Let me tell you about Wisconsin: We regularly bump 17-year-old offenders into adult court. So, yes, we have had cases of 17-year-old couples tried as adults for having sex with a minor after they had sex with each other.
If the implication of that fact hasn’t sunk in I’ll make it explicit: We treat them as adults for the purposes of being a criminal, and a minor for the purposes of being a victim.
Neither is the President.
Excellent, I’d not heard of the coconut island parable before! That’s very apt.
I was thinking of the False Dilemma fallacy. The notion that the only two options are a school bus service with 32% casualty/loss rate, or no bus and a 100% casualty/loss rate, is capitalist gaslighting when we can plainly see the government bus company in other countries getting all the kids to school. For less cost, at that.
It’s like Justice Potter Stewart famously wrote about pornography: I can’t define it, but I know it when I see it. It was 100% warranted in this case.
Replace Thompson with Anwar and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.
Our celebratory reaction to Thompson being brought to justice isn’t going to lead to bad things. No, it’s the result of being on the losing end of the world we already inhabit.
A scooter exploded in Moscow last week, and now a cargo ship carrying military equipment exploded this week? Huh.
And we only have those two choices because of capitalist gaslighting. Given those two options, I would advocate deposing a few more insurance executives to improve the situation.
I’m sure we’d be pretty sanguine about a school bus driver who gets 68% of the kids to school safely, too.
This is the guy who set a woman on fire in a subway car.
Another huge, important, but subtle distinction to make here is that the trial is not to decide whether you did the thing. It’s not always a mystery who perpetrated an alleged crime. Even if you pull out a gun and shoot somebody on the 50-yard-line at the Super Bowl, and 300 million people see it, they can’t just take you off to prison for murder. They have to give you a trial to determine whether you violated the law.
There’s a thing called an affirmative defense, as in, “yes, I did the thing, but it wasn’t a crime, because…” If you can, say, convince a jury that you’re a time traveler, the ref was going to make a bad call in the 4th quarter that cost your team the Super Bowl win, and that justified shooting him, well, then it wasn’t a crime. That’s what a jury is ultimately charged with deciding.
This is not to say that Magione’s attorney plans to present an affirmative defense, just that there are a number of good reasons to plead not guilty, even if it’s 100% certain you did the thing.

Today’s GQP, folks. And some of them, I assume, are good people.
No, no, this is good advice, actually. I mean, it is a pain to go to the office twice, but flipping a switch only takes seconds, and you have the rest of the day to fuck around.
Somebody did an analysis of his speech, and found that his vocabulary has markedly decreased in recent years. That’s one of the signal early indicators of dementia. Even back in 2016, he was noticeably more articulate. Since then, several other symptoms of dementia have shown up: Memory issues, doctors concerned enough to do cognitive assessments, losing the ability to process metaphors, impulsivity, uncharacteristic swearing, and losing track of the passage of time.
First illegal immigrant President, too.
I feel like there’s a lot of information missing here. VLANs operate at OSI layer 2, and Immich connects to its ML server via IP in layer 3. It could talk to a remote server in Ecuador over the Internet, so the layer 2 configuration is irrelevant.
What you have is an issue of routing IP packets between subnets. You just need to set up a rule on your router to allow the Immich server on the Internet-facing IP subnet to connect to the correct port(s) for the ML server on the private subnet. Or maybe use the router’s port-forwarding feature. Lacking further information about the setup, I have to be vague here. In any case, it’s conceptually the same as punching a hole in the firewall to let IP packets from an Immich server in Ecuador get to the ML server on your private subnet, except that the server is not in Ecuador.
I had this discussion with people IRL recently, wondering who the real power behind the throne was, because when they let him do interviews on his own, it’s clear the orange figurehead is too far gone with dementia to be this organized and focused on the transition. I hope that the real power behind the throne is Leon, because he’s so stupid. Dangerous, yes, but not as insidiously dangerous as somebody smart.
In any case, I want this to be true. It’s exactly what I would’ve predicted, so I’ll keep calling him President Musk.
Okay, but your first comment referenced supporters, who are different people than the electeds or party leaders. I might suggest re-phrasing to say, “I believe that Dem supporters have the same facts, thoughts, and perspective on the parties as I do, and as such, I find them morally culpable for every action of the party leaders.” That’s a different thing than not understanding how they can behave the way they do.
That works in a parliamentary system, because the state and the government are two different things. In the U.S. system, they are functionally the same thing. We can’t dissolve the government, or we’d have to rebuild the entire state apparatus from the ground up.
I’m voting “both evil and stupid.” That is, modern Republicans.
Sheeeeit, don’t hit a guy with those turgid vacuoles without a NSFW tag.
