@ClownWorld It's in a bag. I would applaud her- way better than having poop in the grass to step in.

Woman walking her dog stops in front of a stranger’s house, throws a bag of dog poop into their trash can, and casually walks away like nothing happened. Some people really treat other people’s property like their personal garbage dump. Would you say something if you saw this or just let it slide?

@JezziiB A payment plan by which you can own a house. You don't have to have a mortgage, though. You can pay cash and own it outright, immediately.

"in communism, you don't own your house!" Babes, that's capitalism, what do you think mortgages are?

@miles_commodore Yes. Majority rule would ruin America. Tolerance and compromise is what makes this nation great.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

By 1900, the United States had achieved a 90% literacy rate largely by using McGuffey Readers in one-room schoolhouses.  But, yeah, NYC’s problem is it’s not spending enough money.

@WallStreetApes There are people who go through life doing this. I've seen waitresses get screwed by families who "demand to see the manager" and get their meal comped. They leave with zero tip, giddy about getting away with eating a meal for nothing.

Black Americans demand a full refund on their Dominos Pizza order because they said it was “nasty” They did not bring back any of the food, they just demand a refund The worker says she can’t refund them because she needs the product back to refund. They will not accept this, the food is at their home and they still demand a refund They relentlessly continue I looked it up, they should NOT get a refund Domino’s offers “make it right” with replacements, store credit, or rarely refunds for legitimate issues reported promptly. But “nasty” is highly subjective. Refunds are not automatic for subjective dissatisfaction, especially without evidence or return If they’ve eaten it or taken it home without bringing any back, there’s no basis for a cash refund Stop catering to people pulling this. They are just trying to get free food and it works

It wasn't enough to make business so difficult in California that Chevron had to move it's HQ out. Now Newsome is attacking the small business owners who run many of the Chevron stations. Chevron only operates 300 stations up and down the West Coast. If you DO happen to pass a Chevron station, keep an eye out for the signage saying "Sacramento policies did this".

Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron. Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’  Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.

This is the sort of thing people should be talking about. It really matters. Different issue, but in the same vein: Creigh Deeds was stabbed (13 times) by his son, who then took his own life. I'll let Wikipedia explain (it's accurate in this case): "though a judge had issued an involuntary commitment order for Gus, and despite an intensive search, no available hospital bed could be found to provide him mental health treatment in the days before the attempted murder and he was released home without the ordered treatment." If a STATE SENATOR can't get his son institutionalized when there's a clear problem, what hope do the rest of us have? We need a way to keep clearly troubled people off the streets after AND before they commit a crime.

(article length warning also sorta Twitter Law School) On diminished capacity as a defense to criminal charges being an example of the breakdown of the social contract. What is diminished capacity in a criminal context? Basically, it is a defense to a criminal charge that admits that the person did the act, however, the person lacks the capacity to form the specific intent to cause harm by that act. Get ready for some Lawyer Latin. In the US, criminal acts require two parts: actus reus and mens rea. Actus reus is guilty act - did this person commit this act. Mens rea is guilty mind - did this person have the specific intent to cause that specific harm. The easiest distinction for mens rea is the difference between manslaughter and murder. Manslaughter is when a person kills another, however, there was no specific intent to kill someone. Murder is when the person commits the act with the specific intent to kill the person. See re: Con Air and how Nicolas Cage was in on involuntary manslaughter while Steve Buscemi was in on murder. A defense of diminished capacity is a defense that the person who did the act was not capable of forming the necessary specific intent. The lack of capacity can be due to mental illness, alcohol or drug use, limited intelligence, or developmental disability. The argument for allowing diminished capacity as a defense is that a person should not be held criminally liable if that person is unable to form the specific intent to commit that crime. The issue is, of course, that the person did the act. There is a victim. Harm was done. And, importantly, if the person who did the act is not incarcerated, then there is nothing to prevent that person from committing the act again. If someone is so mentally ill or of such delayed development to not understand why not to do the act once, what is to stop the person from doing the act again? The social contract for diminished capacity was presented as this - the person who did the act will not be jailed for a crime since the person did not have mens rea. That peson will, however, be removed from society somehow, usually institutionalization. As a society, we do not want to jail people who lack the capacity to form specific intent, but we also recognize that those people are not safe to be around others. That's how it was presented. Everyone take a moment to laugh bitterly as to how it's played out over the last, say, half century. Diminished capacity is a prime example of the breakdown of the social contract. Only one side of the contract is being honored. People are no longer removed from society when found to have diminished capacity. Not only that, the categories of what counts for diminution of capacity seem to expand nigh infinitely while institutionalization contracts dramatically. People will say, very reluctantly, that someone who is severely mentally ill should be allowed to be institutionalized instead of jailed if, and only if, said institutionalization occurs for the same time period as the jail sentence would be. People will say, very reluctantly, that someone whose mental development stopped at late childhood should not be jailed if, and only if, that person is placed into some kind of facility where that person will not be allowed into adult society without intense supervision ever again. Again, I will pause to allow everyone's abs to recover from the work out from all the laughing. When the terms of only one side of a contract are met while the terms of the other side are openly violated, the contract is broken. The social contract on diminished capacity was protrayed to be that person cannot understand their actions are unsafe so that person will not go to jail but that person will be removed for society since that person lacks the capacity to comply with the rules of society. The removal of the consequences should result in the removal of the defense. That is the most generous outcome. /fin

Why are we not organizing and creating a new government according to our Constitution. Not a coup. Not a violent takeover. Just replacing a government that has clearly been subverting our beloved Constitution. The Bill of Rights is a legal guideline of what we're allowed to do. Again, why are we not organizing?

@HawkEmDownChris Regardless of Brunson's availability, Patrick Ewing. If he had been in a non-Jordan era, he likely would've won multiple championships without a partner as talented as Walt Frazier or Willis Reed.
