You want me to find illegally trafficked wildlife? What do I look like? A giant rat??

Yes, except bail bonds don’t exist, bail bondsmen don’t exist, and there isn’t a bail bond system.

In Canada, our Charter of Rights and Freedoms says anyone accused of a crime is innocent until found guilty and therefore cannot be held in custody unless the state can convince the court that releasing them would be a danger to the public.

Which sounds great, but bail is often denied because courts are easily convinced someone is a danger to the public. There is also a surety system but that’s to ensure someone follows bail conditions. If the court agrees to grant a conditional bail, the accused needs someone to act as their surety. If the accused breaks conditions, and the surety doesn’t immediately report it, the surety will be required to pay the court a very large fine. Not being able to find a surety is a common reason for bail being denied.

The qualities that make one a good worker do not make for a good CEO. A good worker thinks the best way to make money is to produce better quality product or produce it more efficiently.

A good CEO thinks the best way to make money is to lay off quality control and use their salaries to buy up company stock to increase the stock price for shareholders knowing the increase is instantaneous while the problems caused by not having quality control anymore won’t be realized for months if not years. Even better if they can force employees who didn’t do quality control to now be responsible for it, on top of their regular duties, while receiving no additional pay.

Gonna stop you right there Jeff. You’re not a journalist.

I didn’t downvote but personally I’m not sure what’s dystopian about fewer people reading long, dense books and choosing to consume other, shorter media instead. It’s like saying less people watching opera is dystopian. What’s the problem with a medium becoming unpopular?

These headlines keep saying $90 mount but it’s basically “$90 access the mailbox and auction house from anywhere, and also get a mount”.

It sucks that you have to buy a subscription and pay for the expansions.

That’s what got me. I was paying $20 a month and after a year or so and then they ask for $60 to play the new content. What did you do with my $240 in subscription fees? Is that not to pay for new content?

Answering that is actually very complicated and a great example of what the article is talking about. Trump specifically can vote because, while he lives in Florida, the conviction wasn’t in Florida but in New York. Florida defers to New York laws in that case. New York law says that only incarcerated felons cannot vote. Trump isn’t incarcerated so New York law says he can vote, meaning Florida law also says he can vote. If he was convicted in Florida, he wouldn’t be able to vote until his sentence was served, regardless of if that sentence was incarceration or probation. There are also certain crimes Florida never gives voting rights back if convicted, unless the Governor grants clemency.

How are they still in business? Every single farmer, bar none, has to know about their business practices

Wendover Productions has a decent video on John Deere’s market dominance. tl;dw It’s by cutthroat capitalism of course.

John Deere has bought out all their competitors and continues to do so. Every single breakthrough in farming equipment technology in the last decade is owned by John Deere. As a farmer, you either choose to sign a one-sided contract with John Deere or you use outdated inefficient equipment that John Deere hasn’t purchased the patent rights to. Or, of course, you sell your farm all together. Large corporate farms don’t care much about the John Deere contract since they have the power to negotiate a better deal. A lot of small farmers have been making the choice to sell out.

Soon, all farming will be done by one megacorp, buying their seed from Monsanto, using John Deere equipment, and cashing in a ridiculously fat subsidy cheque from the government.

It also helps to have so much wealth you don’t need to worry over things like affording food and housing.

Yes, and the most outspoken Gamers™ represent a minority. There’s a reason studios don’t pander to them.

Asmondgold is a co-founder of the media company One True King. Another co-founder is “TipsOut”, who is also a Muslim. He posted a very long message on Twitter about the hatred he and his family have dealt with simply because of their race and religion and called out Asmondgold for perpetuating that same hatred.

I don’t think he changed his mind because of Twitch. He changed his mind because his Muslim business partner sat him down and educated him.

Here are the worst offenders.

the Pope is infallible

Technically, the pope needs to explicitly invoke infallibility before making a statement if he wants it to be infallible. The last time this was done was 1950 to state Mary, mother of Jesus, had both her body and soul transported to heaven. Other statements are just the pope’s opinion and followers of the faith are allowed to disagree without being heretical.

I love this video so much. The interviewer asks Shapiro to defend his stances and Shapiro responds by calling the interviewer a liberal.

“A Georgia law you support would have women who had a miscarriage face trail for potentialy 30 years in jail. Isn’t that a bit harsh?”

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t know you were A LIBERAL!”

“How can you kill that which has no life?”
