I feel like I read somewhere that it’s kind of a way to see if you’ll incriminate yourself
That’s exactly what it is. If they’re asking you that question they want you to admit to whatever it was (speeding, etc) so they don’t need evidence and you can’t fight the ticket.
Play dumb, but be polite.
“I’m not sure, could you please tell me what you saw?” Or something like that.
Remember, just like in an accident, don’t admit fault. You can decide later if you want to fight the ticket, but if you admit fault then and there, you lose that option.
I respect and love cops but always answer this way cuz you never know if you’re dealing with a corrupt cop
The Heartbeat Bill recently passed by the Ohio House (currently on its way to the Senate) has had a LOT of not just bad press, but actively deceitful press. Here is the link to the full text of the bill. I’m going to bust a few myths here:
Myth #1: An abortionist who violates this ban would face the death penalty.
From the actual bill:
Sec. 2919.195.
Whoever violates this division is guilty of performing or
inducing an abortion after the detection of a fetal heartbeat, a
felony of the fifth degree.
A 5th degree felony in Ohio carries a prison sentence of typically 6-12 months. No death penalty.
Myth #2: A pregnant person who violates this ban would face the death penalty.
Sec.
2919.198
A pregnant woman on whom an
abortion is performed or induced in violation of section 2919.193, 2919.194, or 2919.195 of the
Revised Code is not guilty of violating any of those sections;
is not guilty of attempting to commit, conspiring to commit, or
complicity in committing a violation of any of those sections;
and is not subject to a civil penalty based on the abortion
being performed or induced in violation of any of those
sections.
IN FACT, the woman who has an illegal abortion can sue the abortionist for the wrongful death of her child (Sec.
2919.199.)
Myth #3: There are no exceptions for the health or life of the mother.
Sec. 2919.195
Division (A) of this section does not apply to a
physician who performs a medical procedure that, in the
physician’s reasonable medical judgment, is designed or intended
to prevent the death of the pregnant woman or to prevent a
serious risk of the substantial and irreversible impairment of a
major bodily function of the pregnant woman.
Feel free to let me know if you hear any other myths about this bill.
That’s actually somewhat deleting. So what DOES the bill actually do? I have a hard time with legalese..
It bans abortions once the fetal heartbeat can be detected. Basically they have to check for a heartbeat, and if they find one they can’t do it. The medical exception is in there, which worries me because I know there are abortionists who will exploit that. But hopefully it drastically reduces abortion in Ohio.
More importantly, this bill considers preborn humans to be individual persons, worthy of protection under the law. My hope is that it makes it to the Supreme Court and is upheld, which would set powerful precedent for further abortion restrictions across the country or, hopefully, at the federal level.
Here it is, folks! The LONG GONE GULCH Official Trailer!
This ain’t your typical Western…
Long Gone Gulch is a comedic fantasy about two young sheriffs who must serve and protect a secluded mythical world, home to many legendary creatures of folklore. Follow weirdo cowgirl, Rawhide (the only human born in the Gulch) and sarcastic greaser, Snag (the only human outsider) as they become the law of the land. Their unlikely friendship causes them to learn from each other as they deal with a variety of problems within a town of folks who aren’t exactly on their side. Among them are Mayor Rhubarb, the strict yet neurotic jackalope, BW, the mysterious bounty hunter who is not what she seems and Mako, the dastardly shark mutant and his gang of bandits.
Full pilot will be out in 2019.
Please give this a watch. Everyone worked so hard and I couldn’t be more proud of our team.
you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?
Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.
This is because there are two parts to memories – their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.
This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.
reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.
I had a very interesting match yesterday. I feel like what I saw doesn’t just reflect on TF2, but somewhat on gaming as whole.
I’ll keep it short to get to my point without too much preamble – basically someone took it upon himself to be as unpleasant as possible to me, calling me every slur he could think of and consistently claiming that he sincerely hated my guts. I’m fairly used to this, so luckily I wasn’t too bothered.
He used the mic for an entire round, and was then autobalanced so he started typing it out instead. (He was almost bottom scoring because he spent so much of his time typing.) He had a couple of friends that joined in with him, and although two people told him to calm down a bit, no-one really said anything.
I said nothing to him throughout all of this, apart from a couple of jokes – when he was autobalanced I said ‘I’ll miss you’, but nothing too sarcastic. I still gave call outs and thanked my medics.
After about 15 minutes, he left the server, calling me a few more names just for good measure.
Instantly, about five people on my team started telling me that I was ‘such a nice player’, ‘I wish there were people like you in Dota’, ‘You’re the best’, someone went medic just to heal me, and someone just straight up said they loved me. The change was.. Astounding.
For the next two matches there was a massive atmosphere of positivity. “I genuinely love this team”, “I wish I could friend all of you!” We all started properly working as a team, and I think we did much better because of it. Just from one person being positive, as soon as these players feel like they don’t have to be unpleasant, they stop.
TL;DR especially in a game like TF2, people are scared to say what they really think. At heart most of us are good people, and that’s equally true in-game. I love this community, it’s brought me so much joy, and I’d happily sit through any amount of bs for it.
Apologies for how cheesy this is but I’m still slightly feels-y, it was just so sweet
TIL that a cat once co-authored a physics paper. In 1975, a physicist had just finished writing a paper and was ready to publish but realized that he had used ‘we’ instead of ‘I’ throughout, despite being the sole author. Not wanting to edit the paper, he listed his cat, Chester, as a co-author.
Ok but the best part is, physicists loved the joke. When people called the author’s university and he wasn’t available, they’d ask to speak with the co-author instead. The author issued a limited number of copies of the article signed by both authors. (Chester’s was obviously a pawprint.) And to this day, physics papers will often have F.D.C Willard (Felix Domesticus, Chester Williard [Willard was the author’s father’s name]) mentioned in the footnotes thanking his “useful contributions to the discussion”.
