Hospitals can send their data anywhere they want as long as they don't break HIPA. Trump can't stop them.

Not directly, but 40% of the country still thinks he shits rainbows and somewhere up that hospital corporate chain is the person who decides where that data goes and there is a good chance they are a republican.

All that and homophobia to boot, way to go TC.

If the only reason they won't date someone is the color of their skin then I'm not sure exactly how you can come to any conclusion other than racism.

Not always, but frequently/ Not because I think I need it on in the car, but I don't have anywhere particularly clean to keep it and once my hands have been touching everything they are dirty so I don't want to be grabbing all over the clean mask.

If it gets much I'll pop one loop off and let it hang on one ear, then I can get it back on without touching the mask.

Go watch the part in It's a Wonderful Life where Jimmy Stewart explains banks.

Online banks can generally offer higher rates because they have less overhead.

They were non-violent.

Kind of unironically this, if you are going to be peaceful the power structures that be know they can safely ignore and outlast you.

Playbook for that stuff is generally anger and gaslighting. Deny something is an ineffective means of getting someone to believe something is not true. Anger, blame, and threats are much more effective means to defuse suspicion as the direct emotions into an entirely different channel.

If you cannot blow out a candle/lighter/match placed in front of your cloth mask, then it is effective enough for why we should be wearing.

That being, as mentioned above, to prevent your droplets from getting out, not necessarily to stop others from getting in. This is why EVERYONE should be wearing appropriate covering in public.

I think it was just because the maps line up, which is because 5G rollout and Covid both line up pretty closely to a population density map. Something anyone with critical reasoning would be able to discern, but well conspiracy theorists.

In buildings I agree with him, but in America we have the freedom not to. Thats what makes it America.

This is dumb, you have no such freedom if they pass regulations otherwise. There is no constitutional right to save you.

The dissent is basically every Originalist's argument against anything ever, "We have convened with the spirits of the dead Congressmen and, uh, that's not what they meant. Pay no attention to what the actual words are, just know that's not what they meant."

It truly is like they misunderstand the entire purpose of the high court, instead of thinking they are there to inpterpret the meaning of how they law was codified and allow Congress to adjust should they not have passed what they thought they did, they instead believe in this arcane divination where the text is irrelevant and the only thing that matters is what they think they meant to have actually passed as law.

Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Bootlickers all to happy to overlook the idea of a living income.

What is going to be more painful $40 from the guy making $400(10%) a week or $1500 from the guy making $5000(30%) a week? Sure the rich guy is paying lot more (and they would never have an actual effective rate that high, it would be more like 24% if they aren't doing anything special), but they can't even feel that tax.

Wouldn't it be harder to get people to obey curfew laws if they do this?

But then I get to beat your ass and throw you in a cell, sounds like a win win.

Memba went Nintendo went broke for daring to make the main character in Metroid a girl at the end just to appease SJW's.

so ignorance is sometimes a defense for lawsuits, which is what i said?

No, it is not a defense in a lawsuit. Why are people on this site so moronic. If you caused someone harm (a tort) then you can be successfully sued for that action. It does not matter if your action was legal or not. It does not matter whether you knew it would cause them harm.

And even at that, you specifically called out qualified immunity which irrelevant, so good job moving the goal posts, too bad you continue to move into an area where I still score.

RadiantAdolin posted...

So you don't know what qualified immunity is for then, got it

Nope, you're the one with that problem. For real, go Google it already instead of continuing to spew false information.

Fam_Fam posted...

except it is sometimes. heard of qualified immunity?

Of course I have, you should probably Google things instead of just throwing around words you clearly don't understand. Qualified Immunity only applies to lawsuits, it is completely irrelevant for criminal proceedings. Lawsuits have only a tenuous relationship to the breaking of laws, you can be successfully sued without ever breaking the law if your actions caused harm to another party.

Hey man, it's my first day on the job, how am I supposed to know you are supposed to hold the babies head out of the water when you bathe them.

Let them plead their case in court, but their actions (or lack there of) are what they are. And when it comes to the law, excuses shouldn't mean shit, you either broke the law or not. Ignorance is not a defense.

RadiantAdolin posted...

Not because if qualified immunity.

Remember when he didn't get his ass sued off because of qualified immunity? You know, the thing it actually does instead of that bullshit you posted in the first post.

It was so funny seeing some gays support trump, saying shit like, "Daddy Trump is going to do so much for us!" like why the fuck would he even remotely like or give a fuck about you

and also lol @ the trump administration thinking THIS is what matters when the nation is burning down. never mind that it's also morally wrong to ban gay couples from adopting anyhow

Except it is what matters, one way or another the protests will come to an end. But a Supreme Court ruling would take another lifetime to undo. It's why McConnell betrayed the Constitution to keep Garland out, it's why they've been packing the courts, and why they salivate at any news of illness to Ginsburg. If they were able to replace Ginsburg with another conservative they wouldn't need to win another election for 20 years and they'd still have a lock on the keeping the country exactly the way they want it.

Ruvan22 posted...

Cool, so no criminal activity for the past 6 years - that (to me at least) shows somebody doing better

It's all completely fucking irrelevant anyway. I don't give a fuck if they find out he was the Zodiac killer, police still can't just execute a dude in the street because they feel like it.

