Isn’t the Corolla the luxury line vs the camry though? And having an early prius definitely a rich person thing.

They can only steal rich people’s cars (keyless entry) with this, I’m for it. Those are the same people voting down public transit.
google says the incident was in 2002 and the reneg in 2011 (cleared in 2012) so it seems like she’d have to be 16 at time of accusation, courts took a few years to actually jail him, and she would be about 25 when she came clean. It says the statute of limitations for lying in court was passed by the time he was cleared, so no chance for a counter-suit or he would have pursued* it. The accuser was ordered to pay back money she’d gotten from the school district for claiming an unsafe environment.
I think this is a general problem with online discussion. You can have more productive discussion about capitalism/socialism/anarchism in a bar in the deep south than you can online. Online people tend to forget there’s another person with a brain on the other side of the conversation (if they even intended to be having a conversation, which people mostly don’t). We know from every day life that people don’t speak carefully in conversation—you really have to be constantly extending the benefit of the doubt. Online no one extends the benefit of the doubt even though we know most comments are off the cuff on the toilet.
There are some neat online tools for structuring discussions like Kialo that I think make some headway in diminishing the effect, but drinking a beer with someone while discussing still works better as far as having an interlocutor who is actually considering what you’re saying and who might actually be willing to shift their own view.
Internet is better equipped for quippy one liners and getting (bastardized) ideas into the zeitgeist.
Hmm I’ve been in some very small libraries where this would be an issue, but most of the ones I’ve been in have the kids section on a separate floor and the kids head straight there. Perhaps what we really need is more funding for libraries so that more can do this.
okay, this is really cool. Love when people make interactive stuff like this to help us grasp concepts
Those are gorgeous and your colleagues are lucky
Unless you memorized your 14 digit library card number so you could log into the public computers you are off my friends list
I did not so I guess we can’t chill:(
Unless you painstakingly made your own AIM icon gif by slightly editing still images in photoshop that you had to export using imageready and then crush into oblivion to fit the file size limit you are dead to me
Some of the more metro ones often have tool libraries, art you can rent, and other neat misc resources too.
Edit: also free trips to local museums or zoos/aquariums
I think she made it safely past 27 so she should be okay.
