He is, of course, wrong. “More than twice” means 0, 1, or 2 times is fine, but anything else is forbidden by the constitution. The absence of the word “consecutive” does not remotely imply that the legislature intended to include the word “consecutive.”

That’s really cute. Too bad I live in the US where agro-chic 0 visibility kid killers are the norm. :(

I don’t know if the greatest argument for vs the greatest catalyst for. I didn’t become an atheist because of Christians, but I sure as hell started looking for answers because of them.

Depends on the person. It sometimes gets into the negative double digits F where I live. Its forecasted to snow around Christmas and I’m hyped as fuck.

That was literally my point.

Don’t worry, Israel will continue in their unwavering commitment to liberate your land from Hamas. /s

Did you accidentally replace your path rather than append to it? You might need to get a recovery drive, chroot in, and reset the path. Not sure what the actual value should be though.

Young gays in a christian household.

To me this smells of typical subsidizing of a product to capture market share then lock in that market share. Anything I’m missing?

That’s exactly it.

So it’s just a rate limited thing meant to get you signed up and then cut you off right when you get used to it. I get access through work and well, it just sucks.

Different operating systems have their own interfaces to allow user level programs (like games) to communicate with hardware. This is a great-over-simplification, but one OS may understand something like “drawTriangle(x, y, z)” while another may expect “drawPolygon([x, y, z])”.

There are software projects to attempt to translate commands meant for one OS for a different OS (such as “Wine” or Valve’s “Proton”) and those work fairly well in cases that: 1) there’s an analogous command, 2) the analogous commands have been accurately mapped, and 3) the analogous commands operate in user space.

That last point is the primary reason why, despite the best efforts of developers, some games still cannot work across OSs. Operating systems are built on top of different levels with the lowest being the “kernel” (of “kernel level anti-cheat” notoriety) and the highest being the user space (where you interact). Both Windows and Linux have these, but the boundaries around them, what they can and cannot do, and how to interact across those boundaries differs between each system.

So when a Windows game installs a driver to monitor everything that your computer does that driver (kernel level anti-cheat) is tailored very specifically to the extremely powerful, low level, and unique Windows kernel. Linux cannot run that natively. If the game pretends that spying on you is an essential component to launch then the game will not launch. If, however, a game is perfectly happy to just stay in user space where it belongs then it will probably work fine with the available translation layers.

I’m American, fwiw. Formally I say “double you,” informally I say “dub.”

Obviously not. Why would I stop advocating for prison reform when the work isn’t done? What did I say that gave the impression I was fine ignoring something I explicitly said was a systemic problem that required advocacy for all cases?

He wasn’t pardoned.

I’m also sick of the 2 tier justice system. That doesn’t mean I want all criminal rich fucks to suffer. It means I want all criminals to be equipped with the skills and support structures to be reintroduced.

I bet it was to the kids he unjustly imprisoned and their families.

Would 4 more years of house arrest resolve that?

Funny how that goal is only meet for rich connected scumbags.

Yep, that’s a systemic problem. The solution to that is not to regress to a worse outcome for all cases but to advocate for a better outcome for all cases.

Honestly not that big a deal.

Dude was sentenced in September of 2011 to 17.5 years. He’d have been released in February of 2028, so about 4 and quarter years from now. He’s already served about 75% of his sentence. He’s spent the last 4 years on house arrest.

Everyone involved in this scheme went to jail and had to pay restitution, and this guy’s off the bench, retired, and thus incapable of re-offending in the same way.

This seems like a textbook case of the President’s commutation powers, and now the state won’t have to spend extra money on him.

Biden commuted just shy of 1500 sentences and the media latched onto this case because it’s sensational. If this is the worst of the bunch then it was a good move.

Our incarceration goals should be to reintegrate people into society not just to put unsavory people in time out.

Its okay! All she did was murder someone and accuse 3 others of rape and assault so that someone would get to know God better!

How fat everyone is. You get used to it in the States, but when you first return it’s the most immediate thing to notice. Second thing is the amount of billboards.

Reality has a political bias.

Republicans killing kids again :(
