@beardalaxy Yes, particularly since that wasnt information Kyle had in the firstplace anyway... although god does work in mysterious ways...
@beardalaxy In all seriousness i dont think the jury should have known that information. Like yea it does show that the guy was probably violent, but that was already painfully obvious just by watching his actions.
Damn! 😁
"The trial had grown so politicized that conservative groups raised money for Mr. Rittenhouse’s defense, and small factions of protesters — including gun rights’ supporters and racial justice demonstrators — had awaited the verdict on the courthouse steps."

@pthenq1 I mean I have a racist grandmother I love... So I guess its ok if you like a few racist jerks too :)
@realcaseyrollins I found and remembered the passage:
Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless–like chasing the wind. -- Ecclesiastes 6:9
Yea my paraphrase sucked :)
@realcaseyrollins likely because i bastardized it beyond all recognition which is likely why i cant recall the original phrasing as well :)
I went with Hue style Pho in case anyone was wondering. And some Taro Bubble Tea on the side!
@amerika If i eat taco bell I have to wear my water wings when i go to bed just in case.
@amerika I feel like reducing the number of explosive feces might not be sufficient. I personally prefer 0 feces, and if there are feces I sure as hell dont want them exploding.
There are two things most of you who dont already know about me should know, and they may seem at odds but I dont think so.
1) Aside from a a very small number of people who have earned my respect over the course of many years I dont care in the slightest what anyone thinks of me.
2) I have a strong consistent sense of morals I will uphold regardless of if it is compatible with those around me.
This usually tends to allow me to make a lot of jokes you might call dark humour and make all sorts of socially inappropriate comments. But I am always careful not to cross the line between cringe and immorality.
I will also always hear out a person who thinks I'm wrong and judge it against my own morality and potentially change my opinion or apologize for what I say. But this will never be weighted against how likely I am to be accepted by others if I change my mind.
I'm ok using a standard one as long as we uphold it. As far as I know "data is sacred, we never share your data, you can delete your data anytime" more or less sums up our policy.
@zpartacoos Worth every character :)

@zpartacoos Isn't it glorious? :)
@AmpBenzScientist Someone on twitter said "If this trial proved anything its that you can't shoot a gun into a crowd of liberals without hitting a pedophile or a wife beater"... I laughed so hard twitter almost banned me.

I want to open a #HamRadio store called "Perfect Example". It sells large antennas for your roof that all tune up to a perfect 1:1 SWR but have 0% effiency.
