Green, the DA, said he felt deflection was a better path to treatment than the criminal system, which can be a slow process, and that the fact that only some people were succeeding was a good sign: “We didn’t [make it] too easy or too hard. We really found that sweet spot.”
Oh fuck you. 70 or so people deflecting out of 1200 arrests is not success you pompous prick, it’s failure.
The irony of choosing the most pedantic way of saying that they’re not pedantic is pretty amusing though.
The problem with being like… super pedantic about definitions, is that you often miss the forest for the trees.
Illegal or not, seems pretty obvious to me that people saying illegal in this thread and others probably mean “unethically”… which is pretty clearly true.
GOP: “We only want to deport the illegals, if they want to be here they should do it legally”
Immigrants: “ok, we’ll come on this program specifically designed to allow a legal pathway to citizenship”
GOP: “No not like that!”
The problem is that It’s a cop out, a ruse, a diversion, a disingenuous misrepresentation of what’s happening here. It’s a flat out straw man.
Casting taking down signs that say “everyone is welcome here” as strengthening our children is simply not an assertion based in reality. Yes, we need to be real with our children so they can be prepared for the real world but this scenario is not applicable to that argument.
I would argue that taking down these signs weakens our children by sending a message that being different is bad—the exact message racists and bigots have been pushing forever. It robs them of a little bit of their humanity and we should not be tolerant of this.
If you don’t see a problem with the sign being up then I’m not sure why you needed to offer a counterpoint that we’re “over sheltering” children. Taking the time to write out a rebuttal sure would seem to indicate that you think the signs coming down are a good thing.
I strongly disagree with you.
Aside from the fact that teaching children to be inclusive and accepting is the path to these things being normal in the future, “well you have to learn to be offended” is the shield of the bully. It’s what people who want to be assholes say to protect their assholery.
But you know what, if someone needs to learn to be offended then maybe it’s the bigots and bullies that need to learn that inclusive language is here to stay and to just deal with it.
Safari definitely gets more hate than it deserves. I find it to be perfectly acceptable.
I would prefer more competition though, even though I know today it’ll be a ton of “cram some AI into it” slop.
Lol how did you miss your own point so comically?
You: liberals don’t get anything done they just squabble and their candidates don’t do shit
Them: you’re right we need to get our shit together and pick better candidates who will stop squabbling and get shit done.
You: nO nOt lIkE tHaT!!
Glass can and will break for no apparent reason, even tempered glass.
During manufacturing the glass can take on stress that is not visible but is a ticking time bomb. Temperature differential alone can push that stress past its breaking point.
That does sound like a good system.
I know this only because I spent way too long trying to figure out why older games look like ass on the LG haha.
Depends on your tv a bit. 30fps is fine on my steam deck, but on my LG OLED the response rate is too damn fast and 30fps looks choppy and terrible.
I’m not surprised. The argument at the time was that they needed users to be inside their own app and anything less was unacceptable.
Gotta gobble up dem user metrics, I guess.
Solid argument. Go you.
I mean, you lead with “logging out is hard so I have no choice but to have a single user”. I countered with “it’s not hard, we do it just fine, here are mechanics that make it fairly easy”.
If you don’t understand that closing the tv app stops showing the tv app I’m not sure how to help you.
I have been using a single Apple TV in a multi-user home for many years, I think you’re overselling the difficulty here. Virtually every app will just ask you what user profile you want to use when the app opens; and when you’re done, closing the app is simple.
It’s far more obnoxious to need to browse every single app for their content rather than having a single unified watch list and closing an app when you’re done.
Apple provides a system for apps to expose their shows to the TV app; effectively every app other than Netflix uses that system but Netflix intentionally removed themselves from it.
Which effectively removed Netflix from my viewing habits because I use the TV app to manage all of my other apps/subscriptions, and because Netflix doesn’t show up I never consume their content. I still think it was a really stupid move on the part of Netflix.
“Words aren’t dangerous” is one of the greatest misnomers of all time. Words have, repeatedly throughout human history, demonstrably been the catalyst for action.
Normalizing hate speech is a signal that hate itself can be normal. Hate speech has become violence so many times that I can not fathom not understanding that words have real power.
Regarding who may be making the problem worse, I’ll let a better spoken man field a response: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Did you miss the entire part of the article talking about how this effectively locks up the court system, deprives US citizens of their constitutional right to representation, and does effectively nothing to actually get people off drugs?
Tell me more about how you like punishing the poor for being poor, though.
