I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.
Yep. This is a huge burden on the poorest in our society and basically means the poorest will never be able to afford bond and the richest will always be able to afford bond. At both ends of the spectrum, bond is basically meaningless. If someone is sufficiently rich, if they want to run, they will, regardless of if $200k is forfeit. If someone is sufficiently poor, they’ll never be able to afford to be out of jail, even if they have no intention on running. I’m not saying that Trump is, in fact, a flight risk, but bond is stupid and if someone should be in jail, then they should be in jail or if they should not be in jail, then they should not be in jail. I know it’s an imperfect system living in an imperfect world, but can someone please come up with some sort of technology mechanism so that the current bond system is rendered obsolete, please?
I feel like the answer is making jail/prison less of a fucking tortuous experience (ala the Scandinavian model), but some people seem to think that jail/prison being the worst possible place to be is a feature, not a bug. If jail were less torturous, then it would be conceivable for rich people who deserve jail to have to go there while awaiting trial and the bond system could be done away with…but that would mean making it nicer for everyone, so probably won’t happen.
Nah, he was just le tired and slept in.
The news that has come out about how Tesla and Space-X have succeeded in spite of Musk, not because of him, has been eye opening. I think there’s something to be said for having a front man to be the face of a company. Since Apple has been fine post Steve Jobs, so would Tesla and Space-X be fine post Elon. Frankly I’m kind of terrified that Space-X will get dragged down by this shit too, but it seems to have benefitted from being a side-project and not on Elon’s front radar. If Elon gets bored of Twitter and starts doing Space-X stuff again. Thank goodness NASA kept redundancy in their rocket pipelines… At the time, it seemed like a waste, but now it looks very prudent.
It’s…perfect. So beautiful.
I’ll take the good with the bad. Better than literal criminals and conmen. Some good shit was done. C’est la vie.
In the country’s defense, those assholes literally ran the government from the highest level for 4 years and gave up power were forced to give up power after their term ended. We have a pretty robust system. I am concerned that so many people are so stupid to be hoodwinked by him and his ilk, but the system was built to withstand this type of shit…at least for a single time.
Meanwhile Biden and democrats have been out there with things like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Bill actually helping Americans. If you think that the government isn’t capable of doing positive or good for it’s people anymore, you haven’t been paying attention. It may not be sweeping, and only barely enacted, but a lot of good has been done recently.
Classic. I dusted this off recently at work when I realized we had a significant overly project managed thing going on. F off PMs, I’m doing my work!
Not while browsing on “All”, but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on “Subscribed”. Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.
That’s a good and healthy way to approach this. Nicely put.
Bettering the world’s situation is a legislative/political issue. Bettering you and your immediate community is something you can help with, even if it’s only at the margins.
The problem with all this, however, is that there are a lot of the things that you can do to help your personal situation that are definitely not helping the overall situation. For example installing air conditioning, watering your lawn, etc. They might make things more comfortable for you, but they’re by no means better for the world. We still need to incentivize the right things through the right tax breaks and financial/industry incentives, which lead us back to politics being the actual thing that we need to make meaningful personal and global change possible.
Every time I see these I see these climate change related issues (which is now multiple times a day), I get the same sinking feeling in my stomach like I’m behind on work and don’t have enough time to do it and I’ll soon be in trouble for letting things get too far behind. That feeling keeps me up, causes me stress, and is generally not a comfortable way to live. This just fucking sucks.
Samesies. Very random. Also on hot are things that I would consider new.
Same here. If any of my friends correctly identify my username as me, my annual account reset puts them back to square one…not that my accounts were anything but completely tame.
Also nice username!
Smart. Flush money down the toilet trying to impersonate Trump by not paying your bills. Maybe he should run for president.
