It’s actually title is District Attorney. But I court it’s the prosecutor and the defendant.

That’s how it’s supposed to work here. But the position can be political where the DA is elected and to appear “tough on crime” they prosecute even when they should throw out cases.

Most cases don’t even get to a court though. The majority get some sort of plea deal. The whole process is so fucked up, that a non-insignificant number confess even though they are innocent to just be done with the whole ordeal. Defending yourself can bankrupt someone and ruin their mental health.

Our system is rife with corruption and, IMHO it should be a lot harder for police and district attorneys to ruin someone’s life.

Me too.

Police aren’t prosecutors in the US. But they work closely with the district attorneys who do prosecute. As in they provide the evidence to them and provide their recount of the situation and circumstances to the prosecutor and if it goes to trial can be called to testify against you.

Additionally, many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.

Often since the prosecutors and police work towards the same goal of securing a conviction, we lump them together even though they are different agencies.

He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.

How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?

That’s not really the same thing. People that appreciate another culture and enjoy and use aspects of a culture in their life and might be offending someone accidentally and a bully who is trying to harm someone deliberately are different. Intentions do actually mean something.

I have lots of ad blockers. But my father watches YouTube on the LG TV app. I don’t live there anymore and hearing the ads from the other room became offensive to the family.

It was easier to just buy a premium family plan and call it a day.

Yea. I feel it’s a little underpowered. But I’ve got retroarch on it. It’s nice to be able to easily get psp and psvita games on it. Even if half are psx ports.

It’s become my main gaming machine at the moment. But I’m not much of gamer.

I gave that hope up years ago.

He backed himself into a corner and doesn’t want to admit that he can’t fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn’t enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I’d have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.

I mean… If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.

Att’s usage meter sucks.

Yea. It feels like every game wants to follow the current gaming trend rather than stay in their existing game design.

It’s been very weird seeing every game turn into open worlds, with story changing dialogue options.

Be kind and use people’s names. Also, just asking for stuff.

You’d be amazed how far it will take you just to ask for something, using a person’s name, and being kind about it. Demand something and people will be reluctant to give you a thing.

Yea. It’s simple when you change the question from “do you want to buy X?” To making the assumption that they already will buy it and now the only question is “what color will you be buying?”

Want to know a sad irony? The cart returns are usually really far from the handicap spots. Parking is close to the store. But the returns are halfway down the aisle.

Oh same. I’ve talked with friends about conceal carry. We all agree it would be the scariest thing possible to actually need to use it. We’ll pretty much want to exhaust all other options including running the fuck away first.

We couldn’t imagine the idea of actually living with having murdered someone. I know I’d pretty much immediately end up in therapy to help process it.

Lol I have several guns. Some I don’t know if I even have ammo for them at all.

I can’t imagine the mindset these types of owners have. They are afraid and they want to murder someone. I can’t imagine

Hell, the few rifles I have are stored with the firing bolts removed and locked up separately.

Did you check for registry keys too?

Procmon is the shit.

I dunno. That sounds like a Sturgeon’s General Warning.
