Podcaster Tim Pool said no-fault divorce is “ruining relationships,” on an episode where he cites Jordan Peterson and jokes that, “maybe we would just be better if, I don’t know, women just had to wear red dresses and bonnets.”

I know what would actually make the world a better place, but I can’t say it here.

And in case you haven’t been paying attention, the Trump fascists want to undo all that with Project 2025.

I’ve boycotted Ubisoft for so long I’ve forgotten why I started the boycott originally.

Haven’t missed a damn thing.

I support this Pipe Dream.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a Congress that will vote to limit its own power.

Think for yourself.

Well done.

<slow clap>

This is legit one of the best games I’ve ever played.

@unormal is a great guy to boot.

We’re about to see how dirty Insurance companies can get.

The few that are still alive?

Use OpenShell

No, that’s why we host our own gitea.

Dropping the price of FO76 to $8 probably had something to do with that.

Reminder: The pirates won the last time they tried this crap.

I understand wanting to pay for the years you’ve already used it, but is there really any reason to use RAR over 7zip since 7zip will uncompress RAR & seems, from personal use, to have better compression for most filetypes.

I only go there on accident.

Why New York state is suing Trump instead of charging him with crimes

James seems to be taking this approach, as opposed to a criminal indictment, because New York law empowers the AG to seek damages caused by fraudulent business behavior as a form of consumer protection. The law doesn’t require the AG to identify a victim or even demonstrate anybody suffered harm. Plus, the burden of proof is lower in civil cases than in criminal ones.

“What makes this statute particularly powerful is that there doesn’t have to be a loss,” Will Thomas, a law professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, told Yahoo Finance. “This statute has been used to disgorge profits illegally gained. The government can be allowed to claw back all of those profits. Provable nature is lower, and you don’t have to prove intent or willfulness.”

A civil suit also prevents James from bumping into the criminal case against Trump’s company that the Manhattan district attorney is prosecuting. Those two offices sometimes work together on criminal cases, as they’re doing on the recent indictment of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. With regard to Trump, however, they seem to be pursuing complementary approaches instead of overlapping ones.

So the answer is: it’s easier to win, it’s easier to punish Trump & they can still file criminal charges after a successful civil case if more crimes are uncovered.

A civil case can end with a criminal indictment however, which is certainly coming at this point.

See my other post in this thread for why it was done this way.

People keep asking this. I guess it’s the new spin the Trump fascists are trying to work.

President can’t pardon state cases.
