There are no other options to choose from if we want aggressive responses that the bullies in charge will respect and respond to. Newstrom is it. Perfect being the enemy of good is the typical democrat excuse to sit on hands and do nothing.

Maybe the democratic party can realize what makes the people jump and put a better person in charge of that particular weapon, but that’s not going to happen because the democratic party has no leader at all. I’ve worked in departments that didn’t have a manager and there was a long gap before one was appointed, people tend to just continue doing what they were doing while they had a manager, and if anything changes it isn’t their problem and eventually the entire process breaks down to a bunch of people drinking coffee and arguing about who should be doing what.

He won’t, they don’t have any dirt on him

The ritual, known as the metzitzah b’peh, is a type of circumcision in which the person performing the procedure, or mohel, directly places his mouth on and sucks the blood from the baby’s newly circumcised penis.

The controversial ritual came under intense scrutiny earlier this year after health officials reported 11 babies had contracted herpes infections between 2000 and 2011.

“By telling a mohel he is prohibited from performing a religious ritual unless he tells the parents that, by the way, the child might die in the process, you are forcing us to say something which we are convinced is wrong,” said Rabbi David Niederman of the Brooklyn-based United Jewish Organization of Williamsburg.

If you can make laws that everyone breaks, it’s trivial to name any of them ‘criminal’ at your convenience.

to be honest that’s exactly why I’m on arch and not ubuntu or cntos. Ironically it was gpt that helped me get it set up and it would have had a lot more trouble without it, but now that the job is done I don’t want it hanging around in the OS like ‘hey buddy squeaking past ya gettn a beer’

Have you tried getting high too?

Rick and Morty did this once, Rick simply put on a hat with a QR code that made a robot army recognize him as a high level commander.

A few days ago I read a short story, comp.basilisk.faq by David Langford, which sketched a world in which specific images could irreversibly crash the brain, leading to a full scale worldwide ban on images on the internet and many other places as well. The story postulated hundreds of potential info-hazards with many of them simple enough to be applied via stencil and spray paint. Two of them are branch families of the Mandelbrot set ‘and no we won’t tell you where, do not look’

• Blit — David Langford
• The Atrocity Archives — Charles Stross
• Doctor Who — “Blink” / “The Time of the Doctor”
• SCP Foundation — SCP-096
• SCP-7387 (“The Mathematician’s Grin”)

I installed arch recently, and the steam client was pretty easy to install. What really shocked me is that all the stuff that works fine on my steam deck also works fine in arch, so that’s nice

You know what fully ended school shootings? The pandemic lockdown. We know what causes school shootings; schools are an underfunded nightmare pressure cooker half a step away from the prison system. We know how to fix it, change the system. Since we rushed back to the system that causes the shootings as quickly as we could, I guess you could absolutely say they died for nothing and will continue to die for nothing, probably until there are no more humans left to die for nothing.
