Our long national nightmare is over. Facebook to add "dislike" button. -- (link) - ML Sep 15, 13:32 13
- I suspect it'll be more along the lines of "when algorithms detect sadness the like button with change" -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 13:44 3

damn you McDonalds, there are only so many places I can eat lunch around work in my calorie range. - groiny Sep 15, 13:06 5

    - He bought some super edition or something...that's what he was so pissed about. That he spent extra to get this version - Jim Sep 15, 12:42 1

from bb, mac cosmetics hasn't been marketing that specific liner - it's part of their fall collection. they usually stay away from controversy, esp. - b. Sep 15, 12:26 4
- I think I must have a very innocent view of what that phrase means... it has always reminded me of the movie as well -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 12:45 3
  - it's been around forever in more innocent ways, but its more recent use re: consent is definitely not uncommon. I don't want to take away - b. Sep 15, 12:52 2
    - Seems worth talking about to me. For better or worse, marketing and makeup are things people cae about and have people's attention. - con_carne Sep 15, 13:13 1
      - oh yah, I'm not opposed to the conversation at all, it just bums me out to see small things blow-up when there are huge things that get less attention - b. Sep 15, 13:18
Federal Judge rules that writing "FUCK YOUR SHITTY TOWN BITCHES" on a speeding ticket is protected speech -- (link) - ty97 Sep 15, 12:26 44
- But that lack of a comma in the appropriate place was a hanging offense -- nm - jangles Sep 15, 12:43 4
  - Maybe he's suggesting they have carnal relations with the less desireable of their unpleasant women. -- nm* - Reagen Sep 15, 13:24 3
    - Perhaps there's even more going on here than meets the eye - rollo Sep 15, 13:37 2
      - This Bruno Mars remix is not doing it for me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 15, 13:40 1
        
        hee! -- nm - b. Sep 15, 13:40
- 175 bucks (85 surcharge). He was probably doing 5 miles over the speed limit -- nm - decline Sep 15, 12:32
- despite his parents did not do a good enuf job raising him with adequite social graces, he should sue for harrassment -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 15, 12:31 1
  - He did sue (and won) -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 12:32
- That's like textbook protected speech, isn't it? -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:28 19
  - That being said...the dude is still a douchebag. Pay your ticket and shut the fuck up. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:29 18
    - or do what millions of others do, complain about it online. ;) - -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:32 16
      - Damn right. Or, ya know...just suck it up because you know he was speeding. - Jim Sep 15, 12:36 15
        
        I would guess he wasn't going that much over the speed limit, and that's what was up with adding "tyranny" too. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:40 5
        
        It's not all that relevant, but the ticket has him at 82 in a 65. -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:41 4
        
        so, barely speeding. Tyranny is alive in NY! -- nm - decline Sep 15, 12:46
        
        thanks, I was just going to check that. it's relevant because of what Jim said re: his speeding. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:42 2
        
        Yeah...17 mph over the limit...what can you possibly have to be pissed at the cops/town for? -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:43 1
        
        yah, google said it's known to be a speed trap; but his speed is beyond that annoyance - maybe he wants no limits. (doesn't change my thoughts on the - b. Sep 15, 12:47
        
        He paid the ticket. He didn't interfere with anybody or affect anybody's existence in any way. He exercised his constitutional right to express - pmb Sep 15, 12:39 8
        
        See your definition of harrassed and mine seem to differ here. Making him come to court to settle up his ticket doesn't equal harassment to me. nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:41 7
        
        If it's not harassment, it's close. The only reason the defendant had to come to court was to be told how much he sucks. -- nm - Roger More Sep 15, 13:05 1
        
        it is just another in a long line of examples of someone abusing their authority. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 15, 13:07
        
        Let's take a slightly different hypothetical. You drive through a red light where there's a camera and the camera shows a picture that you have a - pmb Sep 15, 12:51 1
        
        Dude, I completely understand what you're saying...I just don't agree. No big whoop. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 13:02
        
        Since he paid the ticket, it's harassment. You have the option to plead guilty and pay your ticket. He did that. Making him come to court so he can - pmb Sep 15, 12:46 2
        
        You don't always have the option of pleading guilty and paying the ticket. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:48 1
        
        Unless there is something beyond a moving violation where there is a chance for jail time or the amount of the fine is not fixed, you generally do. - pmb Sep 15, 12:52
    - Constitutionally protected douchebaggery is still douchebaggery for sure. -- nm - ty97 Sep 15, 12:31
- Well....yeah. - ML Sep 15, 12:28 14
  - This. If I had the power, I'd make him come to court too. But 97's right...arresting him went too far. -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:30 2
    - It's at best a judge wielding his power for his personal annoyance or amusement, and at worst an effort to chill speech. I think it's way out of line -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:34
    - Then we're all agreed. Drinks all around! *clink* -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:33
  - I do. It's a waste of time and money. Who cares what he wrote on the ticket. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:30 9
    - I care. Courts are entitled to a base level of decorum and civility, and if people can't accommodate that then I'm fine with a judge making the point. - ML Sep 15, 12:33 7
      - He wrote it on a ticket. He didn't disrupt the proceedings. It's ridiculous. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 12:35 5
        
        Clearly we disagree here. :-) -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:37 4
        
        I'm really surprised this is your view. Nobody's arguing that the guy wasn't acting like a 5 year old, but that doesn't entitle the court to harass - pmb Sep 15, 12:44 2
        
        We don't agree that making the kid come to court constitutes harassment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - ML Sep 15, 12:47 1
        
        If they hadn't done the arrest and that nonsense...this would have been a much more interesting case. - Jim Sep 15, 12:50
        
        Word. nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:39
      - And traffic court was happening whether this kid was there or not, so it didn't waste court time, really...I mean, they were all gonna be there anyway -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 12:35
    - yes. unless there was a specific threat or something, it's just acting out of being ticked. -- nm - b. Sep 15, 12:31
  - I have no problem with your IM and making him drive down there either - ty97 Sep 15, 12:29
- Jack Dawson really hates Chicago. Wow. -- nm - Shaun Sep 15, 12:27
May this be the best, happiest day in Darcy's life. you have all my best wishes for a long and very happy marriage. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 15, 12:21 4
- did they up the date to today? - Pippy with chopsticks Sep 15, 12:24 3
  - I remembered tuesday. I could be wrong. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 15, 12:27 2
    - it's thursday. (btw, for anyone gifting..) - b. Sep 15, 12:30 1
      - nevermind [as Rosanne Rosannadanna would say] -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 15, 12:32
