What’s truly fucked is they got caught doing it, then got released on bail and it went on for another year before they got caught again. I hope these sick fucks go away for a long, long time.

Honestly, a part of me was a bit disappointed that’s not what it was. I was so invested and curious to learn why that could even happen, only to find it didn’t.
Glad he’s ok-ish, though.
Didn’t WaPo recently get bought out? Or was that another paper I’m thinking of?
Edit: Nope, just reorganized, it seems.
I found the x2 were pretty tasty, but it’d be unpleasant for a few hours before the ring of fire, and that’d usually disrupt my sleep a bit, so it wasn’t worth it. I just went with the regular spice level instead. I haven’t tried the x3, but it seems like it’s getting a bit silly by that point.
How many times is Trump referred to as “convicted felon Donald Trump”?
And I cannot lie
You other brothers can’t deny
Clearly they’ve found a new way to bundle your internet, cellular, satellite tv, auto insurance, pet walker, and lawn care, all in a new ultra-value^† bundle.

That’s a much more nuanced take that I can fully get behind.
One of the hard parts about living with aging animals is that we can’t just ask them what they want. We have to guess about their quality of life, and do so while trying to put the animals wellbeing above our own emotional distress about losing them, and that can understandably be very challenging sometimes.
I see an elephant. What does that mean, Dr. Rorschach?
Improvements in human medicine have over doubled human life expectancy from 32 to 71 since 1900. Do you think anyone above 40 is also “cheating” death?
From my experience, CKD quality of life changes come on quickly, so you’d be giving your cat a lot more high quality years of life. And even an elderly cat can still enjoy a lot of the good things in life, even if they can’t run and jump quite like they used to.
No they aren’t, but at least they’ll typically be working with and advised by people who do have that domain knowledge. And yeah, I could see a system working where there’s basically a veto vote for the people.
Direct democracy sounds like a horrible system for national governance, though. The average person has nowhere near the capacity to be informed enough on a wide range of issues to make good decisions. You need specialists with deep domain knowledge to guide policy decisions, not lots of laypersons.
I think it’s a good heuristic, but it’s not always true. It butts heads with the law of unintended consequences, and the law of big numbers, especially when you’re in a more global community.
I think you’re absolutely right to trust your gut, but it’s also important to verify those feelings with introspection and logic.
We’re on social media. Sometimes people are a little carless with how they write, and are maybe a little more terse than they ought to be. Taking every post completely literally and not giving people the benefit of the doubt seems a bit silly. I take no umbrage with the statement, because I know who they’re talking about, and it’s not me. I have nothing to be scared of.
I’m a (kinda) old cis white male, and I know that they’re not talking about me, because I’m not a bigot or racist.
Thou shouldst do as thou pleases.
Here, here. Won’t somebody think of the moderates, and their refined sensibilities? After all, they certainly didn’t personally blow up aid trucks and hospitals in Gaza.
I was curious about the flag, so did a little reading. Apparently the “Appeal to heaven” is referring to John Locke’s writings regarding the right to revolution:
And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven.
(Second Treatise of Civil Government. John Locke)
Locke’s contention was that no man had inherent power to regulate or restrict divine arbitration in civil affairs. Even in dire circumstances, he alleged, natural rights transcended the political process.
We all know he’d bring back slavery if he could. Witch burnings? I could see it. Lead pipes? Why not. Heliocentricism? No thanks. I wonder if he’d call for a full revert to monke.
I didn’t even realize where we were until I read your comment.
