The immunity regarding official acts pertains to judicial proceedings. An impeachment is a legislative proceeding. While it uses judicial terms like “trial” it is not the same thing and can not directly result in criminal conviction or sentencing.

An impeachment conviction results in removal from office. The previous impeachment proceedings did not result in a conviction.

(Edit for additional information: While an impeachment uses terms like “trial” and “conviction” it is not a judicial proceeding. It is entirely a legislative proceeding which is formatted to resemble a judicial one, but is not bound to judicial procedure and it also can not produce a criminal conviction or sentence.)

If somebody agrees to work for me at below minimum wage and seems enthusiastic about it, am I still exploiting them? What if I’m paying them $15/hr but no medical, 401k, or other benefits because it’s under the table? Is it not exploitation, even if the person is happy to get the wage?

It seems a very different situation between legal, documented immigrants being represented by a legitimate job placement company, vs undocumented immigrants who are being paid unknown wages and have much less ability to negotiate.

Some factories run 24/7, yet individual workers do not have 24/7 shifts.

What does that have to do with unrepresented immigrant laborers? Do you think they are really getting a union level wage?

Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.

There is a huge amount of loadout progression for each class, and a seemingly infinite amount of cosmetics to acquire. While there are only a limited number of mission types, the randomized nature of the level population and all of the various modifiers and enemy types that have been added keeps the game fresh. The game is entirely co-op with no PVP element, which keeps the tone more focused on helping other players instead of ever seeing them as competition.

I loves me Wickard v. Filburn which held that a farm not doing interstate commerce could be regulated by the Commerce Clause because the lack of commerce affected interstate commerce.

News media unfortunately tends to look up the absolute maximum a crime can be sentenced and reports as if that is the default sentencing. It is rare for crimes to be sentenced to the max. If we can get past the screaming about “but this is Trump’s America now!”, the sentencing is still unlikely to be at the max, or at least not without some kind of parole agreement with the max hanging over their head.

I’m still not sure how the article got to decades. I wish they had shown their work, because from my skim the two charges together have a maximum sentencing of 13 years combined.

If the Federal government takes over prosecution the big charge is going to be that Destructive Device charge which looks to be up to 10 years. It seems unlikely the sentence imposed would be even close to the max on everything, media loves to report maximums as if they are what gets handed down, but that’s just media being dramatic.

I’d really love media articles to actually explain sentencing in detail on articles where they just throw around numbers without explaining them.

Based on how verification was revoked for some users on Twitter based on their content rather than question of their identity, I’m cautious about this system turning into the status symbol it became on Twitter rather than the verification it claimed to be.

Unfortunately, the forecast isn’t good for the integrity of what should be a simple system. Under Dorsey, the Twitter blue checkmark had already become a tool for showing content approval by Twitter. In various instances users had their status removed based on their content and not on a question of if they were who they claimed to be.

Tripcodes are not automatically applied. Default posting was anonymous, but a user can optionally post with a tripcode name.

Some boards like /pol/ introduced post IDs where a randomly generated code would follow your anonymous name within a thread, so others could see which comments within a thread were the same person. That system wasn’t site wide though.

An internet meme isn’t a meme until it is shared around. It becomes something that exists without a single person who can take credit as turning it into a meme. Similarly the original creator, even if known isn’t the person who turned their creation into a meme.

The need to grasp for credit of an internet cultural phenomenon is foreign to me.

From the steam page:

“TotalSpend” is the total amount of external funds applied to your account.

“OldSpend” is the amount of external funds applied before Friday, April 17, 2015 18:00:00 UTC.

Stealing a meme

There’s a concept I’ll never wrap my head around.

You asked what package only means, and I found an answer.

Total is total, with old spend being the cutoff of old spending.

None of the numbers are guaranteed to add up to each other.

I don’t know what’s missing from the reply.
