Totally agree. Mitigating circumstances, absolutely. Self defense, nope. There should be some punishment. What that should be, I do not know.

Most 17 year olds charge with murder, or some variation of killing someone, aren’t charged as minors. That’s not taking a position on this specific case, it’s just a fact.

I quit going to Subway when they changed their whole menu. I went and asked for a spicy italian, blank stare from the employee, “uh, that’s not on the menu”. I said “Okay” and left. The menu wasn’t structured to “make your own” thing not on the menu. Subway was never spectacular food but serviceable, quick, and fairly inexpensive. Not the case anymore, and the weird shit they’ve advertised lately looks awful. FFS, ad are supposed to make things look better than they are, so if these ads look better than the real thing, it must be dreadful irl.

I haven’t died yet. My house isn’t on fire.

I think you’re confusing prestigious with pretentious.

I just right now called them the Yankee Global Enterpirse. Checkmate.

Also, Toronto (Raptors) is not in the US, fyi.

Alas, you are indeed wrong. Because you don’t like the way things happen in the US doesn’t make you right. But we will sleep well at night, living rent-free in your head. You should go watch a soccer match to get your mind off of it.

I’ve seen Real [insert city] as a team name often. What is real supposed to mean in this context? It’s a REAL team? It’s REALly based in [city name]? Or pointing out that the other team in town isn’t REAL?

What a weird thing to be bothered by; Americans are so… shuffles deck…dumb with sports team names. I’ve seen quite a few like this lately, it’s kinda funny.

Anyway, I’ll admit there are some dumb names, especially in semi pro but how can you argue names like Raiders, Patriots, Eagles, 76ers, 49ers, Rangers, Trailblazers, etc. My personal stupid favorites are the Lakers (as in bodies of water) from Los Angeles, they moved from Minneapolis in the 60s and then the Utah Jazz, um Utah…Jazz? Yeah, they moved from New Orleans in the 70s. You’d be hard pressed to find any natural lakes in LA and I’d guess the jazz scene in Utah is underwhelming (never been there myself).

US cities don’t buy teams. Rich fucks do and move them to what they presume to be a more profitable and/or friendly market.

What’s hilarious to me about US sports is the soccer (yes, in the US it’s called soccer, I don’t make the rules) teams trying so hard to act like they’re European teams. Cmon folks, you aren’t an FC, you’re an SC.

I appreciate the reply, I’ll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven’t tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it’s no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn’t work, bye windows.

Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I’m not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.

Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I’m still getting a “Grubx64.efi not found” message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it’s a sign of problems to come?

The only issue I have now is that Grub is not loading to select Mint or Windows, so the compter loads Windows by defailt. I have to go into the BIOS boot menu in order to load Mint anytime the computer restarts. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I tried a few ‘fixes’ from the forums, with no change. Once I’m into Mint, everything I need is working as intended. I may just remove Windows entirely if it bothers me more.

This post inspired me to reinstall Mint finally, after years of Windows frustration. I’ve played around with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora over the years, but I’m ready for Mint as my daily. I still have dual boot with Windows (for now) and am still working out Grub bugs, but otherwise, it’s going great so far!

Gross.

Yeah, but Israel /s

Who cares? Fuck reddit. Half the content is bots anyway. So, bots stealing content to train AI to make content, which the bots will steal and repost. Circle of death for reddit. Good luck with that IPO.

You’re stating that “not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” I’m adding that “not guilty” doesn’t always mean “guilty but got away with it.” Which part confused you?

Similarly, “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “guilty, but we couldn’t prove 100%”. So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you’re implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

Shouldn’t park with your forks up
