  The situation described in the article would not be entrapment. Presenting the opportunity to commit a crime does not constitute entrapment, usually you have to be coerced in some way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t you lie to me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok that’s a little different than being arrested for picking up a random wallet on the sidewalk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t you lie to me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  For what crime?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  “If it bleeds, it leads” is as true as ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Europe’s experiencing the longest hot war since Wordl War II

  I believe you that this is true by length of time, but there was a lot of war going on in central and eastern Europe in the 90s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you vote why don't they just say something like this will raise your taxes for this and over here won't. Wouldn't it be simpler?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because not everyone’s taxes are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While is it always the person's fault who rearended you? What about the person in front of you stopping all of a sudden in the middle of a highway?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably not true to say that it’s always the fault of the rear-ender. But most of the time it’s because said person was following too closely. If you maintain a following distance of 3-4 seconds you should be able to safely avoid almost any collision caused by a sudden stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was the MCU original in that the created a whole universe connected by different movies?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not completely original, but it is the definitive example in modern of a shared universe in modern culture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it is fact male ejaculate travels at 28mph. How did they measure that speed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just distance divided by time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civic duty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why they call it a civic duty, not a job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't politicians during a hearing let the person they are questioning actually answer questions and speak?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of times it’s because they’re asking yes/no questions or questions that should have simple, factual answers but the other party refuses and instead uses a lot of words to dance around giving a direct answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do women actually enjoy sex?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I made a snarky comment but after reading the body I realize you’re a female OP.

  Go see a doctor. Yes women do enjoy sex and if it’s painful or uncomfortable you might need to get something checked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do women actually enjoy sex?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s a lie made up by the patriarchy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spongebodyssey⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’M A GOOFY GOOBER

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re underestimating the level of technology in 2400 BC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well anybody could do it.

  But there’s lots of things I could sell from time to time, including labor or sex. Would it make it my profession if I did so once in a while? Or would I need to do it full time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like farmers? Or weavers? Or metal workers? Or shepherds? Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Certainly there were other professions before 2400 BC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And certainly that would not count as a profession because that labor is not specialized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How old is the "world's oldest profession"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s hard to say, because what counts as a profession? Do you need specialization of labor? Or money?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technology⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It is so incredibly frustrating, I can’t even listen to “Juicy” by Biggie because of this which is a travesty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sort of you wasting your time with me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t even let them get that far

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s bladeless on the outside, and that’s what people care about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SBA #185 insprirograph⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ate there more galaxies in the universe, than stars that can be seen from Earth with the naked eye, or with a telescope?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  With the naked eye or with a telescope are two very different questions.

  But the answer to either question is “more galaxies in the universe.” Estimate of galaxies in the observable universe is 2 trillion. The Milky Way contains at most 400 billion stars, most of which will not be visible with either the naked eye or a telescope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it a bad thing for a host of SNL to bring in their own or other writers to help write jokes and stuff? Wouldn't it take some of the pressure off the SNL writers? If they all agree on things?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it a thing that normally happens? If not, I can see how the SNL writers would get pissed off at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Behold, the future!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do love Costco though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying from Taco Bell wasn’t on my 2026 Bingo Card⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The pessimist in me says that sometimes the profit motive makes people make the right choices. The optimist in me says that people at TB care for their customers and want to give them the best. The truth probably lies somewhere in between.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plato's bus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually really funny

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying from Taco Bell wasn’t on my 2026 Bingo Card⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Taco Bell took more action sooner than the US government did.
