I have really long hair because I don't like people touching me and I can pretend it's a quirky style.

I went to what I thought was a barber but turned out to be a stylist, asked for a short haircut and that was around 40-50$ CAD. Usually its 20$ at a barber; I was confused and wasn't expecting it to be that much, I hadn't asked and didn't see a price just assumed it'd be about the same as elsewhere. I don't really know what I got out of it for the 2x amount; but maybe someone else with a more complicated request might have gotten more out of it. Does anyone know what do you get out of more expensive haircuts? As far as "numbers" go, I usually just ask for something between a "1" or "2" all around; I don't know anything about haircuts. I do find them relaxing and would go more often if my hair grew faster.

Groovelord Neato posted:so minneapolis is forced to eat half a million because AEG backed down? The city could still take the campaign to court, but is unlikely to win because charging for the extra security apparently isn't something that normally happens, so it looks like it's singling out the Trump campaign, which is almost certainly is. I wish it had worked - the crying would have been hilarious. Worth noting that AEG only operates Target Center which is city property. I'm guessing the mayor pulled this billing stunt because the city doesn't have any say over who gets to use the venue. Hopefully they change that when the contract is up for renewal.

SchrodingersCat posted:People who are like that as fully functioning adults usually already have something wrong with their brain that results in reduced cognitive function and neuroplasticity, so when the dementia sets in it's absolutely devastating. Yeah, it was pretty crazy to watch. He got away with it for the most part most of his adult life because he made an exceptional income and had in-demand niche skills, so people just put up with him in the workplace despite his wife and all of us kids bailing the second we turned 18. Then about 15 years ago he started having trouble keeping a job for more than ~6 months, and then stretches of being unemployed. It took a minute for us all to figure out what was up, since none of us lived with him or had really even kept in contact much in years just because he was so condescending and would go on CHUD tangents even if you just called him up to say, “Was thinking about you, love ya dad and I hope you’re doing good!” Fast forward to me getting a call out of the blue from him in jail because he was arrested driving down the wrong side of the road against traffic in Lake Tahoe. I drive out there and he’s obviously dementia addled. Tried to move him down to the city with my wife and I so we could take care of him (and lol naively thinking maybe the silver lining could be him finally accepting a little humility and salvaging some sort of semi functional father-son relationship). Nope. Got a rugged individualism type speech from him, and since I legally couldn’t force him to stay with us off he went. Last I heard of him was 3 years ago when a doctor’s office tracked down my business # by my last name to tell me he’d ran out of the building IV poo poo dangling behind him and all calling all the nurses cunts etc etc. Told them they had the wrong number and good luck with all that. In short, we need to make sure Medicare for all includes inpatient treatment and that we put laws in place that allow family to take over the decision making process for our relatives once they are a danger to others. I don’t know about nationwide, but here in California I was literally told I couldn’t force him into treatment, and that the only way to force him to do anything was for him to break laws and the legal system to deal with him.

Being pardoned for something does effectively render 5th Amendment protection moot, though. You can't incriminate yourself if you've been pardoned for the thing you're being compelled to testify about. (I just realized I'm arguing law with EW, can't wait to become informed on how utterly wrong I am)

If you are pardoned, you can no longer incriminate yourself, and therefore you can be compelled to testify on matters that you otherwise would have had the right to remain silent about. Of course, you could also get a pardon for refusing to testify though.

Yeah, I think it's something along these lines of a weird convergence of contracts. They city has an obligation to protect the safety of people exercising first amendment rights. Especially when on public property which the Target Center is since it's owned by the city. But since the booking and operation of the facility is contracted out to AEG the city got stuck when AEG contracted with the campaign to allow the rally. Unfortunately I don't think there was a legal case to stop Trump from coming once that contract was signed, and the city can't easily get out of providing safety and security for everyone that is going to the event and the likely more protesters that will be in downtown tonight. The best hope is that the next contract for the venue spells everything out more clearly.

Paradoxish posted:It cannot be said enough that conservatives believe that anyone who advocates for anything approaching socialist policy is actually advocating for everyone to be poverty stricken all the time. It's not just a cynical messaging strategy (although it is that too), it's something so core to their beliefs that it just comes out all over the place. Like, if you make an enemy of a billionaire, he can pay somebody to follow you around and offer to pay double the rent on any apartment you seek, and it does not impact his life. It's not about taking trips to Europe or buying nice haircuts or my current favorite: HAVING THE LATEST iPhone!!!!

You can do all that yes, or just accept the pardon and continue to insist on your innocence. There’s no collateral effects just from accepting the pardon except that you can no longer fight the charges and get an official “not guilty” verdict.

I'd argue that the "if you accept the pardon then you're admitting guilt" is such common knowledge in the right circles that it's effectively true, even if there aren't really any legal frameworks that recognize it as such.
