This is 98% the right answer, but you drop them somewhere that keeps them intact, and believable enough so that people take them, and spend the rest of the weekend going to thrift stores trying to find an external floppy drive, and the next month trying to figure out how to get their iPhone to mount it.

Absolutely. Spot on. Rape doesn't exist in America and no American organizations could ever have a culture of abuse as described in this story.

Out of curiosity , what did you wear to Bill Cosby's funeral? The same outfit you wore to Harvey Weinstein's funeral?

I actually heard that people really believe that Hollywood is a haven for sexual predators and sexual abuse, including rape, is rampant throughout the American entertainment industry. Can you believe that?

Don't they know the 2nd Amendment has eliminated both individual cases of rape and systemic sexual abuse?

Anywho, do you have any plans on watching USA Gymnastics this year?

The reason he fell from favor was a coordinated and relentless media attack and smear campaign because he was beholden to Old Labour values, and not New Labour's brand of limp dick neoliberalism.

That may sound overly simplistic and vulgar, but it's accurate, and if anything, less vulgar than the smear campaign that was used to gun down his political career as party leader.

She is basically the Koch brothers, but bigger, dumber, and more evil.

The only reason why the Koch family is probably worse, is because their influence flows through the American state.

All this is to say, it's a good bet that after this story dies down, the gallery will quietly acquiesce and take down the painting. This will either be followed by a carrot, or a removal of whatever stick she used.

The previous coalition government started this persecution, but Albo's Labor government drove it home.

So it seems like governments love prosecuting whistleblowers would be the correct take on this situation.

Edit: Just to be extra clear, Australia's current government is Labor (center left party), but the previous government was a coalition of the Liberals (mainstream, yet still far right party) and the Nationals (deep fried crazy far right party).

So the unjust prosecution of David McBride started under the previous rightwing coalition government, but the current left leaning Labor government continued the prosecution and got the conviction.

Absolutely.

"Helicopter Karen tries to snitch on kids for vaping, but gets fucked by the police instead".

I sincerely hope everyone involved comes out worse for wear.

Can't wait to see the reporting on the fallout from this, if it goes forward.

Bureaucratic backlash from department heads at Animal Control, and whichever state administration or department that their chain of authority ultimately flows down from.

Overzealous Animal Control officer who assaults a child that a school administrator called in for pickup.

Mass student protests of dozens of kids going to school as furries

And that's just a few off the top of my head. The possibilities are endless.

Less RF interference, sure, but a lot more wall and physical object interference as the higher frequencies aren't able to go through them nearly as well.

Overall, it's great to have more spectrum available, especially in a less crowded range. More options means more optimal solutions to be had.

Just look at counties without school shootings, the answer is pretty obvious: none of them have... video games, mental illness, or Democrats.

The fact that they don't have an insane amount of privately owned firearms, or the ability to purchase them legally, easily, and with barely any restrictions, is just a coincidence. Definitely not relevant.

They're Russians in imperialist name only.

They are Dagestani, from Dagestan, which is a one of the several subjugated Muslim majority Caucus states within the Russian federation, like Chechnya.

I'm not saying this to draw any ethnic or religious connections, just providing a slight, but important detail to this story.

On top of everything else, his idiot lawyer accidentally emailed ALL of the discovery evidence that they had claimed didn't exist TO THE PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY. As well as no showing and getting a summary judgement.

There is so much stupid in that trial, you really should go find a legal YouTuber who documented the various levels of idiocy and just watch in amazement.

I'd recommend LegalEagle.

Fuck everyone in this thread cheering this on. This is NOT the schadenfreude you think it is.

Read the article you dipshits. This is not impacting the wealthy, or white areas, it's impacting the poor black ones.

All you lazy armchair activists are cheering on the actions that are guaranteed to raise the black infant mortality rate in Alabama even higher than it already is.
