But you don’t own the art you watch/listen to. You don’t own the message on the bumper sticker. There is no difference.

But the 4th and 5th amendments do.

This isn’t due process. You’re just making up your own definitions in order to support your ridiculous argument.

I’m not surprised that a criminal like /u/GoatSynagogue, someone who is in the country illegally, would be advocating for such lawlessness by government officials. He needs to be captured and deported back to Antarctica immediately.

“Do you just not want laws enforced?” Says the person claiming a man is guilty before any trial and defending a warrantless arrest neither of which are legal.

Also a tool to give plausible deniability when shit hits the fan.

Go outside and touch some grass immediately for your own well being.

Lol where do you draw the line here?

You might as well argue that it’s tacky to wear clothing with colors and designs, like a specific genre of music, like certain genres of movies, like certain jokes, food, hairstyles, etc. All of these things are ‘symbols’ that reference you.

It’s not the same combination used multiple times it’s a similar combination from different states. Can you describe what the actual issue is here if you’re not a Flock camera? How often have you personally confused plates from two different vehicles?

In this case it was Flock cameras not reading the entire plate and omitting two numbers from it. If you’re really that concerned about plates getting mixed up, you should also be demanding that no two plates share similar numbers even when omitting some of the numbers from the sequence.

Yeah I meant a terrible defense for the driver. “It’s not my fault the car crashed into a house. I was sitting in the driver’s seat unconscious!”

What an awful defense to what happened.

I have the same issue with a lot of my zigbee devices whether Aqara, Ikea, or others. Even a device that reads properly will stick at 100% once the battery is replaced the next time. I just wait until stuff stops working to know when to replace the battery and have a 50 pack of coin cell batteries on hand.

I just saw a video from a local news channel about a different patch of land in Georgia where Georgia Power was given an easement across a bunch of people’s land, essentially cutting these people’s property in half, then they clear cut the forest at the back of their properties and installed some giant transmission line towers also to power datacenters. One young couple interviewed had just bought their property and were planning on using the land to grow food but now they can’t and they also can’t sell because only half their property is usable despite them having paid for the entire plot.

Your argument seems entirely disingenuous to me. Describe the situation where a student feels comfortable and confident enough to share this aspect of their life with their peers and teachers at school, but not at home with their parents. These parents are “loving and involved in their child’s life” but somehow also in the dark about their child’s identity and mental health. I don’t see how you can meet all this criteria without a ton of mental gymnastics.

Should this be extended further into other hot button political issues? Should a school inform parents if their white child is hanging out with black or brown students? Should schools inform parents if their straight child is hanging out with LGBT students? Should they inform parents if children are expressing leftist or right wing viewpoints? Why or why not? What’s the difference?

You are making a slippery slope argument because you’re taking a situation involving schools respecting a preferred name and pronouns and turning it into an argument about a child killing themselves and the school hiding the warning signs from parents.

If you were really concerned about children self harming, you shouldn’t be arguing that the state act as a snitch in a situation like this. Calling someone “he” instead of “her” or calling them by a name other than what’s on their birth certificate by request isn’t going to lead to physical or mental harm. Ratting a kid out to their bigoted parents when they’ve specifically asked you not to very likely will lead to physical and mental harm. These children aren’t property of the parents and they should be given some agency over their own lives as human beings.

What if the state refused to tell a kids parents that they were struggling with depression, and then the kid self harms, and the parents weren’t given the opportunity to provide the support network necessary to get them the help they need.

Gee, what if those same parents spent time with their own children so that they wouldn’t be so ignorant of them? No, better sue some teachers instead.

I’d probably switch my party designation if we didn’t have closed primaries here in Oregon. They’ve made it so you have to kiss the ring in order to participate in democracy.

Why is ABC trying to keep Flock’s name out of the headline?

“Another passenger had an administrative warrant and was the target,” Joseph Guzman, a spokesperson for Garcia, told Houston Public Media.

Except they’ve already claimed that they let all of the passengers go.

I don’t know why, but I find it so amusing that they decided to include the “with lighters and gasoline” detail in the headline.

I think us doing a bad job at hanging them would be the preferable way to do it. Maybe it’ll take two or three tries, but we’ll get there in the end.
