Yeah that’s pretty shitty to continue to sell a part that they know is defective.

I don’t understand. Leaving would “cost” his retirement? Why would he lose it by retiring? Is there a milestone like X years he needs to hit? If so why not stay (if it’s only 3 years, for example). It doesn’t mention him being sick or unable other than age. Why does retiring not use his retirement??

Even moreso, during breakdown of the killdozer the state intentionally sent the parts to many different refineries to prevent a worker or otherwise recognizing original killdozer parts and saving them as trophies to turn him into a folk hero. Specifically because he was just a butthurt bitch not some “rebel of the people” or whatever other icon someone could come up with.

“that there out back is my state approved 5 incher from a decommissioned deee-stroyer. The thought o’ one shot every six secn’ds keeps that neighbor kid with a YEW-kranian salvaged tee-80 on his own property line.”

Spoken with a drawl, as indicated

What’s the significance of the 1.5 million number, if any?

That’s weird so like people can just report a non-rulebrraking post and even if it doesn’t break rules “sorry not enough up votes to make it worth saving”

Exusia OP , 29 days ago

At least tell me I got hit with “silence brand” so I can post a new meme 😭

In law it is the defense who is supposed to argue the amount is too much, and the plaintiff should ask for as much as possible because at that point it is punitive. Second, while you may not feel threatened by any single interaction with police, this officer was angry and had to have exhibited aggressive behavior. These ingredients have resulted in lots of interactions going south.

Thirdly, let’s put you in this man’s position, we will make one assumption - that you know flipping a cop off is settled law and protected free speech. You’re driving home and you get pulled over. For what? You were just driving and not speeding, what gives? “Licence and registration. Do you know why I pulled you over? Because you flipped me off”. This is not a first level offence. This isn’t being on your phone. This isn’t driving without a seatbelt or speeding. This isn’t driving erratically. This cop just told you he’s going to ticket you because you flipped the bird, but you didn’t. You try to explain you didn’t and he’s going to get mad because you called him a liar. Now you have a citation in hand and you try and NOT swear and actually flip him off. He has deprived your freedom of speech and given you a ticket for it and you know it. If you’re gonna get a ticket you may as well do the crime right? So the officer, rather than writing another citation you know will get thrown, has your car towed. He settles you with a $300 tow AND a citation OVER A GESTURE that he is legally and constitutionally WRONG about, and you know he is. He then arrests you for it, and you spend an hour at the precinct settling this. Then when you’re free to go, you have to bum a ride to go get your fucking car. A month or so later, you have take time off work to go to court. You miss making probably another $300 because a day off. It gets dismissed because it’s a first amendment issue - you knew this would be the result all along. A minor feeling of vindication because you are now out $500 for missing work and other legal fees, maybe an Uber to go pick up your car, and have been harassed by a state patrolman, spent an hour in jail instead of whatever you were driving to go do. 3 years later the ACLU says "hey so you were right, and we want to sue over it. Would you NOT say “yeah fuck that dude” and sign on for it?

Minor footnote, he won 100,000, and 75,000 went to the ACLU

The defense would be the state, the state failed to argue he didn’t deserve it, and the ACLU their cut. I don’t remember if the article said it was by judge or jury, but even when a jury comes out with X number a judge can still say “yeah no that’s too high, I’m awarding Y instead.” So either way it was achieved, a judge felt that this was a fair number. Idk what to say beyond that other than I wish I could make 100k off something so silly but that is a lot of bullshit to put up with to be right. ACLU deserves some cut for doing probably all this man’s legal grunt work and legal time since he likely didn’t pay out of pocket for a retainer.

But I get what you mean about tax dollars. It should have come from the department something more tangible for the state patrol to not do this again

You right they quickly get prohibitively expensive. But because of the 3 year gap idk if he asked them to sue or they thought they had a good case or what that arrangement looked like.

For my question: What is your take on the memes here now compared to before the rexodus?

Best and worst could go to Fritz Haber. You may not have heard of him unless you’re into agriculture, but he is a Prussian Chemist, born in 1868. He worked with Carl Bosch and created the Haber-Bosch process. This process allows you to synthesize ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen. Large amounts of fertilizer can be made from this quickly. He received the Nobel Prize for this in 1918. It is what allows us, even today, to mass grow crops. His work, without hyperbole, feeds billions today.

However, his background in chemistry meant that in 1914, he was asked by his country to contribute to the war effort. After all, that’s what one does in war right? He devised heavier-than-air chlorine gas that would go on to be used to kill millions. He resigned from his field in 1939, but the nazis took his research and used it to form Zyklon B - the chemical used in gas chambers on Jews.

He is one of the people whom we ask “does their good outweigh the bad?”

Chlorine gas is one thing but you have to mix it with something else to get it to bouyant enough to be dispersable over large areas
