Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota here and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(excuse the ignorance, havenāt been following this close enough on account of spoons)
40-50y req from prosecutor, wat - whatās the story there? were they unsure they could secure more if they asked for[0]? is there some kind of fuckery around max sentencing because of charge class?
[0] as in: since sbf was declared guilty, the sentencing is going to happen regardless, but the value of assigned years is variable, and the assigned value could be below prosecutor request for $legalsystem reasons?[1] [1] I am not a US legal system enjoyer, so I donāt have comprehensive knowledge on the minutae of that demented clusterfuck operates
@froztbyte @techtakes
Thatās a question for PopeHat, wherever he hangs his hat these days. Heās a former Federal prosecutor.
for a purely legal reference opinion, probably
but Iām more wondering about the human/social side of the nitty-gritty of the proceedings (on which, by my estimation, our esteemed notorious @dgerard is far more contextually informed on)
