  • TIL: Why good furniture is so hard to find these days

    Jump

  • Habitat for Humanity restores are gold. Most of my furniture is from there. They have pretty high standards for the stuff they take.

  • If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything?

    Jump

  • It's actually title is District Attorney. But I court it's the prosecutor and the defendant.

    That's how it's supposed to work here. But the position can be political where the DA is elected and to appear "tough on crime" they prosecute even when they should throw out cases.

    Most cases don't even get to a court though. The majority get some sort of plea deal. The whole process is so fucked up, that a non-insignificant number confess even though they are innocent to just be done with the whole ordeal. Defending yourself can bankrupt someone and ruin their mental health.

    Our system is rife with corruption and, IMHO it should be a lot harder for police and district attorneys to ruin someone's life.

  • Police aren't prosecutors in the US. But they work closely with the district attorneys who do prosecute. As in they provide the evidence to them and provide their recount of the situation and circumstances to the prosecutor and if it goes to trial can be called to testify against you.

    Additionally, many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.

    Often since the prosecutors and police work towards the same goal of securing a conviction, we lump them together even though they are different agencies.

  • If you had to choose one superpower that you could never turn off, what would it be?

    Jump

  • He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can't ever forget a language, as I'm interpreting it.

    Jump

  • How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

    Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

    Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

    Jump

  • I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?

  • Starbucks reverses open-door policy: Buy something or leave

    Jump

  • I used to get off work at almost 3am. Pulled into a gas station and they refused to let me use the restroom. I did the exact same thing. Fuck any place that doesn't recognize the need for someone to relieve themselves of a normal bodily function.

  • Vicariously Offended

    Jump

  • That's not really the same thing. People that appreciate another culture and enjoy and use aspects of a culture in their life and might be offending someone accidentally and a bully who is trying to harm someone deliberately are different. Intentions do actually mean something.

  • Help Me Satisfy My Wife Using HA

    Jump

  • I'm pretty much all kasa with the innovelli for my fans.

    Kasa require wifi for setup, but then have a local API for HA control. Just note that some features like motion detection aren't presented via API.

  • What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence?

    Jump

  • I have lots of ad blockers. But my father watches YouTube on the LG TV app. I don't live there anymore and hearing the ads from the other room became offensive to the family.

    It was easier to just buy a premium family plan and call it a day.

  • Joe Rogan Nods Along As Mel Gibson Claims His Friends Were Cured of Stage 4 Cancer By by ivermectin, fenbendazole (another animal dewormer), and methylene blue (a fabric dye)

    Jump

  • Death is the ultimate cure for cancer.

  • Keep going America, you're doing great!

    Jump

  • Or places that normally get snow are getting less and less.

  • I hate whoever that was

    Jump

  • I have an auto hotkey script that I always have running. It just takes my clipboard and sends the key presses to type it in when I press Ctrl + shift + v.

    It gets me around most of this sort of bullshit.

  • BioShock Creator Laments It Was Just A 'Corridor,' But Corridors Have Given Us Some Of The Best Games Ever

    Jump

  • I meant as in, I as a player don't need to be able to make changes that dramatically alter the game world in which I am playing and alter the story beats that I'll hit.

    I don't like having to make a decision that may lock off entire areas or missions in the game. I no longer have time to devote a replay of a 60 hour game so that I can experience a different story line.

    Otherwise, yes. The stakes the character faces in the story don't always need to be "save the world."

    Personally, I am playing the game to enjoy the story of the character I am playing as. Not to play as me and make my own personal decisions.

  • What's your cutoff year for reading books?

    Jump

  • I gave that hope up years ago.

    He backed himself into a corner and doesn't want to admit that he can't fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn't enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

    It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I'd have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.

  • Wives Earning More Than Husbands Linked To Rising Mental Health Diagnoses In Couples

    Jump

  • They can afford it now?

  • 25 hours of snow.

    Jump

  • I mean... If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.

  • BioShock Creator Laments It Was Just A 'Corridor,' But Corridors Have Given Us Some Of The Best Games Ever

    Jump

  • I want a corridor. It means they actually have to tell a story. Open worlds are too often mostly a large collection of lore for you to slowly read and tease out. But world building and lore doesn't make a game. For many of us, it's about the journey and story. I don't need to make world changing decisions when I'm playing "hero." I want to know heros story with all its cliches and tropes. Give me puzzles to solve, challenges to overcome, and entertaining gameplay instead "choose your own adventure." It's like the industry collectively decided that player agency, open worlds, and having options that changed how the story went somehow is what made a game good.
