Someone told me to just try adding a meatless dinner once or twice a week and build from there

The thing about building a factory in the middle of Smalltown, USA is that you have to build the factory, then you have to be prepared to entice prospective workers to move out there. Or train up the local population. You then have to to have the company stick around because the moment they leave, that small town will collapse.

Correct, it's not accurate at all

This is some weird trolling

Photos: Heards injuries and the damage Depp caused to their homes are well-documented. Heard took photos of herself in the later stages of the relationship and her injuries appeared in at least one red-carpet picture. The LA Times report from the day she filed her restraining order notes that she arrived at the courthouse with visible bruises.

Contemporaneous communications: Both Heards and Depps texts from their relationship confirm her basic outline of events. From the earliest incident of violence, Heard told friends and family about his jealousy, his attacks, and his denials. The UK trial includes a text from Depps assistant after the private-jet blowup saying, when I told him he hit you, he cried.

Both trials have featured numerous texts in which Depp admits to becoming a different person when drunk or high. My illness somehow crept up and grabbed me, he said in a message to Heard. I of course pounded and displayed ugly colors to Amber on a recent journey, says a message to a friend. His sister texted Depp to say, Stop drinking. Stop coke. Stop pills.

Witnesses: Numerous people describe seeing Heard with bruises, cuts and missing chunks of hair. Depps staffers testify to the damage he caused to their homes and hotel rooms. Heards acting coach says she had to schedule a longer session with Heard to help her work through the trauma of the relationship; a makeup artist says she helped cover bruises.

The final alleged abuse incident, in which Depp threw his phone at Heard, was witnessed in full by her friend on the other end of the call. Two more friends testified that they saw him acting aggressively toward her on one occasion and her sister confirmed another (she also testified in the US trial that Depp once held her dog out of the window of a moving car when he was drinking).

Tapes: Numerous audio recordings include tacit or explicit acknowledgments by Depp that he exploded in anger at Heard as well as some of those explosions themselves. In one she says, I cry in my bedroom after I dumped you a week prior after you beat the shit out of me, and Depp replies, I made a huge mistake. I wont do it again. In another Heard says, put your cigarettes out on someone else and Depp replies, Shut up, fat ass.

Video: Heard surreptitiously recorded one of Depps outbursts. He doesnt hit her and this isnt one of the incidents presented in the UK trial, but it shows his anger and how it interacts with his alcohol consumption.

The nail in the coffin was the donation fiasco though. Once that happened, I knew there was no way she was winning. No normal person could side with her after she was forced to admit that.

The greatest and most effective gotcha was her charity donations. After she negotiated her $7 million divorce settlement, Heard announced that she was donating half to the ACLU and the other half to Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles. Over the course of the trial, Depps lawyers revealed that the charities hadnt received the full amounts and that Heard had lied about giving the money away.

As with all of these gotchas, it looks bad until you show the tiniest shred of human interest in discovering the facts. While its true that Heard hasnt donated the full amount, all evidence indicates that she intends to. In 2016, after her divorce was finalized, she entered into an agreement with the ACLU to give them the full $3.5 million over 10 years. She made the first payment but delayed the rest because Depp started trying to sue her into oblivion (she says shes spent $6 million on her legal defense so far; who knows how much more it will cost to appeal to Virginia's verdict).

Large charity donations are routinely spread out over longer periods and representatives from the ACLU testified that Heard was transparent with them about her financial circumstances and remains committed to completing her payments. The proven lie here amounts to a relatively minor misstatement: She said I donated when she should have said, I pledged.

Could she have been more precise? Sure. But a minor misstatement or, at worst, a slight exaggeration of her generosity doesnt demonstrate that shes capable of the kind of sociopathic calculation necessary to fake abuse claims, lie under oath, and convince nearly a dozen people to commit perjury.

Evidence and amber heards awful awful awful performance as a witness

Was there any specific catalyst for your desire to eat less meat, or is it just an incidental thing?

I love black beans and rice, havent had it with tofu but it sounds like an awesome meal. I need to incorporate some chickpeas into my diet, I dont mind how I do things now but its a little embarrassing when I tell people yeh I eat pretty much zero variety. It works tho. Do you eat pretty strict to stay in shape?

Out of curiosity, which style beans do you pair with those other items?

A fuckbuddy/friend who I guess was no longer happy about the arrangement and wanted to know who else I was banging, but decided to deal with it in the most batshit way possible. It's very weird to have someone lurking your posts, and not even the first time this has happened to me.

I had to delete a reddit account once and a (very) small part of me was annoyed about this because I had like, 70 gildings, 10 or so frontpage posts and a buttload of karma on that account.

on the other hand, we've all seen those videos of people storming walgreens. and they do it cuz they know they're just getting a slap on the wrist if they get caught. so why not steal?

If raising the limit led to the increase in theft, then yes, it absolutely should.

I can easily go to Mcdondalds and get something less unhealthier and cheaper than some 15 dollar grease bomb taco burrito from a food truck

food trucks

How often does stuff get stolen in Ohio compared to San Francisco?

Is this the guy that made stealing less than 950 a misdemeanor? If so then good fucking riddance.

I read property and violent crime went down under his time as DA. Is that not true?

"The truth doesn't matter if enough people believe the lie," while true, is maybe not something to say with glee.

The truth is that violent crime was down under Boudin's watch.

If I were a liberal, I would frame this a @mattyglesias style "popularism" take: if you want real criminal justice reform to stick, you have to be keep the streets clean.

Not if the people who are doing it are incompetent

Basically. People have bought into the idea that the only way to fight crime is to brutalize the poor and minorities.

At a lot of business Teams has functionally replaced the telephone, at least for internal communications. I treat it the same way. If it isn't a particularly urgent matter I'll ping them if they have a second to chat, but like it certainly isn't rude to call them if they are green without the heads up. It's not like it rude to call people on the phone without texting them first.

That was a totally inappropriate thing to retweet; that said I would not have called him out on it publicly. I would have talked to him in private and given him the opportunity to do the right thing. But that's just me.

Public shaming on social media often has a grossly disproportionate penalty inflicted on the person you shame. A single retweet like that may have cost that guy his entire career, and that's why it's important to contact those individuals in private first. Unless you really do want to destroy somebody's life over something stupid they retweeted, in which case that's pretty harsh but you do you.

The consequence is still the same though. If she's perceived as focusing on such matters it will push voters away. Democrats as a whole tend to be a rather disparate bunch, so optics and presentation matters more to them when compared to Republicans: who get to lean on 'sticking it to the Dems' along with frequent use of guns, Jesus, and phrases du jour such as 'critical race theory'.

From the opposite perspective though those people will view her as being quixotic, tilting at the imaginary monster that is the word 'latino' instead of focusing on the concrete problems facing society. E.g. asking themselves, "Why is she talking about this right now when people are getting gunned down left, right and center in this country?"

But Ms Ocasio-Cortez objected to the idea that the term would alienate voters. If putting a little X on your campaign literature is what you think is the difference between winning or losing an election, you need to talk about health care more, she said. You need to raise peoples wages. You need to talk about more issues that also matter to people.

He will also be a vote to fill judicial vacancies, which, as we have seen, is pretty important.

As far as anything beyond maintaining the status quo, hes less than worthless, and that why the mainstream Dems love him.

Does CE think Biden would even have the balls to appoint actual liberals
