Is this the case that was being watched because, as part of the settlement, the Sackler family was likely to be granted immunity?

…supposed to

Can you just sniff paint in your own home and stay away from reasonable people?

Holy crap! Did you hurt yourself whipping so fast to understand exactly the point?

Of course a broken person shouldn’t be punished for being broken! Fuckin duh! dipshit

Should such a person be prevented from harming others? Absolutely.

Is the right move to lock this person away for 30 days of to lock them away for the rest of their life? No. Neither of these is an option even a four year old would expect to prevent this person and others in similar situations from performing similar crimes. I am confident, in fact, that even you could think of a better solution if you thought about it for about twelve seconds. Is that solution, or any solution, likely to be the perfect solution? Absolutely Not. A solution that’s dog shit would be more effective than the one implemented here.

Celsius or Fahrenheit?

Pretending the incident was random and unpredictable is your preferred way of preventing incidents like this from happening again?

Figure out what how and why the problem came to exist, that’s kinda a big part of solving it.

If you have apples lying around, tearing one in half with your bare hands is actually pretty easy. There are quick guides on YouTube but basically, if I’m remembering right, you put the heels of your palms together at the bottom of the apple and finger tips at the stem and kind of squeeze the apple and try open the apple like a book. It makes a big difference having freshly washed hands.

I’d never heard of CAFE fees before;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_average_fuel_economy?wprov=sfla1

I think this is the specific bit that you are referencing;

CAFE has separate standards for “passenger cars” and “light trucks” even if the majority of “light trucks” are being used as passenger vehicles. The market share of “light trucks” grew steadily from 9.7% in 1979 to 47% in 2001, remained in 50% numbers up to 2011.

Interesting also;

In addition, a Gas Guzzler Tax is levied on individual passenger car models (but not trucks, vans, minivans, or SUVs) that get less than 22.5 miles per US gallon (10.5 L/100 km).

Mmmm I see you are a person of culture

These were the words I used when discussing an upcoming potential termination,

“But the person I’ll be on the other side of [this crisis of maybe termination] will be no more absolutely or permanently diminished than the one I became after any other of the subjectively substantial life-changing crises.”

I’ve lived through some pretty painful shit. I feel quite angry about the misery I consider my life to currently be, but I still choose to live. With these words I was explaining that this “disaster” couldn’t be any more miserable than the sundry other miseries I’ve learned to live with. The consequences of this “crisis” may absolutely be something I will hate deeply and bitterly, but I doubt it’s going to be the straw that gets me to break this camel’s back.

I like that. I’ve not drawn my personal philosophy so explicitly but if I did, I think it would be a lot like that.

Well yippee, that’s handy. I have eaten apples whole for years, the same thought never occurred to me for strawberries.

In my own example, I assumed it was a synonym with toxic MRA. Glad to hear it apparently is not.
