Did you miss the entire part of the article talking about how this effectively locks up the court system, deprives US citizens of their constitutional right to representation, and does effectively nothing to actually get people off drugs?
Tell me more about how you like punishing the poor for being poor, though.
Green, the DA, said he felt deflection was a better path to treatment than the criminal system, which can be a slow process, and that the fact that only some people were succeeding was a good sign: “We didn’t [make it] too easy or too hard. We really found that sweet spot.”
Oh fuck you. 70 or so people deflecting out of 1200 arrests is not success you pompous prick, it’s failure.
By finding him guilty but not punishing him, he will be made to feel guilty and the chance of him reoffending will be prevented, without socially impairing the man
What a load of horse shit. “Letting him get away with rape penalty free will ensure he doesn’t do it again” is some crazy fucking logic. Seems like knowing there are no consequences for your actions would make repeating the offense significantly more likely.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but that would be cool.
Why are you attacking me?
Future generations are going to look back on us and giggle at how fucking stupid all this is.
They’re really going to have to go to school and learn about how the fascist bigots took over the US and cried about everything being “woke”.
This is the legacy we are leaving behind. It is so stupid I just want to hang my head and weep.
I’m having analysis paralysis over which celebrity I most want to tell to fuck off.
I got my Supernote manta today. After using it for a few hours the difference between remarkable and Supernote is more in focus for me: Supernote is a better physical experience, but the remarkable software is just leagues better.
E.g., Supernote gives you the bevels you can drag, the pen feels more natural, and the screen better replicates the look of paper, while the remarkable has a better general interface, and the handwriting recognition is insanely good.
Sometimes the Supernote will refuse to find handwritten text like it doesn’t exist, and using the handwriting keyboard is frustrating and clumsy, where the remarkable has never failed to correctly interpret my writing the first time.
Scrolling by at a glance I thought it said something else and I was ready to be very offended.
I don’t think I’d agree that the remarkable is less “for those who write” than the Supernote.
I switched from my Nomad to the Paper Pro simply because the Nomad was too small for the notes that I write and Supernote wasn’t selling something comparable.
I think they have different priorities maybe and supernotes business model is way better, but they’re both good for writing.
Overall it is a fantastic device, good enough that I use it despite hating their stupid subscription model. I take work notes in it all day long and it has proven to be excellent for that.
I also use it to read for a book club I run, and the PDF markup tools are pretty nice. Color highlights are cool and they will stick to the text of the pdf to be perfectly straight which makes me happy.
I have a Supernote Manta coming this week though which may replace it. The Supernote pen is just way better.
I can’t help but notice that you really like to cherry pick only the parts of comments you think you have a simple answer to.
How about responding to the meat of the argument rather than trying to just move the goalpost?
