I think I agree. Did he do something stupid, dangerous, and idiotic? yes. Do I think he's scum for doing it? yeah, sure. Should he be sent to jail? Doubtful. Dude probably will be shamed wherever he goes and probably won't be acting again, so since he didn't physically hurt anyone except for himself, I think it's probably fair not to put him in prison with violent offenders. I more or less agree with Foxx in that we should mostly be putting dangerous offenders in jail.

Here are a few snippets. " Kim Foxx was elected prosecutor over the fierce objections of the police, of Emanuel, and of the backers of the old paradigm. She ran as a reformer, arguing that the current approach is broken and that prosecutors should look for ways, when possible, to resolve problems without resorting to incarceration. The power of the office, she said, should be re-oriented toward the most dangerous and harmful of crimes." "Smollett, Foxx reminded readers, committed a Class 4 felony, the least serious category, and is suffering massive personal and career consequences. Should he also be put behind bars? “I was elected on a promise to rethink the justice system, to keep people out of prison who do not pose a danger to the community,” she wrote." And as to the recusal part: "Foxx, because she had previously communicated with a relative of Smollett’s, recused herself from the decision-making process. But she’s standing by her deputy’s call."

Couldn't find a thread on prison reform so I thought this might be the next best since it's probably divisive. How do we feel about Jussie Smollet not being prosecuted?

Sorry dude, I just wouldn't be able to give it the time it deserves.

I'll forever love Brie Larson bc of Scott Pilgrim

Did we ever settle on a spec thread?

@Nolder did you check out Joe Rogan's recent brace of Podcasts with Jack Dorsey? I'm curious about your thoughts.

I mean, perhaps I'm missing something, but you can clearly see his picture in the 2nd image.

yep

Uni is dope - have a great time!

I literally just received a secondhand 3DS from a friend and I'm waaay behind on the pokemon train. Last game I played was the OG Ruby so I am starting back with Gen 3 and Alpha Sapphire to get my bearings. Can't wait to play all the ones I missed!

I appreciate it dude, everything is good. I'm just moving back to the States from South Korea and taking a month and a half to travel through Vietnam and stuff. I just don't think I'll be able to be terribly active and I don't want the game to suffer.

Oh uhhh I probably should /out bc I'm moving this week and I'll be homeless thereafter for the next month and a half so not super conducive to being active. I meant to /out 2 days ago but got distracted. If that messes you up then I can still try my best.

Legolas is still hot
