Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing
  • Yes, post-offence conduct is commonly used as circumstantial evidence in trial. Regarding the hush money case, I think a big goal for Trump's team is to delay the sentencing until after the election.

  • Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing
  • Lots of people in this thread are asking why this would pertain to the case since it was only official acts that were covered in the Supreme Court ruling.

    Although the Manhattan case does not center on Mr. Trump’s presidency or official acts — but rather personal activity during his campaign — his lawyers argued on Monday that prosecutors had built their case partly on evidence from his time in the White House. And under the Supreme Court’s new ruling, prosecutors not only cannot charge a president for any official acts, but also cannot cite evidence involving official acts to bolster other accusations.

  • "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" (2023). Included in Amazon Prime, available to rent almost anywhere.

    A charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.

    This movie sadly bombed at the box office, but is in my opinion a near-perfect fantasy adventure flick that strikes a really good balance of narrative and comedy, and respects the source material without making it a prerequisite for enjoyment. I'd put it up there with "The Princess Bride" and I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a similar cult appreciation in the future.

  • Anon meets his gf's parents
  • Never had someone point a gun at me like that, but I dated a girl in college that had a dickhead 2nd amendment gun nut dad who never missed an opportunity to mention he had guns and wasn't afraid to use them if I "didn't take good care of his daughter." It didn't intimidate me in the slightest though, and just let me know he was a scared, insecure loser.

  • A reminder to love nature
  • Please don't present this as the norm for animal agriculture, as it's disingenuous at best. The rare instances where this occurs are far outweighed by the habitable land use that animal agriculture accounts for globally. And even in the countries you call out, such as New Zealand, factory farming is on the rise, and pigs are almost exclusively factory farmed.

  • Salad people go burr
  • I used to make fun of vegans too, now I am one. Othering a group of people might seem like fun, but just make sure you try not to think too hard about their position. I think you'll be ok though.

  • Well, livestock are definitely a major source of animal contact outbreaks, but I do agree with you that wild animals displaced from their environment as a result of land use change is a factor as well.

    And what is the biggest contributing factor in land use? Oh, it's animal agriculture again...
