Always

Im suggesting that police will find the evidence that best fits the narrative they’re trying to portray. If the phone helps their case, sure. If it doesn’t, or contains evidence to the contrary, there’s a decent chance it’ll get “accidentally” misplaced if it’s even collected at all. They’re out to prove your guilt, not suggest your innocence.

Does the defense attorney go out to the scene, conduct interviews, photograph items of interest, or secure custody of any evidence gathered?

It’s the police that decide what is “evidence” and attorneys argue over what they found later. A good attorney might go out and look for some of those things after the fact, but the vast majority will not. You either gather your own evidence or roll the dice with the police actually doing their jobs.

Well no, because all those phone records show is that someone was using your phone at your house during x times to watch videos. There is no verification that it’s actually you. Now, if we actually had face tracking technology to see whether or not you’re actually watching ads, that could change. But as for right now, no.

I’ve been running my own garden for three years now on a community plot. I don’t ask anyone to work for me, and I don’t pay anyone. I pick what I want and everyone else does the same. Sometimes they help, sometimes they don’t. It doesn’t change anything for me.

I can’t fix your busted local economy for you. I do know that paying $30/hr will get a lot of people out doing something they don’t necessarily like, even if they have to drive for it. Even in a place with ridiculous cost of living like California.

I knew guys who left their house at 1 in the morning to be 120 miles away for the start of work at 4. I asked one of them why they did it. They said “Where we live, you either go out and get a real job, or you work in the fields”. It’s not even about the money. It’s mostly about the benefits. How many farmers offer medical, paid holiday, or sick pay?

These guys worked 10s and 12s every day. They work hard, and they want that work to mean more for them than someone else’s profit. That’s ALL you are offering.

You’re not gaslighting anyone into thinking $17 an hour is worth much of anything. What the fuck does “some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works” mean?? Oh no, farms are paying more, better not work there. Are you retarded? You don’t see rednecks passing up oilfield work because it’s out in the middle of nowhere. Couldn’t possibly have anything to do with the six figure paychecks those jobs have. Nope. Hell, I bet if you dropped their pay to $17 an hour, every roughneck in the field would sprint as fast as they could over to thank you personally. What a fuckin genius idea.

There is no “international authority”. It’s all big stick politics out there. It’s like trying to go after a corporation in the US. The “punishments” when they break the law are fines, if that, and any admonishment not to fuck over the same person in the same way again.

Think about your boss shorting you $100. The “legal” process involves YEARS of waiting for a court date, a labor code interpreted heavily in favor of the employer, and at the end of the day, they get fines and maybe have to pay back what you rightfully earned in the first place.

Now think about what happens when you steal $100 from work. Immediate police involvement, possible arrest, absolute legal consequences even if you’re cleared years later, the presumption of guilt from everyone in society.

It’s even worse on a political stage. Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken. Everyone just waits around until the collective consciousness supports some sort of social consequence on the offender in question. That’s not even tying race or religion into the mix, which Israel loves to twist up into their particular brand of nationalism.

The civil world is simply too polite to call them out for all their shit. It’s a whole world full of chickenshit and I am tired of the stink.

I prefer audiobooks.

As a welder, I don’t really need my ears to do my job, so that frees me up to listen to stories at work. It’s great. It’s like a movie playing in my head while I zone out.

There’s also something very addicting about zoning out while holding something hotter than the surface of the sun in your hand, all casually and shit.

Hitler was a sociopath. He understood that other people liked dogs, and used it as a smoke screen to make himself seem more neurotypical. Nobody likes a freak at the eugenics party.

Shepard Book already showed us the way. Send them directly to the special hell.

This is what so many people fail to understand.

When your boss steals $100 from your paycheck, you’re supposed to file a wage claim, wait years for your day in court, and even when you show that the company stole from you, the punishment for them is a small fine ($50 per person first time, $100 per person every time after that). You don’t even get the fine. The fine is paid to the state.

Now flip it around and imagine what happens when you steal $100 from the company. Immediate legal repercussions, multiple court dates, probation if you’re lucky and jail if you’re not.

The entire system is designed to fuck people as hard as possible while reserving the kid gloves for corporations and oligarchs.

I am gleefully awaiting the day protesters start disappearing federal agents/national guard. Fuck all fascists, even the ones “just following orders”. No habeas corpus is a two way street motherfuckers

You misunderstand. Cops in the US have no legal obligation to protect OR serve anyone. Check out the NY subway guy that was attacked with a knife while cops watched from 10 feet away behind bulletproof glass. They literally hid in the conductor booth and watched this guy get stabbed in the fucking face repeatedly.

Not only did the guy survive, he actually overpowered and subdued the attacker. Guy brought a suit against the NYPD for failing to protect him when their motto at the time was literally “Protect and serve”. Long story short, the end result is that he got a real live judge to say out loud that police have no actual duty to protect you when it could endanger themselves. Coupled with your observation on the obesity of American cops, it could be argued that walking down the street to issue a ticket could be lethal for the cop in question and therefore they have no obligation to do it, they simply choose to do it out of spite.

Sounds like Luigi’s perceived actions created jobs and fostered better health for the community at large.

Someone put this man in government

It’s funny to watch Ted Faro play out IRL lmao

This is perfect

I’ve been seeing a huge uptick in AI generated shorts and videos on YT lately. I try to avoid them as much as possible but at some point on the doomscroll they become inevitable

Hana mean what mana mean and gana mean that too.

I mean yeah they kinda do or people wouldn’t exist today. At some point, some rocks have to get off for the species to survive.

A good 20% of the appeal in actually dating women is getting to use their forbidden female bath products every once in a while when your 11 in 1 manboy all purpose body scrub, shampoo, conditioner, lubricant, fuel oil, anti seize, weed killer, bug repellent, fire starter, persevative, and paint stripper runs out.

This confused me. Do men not shit? Do men not have shitters that are also perfectly servicable squatty potties? What kind of bar has a piss only bathroom?
