We have to get Half Life: Eli and Half Life: Dog first.

Who goes from 2 to 2.1? It's always 2 ½, 2 ¾, 2 ⅞, and so on.

Freedom fractions

I didn't want to type fractions. Thanks for looking them up.

While I agree with your Zeno’s Paradox method, the previous commenter’s counting method better reflect the absurd kid-gloves approach that the “justice” system has been treating that scumbag with.

True, but most parents aren't anticipating an attempt to overthrow the government or legitimate death threats against them and their family if they make the "wrong" move.

I've been watching a lot of SovCit videos (I'm not sure why). I'm actually surprised at how much the court puts up with.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's always important to remember that "putting up with stuff" for judges is mostly them making their case appeal prove. Because the judge accepts the bond, now they can't really bring it up on appeal. That's the whole reason.

The judge is only more lenient because he wants to pin Trump down and leave him without good arguments on appeal, which is what we want - nothing would be worse than to see everything get overturned.

"appeal-proof", I think you meant to say.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's the abbreviation for ppl who know how this works.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

abbreviation? what? Nothing is being abbreviated anywhere.

you wrote "appeal prove". That doesn't make any sense. "Prove" is the wrong word. The correct word is "proof".

Specifically, prove is a verb. A doing word. You prove things. Like walk, or run. But things cannot have or be "prove". I walk down the road. I prove my case.

Proof is either a noun or an adjective, depending on which word of it you use. In this instance, proof means resistant. Like waterproof speakers.

edit: and to add, I hyphenated appeal-proof because appealproof isn't a word. Perhaps you confused hyphenation with abbreviation somehow?

My bad I'm typing on a smartphone and I'm not a native English speaker

You're not kidding, they get so many chances even when security needs to be called. Part of me is cynical though. It's always white guys in white courts, at least from what I've seen. I wonder how a black guy in a white court in one of those redneck states would be treated.
