It feels like their rules are if your part minority, you’re a minority (which is how society treats people). However, you can only be a maximum of one minority in each category. Harris can be a women, but she can’t be both Indian and Black.
Minor injuries are common and occasionally recruits die
Even worse, this quote comes from an assistant professor of criminology and criminal justice at the University of South Carolina. Also, the start of the quote states:
The type of training described in the lawsuit is common in the United States and helps prepare recruits for scenarios they could face on patrol [emphasis added]
Maybe I’m being misreading, but I read this as the professor is condoning this type of training. This type of training seems to support the whole “Warrior Ethos” and I know when I left the Canadian Army almost a decade ago, they were trying to eliminate this type of training as higher ups recognized how toxic it is.
If we ever get a progressive president maybe we’ll actually fix it.
I’m not sure a president could make the necessary changes on their own. I think you’d also need a progressive congress.
It’s not zero-sum. For example, if you put up a PB (Personal Best time) and lose, that’s still a win.
FTA:
Bauer Food LLC said in a statement that the two 10-year-olds are children of a night manager and “were not approved by franchisee organization management to be in that part of the restaurant.”
So at very least, they’re in the back of the restaurant, where they shouldn’t be. However, given fact that the company isn’t disputing the two 10-year-olds were working, I think that pretty much means they were working.
But that’s not what this is. FTA:
Bauer Food LLC said in a statement that the two 10-year-olds are children of a night manager and “were not approved by franchisee organization management to be in that part of the restaurant.”
I’m not saying that. However, it’s highly recommended that toddlers have baby monitors with them while they sleep. So even if the parents were sleeping, their child’s distress should wake them up. This child was unattended, unobserved, etc.
Leaving a two-year-old alone in a car for 30-60 minutes (he doesn’t even know how long he was gone) isn’t criminal in and of itself regardless of the weather.
… ummmm, yes it is. Leaving a toddler unattended for an extended period of time is literally multiple crimes.
They knowingly left their 2 year old alone for 30-60 minutes. That’s already illegal.
Fine, but this was in England, where there are speedlimits everywhere and there is an ocean channel between it and the closest place without speedlimits.
This is the one that always gets me about “small government” people. They talk about inefficiencies and say, “the private sector can do it better,” which is debatable because comparing money and service is subjective (IMHO, they’re still wrong, but that’s besides the point). Yet most of them don’t want to properly fund tax administrators, when time and time again, they’ve shown they’re a money multiplier. If you want a more basic, striped down tax code, I once again disagree, but fine, that’s your opinion. However, in our current tax system enforcement is underfunded, and I think it just shows their true intent to enrich the wealthy.
That’s very different though. This article states he “knowingly left the 2-year-old in the car”.
IMHO, you shouldn’t be able to permanently disable it. We are in a climate crisis.
As a Canadian, I read 141 and thought, “141 km/h is pretty fast, but that’s not international news fast.” Then I saw it was mph!
Driving that fast on a closed course while sober with complete focus is dangerous. Yet this guy was drunk and texting on public roads.
“Sometimes mistakes happen," he said. "But I’m not a bad person.”
AFAIK, no mistakes happened, those were all choices. And by making those choices, yes, you are a bad person.
My 2020 VW Golf definitely turns itself off when in park, but also has the button to disable it.
It will even require a manual restart if it’s been parked long enough, which gets annoying when I spend a little too long dropping off/picking up something, and don’t notice the message, put it in drive, see the message and try to start the car, but can’t until I put it back in park. /rant
The dad went into the house, and when he returned to the car between 30 and 60 minutes later
This is the part that really confuses me, they were home. I get that parents sometimes need a break from their kid but:
I know it’s not the point of the article, but I’m also annoyed at the idea of someone intending to run their car for 30-60 minutes for no reason. I will admit I’ve left my car running just for the comfort of A/C while I’m waiting, and I don’t live in Arizona heat, but dude was home.
Most modern cars have an auto-off feature. Some have a button to temporarily disable it.
I don’t have a source, but it wasn’t that Netflix didn’t lose subscribers, it was that their revenues grew. Part of that was charging subscribers more, but a lot of that was the new ad-supported plans netted them more money than basic ad-free plans. Which is probably why they’re now sunsetting the basic ad-free plans.
Just a minor nitpick: the acronym is SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States), like POTUS.
And to be honest, I’m not a fan of sources reporting on themselves. Even if I considered this a reputable source (I have no opinion on it either way), I would want a third-party article.
