Indeed. Why even live if you’re gonna die anyway.

You tell them you want your lawyer and you will not answer any questions until you see them. Your lawyer will tell you how to proceed.
If the police have nothing on you and wanted to fish something out of you, your lawyer will get you free. If the police have something against you and are pursuing further, your lawyer will inform you of what your options are. But generally, this is when you’re going to have to deal with this shit. It doesn’t matter if you did it or not at that point, but a lawyer will be your best bet to make it out on best grounds - whether that is get out free or with the smallest fine/sentence.
Just know:- if the police has something on you, and you did it, its game over, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has something on you, and you didn’t do it, its an unfortunate situation, a lawyer may help ease the price you pay
- if the police has nothing on you, and you did it, though unethical, a lawyer will get you off free
- if the police has nothing on you, and you didn’t do it, a lawyer will get you off free

Is this the guy who cured HIV in two embryos by gene editing and was then shunned by the scientific community for not following regulation and procedure and playing god?

Wait, is this true? Should we do daily bloodletting into the toilet to lose weight? Or are we counting the blood as calories… since they technically are?

Wish I had one today. That’s expensive today.
- Comment on don't tell the cable company about the splitter 4 weeks ago:
hears loud banging and glass shattering on the stairwell, as a 70 pound monitor tumbles and rolls down the stairs while 20 year old dust off the magnetron fills the air …its junk now.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 4 weeks ago:
The post is mocking a language, not the people who speak it. It may be in poor taste, but its not racist.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 4 weeks ago:
It’s called a creole language. An even simpler version is a pidgin language (there’s an example posted in one of the comments). Creole is usually a more evolved pidgin. Developed by children of creole speakers.

My point is, you should try it and play with him, because it’s legos and everyone understands legos and has an imagination waiting to be awoken.
- Comment on Anon does a drug bust 5 weeks ago:
Meh, minecraft is not so bad. Its pretty much legos. Did it change much? I played it in beta and never since.

- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 1 month ago:
- Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
- Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
- Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
- Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
- VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned
- Comment on Forever young 1 month ago:
Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt. - Comment on dating profile 1 month ago:

- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 month ago:
Isn’t quest 3 sold at a loss? Selling similar hardware at no loss will present a challenge.
Though, at the same time, there’s not much wrong with making low quantities of something and selling them at a profit, slowly. - Comment on Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers 1 month ago:

- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 month ago:
Price will make or break this thing. Rumors going around its gonna be around 1k which is a tall ask for the listed specs. 500, I’d buy it without any promise of any Valve backed VR game and I’m not even big on VR. For the rumored price, I’d need to see more commitment from Valve and latest news right now are saying they aren’t developing a VR title.

Octopus didn’t memorize shit. They saw fish and went to get them. Security guard don’t give a fuck about the fish tanks, they were at the gate all night.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 2 months ago:
I dont see it. Mario is a forever brand that is handled well. Sonic is a forever brand that is handled a little less well, but its hanging on. Ubisoft had a forever brand, possibility with rayman, but handled it like shit. Forever brand is a mascot and something that associates with the company. AC is an open world action game with little relatability between each title.
- Comment on The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective 2 months ago:
My favorite memory of the 3ds is probably from playing a link to the past. My worst memory was selling all the games I had for it… no idea why I did it considering the prices for them are insane now. Should have just kept them…
I still own the XL version and am not letting it go. Still play fron tine to time. - Comment on Anon is forever alone 2 months ago:

The more you zoom out, the more you realize how insignificant we are. I’ve heard a lot of people realized this when they saw “The Pale Blue Dot” photograph of earth, but I had to have the perspective of time to realize it. We are nothing, not even a spit in the sea.

Is it? What gives it away? Text on whiteboard looks suspicious, but it was probably added in post.
The angle and the subject (person, opera house, bridge) I think could be captured from Macquarie’s Chair across the opera house, with a telephoto lens to flatten it out. But I’m not 100% on it. - Comment on Grab your pitchforks 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t try it but whatever floats your boat. Who the fuck am I to tell someone what they should eat and like? Matter of fact, who the fuck are you?

When lunchtime approached at her usual morning time, Becca waited and waited, still and silent, till the sun set on the calm and foamy sea. She sat waiting in the golden hour sun, stomach churning, wondering why.

Sounds to me like they’ve made up their minds a long time ago and have proven their love for one another for over 30 years. I don’t think there exists a thing that could prove it better.
