If I didn't already have a switch, or needed a new one for whatever reason, yeah I'd totally buy it. 50 bucks for a better kickstand, OLED, and an ethernet connection is easily worth it.

But I already have a switch, so I wouldn't have even bought a new "Switch pro" that people were getting their hopes up over

Can a 7 inch screen even do 1080p? Or is it even something that would be noticeable at a small screen size, even if it can?

OLED is gonna make it look nicer, but like, that's pretty much it. I'd buy it over the normal switch if I didn't already have one, but I'm certainly not going out and buying one just for an OLED screen.

DarkRoast posted...
Not trying to be a Nintendo defender here, but $50 more for an OLED option on any device is worth it.

Agreed. OLED Switch also has a kickstand that would actually work and double the storage size (still only 64GB, but still) an extra 50$ seems fair for that.

It sounds like Bill Cosby had an agreement with a prosecutor to not include the biggest witness used in his trial from an earlier agreement he had with the previous district attorney. This came from a civil trial the same woman put forward back in 2005.

Not including the main allegation (which was the only one with both sufficient evidence and was still within the statute of limitations) would basically mean there isn't a case against Bill Cosby outside of him directly confessing to these crimes. So they overturned the decision and let him walk.

So on one hand, it in no way suggests that Cosby was innocent in this incident, rather that a prior commitment meant that Cosby couldn't be charged with this specific crime in this specific case.

Depending on how you would like to see that, it could easily be seen as either Cosby being a victim of "outrage culture" who condemned him before getting a chance to prove himself, or it could also be Cosby being smart enough to cover his tracks so it couldn't come back and bite him (which legally speaking, seems like what happened)

In an interesting tidbit, the prosecutor who gave Cosby his out here (12 years ago) is currently best known for being Trump's legal defence during his 2nd impeachment.

tl;dr: In no way does this actually say Bill Cosby is innocent (or guilty) here, rather he's basically getting off on a technicality.

You are painting all vegans with a pretty wide brush. There are people who are vegan for perceived health benefits. There are people who ate vegans for environmental reasons. There are people who are vegans because of the treatment of animals. There are people who are vegans because eating animal products just weird them out. They share a diet in common not necessarily the underlying reasoning behind it.

Veganism has a lot of gatekeeping. Basically if you aren't very specifically doing it for the animals (and being really annoying about it) you aren't a real vegan, you just have a plant-based diet. As in, veganism is considered to be a lifestyle and not a diet. Plant-based is the diet (though a plant-based diet doesn't mean you don't eat meat or other animal products, just mostly plant products)

He is going to prison with some of the worst charges to have in terms of surviving.

Not necessarily (at least, AFAIK)

He pleaded guilty to effectively, shady stuff with a child (not necessarily sexual). Pleading guilty was probably a mix of a plea deal for less time and a want to not let any of the actual information on what happened actually get out (as it would in a trial).

The crime he pleaded to was something akin to "sending inappropriate material to a minor" which could technically mean anything from a dick pic (which this was probably closer to) to like, a scary movie.

With what he pleaded guilty to, its possible he will only get probation and serve no jail time.
