Problem is that the burden of proof to prove that they don’t actually believe their testimony is basically impossible. You’d practically need a direct quote saying they intended to lie for their testimony. Even quotes of them saying the exact opposite before and after the trial, can easily be defended by simply saying “I changed my mind. My testimony was what I believed at the time”
“Expert witness” has forever been deemed a useless title to me after watching the Derek Chauvin trial. They had a medical professional, I forget his qualifications exactly, but I believe coroner adjacent, professor, and some medical board member of some sort. Anyway, he testified, under oath, that is was possible, even probable, that Floyd did not die from asphyxiation due to the officers knee and weight on his neck and back, but from carbon monoxide poisoning because he was prone near a running cars exhaust, outdoors.
You could absolutely tell this guy was lying through his teeth the entire time. He quoted misleading lab statistics, like o2 levels in blood, like it was conclusive evidence of carbon monoxide poisoning, yet reluctantly confirmed under cross examination that those were expected levels for someone who had been given CPR.
It felt filthy just listening to someone with zero integrity completely misrepresent basic medical fact so grossly, under oath, as a professor and some hospital medical group board member. Someone who you should be able to trust implicitly, who seemingly has been responsible for dictating hospital medical policy in some form.
After that, I understood that you can pay some asshole in any position to testify whatever the fuck you want to in court. To out right lie.
Touch screens especially don’t make sense in the cooking context, where your hands are likely to be wet / damp.

The fuck are you implying?
Even worse. The single issue voters, or hard core progressive voters who voted independent or wrote in names on their ballot because they didn’t get their way. They know who was better for America out of the two real choices, but made the statement of “I’d rather see the country burn than participate”
Eh. Sounds like it could be very toxic, or just whiny worker bees, we can’t tell from the outside.
If the senior folk are basically tenured and produce very little while still holding the reins and preventing upwards movement of the high performers, that’s toxic. Basically a rug pull because they got theirs and limit the opportunities for the next generation.
It’s also entirely likely that they’re doing the work at a level that doesn’t include implementing the actual day to day, but the low level workers don’t see it, so make bad assumptions.
Who the fuck knows what the reality is.
Makes sense to me. The GOP get into politics to grift. He’s at the top of the GOP ladder in Florida. He wants the market value of his grift position. It has nothing to do with country or party.
This is on brand. He’s just saying the quiet part loud.
I mean, the housing market is fucked for the foreseeable future because the Trump administration kept interest rates ridiculously low, well after we had recovered from the 2008 crash.
This made a bubble from businesses and individuals borrowing as much “free money” as they could because it was easy to beat the interest, even from low performing investments. Obviously, a lot of this money ended up in the real estate market, inflating the shit out of it. Then the pandemic happened, and everyone was stuck at home, wanting to upgrade, and bam, crazy inflation.
So now we’re rather fucked. Prices aren’t coming down because people are locked into their stupidly low interest rates and can’t sell without taking a huge hit.
Big surprise that existing real estate owners saw their properties double as a direct result of economic policy, dictated by a real estate tycoon president.
AUX ports and cables wear out relatively quickly. And accidental cord pulls happen.
Seems like a weird point to dispute. The option for AUX is always a plus, but don’t need to sugar coat it like there aren’t drawbacks.
Definitely a bigger AUX problem since the same volume is typically used for the phone speaker and aux. Bluetooth is a separate media control.
They still need their conservative allies in the lower courts and conservative funding to get their purpose made cases to make it up to SCOTUS. But, I think you’re right. Those colluding conservative legal forces aren’t MAGA fanatics. They just used the movement as a means to an end.
However, the MAGA base is ultimately a force they don’t want to piss off directly. They’re domestic terrorists, and death threats their favorite currency.
These cowards got twisted in a knot when they were publicly ostracized after revoking women’s rights. Imagine how they would receive more than well deserved mean words.
No no no, he’s right. The logical conclusion of every online argument is a strawman.
Okay then. That was always allowed.
And as a service provider, they can choose to degrade your experience. It goes both ways.
Why would they do that? The point is exclusivity to foster peer pressure to all be on iPhone. Google offered to integrate with iMessage and vice versa, so that consumers would have the best experience regardless of platform, ages ago. Apple declined, and then removed some of Googles office suite apps from their store.
It’s a start. We can always add more regulations later.
People who partook in the FOMO feeding frenzy should not be immune to bubble bursting, even if legislation needs to be part of the mechanism. Home values shooting up 50-100% in under 5 years was a clear sign of bad market conditions.
On the plus side, loan regulations are much improved over the 2008 crash, so if you bought a house, you’re likely able to continue paying the mortgage even if your home is worth less than when you bought it.
He sure didn’t have an issue in 2015 and beyond when Trump was targeting the brown immigrants. Fuck you Mitch
