I don't think there will be much overlap with the existing content.

Amazon Publishing has secured licenses from Warner Bros. Television Group's Alloy Entertainment for Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and The Vampire Diaries...

I seriously doubt that they could swing licenses for everything out there, or even the majority of it. And if they did, what, the people who already read it for free are going to willingly start paying for a new, inferior service? Because let's be honest, if it takes off there will almost certainly be DRM. Even if they start pulling blatantly illegal legalistic bullshit to try to shut down places like ff.net, has that stopped the distribution of pirated musics, games, or films (all of which are, personal ethics aside, actually illegal)?

North Carolina woman has her son arrested for stealing her Pop-Tarts.

Way to go for ruining your son's life by giving him a criminal record .

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That goes beyond disgusting, it's just plain weird.

[Max White]

I'm imagining an incredibly fat mother becoming irate over stolen pop-tarts...

This will either be hilariously terrible, or rather interesting.

Eh. I'm not always going to spot everything, I don't tend to play rogue.

[Frumple]

Heh. Everyone without detect monsters wants some ranks in spot. Sometimes even them, nondetection is a thing. Nothing like a cranquin sneak attack to ruin your day.

Collect calls from the jail are just .... They're what they are....

"Larry.... Larry.... Larry.... Larry. Larry they're recording this call.... Don't talk about the case Larry.... Didn't ya hear what I said, the god damn prosecution is listenin' to this call.... O, yup, they're gonna use that one against you, and Chris, because I know you listen to these, you're ugly.... Larry.... Larry! Larry you need to stop talkin' I'll visit you on Tuesday.... Larry...!

You're just gonna keep right on goin' aren't ya? Bye Larry, see ya Tuesday...." [click]

I will never understand people being worried about telling suspects they have the right to remain silent. They will never be smart enough to use it.

Uh, I dunno anything about Carolina, North South or otherwise, but don't you have a duty to support your juvenile childrenseses? I'm pretty sure I'm on several abuse neglect and dependency cases from people not feeding their childrenses. I dunno man. This just looks pretty dumb.

Its a misdemeanor. That means at 18 it is sealed in a folder somewhere and can only be looked at by order of a court. This applies for everything that is not a felony.

In this age, the court sealing it at age 18 is meaningless as the information will already have been downloaded into a dozen databases for use in future extortion attempts by corporations that publish criminal records and mugshots, but for a "reasonable fee they will delete their copy (but not the copies they have sold to a dozen shell corporations with the same MO).

So the annoying roommate has turned on the water heater again. He had two 20 minute baths yesterday which wasted a whole tub of hot water. I know that he's dirty and stinks because he doesn't buy toilet paper and can't wipe properly because of that, but fuck man, you're going to dissolve if you keep it up like this, worse yet, our already high-ish bills are going to get even higher, and we're the ones who pay two thirds of them you greedy little fucker.

Do you realize you sound like a conspiracy theorist? Seriously.


I am getting pretty damn sick of people arguing about politics. That surprising as I fucking love politics. And I am tired of it.
