I’ve never seen “dufus” spelled that way before, it’s immediately enticing.- like you hybridized the word with “Rufus”.

The claim that hating the Israeli government is anti-Semitic is deeply anti-Semitic. Trump leveled the same core idea at Col. Alexander Vindman, that as a jew, his true loyalty must be to Israel. It’s an all too common anti-Semitic trope.

Your question makes very little sense. How do you think prosecutors work, exactly?

The order of operations for going to prison is:

1. Cop wants to arrest you. If the cop has no genuine excuse to do so, this arrest won’t go anywhere (they can still lock you up for up to 24 hours at will). If you’ve just committed a crime in front of the cop, well, that’s easy, the cop just puts you away; skip to step 3. If this is an investigation, the cop goes to step 2.

2. Cop gets permission from a judge to arrest you. This is called an arrest warrant.

3. Cop arrests you and puts you in jail. At this point you should lawyer up, but as that is not compulsory, it is not a distinct step in this list.

4. Cop gives evidence to prosecutor. Because there is a time delay between 3 and 4, the cop may do additional investigating before this step.

5. Prosecutor decides to prosecute (they may choose to dismiss instead).

6. You go to court. Judge asks you how you plead. You plead not guilty. The media pretends this is notable, even though no-one pleads guilty ar this step (it is called arraignment).

7. The evidence against you is shown to you. The judge again asks you how you plead. This time you have a genuine choice in your answer.

8. Optional: if you pled not guilty, go to trial. Jury convicts you.

9. Judge sentences you to prison.

That’s the basic pipeline.

Note that cops don’t have to do their jobs at all, which is most likely why, as the article discusses, they don’t. Why get paid to work when you can get paid to not work?

So it’s conservative to refuse to ban tobacco? Do you agree with the general consensus that it’s also conservative to ban marijuana? How do you square those two attitudes, if so?

I’m deeply unfamiliar with Arkenfox, but does it really supercede NoScript? One of my primary uses for NoScript is bypassing soft paywalls.

1. Absolutely everyone with an interest in a self-defense firearm would prefer a “high capacity” one. The only guns that aren’t high capacity are single-shot and revolvers, both useless for self-defense in general.
2. High caliber is not relevant here; we are discussing all weapons Connecticut has defined as “assault”, including low-caliber ones, not specifically e.g. .50s. For example, some AR platform rifles fire 22 caliber rounds, very famously a low caliber by anyone’s definition. 2A) If it were relevant, you would be wrong, as low-caliber weapons are completely useless against bears and other large wildlife, as well as anyone in body armor. People don’t buy self-defense firearms knowing what threat they will need to stop.
3. Same again for Rifle; the statutes in question label many non-Rifles as “assault”. 3A) Rifles are significantly more accurate than handguns and hence are significantly more credible for home defense than handguns, whose only benefit is portability for self-defense on the go. Given the choice between a handgun or a rifle for home defense, only a fool would choose a handgun. Because home defense can include close-quarters combat and is never going to include very long distances, a relatively short-barreled rifle is your best bet - only a fool would choose a long rifle optimized for hunting long-distance targets.

Working out is pain and suffering, but you can get so used to it you don’t notice/mind the pain.

Also, clearly the clients are still new. I’m trying out Connect and Liftoff. Connect didn’t indicate anywhere obvious that I had a reply and has no button I can find to reply to replies. Liftoff handled both of those better, but it also hid your reply at one point and I had to use Connect to make sure it still existed. Neither client has a button for seeing reply parents, so to be honest I do not remember the comment you replied to and have no easy way to find and read it.

So far it seems like Reddit but with a lot less content. I’m assuming that’s primarily a popularity problem.
