Jurors do not have to “follow the law”. If it was that simple, we would just let the judge decide innocence and guilt.

Jurors can acquit people they know are guilty, so it stands to reason they can convict someone they know are innocent. It’s not ideal, just superior to the alternative.

Charlie Kirk is a joke on the right too. His wife is trying to be the girl boss of tradwives. And they can’t figure out if he was killed by the lunatic left or the (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((jews)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))).

Unless they were fired from a government job, this isn’t a free speech issue.

Comedy Central destroyed Nickleback. There was a comedy special or show, I don’t remember. Anyway, they promoted the show with a clip from a stand-up bit that was at Nickleback’s expense. I you watched The Daily Show, or South Park, you would have seen that ad a hundred times. After that, liking Nickleback was an embarrassment.

What follows is my bad recollection of the joke.

People say that music can incite violence and I think that’s true because every time I listen to Nickleback I want to hurt… Nickleback.

Dude, you don’t have to pick! You can hate two different kinds of corruption at the same time.

Also there is no medical condition that makes you sign onto the board of a Ukrainian energy company. That’s rare even for crackheads.

People murder their children every 5 days in America. That means that 265 people have wiped out their families since Casey killed her kids. In almost all cases, the father is the perpetrator. Do you know the names, or faces of any of those hundreds of men?

Casey killed her kids because she was nuts. Not even the prosecution disputes this.

People hate her because misogyny and ableism. If she was a man and did it for insurance money, this would barely make the local news.

I remember dropping off a girlfriend at the airport back in the 90s. The security desk asked me to leave my pocket knife at the security station before preceding to the gate. When I came back, the security guy was gone but there was a plastic box full of knifes and stuff to be retrieved on the honor system.

In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he’s shaved.

it’s 1995, I can’t afford a virtual boy, but the tech is just around the corner

it’s 2012, I can’t afford the Oculus Rift, but the tech is just around the corner

it’s 2026, I can’t afford the Frame, but the tech is just around the corner.

You’re going to have problems with authenticity when your family photo makes you look like a phony.

Why not

Because, like most things Hunter has ever done, it’s wrong. I don’t want a version of MAGA for the left. The left should concede the award for biggest piece of shit; don’t even compete for it.

It bears repeating that religious zealots and anti-theists are two sides of the same coin. To the point where anti-theists who were religious zealots is common, like you describe. Both offer certainty, superiority, and are obsessed with out-groups and enemies. You may want to reflect if, and perhaps why those things appeal to you.

It’s bad enough that Gavan Newsom stole Mitt Romeny’s policy ideals, does he have to copy his charisma too?

It’s a myth that Congress gets this many days off. They work very hard begging for money and making promises.

Nobody was ever going to learn about MLK or Civil Rights in a movie by Spielberg or anyone else.

If you want to move past “content of their character” and “I have a dream”, your going to have to pick up a book.

I recommend ‘Prophet of discontent’ by Douglas and Loggins

I used to do a lot of driving for work and it’s important to manage stress in traffic. Whenever someone would do something that aggravated me, I’d pretend that they did it for some silly reason and it helped me stay calm.

Someone cut you off? They must have have to shit so bad. Someone driving crazy fast? They’re trying to get to their wife before their girlfriend does.

I hate AI as much as the next guy, but it’s normal for new graphics tech to be too intensive for the current generation. And it’s not just ray-tracing and up-scaling, I remember when Vsync was out of reach for normal gamers.

It’s a tragedy that pop country music has become Republican radio.

Now it’s all jean-shorts, parting, and trucks. Bring back the alcoholism, divorce, and murder please.
