The kid was likely 13. He should face consequences, but a 13 year old doesn’t have the mental development to understand the horrific repercussions for something like that. Throwing a 13 year old in juvenile detention for something like this won’t do him any good. Mandatory community service and probation are much more appropriate
The other issue is that skilled trade firms don’t want to hire new graduates because they don’t want to train anyone. Plumbing school is one thing, but getting out there and trying to shutoff a toilet that’s spewing shit can’t be taught. The only people making miney in the trades are those who opened their own shop 30 years ago. We need electricians and plumbers and pipe fitters, but no one wants to hire or pay new ones.
Picked that up in college. We would have house parties and the next day we would all get stoned and clean the house. Now i just instinctively start cleaning dishes whenever i get stoned.
Laundry can fuck right off though.
Because thr DNC is designed to eliminate any leftist/progressive momentum before it can amount to actual change. The whole point of the party for the past 50 years has been to make empty promises to people while shoveling money to corporations amd the wealthy.
You know that there are elections every year? If you are going to say that elections are the solution, you should probably advocate that people vote in more than just presidential ones.
Also very funny to say not voting for Harris is the same as beating up a homeless person as harrassing homless people was half of her job as a DA in California.
It just so happens that no one who voted is up for reflection next year and will likely not face any consequences. Very convenient.
“Guys! I keep voting for the lesser of two evils, but my country just continues to become more and more cartoonishly evil? What should i do?”
Why would Brazil care about US tarrifs since their main exports are in direct competition to America’s main exports? China didn’t buy a single US soybean this year, but they aren’t going without.
The Republicans sure dona great job of getting everything they want with a ghoul in the white house and a split Congress. So why can’t the Democrats?
We are looking at the mistake of allowing capital to offshore everything in the 70’s and 80’s. China didn’t force those companies to stop maintaining their existing infrastructure and outsource all their manufacturing overseas, they chose it in the interest of lower costs.
The satire is the DNC just admitingbit outright instead of sending you an email asking for money so that they can “keep fighting Donald Trump” or whatever it is that I seemingly can’t unsubscribe from.
See, my first thought would be to crack down on the tech parasites that are ruining out society instead of changing the law to accommodate them. But I’m just a dumb American who lives in a place where corporations are allowed to do whatever they want including killing whistleblowers, but I’m sure that the fascist parties taking power in Europe won’t do that.
There is nothing stopping the EU from going the DeepSeek route and just stealing the finished LLM’s from American companies. But the truth is that the EU shouldn’t want to have all these data centers training generative models. The us is already dedicating 4% of our electricity production to them, with people in states along the Great Lakes and Eastern seaboard seeing massive increases in their electric bills to pay for them (~30% for me in Ohio, ~75% for my brother in Virginia). I can understand if you are a technocratic neoliberal in the EU parliament that is taking bribes from tech firms why you would want this, but for anyone paying attention, rhe promises tech companies are making to burn hundreds billions of euros while gutting privacy, 🔏IP, and consumer protections at the top of the bubble makes no sense.
Maybe schools and social services shouldn’t be paid for by the local property taxes. That’s just a recipe for keeping the poor impoverished and giving all the advantages to the rich. Homes should be for living, not for investing
So tax homes on the value at purchase and adjust for annual inflation (across the board, not housing costs) and not the current market price evey X number of years after purchase.
When they say “standing up to Trump didn’t work” they actually mean that their corporate donors got mad at them and threatened to cut them off
Normal working people Don’t have million dollar mortgages
No, my mom is from England and i have to stand my ground on a lot of stuff because I won’t let a bunch of Limey’s criticize me for their own doings
Pretty harsh to the compact disc don’t you think?
