So if we're pretending that the cop could be taken at his word and also pretending that while behind a barrier that the cop would be beyond a reasonable doubt threatened by that, that's still the crime of brandishing a weapon, which isn't punishable by death in any court. Cops manage to not kill people all the time, it's not unreasonable to hold them accountable to the already low standards we hold cops to in the US.

Most people don't bend over backwards when the government kills a guy for the crime of, having a weapon that couldn't possibly harm the officer. Unless we're going to be good with cops shooting everyone with a NRA sticker on their car we probably shouldn't be good with it here.

That's a classic, and I won't hear one word against it.

You know what? Maybe I should stop complaining about Comcast, it could always be worse.

Right? Like, I mean there's probably some room for a discussion on Russian and China's actions in geopolitics and to what extent that is a form of imperialism but to straight declare that no other countries are seems like mind rot to the highest degree. Like we're just going to pretend that America doesn't exist at all I suppose? Or that France and Britain don't still have extensive colonial properties and interests? It's a hell of a take.

You might be adding too much nitrogen? I wonder if adding fertilizer every week is giving them nitrogen burn. Maybe post a picture of the leaves and someone might recognize something.

I mean if he's in a plane he could have been in Africa a few hours or a day prior, and shot down for daring to return.

Notably the constitution doesn't actually require a trial of any sort. The amendment was put in after the civil war, it would have been impossible to have a trial for everyone that participated in the Confederacy. Bit of an open question how that gets determined nowadays though.

Maybe but if you go off the dates this was posted and take in the about 2 years of time skip in it. I don't think it's at all crazy a blind person in 2017 had a flip phone.

So I guess the question is why arrange the keys like that? What benefits do you get by splitting the letters down the middle like that?

My understanding is that not being allowed to catch rainwater is more of a urban legend. People took not being allowed to divert streams and other bodies of water and over time the telephone game turned it into not being allowed to gather rain off your roof.

Do you have any links for this? That sounds fascinating but my Google fu is failing me right now.
