See, this is exactly what I’m talking about.

SatansMaggotyCumFart is almost always making a joke. Every once in a while he says something not joking or trolling, and it’s wierd.

Yeah, seems complicated.

Mangione still faces murder charges in a state trial set to begin next month, but his guilty plea in federal court is expected to have significant impacts on the state trial. New York state’s strict double jeopardy law could potentially upend those proceedings. That law says that a defendant can’t be tried twice for the same thing.

Mangione’s defense team cited that law in a motion filed Friday, shortly after his federal guilty plea, urging state court Judge Gregory Carro to dismiss state charges against him, including a count of 2nd degree murder. If successful, that legal maneuver could spare Mangione a longer prison term.

I can’t imagine the state dropping charges because he pled to stalking, while also admitting the murder.

Yeah, no jury at all. State charges are still pending, so we’ll see if those continue. Seems unlikely to have a state trial if he’s already plead guilty to federal charges.

I dunno though, I’m not a lawyer.

Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old accused of killing a health care executive on a Manhattan street, pleaded guilty to stalking charges in federal court Friday.

Mangione faced those charges in connection with the December 2024 shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“I knew what I was doing,” Mangione said in court Friday. “I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan and he died.”

Thompson’s family was in the courtroom sitting in the front row watching as Mangione entered his plea. Mangione voiced no remorse and repeatedly referenced his concerns with the U.S. health care system.

Wow, I was expecting this to go to trial and be more drawn out.

I hate how accurate that is

Damn, that’s kinda fucked up. We all know there are (mostly) subconscious biases against people we find unattractive. But that’s harsh that it shows up as such a big gap.

Thank you!

Can you provide any more info on the Waking Up app? My teenager has major anxiety issues and would love to have some more tools to help. It looks like a $20/month subscription, but isn’t clear what that entails. Is it like podcasts or what?

Also, this article is over a year and a half old, so hurry up with the collapse already…

Yeah this was all great information for the years leading up to about 2022. I refinanced several times in the decade leading up to that. But now, interest rates are steadily rising. Gonna be hard for anyone to take advantage of refinancing for a lower rate.

I think the best system would be not to allow tariffs to be illegally implemented in the first place. But I realize that’s asking a lot.

ROFL even

That’s how my brother plays golf!

“I’d have par on this hole if I didn’t completely fuck up my first three shots.”

Unfortunately (or fortunately, probably) contract law doesn’t really work that way. If you sneakily change a contract or even verbally misrepresent what’s in that contract, it can be challenged in court.

It can be difficult to prove though. For example, if a car sales person verbally says your car payment will be $100 but the contract you sign says $1,000 then you can argue in court that they misrepresented what you signed and the $100 should stand. But it’s hard to prove what was said was different than what was signed.

Same concept if your landlord signed something, sent it to you to sign and you modified it to something else without communicating a change. If they can show the original document they sent you, you’re boned.

Yeah, but mrs_bereavement loves it.

And even then, it was looking at the time period between 1981 and 2002, before Citizens United kicked things into overdrive.

Yeah, I was saying the cheating being AI usage is what couldn’t be proven. They mentioned a few other possibilities like the tests being leaked or people working off camera with them.

But yeah, the cheating is obvious. And the likelihood of it being done by AI is damn near certain.
