I think the "focusing on narrow definitions of words" is the part that makes this bullshit. Any judge can interpret as widely or as narrowly as they want. They do it all the time. They just pander to one side of the divide when that's the ruling they want to get to.

The honest answer is because it brings in sponsorship money from local businesses who want to advertise to locals who are going to go to games, it brings in alumni money from any former student who made it big in athletics (and those who have fond memories of athletics), and it brings in money from people who think a particular team/coach is good and thus want to have their kids go there. Yes, school choice is a big enough thing that I know families who have moved so their kid is in a particular school's district.

Image is a big part of that. It's also because many well-meaning people see athletics as a way to help a student get out of being poor, offer financial mobility, etc. So athletics get pushed from many people coming from different angles.

Don't insult the hill billies. These are white-collarish, oh so fancy suburbanites.

What's your favorite dinosaur? Mine was definitely the utah raptor, after reading that one book written in the first person about what it's life might have been. But then again, big and lethal stuff is coooool, so King T might be a contender.

It happens, for sure. I had an acquaintance who was a cop say that she didn't feel like dragging the dude out of his car that day, so she wrote a ticket, wrote 'refused to sign' on it, and threw it in the truck bed.

My personal opinion on whether she acted like that every time an arrest would have had to get physical aside, I bet the next officer who dealt with the dude when he had a warrant for failing to appear at court had to get physical. Just delaying the inevitable.

Not a clue. They got it from inside of one of the big box stores or grocery stores, so I guess from one of those little kiosks they sometimes have.

Well, he doesn't care that facebook tracks him, and you apparently don't care that ~~youtube~~ sorry, google tracks you.

The faces training was all of the filters. Every single time someone took a video or picture and used filters to add cute moe eyes, or make themselves look like a crab, it was being used to make whichever company was doing it have a better bottom line or to accelerate their facial recognition.

There was a service that only charged if the phone was used that day. A family member of mine would turn on their phone once a month, check messages, make a few calls, and then turn the phone off until the next month. I think they were paying about $2 a month.

I'm pretty sure there was an honorary darwin award given to a man who used a live .22 round to put in place as a fuse in his car. The angle was apparently just right to have the bullet hit both balls.

The school published a book of students and parents at my school, with addresses and phone numbers for both. Privacy has been shit upon for years longer than you'd imagine.

Yep. They'll tell you if you ask. I got a text and asked the chick, and she said the schools straight up give them the list.
