Comment still agreeing with the mistaken criticism above, despite the apology, just to be argumentative.

Not sure if this applied universally, but I remember for years and years the common knowledge was that plastic caps are unrecyclable for some reason, and there used to be separate bins to toss them at recycling centers. That’s no longer the case, so keeping the cap connected to the bottle is one way to demonstrate that they should be recycled together.
(By “recycled” I mean most likely shipped to Southeast Asia to then most likely just find their way into the ocean)
Texas is almost as long as California but quite a bit more thicc.
One additional factor, though, is that California’s major cities are mainly spread all along its lengthy coastline, while most of Texas’s major cities (Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Dallas, etc) are clustered in the interior, decently far but not that far from one another. So going between Austin/Houston/Dallas is not necessarily as daunting a trip as going from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Yeah, the justice system in the US is pretty fucked up. Provably so, with plenty of data made publicly available to back it up.
Administrative detentions can be longer. On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge’s signoff if they have proof of a crime.
This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a “black jail”/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison.
The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service.
The previous user is a bit off base with the labor camps idea (not to say that the Xinjiang detention camps for Uyghurs aren’t widely known), but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detentions/行政拘留 for smaller offenses which are kept statistically separate from prison counts.
If Raiden needs a source, the law covering administrative detentions can be reviewed here:
I almost want to dislike this if only because it doesn’t fit a usual ABCB or ABAB rhyme scheme like you’d expect.
This one is ABBB, which just seems weird on a read, I think.

Just for some extra context, the character having a bad day was promised “a crown” (make me king) by this group of warlords he enlisted to support him. He proceeds to be such an unlikable shit for such a long time, they give him “a crown” by pouring molten gold on his head.

Usonian evokes that weird Frank Lloyd Wright concept of kitschy suburbia that the US could do with substantially less of.
Stovetop@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•How often do you take him for a walk?173·1 month agoI think it’s more the fact that kids weren’t really brought to busy markets/stores 100 years ago, nor were there busy streets full of cars everywhere. They stayed home or just in the local environment, and typically mom would also stay home to watch them and make sure they stayed out of trouble.
I’ve had that happen as well. Teams decides to give itself privileged access to the microphone and then forgets to surrender that privileged access when no longer needed.
Other way around for me. At least Zoom listens to whatever I choose for my primary audio device on my PC, Teams just does whatever the fuck it wants.
Am I crazy or are the shades of blue in the key of that graph completely different from the shades of blue in the graph itself?
