Don't worry. I hear BMW made the airline seat cushions. Consumers will pay the per-hour license fee to use the heated and massaging feature in order to walk away with “only” varicose veins.
I wish airlines had comfy supportive seats like my BMW.
You won't find another sabbede here.
But there may be others on the internet that are not you, and to these people you are all the same. You should find that disturbing.
If someone used that name on Roblox and tried to send dickpicks to a kid, I'd say, "I don't have a Roblox account, that wasn't me." That's not what happened here though. This poor guy didn't say it wasn't his account. He thought it was.
Do you actually think outright denial would have worked better? He still would have been convicted with the same lack of evidence.
Police made a mistake, it sucks but they're humans, mistakes are bound to happen.
Yeah, they shoot a lot of innocent people too.
Humans make mistakes. We try to minimize them, but they cannot be eliminated.
Some are mistakes. Some are incompetence. They are not the same and should not be treated the same.
Doctors are required to have malpractice insurance because their mistakes can fuck up people's lives. Police and prosecutors should have the same. It is offensive that my tax dollars are used to compensate people for their fuckups, there is no incentive to be competent at all. Insurance would cover honest mistakes while being less tolerant of fuckups.
Given he himself and his own legal team failed to notice the error, I think you're posting emotionally and not logically. The defence in this case would have been trivial had it actually been noticed by *ANYONE*.
Actually the fact the "evidence" was that tenuous is pretty disgraceful to begin with. Even if the names matched, what is that proof of? If I commit a crime as "thegarbz" and not accidentally misspelled as "the_garbz" should that be enough to convict you with no other corroboration at all?
"move toward cooperation", China is relentlessly predatory and routinely attempts to globally dominate multiple industries. I don't think the rest of us need to cooperate with that.
America is getting pretty sketchy as well. For the rest of the world there is less to choose between you than there once was.
When your daily life becomes smoke-fill heatwaves, flooding, or similar climate-fueled disasters
Last year we had smoke, this year we have flooding. I'm old enough to remember these are not new things, they have happened before. Whether they become more frequent is hard to gauge in one lifetime. It's funny how people used to chastise "weather is not climate" at one time and now every single weather event is climate.
I'm actually quite happy, because it's not all that shit in your life that brings happiness.
This is certainly true, unfortunately happiness is something you have even less control over than climate. Life can change in a second, never mind worrying about 50 years from now.

Let me quote Kevin Anderson, director of the Tyndall Energy Program. Keep in mind that (a) he's a scientist, and scientists are trained to write conservatively, and (b) he's British, and they are trained to write conservatively. In other words, when a British scientists puts something down on paper, it's quite likely to be the opposite of hyperbole.
Most scientists have moved away from the end-of-the-world narrative. I suppose that is another definition of conservative though.
Nothing about it would have been easy or pleasant, and yet it would still have been less awful than the alternative.
You discount the amount of violence that would be required. That sort of global social engineering does not just happen without liberal application of lethal force. Or did you think the OP was using the world revolution figuratively?
There is no path for 8 billion people to have a "modern" standard of living in any case, but there are a number of possible ways it will all collapse. None of them will be pleasant.
