“Culley and Sutton’s argument for a separate preliminary hearing appears in many respects to be a backdoor argument for a more timely hearing so that a property owner with a good defense against forfeiture can recover her property more quickly,” he wrote. “But the court’s precedents already require a timely hearing.”
Alabama has since amended its forfeiture law to allow owners of seized property to request expedited hearings.
“Our decision today does not preclude those legislatively prescribed innovations,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote. “Rather, our decision simply addresses the base-line protection of the due process clause.”

Seems like it's less about civil forfeiture and more about how quickly can they get their property back when civil forfeiture happens

I bet the constraint here isn't what's serving the website but either an external dependency that they don't have control over so that can't scale or a relational database that they didn't have the budget or expertise to scale

Edit: or just that humans have to actually look at it and you're waiting to talk to one

My local government does it all async to avoid that issue

He's obviously trolling

I refuse to believe that anyone who gets upset for someone screenshotting their NFT is either trolling or too young to know what an NFT is

Irl I often repeat what other people say in my own words and ask them if that's what they believe. It both helps me understand where they're coming from and confirm I get them

On the Internet I almost never do.

Communication is a two way street. You can be as explicit as you want but if people are trying to win an argument instead of have a discussion they're going to misconstrue what you're saying more often than not.

Growing up in Florida I thought I was good at telling the Cardinal directions because it was easy to align with the roads

Now that I live in Boston I can't navigate anywhere
