Right? I love it when the internationale comes up after some chvrches, then is followed by some screamo. Drives anyone in the car with me insane, but I get pumped.

Because the man was legally in possession of them at the time. It’s the same reason that you have to go through a tedious process to have your car reported stolen if you let someone borrow it and don’t bring it back.

Instructions unclear, silicone now in bladder.

Also, it’s kinda ass to put that in someone else’s filter system, and you don’t want to be dealing with it in yours.

Bingo. She’s won three terms, so six years of being a rep, which means she gets the retirement and healthcare (the federal option, which she would pay the premiums for, in fairness) for life. The formula calculates out somewhere between $17-20k once she turns 62 in another nine years. Not a lot, but a very decent chunk to add to everything else.

Add in everything from the typical republican grifts and why would she bother anymore?

I know, right? A 15 inch beer can!? Don’t tell the boys, or they’ll start trading out the forties for the… I don’t know how tall a typical beer can is, but let’s just say fifty-fives.

I’m actually amazed. There are way less around me than I thought there would be.

You know, wild, insane conspiracy theory, but maybe the mental breakdown is more than just aftereffects from the stroke.

What if some republican patsy at a three letter agency has some serious blackmail on him? He’s a public figure, his actions easily scrutinized. As a senator his time, statements, and votes are public, and the government itself is doing the blackmail, so he can’t turn to anyone. If he resigns they release the blackmail. The only way to not have the blackmail released is to fake these issues. Or maybe the pressure is actually breaking him, who knows.

Fawning? As in giving birth? Giving adoration? Acting childish?

Probably called match!! a mutt instead of a goldendoodle.

I’m mildly amused that you think there are any gamers on lemmy that still use microsoft. Isn’t it mandatory to use linux to access the fediverse? ;)

For ubisoft, I have no idea. Everything I seem to read around here indicates most are dissatisfied ever since one of the assassin’s creed games a decade ago or something.

The dedication of these individuals is noteworthy… What drives this persistence? Is it a deep-seated belief system that overrides rational analysis

It’s a lovely little combo of desperation and digging themselves into a hole. Most of the elements of sovereign citizens come from people who are not in good situations, as outlined by the canadian court’s very thorough opinion (which has already been linked twice in this thread, so I won’t bother it again). Once you’re in it, the same situation occurs that you can see with people in cults, mlm companies, or ponzi schemes. Maybe if you keep going, and pushing through the pain right now, you’ll get that mythical payoff. The alternative is to face the fact that you’ve likely ruined your life, rendering impossible whatever you hoped to achieve in the legal system in the first place.

it’s not great to legally compel people to say things, especially when saying those things is directly in violation of their sense of ethics

Are you aware of how the mandatory reporting laws came into being? It is absolutely fucked up beyond belief. Anyone who doesn’t report these sorts of crimes has no ethics.

Ah, yes… tradition! Because the way things have been done is the way they must, should, will be done! Something being wrong is still wrong despite any length of time it has been done.

Looking at the picture, I don’t think she did either.

The prisons that hold death row inmates are not private, for-profit companies. The numbers have been falling steadily and are incredibly low. Still a problem, because that number is high enough to have stupid amounts of influence, but it has nothing to do with death penalty costs. Those are all because we afford death row inmates a large amount of appeals, which costs ‘lawyer money’ where some prosecuting lawyer pretends he wasn’t on a salary and they claim it’s worth X hours x Y wage, and the defense attorney does the same but with a little more truth because he is getting paid by the hour.

It’s at this point, the close range scans indicate not just some “organic gases” but trillions of organisms , all of them alien, and worst of all, possessing a chirality opposite to your own.

Your immune system and their pathogens, and your pathogens, are wholly incompatible. You touch anything, you get sick and die, and they get sick and die.

Organisms on earth use right handed chirality without issue. Even humans manipulate some. Eating an alien would probably go poorly, but interacting with one (all you mass effect fans out there can lose the burgeoning boners, creeps, I mean in something as light as a ‘handshake scenario’) wouldn’t be some terrible biological curse. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10851380/ I’m trying to scratch my head to remember because it’s been a while, but I think there are archaebacteria that use the D forms even more than the normal incorporation into peptidoglycan. It’s not a death sentence.

or if it’s “natural” to be attracted to 14yr old girls as an adult man (all topics I’ve seen on Lemmy)

Wait, what?

I won’t do what you tell me.

Pretty sure they won’t be flying again. If I remember it, barring exceptional circumstances, like being shot down by your own fleet, if your plane goes down your flight days are too.

Breathing IS part of effective cpr. It is absolutely recommended. Compressions alone are better than nothing, which is why we had a brief period where that was taught for one-person-cpr (and was meant to make nonmedical personnel more likely to do SOMETHING), but anyone trained in cpr should absolutely be following the compression:breathing ratio taught in cpr classes.
