For this to be relevant to me, they need to scale it back to
$500, $100, and tree fiddy.

Upvote for the pickup truck!

Back country skiing in Colorado when I was growing up, down the hill, through the woods to a road, hitchhike back near the top, hike the last couple hundred meters, rinse, repeat.
Nine times out of 10 it was a pickup truck with snow in the back that was picking you up.

This was right before snowboarding was really a thing.

He didn't mention Drop Bears.

From the linked article:

Later in the day, O’Neil joined Kaelin’s virtual courtroom again to ask the judge for clarification about the contempt order.

“Mark my words: If you take adverse action against me, you better be sure about it, because you made some mistakes here today,” O’Neil told Kaelin. “I will attempt to hold you civilly or however responsible that I can, and that’s my word.”

“As for that fine — straight cash homie, bottomline don’t disrespect me and try to humiliate me in front of my client and other professionals then think I’m going to sit there and take it whether you got on a robe or not I’m a person just like her I’m not her child nor do I work for her get respect and I give respect. Period.”

Before becoming a defense lawyer, it appears that O’Neil was a prosecutor in Jefferson County, Kentucky, where she encountered problems as well.

Take, for instance, Jefferson County prosecutor Shameka O’Neil, who last year resigned after falsely assuring a judge that no recording of a 911 call existed to be turned over to defense counsel in a stolen property case. She had spoken personally to the Louisville Metro police, she told the court, to confirm the lack of a recording. The problem being that, in fact, she had not spoken to the police, and there was a 911 call. Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Barry Willett dismissed the case, citing O’Neil’s “outrageous conduct.”

I would rename this, "stands in swan poop".

Let's be honest, her premise isn't at all clear.

Like she's saying that science doesn't have opinions, so you can base your opinions on science but you can't SAY those opinions are based on science because science doesn't validate opinion?

You can't ask someone if they're basing their opinions on science because...reasons?

She's reading opinion pieces, conflating those articles with science and then complaining that you can't conflate opinion and science.

My head's spinning.

Every time this guy lays down an assertion, he's presenting questionable supposition as fact. He's building all of his points from a shaky foundation of paranoia presented as reality.

There are definitely problems with the way that 24 hour news media is formatted and it is causing social issues. But the problem is a lot more complex than "a conspiracy of rich people controlling you". Any solution is going to require real objective, unbiased and clear-eyed analysis of how the news business works today. This video isn't that.

It seems she wanted to quit the case because her client wanted a defense instead of taking the easy plea deal. It seems likely that there is a long trail of defendants that were poorly served by this lazy attorney.

When I first saw all those people without health insurance crashing into the dock I was horrified. But then as the concrete ripped through the hull of thousands of people working for an unlivable minimum wage, I felt a little bit of satisfaction. Anyway, you can be sure that monument to forced overtime without compensation is insured and if there are any remaining costs, they can be covered by suspending pay raises and bonuses for another year.

This is exactly what an internet argument would look like IRL.

The costume theme completely changes when he stands up.

Welcome to Republican America. This is the world working as intended for "fiscal conservatives".

Are we great yet?

Exactly.

Fuck GM in their dirty tailpipe.

I don't think you really comprehend how absurdly overpowered our military is. It's a fucking joke.

It's offensive that people accept perpetually expanding military budgets to support planes, tanks, and boats while simultaneously swallowing the lie that we can't support the people in our country.

Oh yeah!

Well if they spent 54% of their annual budget on their military like the USA, despite facing no outside threat that justified the expense, they wouldn't have the highest standard of living in the world!

Checkmate Norway!

USA!
