Another privileged white guy gets no prison time after raping an intoxicated college student because it would be really hard on him in prison. -- (link) - Diva Aug 11, 07:32 9
- I'm so tired of blame being assessed to victims for getting drunk. -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 07:54
- Horrible. :-( -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:39
- "20 years to life on probation and 2 years in the Boulder County Jail on a program that will allow him to leave jail during the day [for work/school]" - Ender Aug 11, 07:34 6
  - Curfew. For Rape. -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 07:36 5
    - Except he'll still be in jail at night... That's an option??? -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 07:37 4
      - It's usually used for DUI manslaughter cases, not rape. The other case discussed in that article is also appalling. Also given probation, even though - jnine Aug 11, 07:52
      - "...Sentencing is hard..." -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 07:40
      - I think it is for lesser crimes where the guilty is producing for society - Will Hunting Aug 11, 07:40 1
        
        smh. In my humble opinion - if you get to leave everyday and go live your life YOU'RE NOT IN JAIL. -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 07:45
Why madeleines Flora? Why now?? -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 07:25
*sigh* So much shit has gone down in the Big Brother house in the past 48 hours and they won't be able to show any of it tonight because of the DE... -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 07:24 2
- DE? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 07:24 1
  - Double Eviction. They'll only have like 5 minutes for video tonight. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 07:27

Man, it's a hot one. - ML Aug 11, 07:21
Thanks to J, anyone else want to weigh in on this system please and thank you... -- (link) - Beaker Aug 11, 06:54 [Backboard] 6
- My suggestion is to use New Egg or Microcenter instead. That's terrible value for the money. -- nm - David's iPad Aug 11, 07:27
- that seems really expensive - go to hp and spec it out there and compare the cost -- (edited) - decline Aug 11, 07:21 2
  - This company is the one I use for friends. Very tight prices, and you only pay for things you want. - Bacon Aug 11, 07:28 1
    - They build it for you and ship it to what you want in it -- nm - Bacon Aug 11, 07:28
- What are you using it for. That really should have a SSD harddrive for that price. The 2 HDs are fine for backup but the OS should be on SSD - Bacon Aug 11, 07:20
- canirunit seems to think the video card isn't good enough. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 07:08
It worked! -- (link) - ty97 Aug 11, 06:52 [Backboard] 1

This song would instantly be #1 if it was released. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 11, 06:36
Ok. Fine. I did it. I bought NMS -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 06:34 10
- one of us... -- nm - decline Aug 11, 06:35 9
  - It is encouraging today that the NMS reddit has a lot more pictures of varied lifeforms. I was wondering yesterday to myself if the reason for some - oblique Aug 11, 06:36 8
    - Was thinking the same thing. I jumped into another 2 systems last night and saw lots of new lifeforms - decline Aug 11, 06:39 2
      - I also found my first basically dead planet. No fauna, almost zero flora, just rocks and crystals -- nm - decline Aug 11, 07:19 1
        
        I thought that was supposed to be most planets? - ML Aug 11, 07:32
    - 24 hours after launch: "Fuck this game all the planets are the same." - Shaun Aug 11, 06:37 4
      - I'm surprised how often I'm seeing streamers die to pirates in space. It seems to be pretty frequent -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 07:01 3
        
        I died in my first couple, but since I bought a new ship I've had 2 straight wins. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 07:14 1
        
        I've won a couple fights too. An upgraded ship certainly helps. I warped into a system and there was a distress beacon. I went to it : 10 pirates. - decline Aug 11, 07:18
        
        It's the only way I've died (and it's happened 3-4 times). Those space pirates ain't no joke -- nm - decline Aug 11, 07:09
Overwatch: Phelps Edition. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 11, 06:32 4
- I stood 1v6 on the payload for a solid 30 seconds about 1 foot from the checkpoint last night as Lucio - Reagen Aug 11, 06:34 3
  - Sounds like the other 5 were a lot more concerned with getting their Elimination counts up. - Shaun Aug 11, 06:38 2
    - It was even competitive, so no excuses! -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 06:58 1
      - Oooh there are lots of excuses for shitty players still playing shitty in competitive :) -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 07:12
~AND I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREEEEEEEEE~ -- nm - ML Aug 11, 06:30 2
- I've seen this before - it's too much exposure to 'Muricans. Stand back, everyone. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 06:33
- F YOU LEE GREENWOOD! - Epiphany Aug 11, 06:33
nmb Krusty - from the back boards ... inside - JenBro Aug 11, 06:30
new movie theatre report - has 3 different screens inside - we watched Captain Fantastic in the smallest one - 25 seats - it reminds me of some rich - JenBro Aug 11, 06:29 4

