In NY, premeditation alone doesn’t qualify you for first degree. 2nd degree is the highest they could charge him with. Both can have life sentences, main difference is that for 1st degree there’s a mandatory minimum of 20 years, and for 2nd degree the minimum is 15 years.

United HC has one of the highest rates of denials among commercial insurers. The government has already studied this and sued them for it IIRC. This brings to mind an article I read some years ago, where a CEO and 1% advocated for other 1%ers to reevaluate their business practices and take...

Thank you, I will pass that along. Animals of all kinds, but especially dogs, have always been a passion of hers. Now that she is semi-retired she has the time and really enjoys the work. In our area we have yet to see a goat come up for adoption, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we do...

I’ll come out in full support of this. My wife works with a local rescue and all of our dogs have been “adoptions”. This doesn’t affect reputable breeders; only shops that buy directly from puppy mills and sell for a profit. I remember taking the kids to the local mall back in the 90s, and...

called over to a college buddy who lives the town over from lewiston. he said that many of these casualties will be children, it was league night at the bowling alley and often times folks bring their kids along. SCUM

if this is truly the case, then I don’t understand why local authorities weren’t on this guy like white on rice. so far Maine has enjoyed for more reasonable laws than NY… thanks to this asshole that’s likely to change in a hurry. My son got a look at his twitter before it was taken down...

I don’t believe in trigger warnings on principle but if there ever was a case for them..

Appalled at this. Hoping there’s some real consequences for the officer but I’m sure there won’t be, although the body cam footage is pretty damning. https://www.cleveland19.com/2023/07/06/lorain-police-release-bodycam-familys-pet-dog-shot-killed-by-officer/?outputType=amp

I’m so glad it’s funny to you.

I went to UB back in the day, and one of my nieces is enrolled currently. I now live upstate. My son will be attending Brockport, which has a policy for incoming students that they dorm the first two years, unless they are local. It would be tough for him to find roommates anyways as he hasn’t...

UB built that to attract a larger portion of their (already) growing population of foreign students. Competitive gaming is HUGE in Asia. Personally I think UB should focus more on their students in Buffalo.

The closest four year college to us is almost 2 hours away through rugged mountainous terrain. If there was a way we could make it work without dorming, we would. But I don’t want him driving alone 4+ hours a day, on top of studying and working. Not to mention how treacherous those roads can be...

That certainly is something to be grateful for that you son doesn’t have to dorm. While we love living as rural as we do, it has its downsides sometimes. You’re not kidding about how hard colleges make it to accommodate a job while in school, at least for freshman year. Sophomore year it looks...

It’s not just the colleges themselves, in many cases it’s well meaning but misinformed parents. One of my sons friends didn’t want to go to college and his parents said it was college or he’d be kicked out and would “end up a ditch digger”. I’ve heard similar from other parents I know. The...

Joe Biden being responsible for the fact that student loans cannot be discharged is another point that I should have brought up in my post, I appreciate you bringing it up. Something that can and should be reversed if he wants to help the borrowers.

exactly this! couldn’t agree with you more.

You’re assuming a few things here. One, we live nowhere close to an urban area. My son cannot drive to any school with a CPA program, so he will have to dorm which significantly raises costs, to about 24,000 per year in fact. You’re assuming a 30 hour work week as well. Ha! Fat chance getting...

May I ask *when* you did this? Because I was the same when I went to school but things have changed, a lot. I’m seeing it with my own children. They work and work hard. Maybe not 80 hours a week hard, but I would not ask or expect them to. My son took additional summer courses in addition to...

Is receiving Medicare/Medicaid stealing money from taxpayers? How about PPP loans? How about all the money that will was “stolen” from taxpayers during the useless search for the OceanGate sub? You miss my original point completely. I didn’t say it should have gone through, I was only saying we...

While I don’t think the president should have authority to unilaterally forgive debt, I don’t think it’s fair to gloat and celebrate this as an “in your face, snowflake” moment. I’m sure there are people in this forum who have children, family and neighbors that would be negatively affected by...

I don’t mean to burst anyone’s bubble but some very worrisome information just came out about this case. It seems that there was in fact, no gay couple that requested a website designed for their wedding. Instead it was a straight man who doesn’t even live in CO, and had no idea his information...

He bragged about in a previous thread and edited it, quite obviously I might add. Then comes on here claiming it’s his “friend”. Sure, buddy…

In NY they already let you wear religious headgear in photos, typically for the more “established” religions, I guess you could put it. That being said I don’t understand what he thinks he’s fighting for here, they already let you wear that stuff if there is a legitimately held belief, no extra...

The original poster here is lying, there is no “friend”, it’s him. I remembered a post from several weeks ago about him going to NY and he had some ludicrous story about how after the office initially told him he couldn’t wear it in the photo and he had them call the judge and he okayed it (yeah...

It wasn’t stopped by a civilian, which was the original point I was replying to. It was an off duty cop who would have been armed anyways, before constitutional carry was passed. I agree with you though, the “good guy with a gun” rarely if ever gets there fast enough, therefore it isn’t a...

well that’s the problem though isn’t it? we can’t make the “good guy with a gun argument” because even with constitutional carry states we aren’t seeing people step up to take down shooters enough. sure, it may happen once or twice, and they are heroes for doing so, but it doesn’t happen...

The 2nd Amendment states that we have the right TO bear arms, not that we MUST bear arms. Additionally, there may have been armed persons in the vicinity that didn’t feel they would have been able to assist without injuring others. None of us were there, and it’s easy to say what we would do...

Hope Tucker doesn’t let the door hit him on the way out, good riddance to that loser! Good news about Don Lemon too.

Good Riddance! I stopped watching him years and years ago once I realized he thought we were all brainless idiots. I mean seriously? my third grader can fact check better than him and his production team. he was nothing but a shameless grifter trying to use the public’s fears to get rich. loser.

it’s an interesting perspective. so you think that if Kaylin survived that she wouldn’t also be invited to the white house? I disagree, I think dementia joe would be more that happy to have her visit as part of his anti-2a agenda.. I’m not going to go ahead and call you anything, I don’t know...

what is the point you’re trying to make here? wait, don’t bother to tell me. it’s already fairly obvious, you think that “black kids get more sympathy just for being black”, right? I especially liked your point about “Kaylin hasn’t even gone to his door”. Really dude? The kid in Missouri got a...

two shootings of young kids who had just gotten lost in two days, absolutely awful. at least in the young woman’s case the perp was taken into custody immediately, as opposed to what happened with that young man in Missouri. of course, thanks to these two trigger happy assholes there’ll be...

fwiw, I’m totally with you on how dangerous the furries are ( although thankfully, I don’t see any of that happening soon, those freaks are really TOO out there, even for most libs). I also agree with you that professional sports should remain separated by biological gender, except for perhaps...

I understand where you’re coming from, and I think we’d both agree that we both just want what is safest for all of us, and our families. I just don’t think this trans issue is the bogeyman the media is making it out to be. here’s the honest truth, if there’s a sick pervert (of any...

I’ll respectfully disagree with you as far as trans people being “more dangerous than the modern neo-nazis”, I was raised that a nazi is a nazi & I just don’t see how anybody who wants to be the opposite gender is harmful, but I’m a live and let live kind of guy i guess sure does look like bud...

Maybe I’m missing something here, but are we really comparing trans and gay people to nazis? That seems a tad dramatic. Bud Light can and is spending their marketing dollars how they want, that’s their choice, just like you have a choice in what beers you purchase. All this controversy does is...

Video was taken in October, I would assume for Halloween…
