It wasn't for one particular case. There were 3,000 lawsuits filed using it.

And frankly a three year statute of limitations for sexual assault is ridiculous.

Sure thing, totally a coincidence, it was just really bad luck for Trump

But 30 years is fine? You try finding a witness after 30 years, or security camera footage.


What mods do you use with SimCity 4? I've been wanting to get back into it and was looking for something like a mod pack without having to download a bunch of individual assets, but it doesn't seem to exist.

I don’t use any mods, I’m a pretty casual player but maybe I should look into some.

It is my understanding that we don't really know how this is pronounced and that this is just another instance of the Tetragrammaton [1] that is normally rendered as LORD with a few exceptions like this. This could just as easily be Yahweh instead of Jehovah.

They chose to do make content about one of their fellow classmates they knew would be harmful and shared it with others. It doesn't matter how aroused they were. If you're aroused, there's petabytes of porn literally all over the Internet.


The insider trading is pretty obvious right now.


Also kind of a weird complaint given how tied to Gnome Fedora is. Yes there are other spins but Gnome is the default DE.


He succeeded in opening a strait that was open a month ago in exchange for higher gas prices, destroying a nuclear program he himself said was already destroyed a year ago, killing an 86-year-old leader who would be dead in a couple of years anyway, no regime change, billions of dollars wasted, and dead American soldiers.

Such great deal making, love it.


Normally not unless they travel on public roads. If it's just used for farming it doesn't have to be registered.


It's not even a competent textbox. Try to scan barcodes into it for example, or use it with Autohotkey. It has some sort of buffering issue and lags horribly whenever characters are input faster than a human.


This is confusing to me. You value the time to return the cart more than €1, but not more than €0?


It's a similar phenomenon to day cares dealing with late pickups. They have a few chronically late parents, so they institute a late pickup fee. Parents who always picked their kids up on time because of the implicit agreement now have an explicit agreement that it's okay to pick them up late if they pay a bit more. So the incidences of late pickups actually increased at the day care. You're exchanging a trust based system for financial interactions and some people have very different motivations.

Putting a dollar amount on it quantifies “how much I’m pissing you off” on something that is assumed to be annoying.


It's not an uncommon reaction. There's lots of things that people are on average perfectly willing to do for free but are not willing to do for a pittance sum.


See donating blood.

Very common and widespread in the UK across all social classes. It is done purely altruistically (you will save a life) and the NHS makes life easier by providing pop-up donation clinics in shopping centres and works car parks.

In the US, people are paid to donate blood (!). This makes the whole transaction feel scummy and is, unsurprisingly, something many people avoid doing leaving only the poor to donate for money.


> It is done purely altruistically

I agree, but there are some advantages to donating blood regularly. It's a free blood-iron check, they also screen for various diseases and it's probably the most effective way of reducing microplastics in your blood. Also, there's the chance that you might need a blood transfusion yourself, so while you won't be getting your donation back, it means that there's more chance that your blood type will be available if you donate.


Popup blood donation sites are pretty common in the US, too, though run by orgs like the Red Cross. I've done it a few times, there's no payment involved besides some free snacks + drinks.


The mindset makes sense if you see his as an implicit service. The equivalent is if there was a dedicated cart collector every 2-3 spaces and you pay them $1 to return your cart. Now you're paying for a service.

It's like littering in a park vs not throwing your trash in the bin at a fast food restaurant. One is more of a commons that everyone has responsibility to clean up. The other is a private establishment who will clean up after guests if they don't. I'd rather just be clean regardless but I see the perspective.