That's not how religious freedom works dumbass.

Minneapolis police union chief: 'It's ok to murder people if they have a violent past.'

It doesn't even mean that you can say what you want, it just means the federal government can't regulate what you say.

Private entities are free to restrict, limit or place rules around how you can exercise your speech within their properties.

Thinking like this is preventing change.

Thinking differently is what enables the status quo. The two party system will not fall until there is ranked choice voting. Choose the least bad party that actually has a chance and then work to change it.

Pepys Monster posted...

We don't have to choose the lesser of two evils. We can just not vote for evil.

As long as you are fine being under the greater of two evils for 4 years I guess this is a thing.

I won't try to get into any specifics, but think it this way:

For 60 attempts you should succeed ~20 times and for 10 you should succeed ~3.

So, 6 out of 60 is not very likely, and much the same 1 out of 10 isn't either.

But 6 out of 60 is like doing the 1 out of 10 6 times in a row. So you take something unlikely and then ask what the odds are of doing that unlikely thing even more times in a row and you can see why 6 out of 60 is much more unlikely.

It is nearly impossible for America to have a Civil War, no force can stand up to the military so you would need them to somehow nearly equal divide themselves into opposing forces to have any sort of real war.

If it goes bad, military sides with Trump and we become a dictatorship or military sides against him and what we become is much harder to put your finger on.

China is fucked up, but that is straight ether.

Kavanaugh's dissent was such pure partisan drivel that it was disgusting. For a bunch of purported originalists they sure do seem to act like they have never read the thing when it suits their goals.

It's been quite a while since I've seen it. It was entertaining enough, but nothing great as I recall. It was like what if we make Reality Bites, but take out the depressing drama and add in some comedy. I would guess enjoyment will tie into how much you can enjoy coming of age period pieces. Like if you enjoy Valley Girl, you'd probably like this well enough.

Is rioting positive? Not at all.

Is it ideal? Nope.

Is it necessary? Absolutely. The only fucking reason he was charged is because 100s of thousands caused chaos. You can not deny this fact that its the only reason he was charged.

Pretty much this, when change can not be had through peaceful resolution the only option is violent revolution.

I would guess you mean a record store and that you are talking about Empire Records.

But would you eat a little girls pizza bones?

Reddit post is a bit of an eyeroll, but at least it was on a weed sub, so it gets a pass.

4Chan is total cringe. I'm sure they are just trying to fit in over there, but really that just makes it even cringier. "Hey look guys, I too understand the meaninglessness of life and how stupid everyone else not us is for even bothering to continue their existence."

marc55 posted...

on reddit they say it should be possible this EO can be used by twitter to delete trump tweets like the "when the looting starts the shooting starts " one dont know if they are right

but itll be fun to see trump reaction if they are !

Technically they always could, the two reasons they don't are that they'd have to waste a bunch of money in court over it because Donald and because he makes them a shit ton of money.

In a time with less partisan craziness, Donald would not be allowed to use Twitter the way he has. He is essentially picking winners and losers in the marketplace by using a private platform as his official communique. Imagine if he moved exclusively to some new platform created by someone in his inner circle.

The whole public record argument does not hold up for a private entity like Twitter, if the White House wants to claim his tweets are public record then it is incumbent on them to preserve that, not force a private entity to abide.

Irony posted...

I plan on complaining that I'm being treated unfairly when Trump tweets aren't deleted.

You're reading my mind dude.

If you say something so inflammatory you have to immediately follow it with how you were just using it as a euphemism for something, then you really just meant that inflammatory shit.

Reagan is much worse than Bush. Bush wasn't great but the lives he lost and and personal freedoms abridged only came about due to 9/11, without that he would likely be a run of the mill Republican.

And 9/11 was a direct result of Reagan policies, so much of the disparity we see today socially, econimically, and internationally all stem from Reagan. Fuck that guy.

Not if you are a 40 year old with money to burn.

the whole country isn't getting infected, guy.

Due to a massive restriction on movement and gathering. While we wouldn't hit 100% infected, it will likely get into the 60-80%. But the 0.3% is just a bunch of guessing and hoping that our testing is poorer than we think. Current closed case death rate is 13% worldwide(17% in the US).

But the real point is to put a real number on the abstract. It is too easy for someone to say 'oh it's just 0.3%, that's like one in a million', but when you convert that to real numbers you realize that 0.3% is 1 in 300.

abaddon41_80 posted...

The CDC has updated their mortality rate estimate to 0.3%, and that is for all age groups and still likely an overestimation. They calculated it using six times the number of confirmed cases as the denominator but most experts think the real amount of cases if 10+ times higher than the confirmed cases.

If you are under 65 and without any pre-existing medical conditions, the CFR is essentially 0%.

0.3% of the US Population is 984,000 people, let's hope we can do better than that maybe?

Never really had any bad things happen to me.

10,000 BTU's should do about 450 sqft with normal ceilings.

AC's greatly diminish when you have them in too large of a space.

6,000 BTU's in 200 sqft is going to feel way better than 10,000 in 500 sqft.
