Yes you get due process, with a bias towards believing the system. People can often spend months in jail before the process progresses to the point where the charges get dropped. So yes a police officer doesn't have the power to put you in custody for your whole life, but they do have the power to put you at the mercy of a flawed system where you are rolling the dice with your future.

This hit way too hard. I find it so hard to just enjoy my hobbies because I feel like I'm breaking the rules.

No and no. It took society a long time to do this damage, I have faith that humanity is capable of fixing it. But it won't be fixed by you personally giving up straws, switching to canvas shopping bags, or riding a bike. That mind set was pushed by the fossil fuel companies to get people to blame individual behavior on societal failings. The solution is political. Voting is and organizing are the best individual behaviors to get results

Right? She's weird and skiddish, but she's such a sweet heart who's just happy to have a home.

Omg, our new kitten always has this expression. She's a rescue and has a few quirks. She never looks comfortable or happy. But she loves to get pets and scratches despite looking quite upset.

NGL I tried to figure out what joke you were making for several minutes. Then I finally looked at the second "CEO" my brain skimmed past it like 5 times

In this scenario she really seems to get along with your friends. So you guys would probably hit it off.

100% what I do. Print to pdf and then never go to the site, because they're so over loaded with ads and pictures that will load and cause the page to bounce around.

I think cheap in this case means inexpensive not poor quality. Hence they're asking the government to tax it to deter excessive use. Also it said it increased in the last decade. What do the 1900s have to do with anything?
