why isn't he in cuffs https://www.justia.com/criminal/offenses/homicide/involuntary-manslaughter/ quote:The first type of involuntary manslaughter occurs when a defendant recklessly or negligently commits an act that results in the death of another person. Recklessness usually means that the defendant was aware of the risk that they were creating, while negligence usually means that the defendant was not aware of the risk but reasonably should have been aware of it. The level of negligence required for involuntary manslaughter is higher than normal civil negligence and requires that the defendant have acted in a very unreasonable manner. The exact language used to describe this negligence standard varies by state, but many refer to it as “criminal negligence” or “gross negligence.”

Rollins' old school stuff like some Flag stuff, early Rollins Band albums, Get in the Van, and early spoken word was really awesome. Past that he mellowed a lot with age but perhaps got funnier. Never could act for poo poo but whatever, he is legit. I met him in Austin a long time ago and saw Rollins Band perform in Germany.

Leperflesh posted:It's infuriating that our government doesn't do a loving thing about it. Like how is it that all of our phone systems are absolutely infested with scam callers? How do they have active working phone numbers, which you can supply to the police, and that does not immediately lead to an arrest at the physical location of that number's origin? Oh because we just let the phone providers provide anonymizing services, people out of the country purchase and use in-country area code numbers, all that poo poo just totally free and open. How is it that you can buy nine thousand dollars in gift cards and read the numbers to someone in India and now all that money is gone and irretriveable? you answer your own question in the next paragraph quote:But they all don't want to bother the kids, they want to fix things themselves, they want to feel smart and capable in their old age, it's this. the old and near-senile don't want to admit their own weakness, so it never becomes a political issue

# ¿ Mar 3, 2023 02:15 |

yeah M:I was good too. I like the tv series more there though, so I think less of the adaptation. in the TV series they’re always being clever and nonviolent. the movie is mostly a series of action shots

For the record I do not have 2 million dollars, if anyone was wondering. I'm sure you're fine, but be aware wealthfront is not a bank. in fact they don't even take liability for their bank partners.

I hope patch 1.7 will be coming within the next 2-3 months, should have a bunch of changes to game mechanics and perhaps further improved graphics. it will probably also lay the groundwork for changes coming in the Phantom Liberty expansion if you have limited gaming time and/or a killer PC, may wanna wait for that. I'm super looking forward to it. game is good

Why are people at all surprised or acting like this is some new trend? Did you really have respect for the Court as a staid and impartial institution 10-15 years ago? I haven’t held the Court with any respect for like 30+ years lol The Court of Brown vs. Board is long long gone
