General chit chat and shit talk.

I answered a post on Facebook that asked "What bands are overrated?".

My answer: Queen, Kiss, Police, U2?

I'm hoping at least one person gets it.
 
Switch 2 release is such a letdown.

My first question: would I even want to trade my Switch in for a Switch 2 at no cost? Not even sure. Definitely not for $450. A little better hardware, going to 4K is nice, but I don’t even know if that’s worth all the transferring and compatibility issues.

The Nintendo guys who announced it at the Direct looked like the most annoying, nerdy brats.

Basically no Switch 2 games at release. Only Mario Kart World.

The “C” button on the remote is for some silly chat / interacting with friends feature.

$70-80 per game

They’re re-releasing a bunch of Switch games at full price as “Switch 2 edition” which includes a few gimmicks (basically a DLC)

Gaming world has gone extremely greedy. It's a shame
 
I finally got a good routine going for the morning after waking up. I'm routinely used to waking up early from my service but I finally have something productive to do after I wake up. What's your guys morning routine if it's not work?

I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Care to weigh in on this?

My guess would be not guilty. It was hers and she has the right to do with it as she wanted.

Without being able to look at the specifics of this case, and not looking at either specific state laws or this case's charging instructions:



The general rule in the U.S. is that you cannot lay long term, unattended, booby traps for potential criminals. So you can't rig a shotgun to your front door and then go out for supper, for example. And, according to what they tell us in the video, that's what the woman was doing here. So, in theory, should be found guilty of some form of criminal homicide.

I understand your point. It would seem to me if you think about it logically, if he didn't steal it, nothing would have happened to him. I'm not saying you're wrong but that the law should be changed if she could be charged with this. She didn't make him steal the wine or drink it. It's his own fault, a classic case of FAFO.

The law is a good law, and a sensible law in an era of police forces and forensics. When you leave something booby trapped, anyone can end up being the victim, regardless of their intent. Furthermore, in this case, you're defending what is essentially a vigilante carrying out the death penalty for the theft of a bottle of wine where there was no threat of harm to any "innocent" coming from the thief.

There is literally zero self defense involved here, and even zero defense of property, since the point of the poison was not to prevent theft, but to punish it.

I don't think it's a very good law at all. If I own something, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. And I should think you'd have a right to protect your possessions, by any means necessary.

It was his decision to steal it. If he hadn't broken the law, he'd be alive today. What happened to his responsibility? I don't feel badly for a thief quite honestly.

What about her knowledge that he had a key, and she intentionally did not change the locks? Would prior cases involving, say, and unsecured pool area and a drowning victim? Yes, the victim was there unlawfully, but the oner left a potentially dangerous item easily accessible.

You're more protected by the law inside your home. There's a difference between inside and outside. It goes from trespassing to breaking and entering, along with the theft.
 
I don't think it's a very good law at all. If I own something, I should be able to do whatever I want with it.

So, if you own a car, you should be able to run over random strangers on the street with it?


And I should think you'd have a right to protect your possessions, by any means necessary.

Good luck finding jurisdictions who back that in the U.S..

No, just people you know.

"I think". Maybe not a law, but my opinion. I think it should be that way. People have guard dogs. So if a dog bites an intruder, the owners should be arrested for protecting their property?

Still don't feel badly for a thief.
