I really like the idea of this. I’m going to book mark the link and never click it.

That’s hilarious, that you had to pretend you were dying of cancer for such extravagance to make sense in your life.

Unfortunately yes.

Ignorance is bliss.

Man you see how it happens. You see these Republicans out there trying to fuck everything when it comes to making it easy to vote. In some places you dip your finger in a jar of ink after you cast your vote, that’s how they make sure nobody was twice on election day. In some places, I assume it’s all computerized and still accurate. That, and Nobody wants to run for office and get death threats from their neighbors, the most absolute gullible dumbasses in town. Every person in my neighborhood with a Trump sign have no idea how anything works except their own one particular job, and how to get scared at anything else.

I agree. I protested the war when it started, but it did start, and it did continue, and Trump’s move to free all those Taliban prisoners and basically give the country to them was one tmof the most shameful things America has done in a long time. But Trump loves fascists and the Taliban are fascists.

Yeah but where can anyone make you go that you don’t have a floor?

I guess you could be tortured and held up in stress positions.

We have the same tax law in America. Can’t deduct clothing that you could wear for non work.

It’s a good practice because you always have one nearby. One of the few things no one can ever take from you.

Cabin?

Dude is delusional judges are absolutely immune from suits over their decisions. The remedy for a bad decision is an appeal, not a collateral attack.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Very well. The other night was at a fall festival and they had some carnys pushing carts filled with toys and balloons, you know, plastic swords, plastic guns, snaps, stink bombs, and blow up guitars, etc., and they all had a bunch of flags for sale, including, at the very top, a bunch of made in China trump shit.

I saw one carney, who was black, and he did not have trump shit. So when it was time to let the kiddo pick a toy or something, I said he could buy from that carney. And I struck up a convo by offering that it was his lack of Trump shit that got him this sale; an important thing, I think, to tell retailers of this sort. We dapped it up for a second and he was looked at me like, “come the fuck on, obviously there’s no trump shit on my cart.” He said one of the other Carneys told him how much more money he could make, and how he asked the other guy back, “man, are you fucking stupid?” Nice guy.

Nah, it was a letter signed by a bunch of doctors to some medical society or another.

The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.

Very possible. There was a group of podiatrists who wanted to add athletes foot as a primary symptom of COVID. I can’t seem to find their letter right now. Google really sucks these days.

It’s a serious virus. People don’t realize. Just because most people fight it off like a flu doesn’t mean is was as easy on your body for it to do so. Imagine if we had a president that didn’t treat it as a joke. Might be a few million people still alive.

People don’t get it. The inflammatory process can do these sort of thing to any organ or system, or parts of them.

People got a thing called COVID Toe. This is where you and every person already has some fungus that live on their feet and which gets into the skin and toenails. Maybe you have a little yellowing of the toenails or you’re just “prone to athletes foot.”

Then you get COVID and suddenly your immune system is working overtime. The fungus starts to multiply faster and spreads more aggressively. Your toes start to get itchy and red, more than usual. They swell. They yellow. Then they start to crack and ooze, possibly requiring surgical debridement or in the most severe cases, such as where the patient already had diabetes affecting their peripheral nerves, amputation of the foot to prevent necrosis and sepsis. Imagine dying from athletes foot because your immune system was overwhelmed fighting a coronavirus.

Dan Carlin called fascism, among other things, an “intellectual contagion.”

Yeah if you don’t plead, a not guilty is entered by default, and the state is left to its proof.

It’s strange. The dude has heard all about articles one and three of the UCC but not the right to remain silent. Seems like he skipped ahead in the reading.

I’m presuming it’s well water because city water wouldn’t do that unless there was a major, widespread problem.

$200 is for the full array of tests. VOCs, heavy metals, bacteria. Good to get the full testing done at least once.
