That's the logic that's being used in the defense but it's not necessarily true. If I were to engage a legitimate threat with a firearm but do so in a reckless manner, I would be justified in the shooting but not justified in the reckless Manor in which I discharge the weapon. That's why carrying a firearm is such a responsibility and liability. In addition to having to determine what is and what is not a deadly threat you also have to know your surroundings and what is past your target. Generally, a bit more leeway is given once the shooting is justified, but in acquittal on criminal charges doesn't justify the shooting. You acquittal on the other two charges just means there's insufficient evidence to prove the crime. Having insufficient evidence to prove one crime does not mean that another cannot be proven. For those of you not in America who are trying to follow along, just don't. It's not worth the the headache.

It's almost like buying something as soon as it comes out brings the risk that it won't be in full working order and will still have significant flaws. I'm not sure that that's exactly news. But the fact that people who are so in love with the iPhone that they are willing to get rid of a perfectly good working iPhone and unnecessarily upgrade for vanity are willing to back out is moderately interesting/telling. I feel like the pre-order group in any market is always surprised when the thing they pre-ordered is not 100% as good as they were promised. But then they will continue to pre-order...

When you make your subordinates so scared to voice an opinion that is not an agreement with yours that they become yes men or fall out of a window, you essentially are running the thing by yourself the whole time.

If one wanted to view this material to form their own opinion, where would one go to do this? Obviously this would be only for the purpose of confirming that these allegations are accurate and also deciding whether or not this constitutes any sort of suspendable offense.

Republicans released the overt logic denying kraken and now they think they can somehow get it to go away with ads appealing to logic? Republicans that don't want Trump already don't want him. Republicans that want Trump will want him regardless of what he does or what they are shown. It weren't so scary I would be getting a bit enjoyment out of watching the GOP realize what they've done to the legitimacy of their party.

Samsung and major carriers are shooting android in the foot with the bloatware. There are less and less viable android models that aren't half filled with carrier or manufacturer specific apps that can't be deleted. The pixel might be a tool of the Google devil but at least it provides the illustration of customization. iPhones are still Iphones. People they phone is pretty much the same butvthe hardware gets slightly better. Combine all that with messaging on Iphones essentially excluding android and ut becomes though to stick with anything but a Pixel or iphone. If I didn't have lots of Google stuff setup for work I might reconsider iphones, but the pixel really has made my life easier via Google big brother. If work used apple big brother I would switch.

Trump's social media posts are sounding more and more like Chris Chan

I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it's printed right on the can.

One thing a modern world needs to come to grips with is that a person can both be extremely talented and have negative qualities. Humans by their very nature have both good and bad traits, thoughts, and opinions. We can't bury the fact that someone who contributed work that we enjoy had some awful views. But on the other hand, that doesn't mean when you need to completely wipe his work from the face of the Earth. We have to find a way to show that someone is capable of creating great work and still not be a perfect or necessarily even good person.

You can put another check in your daily tally of being annoying and out of tune with the tone of a conversation in the name of your cause. Veganism is officially something I agree with but will avoid because I'm lazy and also because of how every thread on social media has to contain a tone-deaf post with veganism as the answer to the question. Becoming a stereotype is one way to get you all caps message out. Please combine it with annoying people into changing. Veganism is essentially synonymous with loudly interjecting yourself into every remotely related subject. At this point I am not sure if there are real vegans online or just trolls trying to make them look annoying. Yall are right, but your delivery needs work.

There isn't really that much but customizing your experience is not the same as reddit so you see it all until you block instances.
