Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't be prosecuted over 2016 video, LA DA says.
  • According to the McCready Law Group, the statute of limitations in California is one year for simple assault. For felony assault, it is three years.

    Oh, wow. That's not nearly long enough for someone who is in an abusive relationship. It can take years to extract oneself from such a situation. I mean, if it was a random bar fight between strangers or even friends, sure. But abusive relationships can go on for fucking years because of the psychological and emotional abuse that accompanies the physical abuse, neither of which apply to a random scuffle.

    Amend this law.

  • In Canada, bodies go unclaimed as costs put funerals out of reach
  • When my father died, the Uber driver taking me from my hotel to my family was a woman in the same boat. She told me she was breaking her neck to earn enough in the next couple of days to claim her father's remains from a funeral home. We chatted about our situations. I asked if she'd be offended if I gave her a donation to help. She was so fucking grateful. We could afford the expenses, so it was a real reminder of how barbaric the system is when you're living on the edge monetarily. She didn't even have time to grieve because she had to hustle / grind.

  • Stock Buybacks
  • The amount of harm caused by Reagan and specifically engineered to be possible after his time in office is immense. The man was a rat to his fellow actors, informing on suspected socialists and commies. He only got worse from there.

  • I don't know which one of you needed this information, but you're welcome.
  • Context: In addition to all the other lies he's told about his mythology (CIA asset, martial arts trained, whatever), he's also 120% Jamaican. If you add that up with all his other bogus claims about racial heritage, the man is over 1000% human. So of course he's able to do almost anything and super cool. Plus he shot a dog on that show where he played law enforcement, which is about the coolest thing anyone's done.

    He's basically a god.

  • Winner's Luck
  • Oh, wow. That's pretty fucked, but also pretty funny. I was gonna fuck off for a little bit before I start doing chores but this caught me off guard and now I don't want to ruin it with less funny filler. Guess it's time to do laundry.

    USA Lemmies: Where do you live?

    I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:

    I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?

    First new immersive content on AppleTV since launch of Vision Pro

    I got a notification on my iPhone. I haven’t watched it yet because I’m charging my Vision Pro after not using it for a few weeks. The content is part of the Prehistoric Planet series. It’s noteworthy because Apple-related tech podcasts have been talking about the lack of additional content for the platform for a while.

    Would the orange shithead be running for PotUS if he wasn't facing legal troubles?

    Trump sorta faded from the limelight in 2021. He's everywhere now. How much of that is because of his multiple prosecutions?

    Don't get me wrong, I think he should be imprisoned for treason. But if there hadn't been these cases against him, how likely would it be that he just fucked off into the sunset and didn't run for a second term? He might have run otherwise, but now he's kinda forced to (as though he wasn't a narcissist who craved attention – I'm not debating that).

    Obviously, we can only speculate. But I'm curious what others think about this?
