They want cyclists to stop existing and every road to have as many lanes as necessary to allow unimpeded traffic everywhere they go. Every second lost to traffic and bicycles is an infringement upon their personal autonomy.

A grand jury is just to determine if a prosecutor has enough evidence to indite. There is no voir dire like for a trial jury.

And what it encourages is people saying shit they don't necessarily believe to try and get off the jury. Some folks have a job that will pay them their normal wages or a difference between what the court pays and their normal wages if they have jury duty, but it's not a legal requirement. So what you logically wind up with is pressure towards more well off people being on juries.

Yeah, I know it's not very nice. That was the point. We're assuming the same problems in one based on another because it's pretty well documented that it is a systemic issue. Every single time they go looking in any police department in the nation, these problems are found. Every single time, to varying degrees.

That's a silly attitude to have about cops. Nearly all of the cops out here getting into trouble for doing fucked up stuff have gone through multiple "reforms." It's a racket. "Just one more thing" might make them do a 180? They're just training how to better violate your civil rights.

Good cops who go against the grain become dead cops.

Shut the fuck up, we all know that the corruption is in pretty much every single department, and especially every single big city department. Don't be so obtuse.

Get his ass.

Yeah, no, this is common among shift workers. Typically a tour is a batch of shifts, like if you rotate 1st, 2nd, 3rd, each week of a different shift is a tour, or sometimes the full rotation through all three shifts is a tour and then it repeats. It's not strictly defined and people use it in different ways. Though I'm sure the coppers do love the idea of larping as soldiers and pretending they go on deployment.

I don't know any anarchists that claim that they don't get any benefit from the government. They're anti-government because of state violence, and either don't want the benefits that come from that, or believe we can get similar benefits another way.

Death penalty is purely retribution and that's not what we as a society be about, with one exception. I'm kinda 50/50 on one particular crime though, and that is crimes against humanity by ringleaders. Someone like Hitler could be locked away for eternity, but I also have a primal desire for people like him to be publicly executed.

The real anti-government crowd (anarchists) are very anti-government violence. The Republicans are just anti "government I don't personally benefit from."

Poes law

I'm aware.

Teeth aren't covered under medical insurance, so it would go to figure that teeth problems aren't considered a medical issue, regardless of how stupid that is.

They should dunk you in a deep fat fryer.

Bruh, people in the city have fucked up teeth too.

There's nothing special about the middle of the state that would cause them to have worse teeth than city people. Just feels like you're playing into class/regional sterotypes like "west virginians are inbred," which is generally not any more true than neighborhoods in the city.

The customer can fucking suck it.

Public education is what made this country "great" for you numptys that want to make it "great again."

I'd prefer if they keep nominating obvious losers.

I've heard that some sewer line insurance doesn't require a scope, but you can't use it in the first year or whatever. But the whole scope thing is why I didn't get it myself, because there was a spot repair needed for my sewer line. Then I had a major issue unrelated to the known issue and I had to replace my whole sewer line for a lot of fucking money.

The average can be weighed significantly by the extremes. The average age doesn't have to be number 25 on the list (if we were doing a list of states, unsure of the number of metros in the study). There's probably a bunch of states or metro areas that all have about the same average age of homebuying. So one state with a much lower average brings the overall average down.

The whole "thank you for your service" thing people do to military members is part of soldier worship, yes. You don't know who they are or what they did. Maybe they're a giant shitbag.

Because we're tired of the military worship. And as a veteran who hated his service because the military is a toxic and bullying workplace, I hate when people thank me for my service. Didn't downvote you, just explaining two possible reasons.
