“Trump will probably say that ungrateful lady, I’m going to make sure she gets back on probation and give her the worst you can give her. I won’t be surprised,” she said.
Thanks, Ms. Hemphill, for restoring a modicum of my hope that at least one MAGA person can exercise the necessary self reflection to become rational and personally accountable for their actions.
It expanded my understanding of their socioeconomic plight, psychological suffering, and physiological vicious cycle, exacerbated by ineffective draconian punitive measures implemented by government. It’s a truly excellent and compassionate book, I found the discussion on brain chemistry fascinating as well, and should be easy enough to find with Libby or at a local library.
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Gabor Mate was pivotal in reframing my perspective on addiction and addicts.
Like either of them ever actually liked each other. Purely a transactional relationship never without an expiration date.
Continuum is a tidy lil show addressing this, too. Actually, not so tidy, a bit of a mess. But still entertaining and intriguing at times.
Will they be able to identify as African Americans on surveys and census forms?
I don’t think they need to camouflage their cameras so elaborately in the US. US citizens are already painfully oblivious/acclimatized to being surveilled by the government/corporations.
So many ballistic trajectories, so much falling lead.
It’s called Neuralink.
He may be stupidly rich and powerful, but I’m still infinitely grateful I’m not him.
Living your life to impress other men by hating women is one of the most embarrassing things I can imagine. Looking up to any of these men for how to live your life is even sadder.
I’ve worked hard to keep these kinds of men out of my personal life, to keep them away from me, out of my goddamn sight. Now they are in my face daily, not only influencing the world for the worse but making me nauseous at how uncool and pathetic they are, on top of their other sins. It’s too much, I can’t take it, there needs to be a change.
It’s time for us to start getting revenge on the nerds.
Sounds to me like they crave attention more than anything, poor insecure past-neglected angsty man-agers they are. Depopulating their various platforms and reducing their viewership would be nice. Sucks that anyone at all would feel inclined to lend them their ears and eyes when there are far better alternatives out there.
I love how your sentence can also be said “When incompetents vote for incompetents, you tend to get incompetents as the result.”
How is this not being plastered as wholesale human trafficking between countries, being done with full public awareness?
I think someone can ask to resign, and officers may have a little bit easier of a time resigning a commission, but typically most service members are on a contract for a certain term of service. Quitting before the contract is up…I’m not certain it’s as easy as just quitting, based on posts I’ve seen in r/army.
AWOL - Absence Without Leave. A violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. May result in an Article 15 Hearing, AKA Non-judicial Punishment, or Court Martial. Confinement may be one of the resulting punishments. Deserting assigned duty is absolutely not taken lightly. Anyone wishing to separate should find a different, more legal, way to do it. I’ve heard failing to pass the body composition or fitness standard is one of the easier ways to get a discharge prior to contract fulfillment. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title10-section886&num=0&edition=prelim
It’s comforting to know most of the uniformed participants will probably dislike the experience and think it’s a cringe waste of their time.
I feel like secret service would get itself all in a tizzy, citing things like “terrorism” and “chemical warfare” if members of the senate and/or their staffers received care packages containing:
Alkylated lead compounds, Polycyclic organic matter (POM), Mercury, Hexachlorobenzene, Polychlorinated biphenyls(PCB), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDF), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
Seems kinda hypocritical imho.
Several Republican lawmakers have been attempting to revoke the rule. Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah introduced the resolution which passed Thursday. Curtis had argued that the rule disincentivized companies to deploy new technology to reduce pollution.
“The rule put forward under the former administration shut the door on progress,” Curtis said in a statement after the resolution’s passage. “It told companies that no matter how much they invest to reduce harmful emissions, they would still be punished with permanent red tape. That’s not good science, it’s not good governance, and it certainly isn’t good for the environment. My resolution restores a common-sense incentive: if you clean up, you get credit for it.”
Buuuuuuuuut, if you don’t clean up, don’t worry about it.
A CGP Grey scholar, I see.
