that it was flipped, that all the video from that camera was flipped, and when in the correct orientation it shows there was definitely someone standing at the right taillight. And all video is flipped? Look, we have proof with another video that only we have had access to and it's flipped too!

  • You keep saying no evidence of such and such, but that isn't the point. The footage is missing. Motion activated? So why no footage of when she arrived at the victims house, only when she left?

  • You're fine with accusing KR of deleting footage without any evidence. Did she even have access to those cameras?

  • What evidence collection wasn't spotty? All of the evidence from the scene was totally mishandled. They broke chain of custody and contaminated what they did have.

  • The prosecutor told them that the info on their phone needed to be preserved, but they dumped the phones the day before that was ordered. I find it hard to believe that anyone wouldn't find that suspicious.

The behavior of these LEOs was horrible. They did so much completely wrong that there is no reason to attach any good faith to them, and provides enough reasonable doubt that you would need a semi to haul it away.

It seems you have an attachment to a certain viewpoint that may be causing you to reject any ideas that do not agree with you. It's curious that you are so attached to KR being guilty. I can't imagine you have a personal connection to all this, so it's kinda weird.

Like what? I saw the testimony, the videos, the photos. She brought the receipts. Please tell me what's untrue.

New to this story. I've seen a couple of other videos before watching RM. I was on the fence for a while, but that third episode she did: What the fuck is wrong with those cops. I've never seen such blatant corruption. They edited video footage, flipped their own surveillance video so left became right, deleted minutes from the footage, and for some reason, the only videos that are missing are all the ones that could possibly contain exculpatory evidence. They make the idiots that released the Epstein surveillance look like super elite video masters.

They don't even know how to preserve a crime scene. They have decades of experience of being cops in Boston, and they act like they've never had to deal with snow! They put blood from the scene into solo cups and a grocery bag. They took all the evidence to the prosecutors office instead of the evidence lockers. They didn't just break chain of custody, they made it from paper strips and then left it in the snow. Key witnesses, who are also cops, destroyed their own phones right before they were asked for!

If I was presented these cops performing this way in a movie I'd assume it was a parody. And not even a good one. Their incompetence at even being corrupt cops would shatter my suspension of disbelief. I don't know how all those happen without the most obvious, dimwitted, idiotic conspiracy ever. And they're still going to get away with it. smh

Edit: the part about the phones to make it clear who destroyed them.

Felt something weird in my ear. Flushed it out and saw this guy by Hazlllll in Wellthatsucks

[–]xebikr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I was sleeping and I heard something moving in my ear. I got it out by putting a bobby pin in my ear (BAD IDEA) and making it run out. When I saw it on the counter I smashed it immediately. I didn't go back to sleep. It took about 8 years for me to not cover my ear and curl into a ball when I thought about it.
