- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 6 days ago:
Shit I didn’t ever hear about this.
The Miranda warning isn’t required every time a police officer initiates an interaction with you.
For the Miranda rule to apply, a person must be in custody, meaning that they are “deprived of freedom of action in any significant way.” Routine traffic stops are usually not considered custodial.
For the Miranda warning to apply, a person must meet two conditions: 1) being in custody and 2) under interrogation. For example, if you are “un-Mirandized” and cuffed at the police station, blurting out a confession while you aren’t being questioned is admissible evidence in court because while you were in custody, you were not being actively interrogated.
Police are not required to read your Miranda rights before or during arrest. While some officers may choose to do so, they are only legally obligated to “Mirandize” suspects who are being questioned in custody.

yeah seeing him dancing in those stupid fucking AGI commercials now makes me hate him. I tried to watch a cute movie called the Sheep Detectives, and as soon as I saw his dumb ass face I had to turn it off.

But how quickly will hackers be able to gain total control of them? Cops will probably have the administrator password as “password123” or some shit. Or maybe instead of engaging in combat directly, they’ll just be running humanoid cameras, lunging after you no matter how quickly you run, or whatever fence you jump over. Long gone will be the days when you could simply outrun the overweight, poorly trained cops. Now these things will be just inches behind you, the whole way blaring sirens and recording your every move. 😐

- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
it’s because our society is designed around the appeasement of the rich, instead of the common people. More people are living in poverty, in toxic conditions, or are outright homeless. This has been going on for generations now, of people living with nothing. When you have a gun, and can force people to give you what you want, the threat of prison isn’t a great deterrent when it’s literally better than your current living situation. Desperate hungry people do desperate things.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Big dogs. Mastiffs, Labradoodles, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, German Shepherds, Dobermans… Along with some experience with little dogs. The only dog ever to bite me, or attack my dogs, were pitbulls. Two attacks, my whole life, all pitbulls.
I dunno, man. It’s just my personal experience, but shit. I know what kind of dog I don’t trust.

I live in NC and hate the hurricanes. Perhaps it’s just because I’m a disgruntled Blue Jackets fan, but hurricanes are one annoying ass fanbase, with a shitty owner, in a racist ass state that was the birthplace of the kkk and hasn’t changed much since then.
I knew I hate the hurricanes for good reason.
- Comment on If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda? 3 weeks ago:
so really, the only time he actually faced consequences for flipping out, was when he did it to a large corporation?
Yeah that tracks

routine veterinary care isn’t covered by pet health insurance?? What the fuck is it for then?
You know how insurance companies always have these massive buildings in every downtown? And you’re like, “wow, how can they afford to have such a large office right in the middle of the most expensive district to have it in?”
It’s because their entire operation is to take your money, and then never pay anything back. And because we are all so used to being scammed by them, we can’t seem to summon the inertia to do anything about it.

- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 3 weeks ago:
You wouldn’t get sunlight
Mad skylights, my dude.
it can get hot when you’re underground
It is almost universally known that being underground is cooler.
flooding will be a significant issue to tackle. Earthquakes might exacerbate the issue as well
Basements typically have sump pumps, and drainage. We build buildings that can withstand earthquakes, why couldn’t the structure of the underground dwelling be similarly strengthened?
you need to build all the infrastructure for somebody to move and live on the surface
Bro we already built that.

- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 5 weeks ago:
It would be Nintendo 64 for me, but, that’s also like the last gaming console I ever bought. Played with the Wii for a bit since I lived with a friend who had one but… nothing since then. So maybe I should say my PC instead? ah, but that’s not an exclusive gaming console.
OK, yeah, N64 it is. I just beat Snowboard Kids 2 for the first time, unlocking all the boards. t’was dope.

the jacket… he’s wearing? you think it flares out that much? Why is it a completely different color? or he took off his jacket, folded it into a perfect rectangle, and then sat on it? Gonna go ahead and trust my own eyeballs over you
- Comment on Keep off the sofa 5 weeks ago:
it’s because he’s wearing a diaper and on the faux leather seats, it would make a crinkly crunching noise every time he moved.

