PSA Anyone knocking on your door after a heavy storm to see if you have roof damage is trying to take your homeowners insurance for a ride. Let them look, then tell them you'll think about it. When they inevitably find "catastrophic damage", call someone you trust for a second opinion.

For the most part it seems, folk that post edge lord stuff seem to just want to stir the pot, not actually engage in a reasonable discussion.

While I could be wrong with this user, odds are I am not.

The overall success rate of appeals is between 7%-20% depending on the year. Proven innocent is lower I'm sure, but not zero.

Not like they were trying to have one in the first place.

My 2¢ is that reasonable doubt is too low a bar, incontrovertible truth should be the standard for death penalty.

Yeah, repent is totally the wrong word for an area with Zubik as the Bishop.

Alright douchebag, I'll engage.

Why do you feel it's ok to have state sanctioned executions of innocents in a timely fashion just to make sure the guilty are killed?

In Presidential years generally. Or if there's a terrible candidate for the Pubs that cycle like Mastriano or Oz.

The state legislature has been controlled by the Pubs since well before Corbett put in the gas tax everyone blames Wolf for.

Before reading the article, my prior to coffee brain thought he went and picked up that $1,000 "inconvenience fee" check that was given to East Palestine community members.

This is how the three seashells gets started.

That would be a lie though.

Seems like it has pretty broad opposition for different reasons. From the city paying for a hub that companies whose grunts are independent contractors will profit from, to pedestrian safety.

I'm a bit high and was wondering "when did folk lay minefields in Pittsburgh?", then realized you probably meant coal mines and the such.

Though it would be good advice to to stay out of minefields in general I guess, so either way.

Right!?

He does kind of look like a diseased penis.

The fabulous and goblinesque Norton of course.

Well, Chip Chipperson does anyways and it's fuckin hysterical.

That's the bugaloos. Entirely different group.

This is Jim's alter ego, right?

All things being equal, on one hand MPD seemingly brought that upon themselves with drive by pepper sprayings of peaceful protesters and reporters.

On the other hand, provocateurs started that fire. Just look at who was charged for starting it. Fucking Boogaloos.

Chip, it's always fun to see your insane takes not on a podcast.

As critical of the nationwide culture of policing that I am, I have to agree with you. PPD has come forward leaps and bounds from where they were in the "task force" era.

While officers such as Amel that were allowed to continue being shitbags speaks to how far they still have to go, I'm not going to allow perfection to get in the way of huge progress. The surrounding boroughs on the other hand still seem to have a lot of the sturmgewehr "punisher" types.

Might as well get it in place before the GOP mandates forced births.

Also, Kelce's celebration speech was fantastic.

It is probably legal for them to request a change in terms of the contract, but you are under no obligation to sign the new one. They do have the leverage of outright dismissing you. Depending on your work history over the past 15 months, that leverage becomes nearly null if you're financially eligible for unemployment. Basically of you've worked the entire past year (for any combination of employers, and made >$600 from this one). The actual rules are less ballparked than that, but check the FAQ on the DoL website to make sure.

Changing the contract benefits only the employer in this case. They want you to work an extra eight hours weekly for the same paycheck. There's honestly zero incentive for you to sign this new contract.

I would start looking for a new job regardless, they seem scummy.
