I'm totally ignorant to this concept of points. If paying now means it's off my record and won't affect my insurance, I'd do that. The money's the last thing I'm really concerned about.


It is definitely not guaranteed that just paying it won't affect your insurance. Definitely look into deferrals, mitigation hearings, etc. before you do that. There is zero downside there.

A lot of states have a "deferral" program for minor tickets like this. If you have an absolutely clean record you can have one ticket deferred every x years. You pay a fee (it's usually about as much as the ticket) but as long as you don't get another ticket for a year the case will be dropped and the ticket will never go on your record. You have to show up in court and request this from the judge though. And make sure you look up how it works in your state.

Allegedly they don't develop the characters enough and give you a reason to care about them. Especially Jyn and Cassian.

This is an important post. The movie has a slow start, but it is at most the first third that has problems, not the first half and certainly not "everything before Scariff."

I know the statement sounds ridiculous, but it's quite possible that she had no idea of the extent to which her son was fucked up and is having a hard time processing that information. It's certainly possible that she's a bad person too who raised him to be like this, but until we see any real evidence of that I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. If she didn't know, suddenly finding out that your kid is a white supremacist that just murdered someone is not going to be something you instantly come to terms with and give totally rational answers to the reporter that's telling you about it.


I'm not saying she's racist. She might not be. But that statement sounds a lot like a "Oh shit, how can I prove I'm not racist! I know. He had an African American friend. Yeah that'll do."


She was literally blindsided by all of this, so I'm willing to give her a bigly benefit of the doubt.

Nick Spencer: Issue 2 will lay a lot of our cards on the table about what the new status quo is, but the one thing we can say unequivocally is: this is not a clone, not an imposter, not mind control, not someone else acting through Steve. This really is Steve Rogers, Captain America himself.

So I guess you can argue that the ridiculous scenario they concoted doesn't technically contradict that quote, but really now.

Honestly, the whole thing feels like someone had this idea for one panel of a comic, but then they had no follow through so they just went with the first Deus ex Machina-type concept they could come up with to make their idea work.


Didn't they explicitly promise that it wasn't going to be some dumb deus ex machina like mind control?

Pretty sure you can't disobey a direct order without being court martialed.

If you think you're being asked to do something illegal, you do it, and file the complaint later.


I mean, if you are being ordered to something really illegal, you are morally obligated to refuse and hope that you are vindicated by the legal process later.

Sexism isn't about "oh you're a women I don't like you". It's about being under more scrutiny and not getting as much leeway as a man would. I really don't think anybody could argue that Hillary was under a lot more policing than any other candidate had gotten - a man fighting to get ahead isn't as taboo, it's "tough" and acting like a man. When a woman does it it's under a more critical eye. Shit she literally got blasted for not smiling at debates AND for how she did smile at the debates.


I agree with this while at the same time thinking it was much worse for Hillary just because she is Hillary. By no means should this be used as a reason to say we should shy away from woman candidates in general. A lot of what she took heat for was due to her negative charisma morseo than just being a woman. Uncharismatic men get similar treatement.

I mean you guys are literally the studio execs who thought literally Wonder Woman couldn't have a successful movie because Elektra and Catwoman didn't do so hot.

Hate to be that guy, but I'm not sure if electing another woman is the soundest strategy for Democrats next time. Most of us believed that it would have been tougher for Trump to be his normal douchebag self against a female opponent without feeling the repercussions. If anything, the opposite may be the case, with a female opponent struggling to hit him hard without being seen as shrill or a bitch. It's unfair as all hell, but it may be the reality of things.


You're doing that thing.

That thing where you try to take something that happened to Hillary as being a precedent for any other candidate ever.

I just never want someone with no political experience to run for President again. If some celebrity wants to run for Governor, Senator, whatever...I mean, I'll still make fun of the media circus like I imagine many of us did for Arnold, but it's generally okay. We're seeing on a near-daily basis though why you absolutely need some experience before becoming President, and now we're seeing the only people more arrogant than people who think they can be President: people who think they can be President without any past political experience. No thank you. At least finish a term as Mayor somewhere first.


Trump's main problem is not inexperience. It's his clinical levels of narcissism that prevent him from putting any effort into learning the job.
