Losing Miranda Rights protections wasn’t on my 2022 bingo card yet here we are….

cattorneyatlaw

The Supreme Court limited the ability to enforce Miranda rights in a ruling Thursday that said that suspects who are not warned about their

Because what America really needs right now is less ability to hold cops personally accountable for their actions

So this means that you do still have the right to remain silent.

You just now cannot sue if you are not told your rights.

Unfortunately, this will mostly harm those unaware of their rights. So will deeply, and mostly, effect uneducated people and those unfamiliar with U.S. laws (such as new immigrants).

They (cops) are not only further protected, but now are allowed to not tell you when you have that right. Which honestly can just be confusing for anyone.

It’s fucked up and definitely targets marginalized individuals, in addition to protecting cops. Double lose.

The Supreme Court does not care about us.

Now more than ever: DO NOT TALK TO COPS.

If you are taken into custody for Anything, you invoke your right to a lawyer (“I am invoking my right to a lawyer. Here is my lawyer’s number/Please assign me a public defender.”)

Then you shut the fuck up. “I am invoking my right to remain silent.” Do not make small talk. Do not answer ANY questions. If at any point you do (like to ask for the bathroom, a drink, etc) immediately repeat that you are invoking your right to silence. They will try to get you to talk. They’re allowed to try to get you to break your silence, and they will do so. They’ll make you wait for the lawyer.

Every cop show ever has taught you that getting a lawyer looks guilty, and I’m telling you that’s propaganda. Get the fucking lawyer. Even if they just want a statement out of you, even if you called them. Get the lawyer. Shut up.

Y’all know when Mulan is sitting in the rain and watches her parents silhouette disappear as the candle is blown out and then her eyes squint in determination and the music that starts to play and you see her go into the family temple and light a match and bow in respect and then sneak into her parents room and switch the scroll for her hair brooch and then the way her reflection is shown as she pulls the sword and cuts her hair?? It’s literally more iconic than any marvel movie

wyntersknight

Y’all know that there is heavy symbolism in that scene to show that Mulan is the spirit of the Great Stone Dragon and that’s why Mushu wasn’t able to awaken it?

im sorry What!! i never knew this! my life feels fuller!!! ahhhh

wyntersknight

Mulan sits in the rain underneath the statue of the Great Stone Dragon (who is looking down on her), and suddenly decides on a course of action. She looks up, resolved to go to war in place of her father and runs into the temple where she lights the match and beseeches protection for her family. The stone she bows to and that we see lit up by lightening strike is that of the dragon, whose eyes are looking out after her, lit from underneath by the candles. The scene transitions to the divider in the house that also has an icon of the dragon. where she replaces her hair comb with the summons. Then we see the sword hilt, also the dragon, and as she draws the blade we see her face replace it. She ties up her hair, then as she opens the wardrobe, the handles are also the dragon. After donning the armor, the view shows her facing us, with the hilt of the sword (the face of the dragon) in front of her face, where she then turns the sword to reveal her face, and sheaths it. As she leaves, we flash back to the temple, and the eyes of the dragon flash as her grandmother wakes up.

The Great Stone Dragon resides within her. She is the protector of the family.

After this explanation, the scene where Mushu cannot wake up the stone dragon makes so much more sense. I appreciate the symbolism so much more. I noticed the dragon but didn’t notice she was constantly juxtaposed with the dragon!

Canon accepted.

It’s like ALL Europeans! People show up to my job at like 11AM saying “I need to get to the city for my flight by 3, what can I see between now and then?” and I get to tell them “Well if you leave RIGHT NOW you MIGHT be able to make your flight at 3″ and watch them flap around like a dying fish.

I had a dude say he was hoping to take a day trip to Mt Rushmore after doing the main famous thing at my park, and he got PISSED when I told him that it was a 17 hour round trip. “That’s unacceptable!” he said, like we had just moved it further a week earlier.

A family once stopped in and said they were trying to get to a random small town in Missouri and were flabbergasted when I said that I had never heard of it, and that I had no way of looking up where it was, and basically just giving them directions to get to the city due east of where we were so they could go to the library and print out directions (they also never like that we don’t have wide ranging cell service. We got working internet last summer. This isn’t news.)

Size culture shock is such a huge thing. I'm from Northern Ireland so for the longest time the relatively small distance I could travel felt like "the most" (even now a trip to Bangor or Derry feels massive even though it's like, and hour/hour thirty tops).

Even when I did go somewhere else as a kid, since the structure of a trip would be dictated by my parents or like, teachers n stuff, nothing really felt "big".

But for uni I lived in England (I know) and even that felt so much more massive than anything I was used to. I was in a shopping center that I feel could comfortably house most of Belfast city centre.

So I can't even beging to imagine how overwhelmed I'll be if I ever go to like, mainland Europe again, or the states 😵

I’m from Phoenix, AZ. When I was a kid we used to drive to Los Angeles to see my grandparents 1-2 times each year, so in my brain LA is fairly close. Unbearably dull drive on account of the scenery, but close. It’s about 6 hours.

A few years ago I did a little road trip around Norway and averaged about 2-3 hours of driving most days. When I would mention this to Norwegians, multiple times they looked completely aghast and asked me if I was okay. Wasn’t I tired, how can I stand that much car time?

I didn’t know how to explain to them that I would travel 3 hours just for food I’m craving.

Ah, memories of driving a 4hr round trip every weekend to see my now-wife. It was a mountain pass, too, so I'd have to check the weather constantly during the winter to make sure it wasn't closed because of avalanche or blizzard conditions. And I'd make sure I had music, podcasts, and maps preloaded and saved to my phone because cell service was spotty for a good portion of the drive.

Sometimes during our visit we'd want to visit the nearby city, which was a 2hr round trip (or more) through a winding canyon road with no exits in between.

My aunt visited us in the US from India. We live on the East Coast. She once asked nonchalantly, when can we go see the Hollywood sign?

John Adams: “I study war and diplomacy, so that my son may study trade and commerce, so that his son may study art and music.”

cumaeansibyl

I wasn’t sure about that quote, so I looked it up, and it’s a fairly accurate paraphrase of what Adams actually said:

I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.

I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

I like that people have two reactions to this post.

Reasonable: “just say she couldn’t make it!”

Well, which one is it going to be?

Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”

Update: a date has been acquired. This is true lesbian solidarity in action.

What if air nomads are pacifists bc they used to do shit like suffocating people and then saw the destruction they caused so turned away from it 🤔🤔

secret lore 👀? what if the reason why air nomads distance themselves from the rest of the world is because they don’t want to be tempted back into that cycle of violence
