My mother was on probation for 21 years. This is because every time her probation was almost finished she'd get another DUI and they'd restart it. But she eventually was able to behave herself long enough for it to run out. Anecdotally, I know a guy who torched a Humvee lot way back in 2005. He threw some molotov cocktails and caused a lot of financial damage but nobody was hurt. When he was arrested, the difference between having a life-sentence with a terrorism charge vs. a five-year arson sentence was based entirely on the prosecution's inability to prove the molotovs were thrown or not. Since they could not prove that, the molotovs were not considered "bombs" but instead "incendiary devices," and he was able to serve his time and is today back out and teaching string theory at a university in Florida. But during his sentencing, he had to listen to the jury read aloud every single count. "On the first count of terrorism, we find the defendant... not guilty. On the second count of terrorism, we find the defendant..." There were like thirty counts. If for whatever reason the jury did find him guilty on any count of it it would have been a life sentence. It doesn't really make sense why you might have 29 counts one thing but one the other, since the evidence applied broadly to all counts, but juries fuckin can do that poo poo. It just takes one juror with an agenda to turn a five year sentence to a life sentence. (A life sentence in federal prison is frequently called an LWOP; life without the possibility of parole. It's not the 25 year default that applies elsewhere.)

Some convictions need to be unanimous, so if one person refused to budge on Not Guilty for a terrorism charge they wouldn't be able to convict on that because of a single juror.

I served on a jury once where this bitter old lady wanted to punish this guy we all knew was innocent. We had to spend extra time "deliberating" for no other reason than to convince this person that the innocent guy does not deserve punishment based on her personal opinion of him. In 12 Angry Men it took just one juror to change everything. I mean, in that case it's for the better, but it could go the other way.

He's trying to pretend that it's San Francisco's "unhinged leftists" that were among the nearly 10% of the audience that were booing him in between the quiet periods. I imagine that a dave chappelle audience doesn't skew that far left nowadays, hinge status notwithstanding. ed: going to make money hand over fist by starting the You Can't Tell Me What to Do party filled with rich weirdos that can only dig down

Yeah it also feeds into the "Wow the left loved Elon until they turned on him!" Because he only got positive press even while literally having human trafficking victims working in his plants. The media was 'fact-checking' the photos with Ghizlaine Maxwell, tutting that they weren't proof he knew her or had any connection to Epstein -while leaving out Elon had met with Epstein and his brother was literally dating a model that aged out of the lolita express. Up until he openly said he was right wing, then suddenly nad stories popped up.

As someone generally not all that plugged in to what's going on, my impression was like... 2010: Elon Musk is the billionaire who's going to use his money to actually do things, like with science and poo poo 2015: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo who's going to use his money to actually do things, like with science and poo poo 2020: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo 2022: Elon Musk is a piece of poo poo and an idiot

I first learned of Elon Musk in 2018, when he flipped his poo poo and called the people rescuing the Thai kids' soccer team pedophiles because they didn't want his stupid submarine. It's honestly a miracle I was able to somehow avoid him until then.

Lmao zuck and the other tech lords are trying to circle the wagon, I'm talking about the booing on FB and a few people who haven't followed how lovely Dave's comedy has gotten are asking if it was a bit or Dave was being sarcastic when he told the poor people in the back to shut up and appreciate the richest man in the world. I posted a link to the video and it's flagged as 'pending review'

A thought experiment: If Elon's dad had maybe given him a hug or two or said "I'm proud of you son" maybe once or twice during his childhood do you think he would still be this way?

I heard about the dude for like a decade from nerds on the Facepunch forums obsessed with his talk of electric cars and spaceships. Then people disliked him (but still constantly talked about him) because he posted cringe rear end memes, then because all billionaires etc, and finally because he's a literal supervillain. I guess it's better than having to hear on the nightly news about every single epic fail tweet Trump made but man, it's exhausting.
