TopicStupid question: What does "defund the police" mean?

Is it just a catchy way of saying reform the police, or put some of the police funds into an accountability office (isn't this what internal affairs is for...?), or is it literal and it means no police?

Most cat owners just let their cats outside for awhile every day. None of this leash weirdness
My cat is declawed, and is strictly an indoor cat. So was wondering if I should start harness and leash training to let her enjoy the outdoors under supervision.

is it good for multiple cats, I know each cat needs a little box but it sounds like this is pretty good
Yes. The multiple litter box thing is because of cleanliness mostly. The litter robot will keep it clean all the time, so no issues.

I also bought the ramp, the guard, and the cadenza. The guard isn't worth it at all. The ramp is nice. The cadenza is an overpriced piece of shit. I also purchased a 3 year extended warranty, but I don't think it's worth the money if you want to buy it separately (it often gets bundled in for "free"). This thing is solid, overengineered, and very easy to fix (maybe three components that could ever break, and litter robot company sells spare parts).

Pretty sure they should have insurance for this.

what's an influencer? i keep seeing this term.
Basically an advertiser that specializes in social media. The person gains followers on social media with their charm, looks, personality, etc., and when they have enough followers, companies will give them products and/or services (along with money) for the influencers to advertise their product.

to be fair to amusement parks, theaters are being allowed to reopen and their business model is just as terrible for spreading in a pandemic.

Disagree, because you can easily have social distancing policies in place for theaters. I don't know how the hell you would do that on a roller coaster train or a water park.

Well yea. That's why if you get pulled over, you do everything you can to be nonthreatening:
* If you have tints or it's dark out, roll down all windows (weather permitting),
* If it's dark out, turn all interior lights on,
* Turn off your music and engine,
* Pull over in a safe place for both you and the officer,
* Be cordial and respectful,
* Clearly state your intent before doing something (e.g. "My license is in my pocket, I am going to reach for it"), and
* Let the officer know of anything that might pose a threat to him (e.g. "I have a carry license and I am carrying a weapon / I have a pistol in my glove box").

You do all this stuff, officer will return you the favor by being respectful and cordial back at you, and perhaps even letting you off with a warning (if you were pulled over doing something illegal).


Oh and if you do end up with a ticket, don't argue, don't do anything memorable; just sign and leave. Then consider your options:
  • Accept guilty plea and pay, or
  • Contest it in court.


If the ticket is less than $200 and/or carries no points, just pay it. If it's more and/or carries points, it might be worthwhile to contest it in court OR hire a traffic lawyer.

If you go to contest it in court, know that before you actually talk to a judge, the prosecutor might discuss with you options to accept a lower plea instead of actually contesting it, even if you are not represented by a lawyer. So it might be worth a trip.

$100,000,000,000: Your bank account suddenly gets $100 billion added to it. No one will know you got this, unless you tell them. World continues as if nothing happened.

World Peace: All state-controlled violence will stop (e.g., war). People will have freedom and peace among all people and nations. No one will know you are responsible for this, seemingly magical, feat. This will last for 1000 years, then the states will be free to wage war, isolation, etc. if they want.

That's it. That's literally all he has to do.

Then instantly, anyone who riots or protests further, will lose the media's and the people's sympathies. (until they find out the watch team actually doesn't do shit, if Trump picks shitty members of the judiciary committee)
