Cleared by a grand jury? Isn't the saying that you can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich? Either the prosecutor tanked the case, or fucking no one is having that law. Or both.
I tried to screenshot it for you but I was too slow. You get a little green toast that says thanks. I just hope it mostly goes to the dev. I'd rather give through Apple Cash or Ko-fi if half of what I donated just went to Apple or someone.
How is life so cheap. Killed himself over $63k. If I was ever going to do something that catching consequences was going to make me kill myself, it would have to be a hell of a lot more money than that. Maybe at 100x I'd take my chances. Maybe. I just don't understand.
People are so much stupider than I ever thought. And I thought I was a cynic.
Who would do such a thing??
I haven't visited in a while, but it's a great community.
Yes. 100%
Yes they are!
Yeah fuck all that. They can keep their discount.
I love in a suburb of a Midwestern state capital.
Here are my walking distances: (I'll do my best to convert distances)
- To the nearest convenience store: 3.2km
- To the nearest chain supermarket: 4km
- To the bus stop: 2.75km
- To the nearest park: 1.5km (it's a pretty decent park with a swimming/fishing pond)
- To the nearest big supermarket: 12km
- To the nearest library: 2.4km
- To the nearest train station: 10km (this isn't a commuter line, but a long distance city to city line). This is also where intracity buses are boarded.
- To State Capitol: 13 km
Of all of these, only the walk to the Capitol is shorter than the drive (by about 1.5km) due to walking paths. I've never walked it all in one go, but I have walked both halves of the trail.
I don't think I would agree that just because something is public that it's a public forum. I feel like the public has to own it as well. I looked it up and maybe it's because I predate social media by rather a lot, but I think of it in the classical sense:
Public forums are typically categorized into three types:
- Traditional Public Forums: Long-established spaces like parks or sidewalks, where people have historically exercised their rights to free speech and assembly.
- Designated Public Forums: Areas that the government intentionally opens up for public expression, such as town halls or school meeting rooms.
- Limited Public Forums: Spaces opened for specific types of discussions or activities but with certain restrictions on the subject matter or participants.
The important factor being public ownership of the forum. I will concede that it has colloquially come to include public social media, but I think it's important to distinguish that it's not really the same thing at all as has been discussed through most of our history.
Food for thought. I just think calling them public forums attaches too much importance to a profit seeking endeavor.
It's great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.
