  • I mean her case was investigated and he was freed to leave the country afterward. It didn't come back with a vengeance until it could be used as a means to put him where the US could get at him.

  • The FBI is literally the federal equivalent to state police. So anything that violates federal rather than state law or involves a crime crossing state lines.

  • The FBI and DHS are federal police.

  • You know he considered investing in Action Park but decided the vision for the park was too risky, right?

    Like that place was such a horrifying deathtrap that Trump's conscience kept him from getting in on it. That's a fucking low bar.

  • The best part of that line is that everyone left of fascism reads it as a direct threat - bow to our will or there will be blood, while the right can claim it's just them worrying about the left turning violent.

  • Axe makes me break out something awful. Only been two periods of time I wore it, both because the lady I was with commented on it smelling nice when we were in a store, and then only wearing it on nights I was going out with her and hoping I'd recover before next time.

    I have little or no allergies regarding anything else, but deodorants for some reason are prone to setting me off (my suspicion is that it's particular fragrances used in some of them). Currently Dove Men + Care is safe for me, so I use that.

  • I used to argue that whoever was ultimately responsible for safety at a chemical plant should be required to have them and their family live close enough that if shot goes wrong, they'll definitely be among the worst effected.

    But then I live within the greater Charleston, WV area, and there's a plant in a town called Institute here that makes and handles MIC, most notoriously known for being made less poisonous for use as pesticide and being the stuff that leaked and caused the Bhopal incident back when.

  • And this has convinced me I am officially an old. I'm not sure what language about half of that is in and can't even guess at what some of it means from context.

  • and letting children marry.

    Most still do so long as the line being drawn is "is there any hypothetical situation in which a 17 year old can legally marry?" Most of those specifically allow older teens (16 or 17 depending on the state) to marry under narrow circumstances, usually requiring any minor have parental consent and/or court approval before allowing it. All states allowed under-18 marriage in some conditions until 2018, and only about a dozen have set a hard 18 limit with no exceptions since then.

    With CA being one of the worst offenders in that it has no hard legal minimum age of marriage at all and relies on parents and courts to prevent serious abuse (no minimum but requires approval from one parent or guardian and the court). MA was very similar with no hard minimum at all until recently passing a hard 18 minimum.

    Which means if you have the right people in your pocket (a parent or guardian and a judge) you could hypothetically marry someone very underage in CA then cart them off to a state where marriage is an explicit exception to age of consent (such as NM) and engage in legal CSA.

  • I used to joke back in 2014 that if Milo Yian-whatever, Ben Shapiro and Gavin McInnes just had a biweekly meeting and decided on a hand sign, an image and a word to use heavily in social media for the following month that everything could be made into a dogwhistle within a year.

  • We really don't do that here, because we skip the rehab part almost entirely because it's bad for the profit margins of private prisons.

  • You misunderstand the dynamic. Most GOP voters are going to vote and are going to vote for the Republican, regardless of how awful that Republican is. Voting is a civic duty and party above all are kinda core ideas for them.

    Dem voters are a lot more flighty in general. Any barrier to voting no matter how small (even having to rise from the couch) impacts Dem voters more than GOP ones.

    There are more Dem voters than GOP ones except maybe in very red states. It's about turnout - US voter turnout is God awful and it's worse among Dems than GOP.

    That's why the debate was so bad for the Dems, because it's not about whether or not it pulls voters to Trump but about what it does to Dem turnout.

  • it would be nice if the democrats fucking tried.

    They think they don't have to, they just have to keep you scared enough of the GOP that you'll vote for them out of terror. It's how Biden won the first time, after all.

  • I’m just going to assume bolts of lightning and Usain Bolt are off the table.

    The only thing I know about the procedure for tightening Usain Bolt is that I am not part of performing it.

  • That analogy was chosen for a reason. Ada was originally developed by DOD committee and a French programming team to be a programming language for Defense projects between 1977 and 1983 that they were still using at least into the early 2000s. It's based on Pascal.

    It was intended for applications where reliability was the highest priority (above things like performance or ease of use) and one of the consequences of that is that there are no warnings - only compiler errors, and a lot of common bad practices that will be allowed to fly or maybe at worst generate a warning in other languages will themselves generate compiler errors. Do it right or don't bother trying. No implicit typecasting, even something like 1 + 0.5 where it's obvious what is intended is a compiler error because you are trying to add an integer to a real without explicitly converting either - you're in extremely strongly-typed country here.

    Libraries are split across two files, one is essentially the interfaces for the library and the other is it's implementation (not that weird, and not that different than C/C++ header files though the code looks closer to Pascal interface and implementation sections put in separate files). The intent at the time being that different teams or different subcontractors might be building each module and by establishing a fixed interface up front and spelling out in great detail in documentation what each piece of that interface is supposed to do the actual implementation could be done separately and hypothetically have a predictable result.

  • By that logic what we really need is a modernization of Ada, where there are no compiler warnings and anything that would generate one in another language is instead a compiler error, everything is strongly typed, etc, etc.

    If you aren't familiar with Ada, just imagine Pascal went to military school.

  • This seems like it would be pretty possible - you'd just need an instance that basically just takes in all the data and just marks moderation/deletion as such rather than actually altering the posts. The hard part would be not getting it defederated by half the instances out there specifically for providing unddit/reveddit functionality.

  • Which when you try to say it as written sounds like some degenerate version of "lick nuts" which is possibly not intended?

  • There's also the one about bearing false witness, aka perjury/defamation/libel/slander.
