They get arrested, and for community service, they have to do the quest or get hanged…hung.

The 86-year-old pontiff arrives in Lisbon on Wednesday and is expected to meet in private with victims of clergy abuse during his five-day visit to attend World Youth Day.

I both hate and love that ~50s American cars are so prevalent in Cuba from my understanding. Hate because it is/was out of necessity, love the enginuity required and that those beautiful cars are still taking people out for smiles.
There’s no evidence that it happened due to racism… As long as you ignore every single fact about what happened there and the mountains of evidence showing that it was based on racism.
Oh yeah because propagating child porn is alarmist and we should totally wait for it to garner more support for shutting it down.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Let the business owner know that all of those kids are ruining the vibe that you patronize their business for. Solving this problem could be as easy as the barber shop offering something like a kids day where they don't serve whiskey and instead serve lemonade or something, allowing that day to be the main kids day.

I think you don't see those adult only places much any more because to most they have outlived their usefulness. There are 2 factors behind this. First, there are far fewer children around nowadays than before. When everyone had multiple children, adult only spaces were necessary if anyone wanted to get anything done. The second, and honestly a great thing from a childfree point of view, is that between birth control and abortion, most people who do have kids genuinely want them. I suspect that most of the demand for those adult only spaces in the past was from people who were seeking peace from their own kids. Of course all parents need breaks from their kids, but ever noticed that the people who complain the most about their children are the ones who had them out of obligation rather than desire?

I think that it's always important to note here, this isn't just a Trump judge, this is a Federalist Society judge. Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, hand-picked every judge that Trump appointed.

Some history on the cancer that is the Federalist Society. They were created in the 1980s after Robert Bork went mask off in his confirmation hearings and was rightly denied a supreme court seat for his blatantly fascist beliefs about the law.

Side note, Bork was the guy who complied with Nixon's order to fire the Watergate Special Council.

So Bork gets voted down in the Senate and doesn't get to be on the top court, Reagan then has to pick someone who can get through a confirmation hearing without admitting to being a full fascist.

The conservatives of the time hated this. So they created a conservative legal movement designed to shit on the law while shifting everything firmly to the right.

Almost every single Republican lawyer in any public office, be it a lawmaker or judge, is a member of the Federalist Society now. They have large chapters at every major law school, and have a coordinated effort to produce legal papers and theory crafting to justify their right-wing jackassery.

They also file lawsuits in friendly jurisdictions under assumed causes to push for cases to get to the Supreme Court (which has 6 members) to change laws, all so that they can legislate from the bench.

The three recent Supreme Court cases that turned out to all have been based on lies? That was Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.

In an ideal world that would be great practice. But when Meta is sitting on 95% of the activity pubs usage, it’s just not going to be feasible to tell them “your problem”. Because that’s what users are going to be pushing for. Perhaps not you and me, and perhaps not many of those that have used services if the protocol for a while.

But the millions and millions who will be coming? They don’t care about Meta taking over. They’ll be mad when Mastodon stops syncing, or pixelfed. Who at that point have grown so much that there’ll be a huge public outcry if they don’t bend over backwards.