Just got back from a vacation overseas with a fresh and renewed hatred for my own country 😊
You know how lovely it was to be able to walk and bicycle and take good, reliable public transportation everywhere? Do you know how nice it was to have not just third spaces, but SO MANY of them, that if you didn’t like the look of some rando sitting in one, just walk a fucking block to the next one? Do you know how safe I felt, knowing that I wasn’t surrounded by psychopaths with guns, and had access to free medical care? You could sit for an hour and hear like 6 different languages being spoken. The amount of amazing food from all over the world just… like it’s a block from you.

- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 3 months ago:
you just really love the taste of boots, huh?
how dare you suggest we tax billionaires! Don’t you know they’re better than the rest of us? You can’t tax them because that’s not fair to the god-like status I have bestowed upon them! their money is special and shouldn’t be touched, they ripped off their workers and dodged taxes fair and square!
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 3 months ago:
The problem lies in the top 1% using their shares of a company as their personal bank account. They can use these shares as collateral for a loan, bypassing all income tax. If accountant can figure out how a billionaire can avoid paying taxes on the entirety of their massive yearly income, then others can figure out how to tax it properly. If you’re income is more than 70% this weird untaxable thing, then congrats, we gon’ tax it now.
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 3 months ago:
Listen the IRS has routinely made clear that every time it’s forensic accountants get to sink their teeth into a billionaires financials, the return on that effort is enormous. Don’t ask “how are going to tax billionaires,” first demand that they actually BE taxed.
We’ll figure it out later, man. Realistically, just have a team of specialists that focuses solely on the ultra-wealthy, and then let “unrealized gains” be taxed if they were ever used as collateral for a loan.

Pro-Tip: If you lay down in the shower with a bath pillow, you can collect a bunch of water in your groin, before releasing it like a wave. You can also point your toes at the shower, to get’em real nice and warm. Put a small damp cloth over your eyes and the bridge of your nose, and you can fuckin’ fall asleep. Feels like your back in the womb.
- Comment on Find what you like and stick with it 5 months ago:
it’s so much food, and stupid filling, but only like 2000 calories for the whole thing! When I want to lose weight, I can either stick very strictly to JUST that food, and I’ll lose about a pound or 2 a week with zero activity. However, I’m also an amateur bodybuilder, so I gotta keep up with my gym time at least 3 times a week, so if I maintain that activity PLUS keep to this diet, I’ll lose a pound of belly fat every 2 days. It’s pretty dope.
I like to get real sexy and svelt, get down to like 155 (I’m 5’8" Male) for the summer and for my birthday, once I hit my birthday, I’m allowed to eat whatever the fuck I want until I feel the itch to lose weight again. I’ll balloon up to like 185 or 190 in the winter with all my snacking and extra chocolate, but all the while I keep myself from going too crazy by sticking with my usual meal plan.
My guide to life is “everything in moderation, but especially moderation”

Shit I always thought I had a little 'tism… Yeah I’ve eaten pretty much the same meal plan every day for over a decade. Soup and Sandwiches! Can’t go wrong with a bowl of soup and a sandwich for dinner, nope nope!
Breakfast is Steelcut Oatmeal made with splenda, cinnamon, and a dash of salt. 2 cups of coffee, each with splenda, pinch of salt and cinnamon.
Lunch I don’t eat, just power through with caffeine.
Dinner is two open-face turkey sandwiches. Scirachi aoli, cheddar cheese, smoked turkey, turkey pepperoni, jalepenos, topped with a nice bed of crunchy lettuce. A can of high-protein soup, with some tobasco and (a lot of) extra beans thrown in, microwaved for 6 minutes, then pop in some Italian seasoned croutons, let them soak up the soup for like 15-20 min while you eat the sandwiches, turns that bad boy into a delicious bready stew. Add to it a pound bag of baby carrots, and a big ass iceberg/cabbage salad with whatever dressing for a great big bolus of fiber.
For dessert, Get you a sugar-free package of pudding in your fav flavor (Banana Cream and Pistachio), mix it with 3 cups of cold fat-free milk, let that sit while you eat din-din, then pour some rice krispies over the pudding, and eat it layer by layer, adding rice krispies for mouth feel as you go.
Fucking delicious. I’ve eaten that everyday for around 15 years now? I’ve gotten better recently, and have started having pizza nights, where I replace the soup and sandwiches with a whole pizza, but yeah, 99.9% of the time, soup and sandwiches. Classic combo. The best combo.