  - yep - a group of local investors - I linked their webpage yesterday here -- (link) - JenBro Aug 11, 06:59 2
    - That's pretty. New building or a refurb? -- nm - Amanda Aug 11, 07:08 1
      - brand spanking new ... but designed after the original one - which was located about a block further down the street -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 07:13
When the DEA says there's no medically accepted use for marijuana I guess they never heard of Charlotte Figi who no longer has seizures thanks to CBD. - Krusty Aug 11, 06:27 [youtube] 54
- While you know I'm on your side on this, I wonder if it's because they don't really know *why* her seizures stopped, do they? - JaxSean Aug 11, 06:52

  - maybe now that Malia was busted smoking a joint, he will get with the program. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:09 30

      - "was" is the key word here, it is not like he is hitting the bong while in office. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:20 2
        
        It's legal in DC so who knows. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:21 1
        
        of all the places for it to be legal! -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:24
    - was she? -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:10 25
      - I believe so -- (link) - groiny Aug 11, 07:13 24
        
        That was dumb on her part. It's like the Bush daughters using fake ID's to go drinking... - Will Hunting Aug 11, 07:16 23
        
        eh, she's a kid at a music festival, I don't really care that she did. - groiny Aug 11, 07:18 20
        
        As well she should...regardless of your opinions on the subject, it is still currently illegal (in most areas). - Jim Aug 11, 07:21 18
        
        [deleted] 14
        
        is it legal, yes or no? - groiny Aug 11, 07:28 10
        
        Small amounts of pot are decriminalized in Chicago. She would not have been arrested. Essentially she would have gotten a ticket at worst. And - pmb Aug 11, 07:36 3
        
        does not mean that it would or could not have been a whole lot of egg on someone's face if the wrong cop was involved. - groiny Aug 11, 07:38 2
        
        You're right. She's black. She could have been shot. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 07:42 1
        
        that was not quite what I was going for, but ok. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:43

        sounded like you were making it sound like it was a joke law. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:33 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Right. And all I was saying was that you were right about getting an earful from Daddy.... - Jim Aug 11, 07:30 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I was really just saying that as a father - I'd be disappointed in him if he didn't sit down and have a talk with his daughter - Jim Aug 11, 07:34
        
        And you were having anal sex with your boyfriend outside at a music festival and were caught on video doing it? - Jim Aug 11, 07:27 2

        as a public figure, whether you like it or not, you are held to a different standard. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:31
        
        Not where she lives though it is where she was smoking it. Still, being in the public eye should be enough to know you don't smoke in public. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:24 2
        
        nevermind, ignore this post. -- nm* - groiny Aug 11, 07:26 1
        
        Never mind, ignore this post. ;-) -- nm* - Krusty Aug 11, 07:27
        
        I'm not exactly caring either...live your lives; just be smart enough to know you're a public figure - Will Hunting Aug 11, 07:20
        
        i can't get worked up about it. public or not, they are still teenagers with a normal teenager's judgment. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:18

  - Well it's him and many others that allow this farce to continue. They claim that the science isn't there while denying scientists the ability to study - Krusty Aug 11, 06:41 20

      - I'm just frustrated with the lies from the DEA. Congress and the president need to step in and fix this because what we have is a complete mess. - Krusty Aug 11, 06:45
    - And Hillary is even worse the Obama. She'll leave it alone and we'll go another four to eight years with it being illegal like heroin. Here is where - Krusty Aug 11, 06:43 17

        She didn't have a good opinion on the matter until Sanders started pushing it. Until recently she was against the reclassification, let alone - Krusty Aug 11, 06:53 15
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        This was brought about by democratic governors and senators asking the DEA to be please reclassify so it can be studied. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:03 4
        
        They need to make it about the economy so it's harder to ignore. We're talking billions of dollars which means a massive increase in collected taxes. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:04 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        The gay weddings won't be close to what pot will bring in as far as tax dollars but you're still probably right. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:11

        Obama was a complete disappointment on this issue. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 06:55 8
        
        because i really don't know (and it's on-its-way-to-legality here) - are there roadside tests yet for drivers? -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:04 3
        
        Nope but that shouldn't be the reason to keep it illegal. They're trying out some but they're not very good. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:09 2
        
        i am all for legalization, but i think that's a pretty major thing that needs to be addressed. you can't put other people at risk like that. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:11 1
        
        I'd like to see them come out with something that can test a persons level of impairment but it's not as simple as with alcohol. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:17
        
        You can't be the first Black President *and* legalize marijuana. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 07:03 3
        
        By percentages it's about even or slightly more white people smoke pot than black people. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 11, 07:10 1
